OK so I'm home for spring break and I want to restart FFVII.
I have this problem with RPGs. I love them. But they are long. I get a attached. So I have this bad habit of playing the game until the verrrry end, but then opting not to beat it because I realize I just put like 40 hours of my life into it and when I beat it I know I'll just want to do it again.
So about 2 years ago I played until Sephy and then...stopped.
And now I want to play till completion.
So my question is, is there anything you recommend for a 'complete play' of FFVII? This could be anything, not just 'all items, max materia' etc., but just what makes the game complete to you? Anything I should do along the way so I won't get to the end and me like '...damn'?

I had that same problem. My suggestion is to go through it, then turn around and get three sets of Master Materia. The hard way.
Honesly, once you've got three sets like that, you'll want to finish the game.

Thanks for the advice smile I thought of doing that the first time I played through, but maybe now I'll do it for real smile

Trust me, Once you put that kind of work into it, it'll get to the point of where you "HAVE" to finish the game. And what's fantastic about it is that once you actually put that much work into it. You'll have some sort of bragging rights. (One of my save files has a set of Master Materia for each character. That was hard.)

There are many things you can do to finish the game with the satisfaction of "I just beat the game".
~Get everyones final weapons and Limit Breaks.
~Get Knights of the Round Materia by finishing the Chocobo subquest.
~Get all Enemy Skills, not an easy thing to do.
~Get Master Materia, meaning beating the weapons.
~Completely conquer the Gold Saucer. Getting all the items as prizes.
~You could choose to chase rumors and try out all the "Revive Aeris" rumors.
~Seek out every single little item hidden in the game.
~Max out at least one of each materia.
~Get your a** pwned on Cactuar Island.
~ect.
See? There are many roads to take before you can finish the game.

Also, you could learn to play the tune of Tifa's piano (that sounds eerily similar to the Highwind theme xD) just to get the extra Elemental materia.
There's also raising a Gold Chocobo from scratch. Believe me, that feels good once you've completed and can whoop Teio (spelling?) in the chocobo races and get the Knights of The Round, etc.
In disc 3, you can go down into the basement of the Shin-Ra Mansion, examine the test tubes, and see a flashback of Cloud's running away with Zack, and Zack's death. Then go into the library in the next screen to read the reports of the JENOVA experiments (tests named C and Z, can you guess who?)
Like stated in another's post, about the master materia, the hard way.
Getting the Key to get back into Midgar.
Defeating the WEAPONS, but of course, that can't be easily forgotten.
Getting all your characters to level 99 is an option, but I think that serves no real purpose.
That's al I can think of. =D Please forgive any typos.

If you want a real challenge try beating the Emerald weapon with out under water materia. It's possible and it's a little more fulfilling then chasing revive Aeris or play as Zack rumors.

sort of unrelated but kinda of is, my friend and i realized how funny the end of the game is when you think of it in the terms of like..in the story supposedly once metor is summoned that it was gonna fall in like a week or 2, and by the time the party gets cloud back and all that, meteor is 3 days away from hitting the planet...and at that point in the game is when we are all trying to run around doing the chocobo raising and mastering materia and all the many many things. so it seems humorous for the planets heros to be like "meteor is almost here!!!...buuuut we are gonna go make some chocobos shag...way more important"
anyhoo i think its funny. but another fun thing to do near the end of the game is buy that big house in costa de sol.
