Okay, I heard from a friend that FFVII was originally supposed to be a 5 disks long game. Also it was originally planned to be on Nintendo 64, but Nintendo was like "No, we do cartridges, not disks. Screw your game." So FFVII was almost down the drain but Playstation was like "Hey we can do FFVII, but we can only do 3 disks." And FFVII was like "Well, it's better than nothing." And as a result, they had to cut the story 2 disks short!!!!!!
From what I heard, in the complete story, Aeris comes back to life, and Sephiroth joins your party. So apparently, just when you thought FFVII couldn't be any longer, you find that there's still more to it!!!!
Is this true??? What are your views on this? What else is there, that I haven't said??

No. Just no. I can understand it originally working towards sticking with Nintendo, but the story behind that was that the cartridges wouldnt hold most of the story or extra stuff available in the game we have on PS or the comp now. But 5 disks with Sephiroth coming over to your party and Aeris coming back to life? No.

If Sephiroth joined your team, then who would you fight at the end? And if Aeris came back to life, then...um...according to my sister, she'd murder people or something. Yup. ninja

thonek well i know if you use the save crystal in the flowers at the chapel in midgar save, and turn it off when you load it up, she'll be acessable through phs.or something like that, i never really tried it.always used the crystal in northern crater,
However, back on topic. Angelvi, what your friend told you was a total and utter lie. Final Fantasy VII was never supposed to be five discs, and Sephiroth was never meant to join your party, as he is the main VILLIAN of the game. Aerith was never meant to be resurrected, as that would destroy the whole point of her sacrifice in the first place, and turn Final Fantasy VII's story to crap later on in the game.
Originally, Final Fantasy VII WAS supposed to be on the N64. However, as the N64 uses cartridges, they can only hold so much space. The thing with Square-Enix (at that time, Squaresoft) is that they wanted to include all these cool movie cutscenes they made for the game, but not all of them could fit into it with the rest of the gameplay in the cartridge. Thus, they went to the Sony Playstation, since the Playstation can handle games with multiple discs. Squaresoft and Nintendo had a strained relationship at this time, and Square eventually broke off from Nintendo altogether until a couple of years ago when they finally made amends.
If Square really wanted to, they could have done a five disc game, although that would probably cost more. However, judging from the content on the final disc, they probably could have included more, but as with many games, Square had a deadline to meet, and Final Fantasy VII had already been pushed back on it's release date multiple times already.
Final Fantasy VII: International had a fourth disc, but it was purely bonus material with detailed synopsises on characters, locations, events, as well as timelines, artwork, and maps, just to name a few.

Well, like I said, I heard this from a friend, and he probably heard it from his friend, who heard it from his friend and so on. And if Aeris came back to life, and Sephiroth joined your party, I don't think the game would become total crap. The FFVII storytellers did an awesome job, and I'm sure even if all of that was the original story, they probably would make that ending really cool too. You can't say that the extra piece in the story (if there was one) would be crappy if you don't know it. In fact, the fact that Sephiroth would join your group would make me even more curious to play it. Anyway, since I've heard it from the true fans, I'll just conclude and agree that it was probably just a rumor.

as far as i know the sephroth in your party and the rivived arith was just GS codes and ones that work badly at that and as for the 5 discs i think thats just BS, i doubt sony would put a number of discs limit on there consols. thoe i can see square wanting to stick with ninty at the time and being put of by the cartrage thing.

Angelvi Well, like I said, I heard this from a friend, and he probably heard it from his friend, who heard it from his friend and so on.

Anyway, since I've heard it from the true fans, I'll just conclude and agree that it was probably just a rumor.
If they'd added more to the game, then it'd be nice, but having Aerith come back to life after her tragic death scene would be rather, well, anti-climatic. Although not exactly the same, Final Fantasy IV had some scenes where you seriously thought a character died, and then they'd come back around the end, making you go WTF as you saw their not-quite-dead sprites dance across the television screen. It's either she dies and stays dead, or doesn't die at all for me. However, communicating with her spirit in some manner or form could be acceptable, given Aerith's heritage and whatnot.
There was actually very little game content on the third disc, compared to the first two, but that was mostly because the ending FMV sequence was so HUGE. razz I think they were more than capable of adding more if they wanted to (it would have been nice to have more backstory and sidequests for the characters, particularly Vincent and Yuffie since they got little development in comparison with the other characters), since Final Fantasy VIII and IX had four discs themselves.
As far as I'm concerned, the game is fine the way it is. It's not absolutely perfect, but good enough for me. biggrin
Like you said, things probably got distorted when the rumor went from one friend to another. Although, if it should interest you, there were cutscenes that were never implemented into the final version of the game that are shown in Final Fantasy VII: Ultimania Omega. There's a website that's actually translated a few of these for the public's enjoyment thus far. razz You should go take a look at the couple they have here.
While you're at it, read some of the original character profiles. A few have changed a lot in the development process.
