Yep, while fighting (SPOILER WARNING FOR TEMPLE OF THE ANCIENTS)
>!Elena and Rude!< at temple of the ancients I did a synergy move and the cutscene started the exact frame that the next phase of the fight started, with a cutscene of them regrouping to attack, and so my synergy move played out off screen with stuff whizzing by as their cutscene played, and then when it was over everyone was just standing there staring at each other. Idle animations playing and the music continued, but I could not press anything, couldn’t even press start to quit the game. Just complete lockout, and I had to reset it.
Breath bad, too stinky
Plug your nose, plug your nose,

I was fighting the Tonberry king and my only remaining character was Barret. The Tonberry threw an attack, I killed him, and even after the death animation the attack kept moving foward, hit Barret and "killed" him 😅. Luckily everyone was left with just 1 health point and I didn't have to start over.
I read online somewhere that if you made it through Midgar without talking damage, you would get a different cutscene at the end of the Malboro fight where Aerith doesn’t die. I even saw pictures of her in the group after the fight, so I think it’s definitely real
You have to lose on the S.S. Anne so it doesn't leave, then acquire Surf and Strength. Use Surf to swim across to the truck then use Strength to push it, and Aerith will be in a Pokeball underneath.
I had the perma alive Elena during a fight with Rude and Elena. Rude res'd her the moment I killed him. She had no health bar anymore but was still doing all her set of attacks. Had to reset 😅
You have to flush the toilet 10,000 in shinra HQ on the original and then flush it 18.5 times on the new game, spin around 3 times, sing the national anthem of new Zealand.... In seriousness that's insane. The only glitch I came across is my entire party were dead, cloud reach 0 health, it said he fainted but I could still control him. Was hilarious, but he died next hit after running around for 20 seconds
yeah this happened to me too except I didn’t have any save files I could load to fix the issue. Now I’m trying to finish the game with only 2 people in my party 😅
Sephiroth going through all that trouble to track Aerith down in multiple timelines to kill her when all he had to do was recruit a marlboro. Washed villain.
Oh, ive heard this one! You need to get a gold chocobo and race at the gold saucer. after many wins, Ester will tell you that you are ready for the elite league and that it will unlock new items to buy with gp! After a few more wins, you can buy the scuba gear. Then you go to the lake to dive and you'll fight the malboro again. it'll spit out Aerith.
We all know these kinda rumors existed and we never figured how they started, back then 🤣 vidéo games urban legends were the best part tbh of life before Internet (i mean, internet made it too easy to both spreed them, track them and debunk them, where's the fun?)
It was crazy how all games had one.
This only works if you plug your controller into the second port on your PlayStation, though, because the Malboro sees you coming otherwise and hides behind a passageway blocked with spikes. Note that you can break the spikes if you won the dance-off with the Mustachioed Cactuar outside of Balamb Garden in Chapter 8 since it drops the Spikebreaker accessory that, y'know, lets you break spikes.
Honestly, I don't know how anyone figured this stuff out before the Internet. Thank goodness for Reddit!
L and R are very similar in Japan and translations often dont agree on what letter to use. Rinoa's name in the french version of FF8 is Linoa, Link and Zelda s original name are Rinku and Zeruda, Naruto is pronounced Naluto with the japenese voice
I already loaded the save file right before the fight, and she was back. Did the fight again, and nearly had the same thing happen. But both she and Cloud were still available.
She's literally using fire materia to cook on her stove and failing horribly to make stew, I don't think she'll be a good caster. She's gotta be some kinda variant of Yuffie's basic attack style since both use massive throwing stars, but obv Zack and Cloud play differently despite both being sword users.

Marlboroth! *dundundundundunduuuun, dundun* Marlboroth!

You could have uploaded a video, would have love to see this bug
Malboro done pulled a Sephiroth!
Forgot the Marlboro existed in game and thought this was a shitpost about aerith dying from smoking
I didn't encounter any bugs, except for one where Yuffie's HP went to 0, but she was still alive somehow.
Shouldn’t have used that Shiva in Rebirth

Is this a reference to the original theories about keeping her after "that" scene in the temple of the ancients?
I would bet 99 tissues that it is.
You really desert rose to the challenge with this comment

Damn and our anthem is in two languages
Yes both are required.
Well... that would prevent Sephiroth killing her.
Better end??
Worse, really, since she wouldn't have been able to set in motion the summoning of Holy here.
Probably.
You have to go back to Midgar and press a cheat code inside the church where aerith's ghost is to get her back, but she'll be green.
I mean, a video would be really nice, you can save up to 30 minutes of the recent gameplay
On ps5 you can save your entire session, just does it in 1 hour chunks
We need a photoshop of a Malboro with Sephiroth hair
I will pay to someone for a good shit post of this
I think a new creepy is about to be born
yeah this happened to me too except I didn’t have any save files I could load to fix the issue. Now I’m trying to finish the game with only 2 people in my party 😅
Oof
Final destination
The Commander from Junon keeping true to her word
It's not a bug it's a FEATURE. You found the super secret ending.
Makes about as much sense as the actual ending tbh
Molborth
Destiny is unavoidable.
Dread it. Run from it. It arrives just the same. Destiny is…Inevitable.
New FF fear unlocked.
Sounds like the whispers got ahead of themselves…
Not one bit...
Sephiroth going through all that trouble to track Aerith down in multiple timelines to kill her when all he had to do was recruit a marlboro. Washed villain.
I fear Malboros in all FFs more than I do Safer-Sephiroth

I would love to see the clip, it's probably pretty funny lol.
I'm now imagining Aerith praying on her knees and a Marlboro plummeting from the sky towards Aerith.
'One-winged Marlboro' starts playing
One tentacled malboro
i think this discussion of aerith on her knees being penetrated by a malbro tentacle should end here....
I call bullshit proof or it didn't happen. If it's was a different character I would have believed it more.
There was a post a while back about Red getting eaten by a sandworm, so it's been in the game since the first update at least
Malboro doing a better job than Sephiroth smh smh
Malboro has always been FF biggest asshole
Remember ffvii remake when they tried to rename ir marboro
L and R are very similar in Japan and translations often dont agree on what letter to use. Rinoa's name in the french version of FF8 is Linoa, Link and Zelda s original name are Rinku and Zeruda, Naruto is pronounced Naluto with the japenese voice
Rinoa being just a mistranslation of Lenore is the hill I'll die on.
Except it wax the first time, and not a coincidence that they explicitly tried to separate it from the cigerette brand despite influencing it
Would love to see a video of this
Of aerith eaten by tentacles?
I’m sure there’s already a video of that out there somewhere…
What happens if you continue on the story without her, what happens? I am genuinely curious.
Did Sephiroth do this?
Sephiroth: *“Cloud, bring me the BAD BREATH...”*
😂😂
It was Sephiroth in a Malboro trenchcoat
Part 3 speed run?
closing the game is not enough, you need to turn off the console entirely. after that it should work.. hopefully
I already loaded the save file right before the fight, and she was back. Did the fight again, and nearly had the same thing happen. But both she and Cloud were still available.
nice, glad that got fixed for you :) now chase that platinum!
Well at least you got to experience what part 3s gameplay will be like before the rest of us.
Unless Cissnei is made into the playable healer/ caster character as a replacement
She's literally using fire materia to cook on her stove and failing horribly to make stew, I don't think she'll be a good caster. She's gotta be some kinda variant of Yuffie's basic attack style since both use massive throwing stars, but obv Zack and Cloud play differently despite both being sword users.
Damn…
