Day Three of Top Gaming Moments. Calum describes his top gaming moment.
----------------
"
After much deliberation I must conclude that my absolute best gaming moment would be in Final Fantasy 7.
This moment is contained within the closing sequence of Final Fantasy 7 , after 114 hours of gripping game play you Cloud are faced with your ultimate nemesis; Sephiroth the absolute final boss. After having defeated Jenova and Sephiroths monster form (bout an hour of heart stopping battling) you are faced with Sephiroth the man in menacing human form.
Cloud stands alone, holding his massively over sized sword, no magic, no summons, no team mates, just him and his sword. Sephiroth the same, brandishing a similarly massive katana blade, a bastion of threat. There is no music, no ambiance, just a deep piano and thump of a heart beat...all that you can hear is Cloud's beating heart. Every moment of the game, every second of the 114 hours I played is a build up to this single point. Up shoots the time to attack bar, *brring* it fills, ready to attack. As Clouds heart beats, slowly speeding up, his limit break bar is synchronised sneaking up. With every thudump up creeps his limit break. Do you wait till it fills? Do you attack now? I wait, eyes fixed on Clouds limit break...this is why I chose this moment. I know if Sephiroth attacks, One slash is all he needs to take me down, on the same note, I think one slash is all I need to take him down...but just in case, I wait for the limit break....the OMNISLASH!!!!!!
The suspense is insane, slowly grows the limit break, Sephiroth could attack at any beat of Clouds heart that passes.
Finally the limit break is ready!!!
With haste I select the Omnislash and BAM! I start the end of the game.
Cloud moves in; takes his first slash! 9999! maximum damage.
Second, Third, Forth all perfectly placed, perfect 9999, maximum damage.
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Cloud gives him hell!! Poppin' him like a can o' Pringles!!!
With triumph I deal maximum damage, Omnislash the best attack in the game and Sephiroth is down.
Hurrah!!! I WIN :D , and now I'm rewarded with the ending movies which at that point were the best graphics I'd seen.
Ah final fantasy 7, gotta love it.
