Sunday, August 8th FF7 Debug Code Two Gameshark hackers have found a secret debug room in Final Fantasy 7. The Gameshark code that you need to put in to get the debug room is: 8009A05C 0041 With this debug room, you can access virtually any point in the game, adjust party members, gain a complete set of materia, watch a large set of CG movies, battle against inactive monsters, or even view the amount of love points among your party members. To enter this room, enter the code into your Gameshark and select "New Game" when the first FF7 cd loads up. Then deactivate your Gameshark and enter one of the 10 rooms by stepping onto one of the moving Japanese characters or by walking onto the top bar at the bottom or top of the screen. For screenshots of the debug room, go here: Thanks to The GIA, for this news bite. =) Thursday, August 5th FF Anthology News!

Here it is: This soundtrack is wonderful. Definatly one of Nobuo's best. It comes in a nice white box covered with cg clips from the game, with 4 cd's total. When you start the first disk, you start hearing Liberi Fatali. An excellent song that is fully orchestrated with lyrics by a choir in latin. only downside is that it's too short. The battle theme (Don't Be Afraid) is also excellent. One of FF's greatest battle themes. The overworld theme (Blue Fields) is also very good. It's nothing like FF6'a or FF7's overworld, but is good. Very interesting. The games boss theme (Force Your Way) is interesting. When just going through the disk you wouldn't notice it. The game over theme (The Loser) is one of the couple times you actually hear the prelude in the game. The prelude is never played by itself at any time in the soundtrack. Then The Man With the Machine Gun is a very dance/techno like battle theme. Very good beat with it. Then the next track (Julia) is a nice short piano solo of the games love theme (Eyes on Me), which is also very emotional and powerful with the singer Faye Wong. On disk 2, it has a track titled "FITHOS LUSEC WECOS VINOSEC", it is the lyrical song on this disk. Very good, and the lyrics are incredibly easy to remember... On disk 3 has a chocobo theme called "ODEKA ke Chocobo", and that is a very simple, short, song that sounds similar to just pushing buttons on a telephone. However, it has that same theme from the other FF's and is a very good version of it. And the disk ends with the track "Eyes On Me", which some don't like, while others love it as I do. Disk 4 is a excellent closer for the soundtrack. It starts with a very interesting rock-like version of a chocobo theme. The airship theme (Ride On) is very beautiful. May be the best airship theme yet. The final boss themes (Legendary Beast, Maybe I'm a Lion, and The Extreme) are perfect. And they are followed with "The Successor", which is another piano solo that is the beginning part of the ending. Then comes imediatly a 14 minute, orchestrated ending theme. It also has a wonderful version of "Eyes on Me" sung during it, and the FF main theme, and a slight version of the prelude again played by a single harp. The sound quality is near the best ever heard. It's definatly the best of any FF game. With Nobuo's FF7 quality disappointing, he sure learned the psx and came back with something wonderful. Not to mention the 3 excellent orchestrated songs. This soundtrack is definatly worth the money getting. It's a must get. - Mog EB Offering FF8 Maps! EB will give you a 24 inch x 24 inch map of the FF8 world if you give at least $10 when you preorder the game. Thanks to The GIA for this news bite.
