Let's Play "Final Fantasy VII" ECHO-S Mod: (Part 8) A New Threat to the Planet

Previous Part (07) - Current (08) - Next Part (09)

FFVII ECHO-S is a fan-made Mod that adds Full Voice Acting to Final Fantasy VII. It's part of 7th Heaven's Mod Pack which completely ovehauls the Final Fantasy VII experience. I wanted to play Modded FFVII for a while now, and I'm excited to play it with voice acting.

Shinra's New President

The party gets captured by Shinra's Turks and got sent to jail. After a while, they found the door to the jail unlocked, and find a blood trail in the shinra's building. Following the trail they find Shinra's president stabbed by Sephiroth's sword. The president's son Rufus becomes the new president, and the party escapes from Midgar.

One of my Top 3 scenes of Midgar is Cloud's fight with Rufus. The ECHO-S Mod voice actors did a great job for the scene.

At this point, I noticed that Materia equipped to characters who leave the party is unequipped from them. I don't remember if the original Final Fantasy VII had this feature, or if it's one of the Mods I installed that added it, but either way, it's very useful!

I like the driving mini-game while leaving Midgar. I believe some people are clearing it without taking any damage, but I'm not that good in the game. Haha.

What do you think?

Now we have finished the Midgar section of Final Fantasy VII, and the world map has finally opened to us. The real game has just begun!

Thanks for watching~ and see you in the next part!!
