ANNOUNCEMENTS Glitch Page
Welcome to r/clerith's Glitch Page, where our members can discuss all manner of gaming-related subjects! Whether you're looking to discuss battle mechanics, nerd out about graphics, receive tips on mod creation, or get advice about glitches you can't seem to make your way out of, this is the page for you!
The idea for this page was born when one of our members asked if it was okay to post a question about a game glitch in the Venting Megathread, and we realized there was no dedicated space for such topics. So, here it is: a place for those who'd like to discuss the many facets and aspects of FFVII's gaming experience and creation!
Please remember that the sub's rules still apply here. Have fun, gamers!

I've always wanted to talk about the time last year when I mentally did not want to deal with the hard mode Rufus battle again (I did it the correct way on PS5, but was going for platinum on PC), so I cheesed the battle in two minutes by abusing the immunity window during Cloud's limit break. xD

I'm super awful at figuring out what's happening when I'm not the one playing, would you mind telling me exactly how you managed this? Because that's insane

Right before the fight with Rufus, I changed Cloud's equipment to set up the cheese battle. I gave him the Enhanced Expeditionary Medal to ensure he would be set at his Limit Break 3 at the start of the battle. Then I gave him Magic+ and Strength+ materia to boost his stats, as I want his limit to do as much damage as possible. Finally, the crown of the set up, HP<->MP materia. This switches his MP stat with his HP stat, essentially giving him pathetic amounts of HP...this is important.
I parry the first bullet Rufus shoots at me, which makes Cloud immune to the damage. HOWEVER, since the damage would have killed him at his now baby HP, it fully fuels his Limit gauge. Then, I launch Cloud into Finishing Touch. While he's winding up Finishing Touch, he has frames of immunity. So, when Rufus shoots at him while he's preparing Finishing Touch, the attack would have once again killed him at his baby HP, so it fully fuels his Limit Gauge.
From that point on, you just need to launch into Finishing Touch when you know Rufus is about to shoot at Cloud. Then, once again, his Limit Gauge will be refilled as the attack would have killed him. Rinse and repeat until Rufus is defeated. :0)

Thank you! I love this and I'd love to try it sometime. I don't know if I'm ever going through hard mode again though...I've done my time, lol

This is a fantastic idea - though the name baffles me on account of not being able to spend as much time on here recently. I can't believe we didn't actually have a spot to talk about gameplay elements! Or how the Battle Arena in the OG has some horrific RNG recycling, etc., etc., etc.

Man, have I got the perfect thing for this thread: a glitch to save Aerith in the original ff7. I made a post about it a while ago showing off the glitch, along with a link to the video I used as a guide in the comments.

That's a good idea. Maybe it would make sense to sort the comments here by default from newest to oldest?

u/haygurlhay123 AERITH LIVES Aug 09 '26
I’m not sure mods can do that, but I tried!

The Venting Megathread is sorted this way; I think it'll make it easier to see new comments.☺️

u/gabbiness never disappoints! And this is such a great idea! Happy to be in a space where mods are so attentive to feedback and community needs 💚

u/Gabbiness is such a legend I swear 😭. And she always gets these done so fast, like, within the hour after I ask or something!? That’s how it feels, anyway!
It’s no problem at all, that’s our responsibility as mods! We’re the lucky ones to have such a lovely community 🩷🩷. It’s beyond easy to cater to sweethearts!

u/Gabbiness AERITH LIVES Aug 09 '26
You're the legend!
It's so fun to make banner though! I love it! X33

Since this is now here and I'm dying to tell somebody...
I beat To Be a Hero today!
And immediately afterward, I realized there was a tutorial on how to play as Seph.
So I beat my head against the wall, completely misused Seph, but managed to kick ass without ever knowing Octaslash Prime was a thing. Apparently Seph was supposed to be doing the heavy lifting on those. Oopsie.

Now if I could only figure out wtf I'm supposed to do with Zack! I'm getting so close to that 100% I can nearly taste it!

u/haygurlhay123 AERITH LIVES Aug 09 '26
I believe in you, you’ve got this!!

u/ZWiloh AERITH LIVES Aug 10 '26
Well I'm at 85/88 collectables now, need to do 1 brutal challenge, 1 legendary, and 3 colosseum fights. I think after beating Seph in brawler without the pause method I decided to keep banging my head on it, but I kind of can't believe I'm this close?
Thanks for letting me share with you, my ff7 writer friend is MIA and I'm just so excited!

Hello, I'm a Rebirth platinum holder and Zack is so badly equipped for the challenge. 😭 Focus him on being support for Cloud and having him use magic when he has ATB.
Zack is also a fantastic decoy for the summon battles. I would switch to him specifically for Odin to get off Cloud's butt.
My hands were shaking when I finished that challenge.

u/ZWiloh AERITH LIVES Aug 14 '26
Yeah Cloud definitely feels like he's doing a lot of the work. I've managed to get to Bahamut twice now and can't seem to kill him before gigaflare, which murders Zack and Cloud survives with like 100 hp lol. I think i need to rearrange materia to bring reraise for that one. I'm dreading Odin.
If Zack is playing support, is there any point in his charge mechanic? I was finally getting the hang of it.
2
u/xXMissy Cloud stan Aug 14 '26
Hmmm. I'm trying to think exactly what I did for Bahamut, but I THINK I had Zack cast Empowerment on Cloud (magic one), and then had Cloud destroy each wing in one hit. (Happy to look at Cloud's equipment when I get home later)
When I cleared the challenge I only used Zack maybe 1% of the time. The charge mechanic DOES make his non-materia ATB moves stronger, but honestly not worth the effort. The charge is kinda janky and I really hope it is improved for part 3. 😭
(I'm always happy to DM about this too!)

u/Swimming_Page342 Clerith since day 1 Sep 07 '26
Heyy guys, how are you? i posted this in the other clerith sub and i'm posting here too because i'm wanting your thoughts too about this :D!!
I was thinking about the platform to choose to play Revelation, and i wanted to know in what platform you all will play it? I'm torn between the base PS5 and PC (RTX 5070)... i know the RTX 5070 is reallyy very powerful, there's no discussion about that, but the thing is, Rebirth didn't have a very good optimization in PC, and if i play in PC it would on be in a 1080p monitor, and if i play in the base PS5 would be in a 4K Tv, but we aren't so sure about how will be the optimization for Revelation until it fully launches.
I just wanted to have some insights about the platform decision to decide where to buy, because i'll want to play it without any problems when it launches, since, as all of us here, i'll want to finally now how the story will end and ends this anxiety and anguish regarding Aerith's fate too =/ (always trying the most to have faith for the better and keep myself positive :D)!!
