I will try that.  Thanks! ;)

UPDATE:

FINALLY figured it out. Either you will all think I'm a real idiot or you will say "Hmmmm...who woulda thunk?"

I was having this save problem with all the RPG games I tried. Then last week I downloaded Aveyond 2 and when I tried to save I got an actual error message with a bunch of stuff I don't understand but ending with "time must be positive."

This led me to my computer's clock/calendar. Though my time and day/month were fine the year read 8002! I don't know why; I did have my computer worked on some time ago and perhaps it was changed at that time.

I fixed that and now all my RPG games save just fine, as they should.

This has opened up a new world for me. I would just start from the beginning every time, trying to get farther each time before I was killed. Now I can actually play the games through.

Thanks for all the help from everyone.

Have you tried reinstalling RPG Maker 2000? Or alternatively delete RPG Maker 2000, restart, install again and uninstall and reinstall both those games after you have done all that.

PLEASE HELP. I've asked everywhere, googled everything, and I can't find an answer.

In FFVII AND Final Fallacy I cannot get the save to work. It comes up as it should (and next to a crystal in Final Fallacy) but no matter what I do, what I type, what I try IT WON'T SAVE A GAME IN A FILE, though the files show up and highlight and everything.

:(

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ help.

The problem should be fixed now. Just run the setup.exe file after downloading the game. It worked when I tested it just now, so hopefully no-one will get any broken downloads anymore.

Alrighties, the archive on the site is indeed corrupt, sadly, but this will be fixed asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No word on the sequel that I've seen and since the homepage of the game has been down for quite some time, don't think we may see anything for awhile.

Yeah! Though not a part of the story, I'm sure I really understand :bleh:

Having finished the game now, I must say, what a neat little game, somewhat lacking in length, but great graphics and it does capture some of the atmosphere of the original.

The end credits mentions something about a sequel. Would anyone know, how far along the way this is, or if indeed it still is on the way?

Anyhoo, some time back a1s requested a quick run-down of FFVII, so here goes (Also helpful if someone wants to make sense of Advent Children):

MASSIVE SPOILER said:


Background:
When someone dies, their spirit energy, rather than vanish, 'return to the planet', to become one with the Lifestream, a mighty flow of spirit energy within the planet. The world-dominating Shinra Coorporation has found a way to tap into this energy and use it as a common power source. This is 'mako' energy.
Once upon a time a calamity, Jenova (Big Cosmic Baddie, intent on world-destruction) fell from the skyes. She was defeated, and Shinra, in one of those catastrophically ill-concieved plan, that make such great plots for games, decided to experiment with cells from Jenova and Mako energy on their elite military branch SOLDIER.
At the start of the game the ex-SOLDIER Cloud, is hired by the rebel group AVALANCHE (Members include Tifa and Barret). Sephiroth, the main villain of the game, also a former SOLDIER, makes his entry ín the game by killing off the board of SHINRA, leaving the President's son Rufus in power.
Sephiroth then abducts and slays Aerith in what ought to be one of the most surprising plot twists on a standard 'resque the damsel in distress' plot.
Sephiroth then decides to kill off the entire planet, which he intend to accomplish by summoning a giant meteor. After Cloud and his friends defeat Sephiroth, Aerith saves the planet by warding off the meteor with the Lifestream, she now is a part of.

Not a biggie. The question still remains though, whether anyone got the version of FFVII DC offered here to work.

And now i've encountered yet another problem. In the game I've just got to the bridge with the boat that's supposed to take me to Wu-Tai. When I tried to board the boat, I was teleported all the way back to Midgar. I also got to see the cut-scene with Heidegger and Zack again, only with Barret as the spectator instead of Cloud. Not that I object to all the Gil and XP another trip across the game world will net me, but has anyone else had this happening to them? Can I expect another teleportation, when I reach the bridge again? and can I do anything to avoid triggering this?
