Gothic 2.. bought this yesterday.. damn hard and annoying, but playable.... i can't run Oblivion and such game on my crappy comp, so i have to settle with this till i get my ps3 someday in a distant future.
other than that, i'm almost through FF7, beating both Ruby and that waterweapon thingy.. Ruby tactic to win easily- (KoTR)=(absorb energy) and Mime... kill the two other in the party ofcourse, and viola, you can keep casting KoTR for free while restoring your HP fully
With the waterweapon thingy i "only" need to level my KoTR, Final Attack, Phoenix up a level or two.
Fight the magic pots in the final dungeon and use the w-item trick to obtain lots of elixirs for an easier materia level up

ah... without reading your post, that was actually what i did yesterday

... But actually, i did level my KoTR up to third level, but never got to use them. I used three mimes, a w-summon and KoTR linked to hp-absorb, plus some magic+, hp+ and some mp+ just in case. So... i beat the crap out of Emerald Weapon

no problem at all, Cloud and Berret only managed to "cast" the two KoTR twice before the battle was over, meaning the battle only took two rounds, and Emerald never had the chance to kill me once. So i actually wasted my time getting the Final Attack support materia.
other than that, my cloud is a killing machine, with 4xCut, Cover100%, six counterattacks, ultima weapon and level 83, meaning whenever somebody attacks he takes the damage and slashes the enemies 6 times dealing 9999 of damage each time. Sure i could make a counterattack with KoRT, but that would take too long.
Only played the game for 41 hours total
next time, i won't do this, cuz it makes the final battle kinda boring. I didn't use KoRT or any other summon, nor the 4xCut in the final battle, of course, else it would have been won i a minute.

don't worry, u didn't... i have read all there is to read about FF7 several times since i got the game 7 years ago. But it's the first time i actually did beat Ruby and Emerald and got the master materia.
