Following on from Doppelgangers post . I have my own set of achievement wish lists. #1 Final Fantasy VII (PS1): 1000GP Fucking RIGHT I got 1000 points: I spent so long on this game, getting some of the harder "achievements" - 'Everyone' at lvl 99 - Obtained Yuffie and Vincent - All Ultimate Weapons - Omni-slash obtained. - Aeris's final limit break. - Bred a Gold Chocobo - Master Summon, Magic and Support Materia's - Ruby Weapon Defeated - Emerald Weapon Defeated #2 Super Mario World (SNES): 1000 GP Yeah entirely completed, 96 exits located.
