PancakeTransmission posted:I don't mind it, I think it's nice that it revamps it as compared to just "multiplies enemy HP by 3 and nerfs all materia" like some kind of dumb hard mode mod, but some of the bosses got tiring. They made some bosses have a specific strategy to kill and just mashing attack or using your strongest magic doesn't work which is really annoying. Some of the boss fights also took well over 5 minutes which is where I start to lose interest. I'm not talking "10 minutes of interesting strategy", more like "repeat the same rotation of attacks for 10 minutes straight" Yeah, same, I started using a trainer after an hour or so because fighting a boss for 20 minutes then dying to a random enemy because there's no way to save is a waste of time I don't need. I'm going to continue playing it because the added content is cool, and will try to not use the trainer all the time, but yeah I don't have time for the random Bullshit it throws at you

Regarding the New Threat Mod - question for anyone who found all the new secret bosses: The only one I found was One Winged Cait Sith who stomped my rear end into the dirt. What ends up happening with the spooky Monster guy who gives you class level ups? I made it to the Northern Crater and hit a brick wall in difficulty and quit there. do you end up fighting him? I did enjoy what I played quite a bit but yeah certain parts where a little overtuned. I had to fight the end of disc 1 Jenova form about 10 times before I got it. All the new content was cool

Turns out I got gifted FF7 on Steam who knows when  I might give that new threat mod a try too. e: alright my PS3 controller's mapping is really hosed, game doesn't detect dpad/L+R buttons. Should I just switch to keyboard or is there a good solution to this? Eraflure fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Jan 5, 2020 |

Big Bizness posted:Regarding the New Threat Mod - question for anyone who found all the new secret bosses: I never found anything extra with that guy, but I did notice that whenever I checked everyone's points, there was a ??? at the bottom. Maybe there's a secret character you have to use him to unlock? I couldn't find anything related to it in any of the documentation, but it was all super out of date anyway when I played it last month. I also found that the bonus bosses were overtuned, but my solution to that was to use a character with enormous amounts of Vitality (Barret) or Spirit (Cait Sith), and just let them be in charge of reviving/healing every two rounds. Just making sure to pick the appropriate one, which you can normally guess pretty easily. Barret had Vitality maxed out so physical damage that would do 2-4k damage to Cloud would only hit Barret for double digits. After that it became a case of just whittlin' away until inevitable victory. My fight against FF8 Omega Weapon took like 45 minutes. It was annoying, but I think I'd prefer just stacking big numbers/immunities over weird gimmicky guesswork bullshit. Eraflure posted:Turns out I got gifted FF7 on Steam who knows when I set buttons to L3/R3 instead of the triggers. I think it's more irritating that you can't use the dpad. Still haven't found a reliable way to get around that.

The dialogue leaks for the Shinra staircase climb, while removing Tifa’s “retard” comment, are still really funny. EG: Cloud: Shut up and move. Tifa: Still not there yet. Barret: Almost... Real close now! Cloud: Sure about that? Barret: It's called...bein' an optimist! Barret: This sucks! I wanna go back! Tifa: You want to go down all those stairs you just climbed? They’re really nailing the characterizations.

Sometimes, I love the internet. The theory I'm starting to see is that we'll get the demo on 2/7/20, because (F)riday, (F)ebruary (7). At least this theory seems plausible.

We were talking earlier about how underrated Jenova Absolute is. This is the single most underappreciated song in all of FFVII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oPqxoGzorI The other songs being overlooked is kinda understandable, you can kill Jenova SYNTHESIS in no time and with zero effort.But this is absolutely 100% in the top 10 best songs in all of FFVII. It plays at one of the most critical points in the game, a part that is truly unforgettable in how raw and genuine it is. FFVII gets mocked by some as "anime" or whatever but it had several points of pure genius and this was one of them. Finding Cloud in such a sorry state, seeing Tifa break down at the sight of her beloved being "alive" but only in the most pitiful way you can define that term, is powerful stuff. And this song - this song so exquisitely captures all the painful emotions of this unforgettable moment. Listening to it all these years later still makes me think of Cloud as a brain-destroyed vegetable unable to even hold his head up. I wonder how the remake will handle it in Part 4 in 2030.

Honestly, being completely serious, if they are actually able to preserve the atmosphere and feeling of that time spent finding and piecing together Cloud's fractured psyche it will be unironically one of the best points in modern video games if they ever even make it to that game.

Reading this thread it has been made obvious to me that most of the story in the original game went completely over my head. I kind of want to replay it, does the Switch version have the option to speed up the battles and summons cutscenes? Because I can't be doing with the default lengths of those in this day and age. Knights of the round

I’ve been replaying FF7 on iOS to reacquaint myself with it (since I haven’t actually played through it since release) and it is SHOCKING to me how much of it went over my head as a kid. It’s much, much better than I had remembered. The iOS port is just awful but, man, I’m having a great time and I feel like I’ll be 10x more appreciative of the new version having done this. I’d highly recommend that anyone who hasn’t played FF7 in a long time do the same. You have time before the release of the remake and I’m getting a lot out it.

The Ultimania book claimed that when Cloud and Tifa plunge into the Lifestream, Aeris steps in to create the dream-like location where Cloud's fractured memories can finally be pieced back together. As for whether she had a hand in Cloud's salvation in the actual game, your guess is as good as mine.
