If you go into punisher mode and just hold guard, Cloud will automatically parry and riposte any physical attack. Poor doggies enter stagger immediately (on classic, so on easy. Need to test it on normal). I forgot to do this to the shock troopers at the end, so Ill give it a try tonight.

I'm not sure it was confirmed, but it was heavily implied that Episode 1 is going to be Midgar.

When you get to the end of midgar in the original, it really does feel like an ending.

There’s some footage that looks like its from Junion, so they might go as far as the first Jenova boss

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
The environment outside is more like Advent Children's desert than the green of FF7 listening to previewers speaking about what they saw (and were permitted to speak about) so it ought to be a to-be-wrecked part of Midgar.

Are there any indications that you get something for completing the demo? The positive reactions of people in the thread are good enough to put my mind at ease, so I was going to skip the demo and just wait for the full release so that I can play from start to finish. But I don't usually pass up clear bonuses if they are available.

Isn't the new mod launcher for FF7 PC supposed to be launching tomorrow that is supposedly going to make modding the game a million times better?

I read somewhere you get a PS4 theme when the game comes out if you played the demo. I'm not sure, though.

Eh, that wouldn't be incentive if that's what it is. I already have the FFVII dynamic theme with the music and sound effects. Unless a new theme tops that then I'm not particularly interested. Good to know though, thanks.

Yeah, according to reddit, you'll get a dynamic theme.

Also, there are apparently Moogle Medals you can find, and finding them all unlocks the Deep Dive - Final Fantasy VII Remake movie.

How do you get the FFVII dynamic theme with the music and sound effects?

Edit: Is that the one for buying the original FF7 for the PS4?

Jenova deff will be in some capacity but I was misremembering something from a trailer and thinking it was the Bottomswell fight just before Junion but I think it was Leviathan

Yes. I'm talking about the Midgar theme from 2016.

The only other theme I've seen that I would replace it with would be the Tifa theme, but I think that's limited only to the US. I haven't seen any Crunch bars on display with advertising or anything on them. I really want that one, because I love Tifa, but I don't think I can get any codes here in Canada.

We've seen several summons right? I'm pretty sure I've spotted Shiva. That would indicate that summons will be in Midgar, and not spread out like in FF7. The Chocobos at the farm better still do a dance though.

Just finished the demo, pretty solid overall. The combat is a bit too 'busy' for my taste, though. Not helped by controls feeling a bit sluggish either.

Jessie will be just fine in this game. I'm betting she doesn't die.

In an episodic game, killing her would be a big deal after giving her more development and would significantly diminish the 'surprise' of Aeris's death in later episodes.

It's better, but I kept accidentally opening the command menu and the triangle modes feel weird. Not sure about the effectiveness of dodging. Could just take a few hours to get used to. I want to go back and try classic mode but it sucks that it's pegged to easy difficulty.
