kinda but you have to go out of your way a bit to unlock him, so it's more of a choice than the game responding to how much extra poo poo you did

yeah sephiroth gets more health or something if you have certain things or have beaten certain weapons or something like that. (i think the final jenova fight does too?)

you just wouldn't have noticed because if you're that far in you can kill him with four attacks or less anyway

one of the things is each level 99 character adding a ton of stats so if you cheated to get max level you got slammed by a ridiculously strong sephiroth

i remember homeworld scaled how big the enemy fleets were based on the size of your own so if you diligently captured and resource mined everything you'd start running up against insurmountable odds as compared to just keeping your fleet minimal

I know I played a game where a boss or somesuch made copies of the party with the same abilities and if you didn't intentionally nerf your party it would be a veeeeery hard fight. Maybe Wild Arms 3?
wild arms 4 has a boss that creates shadow clones of your characters, and if anyone other than that character attacks their clone, the party member takes the same amount of damage

it wasn't that difficult though, WA4 in general was pretty easy once you get over the starting hump

Does the FF7 remake have that whistling teakettle noise when you cast magic like in the original? It’s a pretty cool noise

There's only one driving focused section at the end of the game and it's an awesome chase against a giant loving drill machine that feels like you're running away from a graboid. I think there's only three Riddler races total and they're pretty straightforward.

As for everything else the Batmobile is a bulldozer and it's surprising how many obstacles you can just crash through. Use the tank mode as a drift/sudden stop for tight turns. Upgrade the launcher and turn Batman into superman as you spring a mile in the air, moving is so much fun I'll just cross the entirety of Gotham never touching the ground.

Well, that sounds sufficiently kickass enough to power through the weird driving as it is.

it's both, but also if you want it's got a wait mode like FFXV did (though it seems like it'll work better with what this is doing)

like by default you build up an atb bar in realtime with basic combos and then when you have a bar you can open the menu where the game slows way down and lets you choose your special stuff.

but also you can map those menu things to shortcuts like kingdom hearts so that you don't have to pause.

Its super changed. That said, its a hybrid of 15 action combat with menus for some things, seems promising.

Really I'm more impressed by the Riddler who has built city-sized infrastructure unknown to literally everyone but I guess that has always been his shtick since the awesome minotaur maze episode of Batman animated.

in addition to what everyone else said, characters also have action gimmicks beyond just "repeatedly slash thing" or "repeatedly shoot thing" that are assigned to the triangle button

cloud's default is Operator (which is his classic forward-grip stance) that's used for raw damage or area control, since it comes with a massive sweep attack meant for hitting multiple enemies. triangle changes his stance to Punisher (sephiroth's over-the-shoulder grip, which is a nice touch) which slows his movement speed to a crawl but pours huge damage on single targets and also auto-counters any melee attacks he successfully guards. he can be knocked out of Punisher, though, so you can't just blitz through attacks and hope for the best

barret's more straightforward, his triangle command is basically a special shot volley that "loads" his filled ATB bars for extra damage and can then be mashed to reduce his cooldown for the next shot. the special also auto-tracks, which is helpful - i had one barrage kill a thing and then immediately change over to the nearest living thing mid-barrage

I'm the quick and the deadly
I finished up AI: the Somnuim Chronicles last night and drat what a good game.

I thought I was going to be bored by the ending cause I already figured out what was going on when I unlocked the second to last lock but the ending was still excellent and unexpected.

I didn't hate ZTD but AI blows it out of the water completely, Uchikoshi writes a lot better when it's a standalone experience.

Play the original FF7 because people still don't seem to know that the game is episode-based so the series won't be finished for like another 7+ years at LEAST

i'm not interested in how the original stands on its own. i'm sure it's fine.

the fact that the remake is so different is what interests me. to see if they can bring forward whatever it is people love about the original so much and present it in a way that is appealing to a modern gamer, visually and gameplay-wise.

I've resigned that I have to go into FF7R as its own thing right after seeing the little aside that Shinra has a "blow up reactor to blame the rebels" button on his phone. Part of the original's strong setting is how gross and lonely everything is. Like you blow up the reactor and the streets are eerily empty like nobody cares what's going on and sht.
