Yeah she wasn't very well known as an actress, she's a youtube game streamer who only had like 100k followers before this game, which is really cool

People had certain expectations and Square didn't do anything to temper them (since they wanted to avoid spoilers). Some people will have spent money on the game having no interest in anything other than a straight retelling of the story. If I were them I'd probably be upset too.

I kinda hate kingdom Hearts because it's literally as complex as something like gravity's rainbow but all the complexity is in service of a story that's boring and bad, which is even more annoying because the gameplay is pretty good In this game, all the bullshit is propped up by awesome characters and an actual interesting story and world so it's great

KH is a trainwreck and it's not because they fly or slash any buildings in half. Flight, DBZ-esque scenery destruction, and pocket dimensions do not make something Kingdom Hearts. Okay enough KH talk.

People had certain expectations and Square didn't do anything to temper them (since they wanted to avoid spoilers). On one hand, I get your point, but on the other, people who have played FFVII OG and are aware of the EU stuff to any extent shouldn't have been surprised by some of that stuff making it into the remake. I only read The Kids Are Alright last year when it was finally translated into English and absolutely loved it that Kyrie and Leslie made it into the remake. I might be in the minority but I really want to see a lot of the EU stuff shown in future installments of the remake. As long as the main story stays the same (and why wouldn't it?) then Square Enix can give me as much extra poo poo as they want.

I didn't even know The Kids Are Alright was a thing or that it's available in stores as we speak, so I do wish they'd given us just a little bit of an intro for them instead of just kinda showing up and being fanservice for people who are heavy into the EU. It's by no means a deal-breaker for me, though; heck, now I've got some more reading material for my favorite game in the franchise!

I don't mind EU stuff as long as the characterization shown in the remake stays. I think the Flanderization of the key characters exhibited in EU stuff was fueling some of the mistrust leading up to release.

The problem with the EU was the characterization and they nailed it here, so I'm not worried. Unless we never get more games.

Oh was Kyrie a pre-existing character from EU stuff? I assumed she was yuffie in disguise Either way it didn't really stand out to me as too jarring to have her there even though I had no idea who she was. I feel like she had enough in-game characterization to stand alone as a minor side character, same for Leslie, more or less (although the game asked me to care about him slightly more than I could find the motivation to do so)

Ainsley McTree posted:Oh was Kyrie a pre-existing character from EU stuff? I assumed she was yuffie in disguise Her and Leslie are characters in one novel that a lot of people don't know about which was released a few years back but only translated to English and released officially in 2019. It's set after the events of FFVII but before Advent Children and it's pretty good.

I didn't know either were from the EU until this thread and thought they were fine. They're not really and different than the other added characters like Johnny. Leslie's reaction is still one of the best moments for when Cloud shows up in drag.

I think you learn her name if you go the Angel’s hideout first instead of the Church. Speaking of Kyrie she’s on the train at the end of Chapter 2 and you see her get off at the start of 3. If she’s in the Sector 7 slums somewhere I couldn’t find it though.

RatHat posted:I think you learn her name if you go the Angel’s hideout first instead of the Church. She is in Sector 7 the first night you arrive. You pass by her trying to "sell" news to people (like she does later in Sector 5) while Tifa takes Cloud to show him his new apartment. I don't think Cloud officially "notices" her until she's spouting BS news about Avalanche and Wutai in Chapter 14, but I don't recall if she ever says her name during that, for how Cloud would know her name without the benefit of subtitles.

I know its a mistake to read youtube comments, but LOL at the angry nerd in there who is pissed he cant afford the highest tier on her patreon. She's adorable though, and so excited to hear herself every time. I think its cute how she assumes they did something to her voice to make it sound good, rather than her just having been a good actress.

Though tbf a lot of mixing work goes into VA stuff so if you're only really used to hearing your voice recorded on a cheap streaming mic then having a multi-billion dollar company's audio team working their magic probably is a pretty wild difference.

I've been playing through on hard mode and one thing I noticed is another hint that Wutai are not the threat they're being presented as. Just before the Avalanche cells funded by "Wutai" go on an all out assault on the Shin-Ra building, Tseng gets a call from Rufus, who we know is actually funding them. I think that he was going to make his move that night anyway, which worked out for our heroes and will be revealed next game is my guess.

So someone did a massive effort post for a strategy for the VR summon gauntlet to get the cool accessory but I can't find it, would anyone mind reposting that or giving a rundown of advice? Been reading some of the strats but I trust random goons more than some of the guide writers who have really steered me wrong on this hard playthrough trying to get all the trophies. Also related, some of the guides are saying to have like 6 HP/MP Ups equipped, 2 of each on each character, I think I only have like 3 or 4 so is that from doing the same chapters where they are treasure a couple times and buying them wherever they are available? I didn't check the materia shops in my repeat hard playthrough of those chapters so I don't know if they're there again or not, if they are, can I just go into those chapters again, play up to the part where you can buy them and then dip out again back to the chapters I still need to beat? thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 23:38 on May 4, 2020 |

You can buy infinite of them in later chapters. I think 2 of each on each character is overkill in most places but if you don’t need any other materia for that chapter/encounter then you might as well.

Make sure you max out elemental materia. Get two of them. Use Aerith and Barret and Cloud. If you chain elemental and fire, the bahamut fight you will have free heals in the second phase. Get Steadfast Block, Revive, Healing, ATB Stagger, ATB assist, ATB boost. I finished it on the first try. The elemental + fire is what saved my life. EDIT: Make sure you have HP up as well. All three of my characters have over 9000 hp. You can buy them in the coliseum vending machines in Chapter 9, which is the best place to level materia up.

I have all of those latter ones maxed out and the rest I have in some capacity and can buy the rest. Will just have to do some levelling of my HP Ups and the elemental materias then, I think both my elemental ones are at level 2 right now but pretty far from 3.
