The game is definitely horny and it’s really funny. The only way it could have been better would be sticking Cloud in a hot tub full of muscly, naked men.

Completed the Yuffie DLC: Sonon died as he lived: like a chump

Now trying to rush through Crisis Core. Is there a list of missions with unlocks (I think the game outright tells you which missions unlock summons at least)? I have the item material fusion and the third accessory slot.

Spoiler thread contains spoilers from the full game due to leaks, it is not a place to visit unless you want to see that

Mail in "useful tips" should have the info on exact missions that unlock particular content. Only ones you might have to look up are the accessory slots and how you get the magic pot dmw.

If you're looking to blitz the game, though, you don't need to do a whole lot to become overpowered for the story path.

While I'm at it having finished CC recently I feel like the ending is the only good part of the story and I just forgot how the rest of it is kinda meh

Demo update is out

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
Performance mode looks.... worse somehow. I thought they were gonna give it a sharpening filter or update the resolution or whatever, but it's even blurrier than it was before. I feel like they made a mistake or launched the wrong in-house development version of the game or something.

edit: oof, I saw this on another site. If viewed at full screen, you can literally count the pixels in some areas, especially Cloud's face

Game is updated but I'll load it up in a bit.

The review embargo is up in just over 24 hours and then it's time to start being extremely cautious about spoilers cause I'm sure one of the idiot reviewers will say way too much.

I don't think they fixed the flying enemies issue. Tifa was happy to just endlessly do ground combos while the enemy was flying above her.

Think I’ll not play this open world section, I’d rather do it in the full game rather than have to go through any of it again.

But yeah the performance mode still looks bad even with this update that supposedly fixed it.

Just putting it out there that it's not very long of a demo. I don't think you're gonna take ages catching up in it

E: Finished it but I'll pop back into it to figure out some battle stuff.
Some thing I don't like
- Crafting is whatever but the overworld movement make picking up stuff finicky, just have materials pick up on proximity.
- There is a ladder that produces the strongest ghosting I've seen in a game and only for that ladder.
- If I want to retry a battle just start it up, you don't need to move me away from the area and start playing the audio log.
- Flying enemies don't feel great to fight if you're playing Red or Tifa.

For Tifa you want to use Synergy Skills. Cloud can throw her up and from there she can air combo forever

Took a couple comparison screenshots. The difference is extremely obvious when you compare them side by side as there's some kind of blurring/smearing going on in performance mode.

Playing through again and it's still wild how much they made me like Yuffie. Just this perfect blend of super in over her head and faking it till she makes it but also with a core of competency?

Although whenever she eats one of those jawbreakers my teeth hurt.

Thanks that's a lot better. After playing a but with Red he's not gonna be doing ariel combat on command but using counter and sentinel stance on flyers.

Yeah, Red's big gimmick is that he's a tank. You want to be just-defending or tanking attacks with him, though Stardust Ray will absolutely gently caress up a flyer's (and everything around the flyer's) day. Some magic materia can also get results since he builds ATB really fast and magic don't care if you're flying.

They added some content to the FFVIIR crossover event in Ever Crisis and it now contains a bunch of cutscenes from Rebirth that haven’t been shown yet which was a weird choice. Most notably a scene with the Midgar Zolom and in the Mythril Mine with Elena and Rude. I don’t have the sound on so I’m not sure if they had voice acting but I’m just confused as to why they would include content that isn’t even in the demo.

Okay, so I didn't play the first demo, but I have both of them downloaded now. I presume I have to play the earlier demo first and then the one that came out today will show up in the main menu?

Cloud didn't have it in the demo. Red now has a sorta similar, weaker ability called Vengeance Stance as well as the ability to counter attack right after blocking.

Bonus info: Red's area attack lets you move while he spins and he moves pretty drat fast during it. When in Vengance mode it does additional slashes after
