I really enjoy how much it feels like they recognize how much of FF7 was random-rear end minigames and they just leaned into it even more for the remakes. Like, I'm expecting the Sub Battle sequences to be like an underwater ace combat or something at this point

BisbyWorl posted:I wonder if Hard Mode will put some kind of restriction on fast travel. Since I find it odd how you have to use a cushion to use rest stop benches, but there's nothing stopping you from popping over to a normal bench somewhere else on the map and warping back to the rest stop after healing up. Fast travel makes hard mode awesome. Start chapter 2, do the few things in town, immediately travel to the farm, swamp, farm and swamp again. Boom, boss fight. Chapter 2 finished. If you follow the chapters, the only restriction is that you can't fast travel to a location that requires a story beat to unlock or a zone from a following chapter. I have done ch 1-5 storywise on hard mode, but I also loaded chapter 13 hard mode after resetting side quest data, and warped to each zone to do the side quests and special supermonsters for the folios. Start a side quest, fast travel, do a fight or two, side quest finished. Rest on chocobo stop bench to get mp back. No need to slowly climb mountains with a chocobo or do other traversal things if you already know where to go, and there are often fast travel points to your destinations. It's awesome. Btw, Red has different dialogue if you do his earlier side quests in ch 13 (or after ch 10). Pennfalath fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Mar 3, 2024 |

CapnAndy posted:Yeah, but why a tower specifically? It is always a tower. Parkour was such an important concept in the original Assassin's Creed games that a tower represented a small challenge and accomplishment (climbing the tower.) I'm almost certain everyone is copying that, and it's kept a tower because it just seems appropriately significant.

If you want to have that map mechanic, it's kinda just logically simple to use a tower as your contrivance for it. Whether it be by the character just looking around from high up, or it having some kind of radio equipment.

Still, I at least have Queen's Blood to be the game that at least makes a pretense of being sort of fair, so it's not terrible that Fort Condor is basically an exercise in overcoming the opponent's endless bullshit. hey now, that's not just any interdimensional warlock

I'm up to Costa Del Sol and having a blast, apart from Queen's Blood. I lost a few times without really knowing why and bounced off it, skipped it entirely on the cruise, and looked up the solutions for the later stuff. Is there a guide for idiots to understanding how it works? Or am I safe just continuing to ignore it?

Pro-tip for the Queen’s Blood matches on the ship (and maybe everywhere?): you can pause and reset the match/change your deck infinitely. Is it cheating? Kinda. Did it help me learn to play? Absolutely! My amateur advice is to use prebuilt deck One For All, then tweak it with cards you pick up.

Man this game has a scary way of monopolising my time. Just ran through Junon to early Costa in one sitting and there was just so much great stuff in this stretch. Very excited to see Infantry Unit 7 again in the return to Midgar next game, and glad to see afte all those interviews of the devs being surprised with how people liked Roche they've decided to just give him a big sequence here. Also, while the only thing kinda disappointing me is how the difficulty seems less tight than Remake, I just did Full Power Alex and that was a fantastic fight. Even if I kinda cheesed his ult through Phoenix (absolutely insane the game gives you reraise so early).

So I accept that maybe I’m just bad at the game but I don’t remember having nearly this much trouble with the first remake. Every battle feels like a huge contest - my aim party members seem like they do nothing and barely build ATB if I’m not directly controlling them, and when I DO directly control them, the enemy AI razor focuses whichever character I’m controlling and goes into a murderous rage, making using my support or caster characters…difficult. Am I missing something?

Much like Part 1 you're meant to switch often to build atb with everyone and when your support is getting swarmed you swap off them to draw aggro away before jumping back later. Or I guess now, using defensive synergy skills like bodyguard to have your tanks eat all the hits for you while you continue doing your own thing.

Enemies naturally focus whoever you're playing as, and whoever you're playing as builds ATB faster. Play as someone to build ATB, then when you feel swarmed, immediately switch to someone else to build their gauge instead and then switch again when you feel swarmed. Since Cloud is almost always in your party, but Barret starts every battle with Overcharge ready, a simple strategy is to start as Cloud with First Strike materia equipped, hit enemies just enough to do a Braver or Triple Slash, then immedately switch to Barret and overcharge to build ATB and then do something else. Aerith feels like the hardest to build ATB with, I dunno what the secret is there.

Aerith's atb is solved by doing her charge attack with Tifa, which not only generates a ton of gauge but deals a shocking amount of damage for something you can spam continuously at no cost.

I find Barret is good at gaining atb fast. Aerith gets it fast when she's shooting many things I think because he attacks split, but if you're using the charged attack it goes up way faster. My team is always Barret and Aerith because they're my favourites. I keep meaning to try Red and work out what he does. He blocks is my understanding from the tooltip I got.

I think the atb stagger materia is bugged and makes Tifa a ridiculous powerhouse. The moment an enemy gets staggered, she gets enough for an unbridled, which makes sense...but I think it also triggers on increasing the stagger bonus, because connecting with a triangle attack just re-ups the atb again. Paired with how much more powerful her triangle attacks are, this is just a feedback loop and I don't think an enemy or boss phase has survived that yet.

I think it’s a great system that sells one of FF7’s core elements - the relationships between the party members. But yeah there’s like a single quick tutorial screen that doesn’t do much to really emphasize that there’s more to synergies than the abilities you pick from the menu (many of which have high ATB cost, at least at first). I had to look up a guide that explained the R1 menu and how those skills work, and then it made a lot more sense (and was fun!). There should be a full on tutorial battle where they force you to interact with it. Maybe they just assumed people would have played Intergrade (which is apparently where the system debuted), but I never did so this game was my first time seeing it.

Yeah it took me a bit to understand the distinction between synergy skills and synergy abilities and not knowing how they worked made the Junon demo pretty tough for me. Now that I get it I'm just sailing through. Synergy skills are a game-changer. Red XIII is tough to use against flying enemies unless you control Cloud instead, in which case you can spam Howling Blast (or whatever it's called) to let both of them blast flying enemies and build ATB together. Then you can just tear poo poo up. Or Cloud's charge attacks with Tifa and Aerith, they both hit very hard, especially for something that builds ATB instead of spending it. Same for Tifa and Aerith's charge attack.
