Aerith is so funny. I can't get over how good all the characters are but they did Cloud, Aerith and Barret especially well. Cloud is such a goober. My partner watched him jump (Junon) off the dolphin and immediately said "he's such a loser". Perfect.

Rufus was already basically willing to let them go and deal with Sephiroth and they (fairly correct) decided that they want to avoid being in direct conflict with Shinra if they can at least until the literal world-ending threat is handled. Murdering Shinra's top scientist, no matter how justified, is what gets them moved from "Some wanted posters" to "Top priority."

Capfalcon posted:Honestly, I always thought the joke of his fights is that he's not anywhere in the same weight class as Cloud. Cloud can counter most of his attacks and odds are will have the fire materia to toast him. If you hit him with Assess it says he's a class 3-C SOLDIER. The dude is literally bottom of the barrel.

Supposedly in an interview they said that Roche is ranked the way he is because he exclusively takes missions that he can bring his motorcycle on. Like he is in fact a solid step above the other third classes you fight as mooks in the remake. Caidin fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Mar 4, 2024 |

Posting real quick to say game rules and is really quite funny. This is also just a Xenoblade game, they are strikingly similar in game design. The loving bit with (Chapter 6) Jules showing up and immediately giving me a traumatic stress response but it turns out his quest is to just clear a bunch of monsters NOPE DO CRUNCHES RIGHT NOW loving sent me for a loop. I found this one much easier though, at least. I have a pathological need to get all the rewards from mini-games and I'm terrified that THIS is the one that makes me vomit blood. So far so good though! I'm glad Tifa is just as fun (and strong) as FF7R1 because she's been glued to my player slot as much as possible. No one else even feels close to as satisfying to me. I just got Yuffie and I'm kind of lost as to what to do with her, though I am astounded she more or less brought her entire Intermission moveset with her. That's great!

Glad I’m not the only one who is getting strong Xenoblade vibes. And like those games, I will end up skipping over 40% of the side content because I’ll hit 80hrs and just want to be done with it already.

Also there was a moment where I had the entire party crammed into an elevator and I was marvelling everyone's pristine character models and thinking "wow these guys have really come a long way from their like 25 year old selves". And then they started bumping and colliding into each other for the duration of the elevator lol

so I just beat Crisis Core for the first time and started this game. I never played the rebirth demo or watched any trailers zomg, its Zack. oh i'm back to Cloud again  granted its still the beginning and tutorial stages, but man its hard to tell if I'm doing it right. things die after pressing some buttons and not sure if i'm using the mechanics right.

Yeah, Yuffie can do a *lot* and do it very well, she just doesn't quite excel as much as other characters in certain areas and she dies to a swift breeze She's easily the most reliable character in that you can bring her into any situation and she'll do great in it, and she has a lot of hidden utility. Between Blindside and Brumal Form she's functionally able to nosell all but the absolute worst situations and Blindside in particular is absolutely fantastic for some annoying gimmick fights.

Mostly I like how his planetarium show does not actually address the validity of whether or not Tifa saw or in fact got very up close and personal with a WEAPON, and his invitation to a seminar does not actually answer anything about her question as to whether or not Mako refinement and expenditure permanently removes it from the planetary system which I thought was actually an interesting inquiry. Also I am knee deep in spooky down in the Gi caves and I am awaiting the very good explanation for why this period and this method is the best time to address Red's dad issues.

Am I correct in thinking the amount of money from the Pedometer accessory isn't really worth it? 1 gil per 100 steps? Seems weirdly low. I guess there's no reason not to use it in situations where you know you won't be fighting. Also, I'm constantly capped on Planet Blessings and have no idea what to spend them on. Sage is a bottleneck for converting them to Favors. Edit: BTW how much harder is Dynamic difficulty than Normal? I haven't changed it yet because I still have trouble in some boss battles on Normal and feel like I'd probably lose on a higher difficulty.

Synergy skills kind of make the basic attacks meaningless. I'm just spamming magic blade with Cloud and Aerith. Two hits is basically 2 bars, it doesn't take that long to happen and it hits nearly as hard as braver with long range that can hit many things. Today's synergies are not quite as crazy but still a bit nuts. I like it, but it feels a bit weird having non stop ATB tier attacks available.

Careful though, this is a less-good plan against enemies that multi-hit.
