Oxxidation posted:jules is the rock upon which lesser men are broken I'm not even sure that there's anything to really figure out there, it just seems to require a super precise input that my shaky old man hands are no longer capable of. Doesn't help that you get no feedback at all on what you did wrong (too soft/too hard/released pressure while holding?), especially if you disable adaptive triggers which seems kind of mandatory to go fast enough.

What do the 3 objectives for the variant fights actually affect? Chadley bucks, EXP, map completion?

I think it's just Party EXP? You get completion and Chadmoney just for beating it.

Are there any quests where you get to fight Chadley? Maybe Square saves that for part 3.

I said come in! posted:Are there any quests where you get to fight Chadley? Maybe Square saves that for part 3. There's a non-zero chance that the biological components of Chadley are some Sephiroth 2.0 poo poo, this is Hojo we're talking about. Now add onto that whatever the gently caress cybernetics he has, which we know for a fact include the ability to read minds. e: really the fact he can just casually read Cloud's internal monologue should have freaked him out WAY more than it did

Skeezy posted:I love the game but I think they added a bazillion minigames to pad the game out because it has to be at minimum 40 hours to be worth it as a JRPG. I think I prefer the mini games to the random battle padding in the original JRPGs. You'd probably be able to finish each of the psx Final Fantasies in just a few hours if you only had to mainly do the fights along the critical path (with adjusted leveling). Edit: I also like to think that doing all of the side stuff is in canon and some low level trolling of Sephiroth who clearly wants Cloud to go somewhere.

Finally beat Fort Condor on dynamic difficulty after giving it a break for a bit. The only way I found it possible to kill the captain in time was by rushing forward as fast as possible and planting trebuchets in front of him. I would then spam clerics and base level units around the trebuchets and place my heroes down whenever they started to get overwhelmed. Even then, despite having trebuchets blasting the captain for almost a minute I barely killed him with under ten seconds left. I have no idea how anyone could kill him in time without the trebuchets.

Trebuchets were my mvp for that fight too, you can also plant them around the two chokepoints and they'll take out the enemy spawners handily before your units can get close.

Thundarr posted:Looking forward to creating and destroying Bizarro Chadley in part 3. I mean, we're probably not gonna have to deal with an evil super-Chadley? He seems more well-balanced that Sephiroth ever was (if still a deeply weird little fella), probably because he knew from the start that he was an engineered lab experiment rather than finding it out suddenly at like age 40 and having a total breakdown over it. Of course, this also made him want to get out from under Shinra's thumb way earlier than Sephiroth did, but at least he didn't torch a village over it. Now the fact that he's already making more sapient AIs that he can only barely control is a bit... concerning in the long term, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Chapter 10? spoilers: The entire time I've been playing, I've been waiting for a rugpull where poo poo very explicitly deviates from the original, and when Tifa fell into the reactor, for a solid minute I was prepared for that to be it for her

Kin posted:Welp just learned the hard way that the checkpoints are garbage in the open world. This kind of happened to me in the grasslands. Though as soon I saw I lost 40 minutes progress I closed the game down, choose continue, and it loaded a more recent auto save I guess? Really unsure how the save system works.

Of course, this also made him want to get out from under Shinra's thumb way earlier than Sephiroth did, but at least he didn't torch a village over it. Sephiroth is actually only 25, 4 years older then Cloud. He started SOLDERing at 13, which is the same age Cloud joined up with Shinra at and he confirms it's nothing unusual. There is a rising and concerning chance that a lot of those Shrina grunts you mow down aren't actually old enough to have a learners permit.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:The auto saves are fine, checkpoints make zero sense Sigh, so there's manual saves, auto saves and checkpoints. Though loading the last checkpoint doesn't load the last auto save. Dumb. Anyway, can you max out the folio thing for each character (I.e. select all orbs) or do you ultimately have to tweak your configuration even at the end of the game?

I think it's possible, but like Remake only including Hard Mode adding more SP books to acquire postgame. Up through the credits you'll be picking and choosing.

Kin posted:Sigh, so there's manual saves, auto saves and checkpoints. Yeah I’m only on folio level 4 but it seems like the mechanic is just a Number Go Up thing (with an occasional new skill) and doesn’t seem to offer any real choice or customization in the long run. Maybe at the higher folio levels there’s more interesting things to do with the mechanic.

The Folio feels bad because your probably gonna beeline the synergy skills and and the zero MP abilities and then it's like... here's 3 levels and 2 skill books worth of SP spent on +3% basic attack damage and Tifa's unbridled strength stacks last even longer if you were somehow timing them out.

Lmao why is the Colosseum in Golden Saucer such an absurd difficulty jump over any fight up till now? I can't even beat the first round of the first fight because all the enemies just insta-gib me as soon as the fight starts.

I can't even beat the first round of the first fight because all the enemies just insta-gib me as soon as the fight starts. Yeah that did feel mistuned. I came back like two zones later and it was fine (it's also more reasonable when you can choose two party members good at immediately blowing up the flying guys)
