Seems like a pity they don't have a hybrid graphics setting... give me the nicer looking 30fps stuff in cutscenes and photo mode and the Performance stuff for gameplay.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

And on thate note, God I wish photo mode was better. Let us properly free-move the camera anywhere we want, adjust character poses and equipment, and plop down extra light sources. I have so many good screenshots that could have been great ones.

It's kind of back and forth. If you don't want people to discuss stuff you might know might be better to save it for here.

Got to chapter 10 and am currently destroying myself trying to get a perfect score on the piano score there.

I do have a tip for people trying to get a perfect score on Glide de Chocobo 3- after the second-to-last 300 point ring, go back to the fans- you should have just enough height to get to them, and use the extra height to generate way more speed to get the last 5 rings. You get way more leeway for error doing it this way.

Edit: Seriously, why are the licks in Two Legs? so hard to goddamn execute. I'm getting stuck pretty consistently with 4 misses.

Surprisingly, no. I've done all side-stuff as it's come up, and I think I'm only like 3 or 4 levels above recommended for the critical story path, and maybe a level above for the initial recommended world intel stuff in chapter 10.

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
At the start of chapter 9, I backtracked to get 100% completion up to Corel, and I am loving my Cloud/Barret/Cait comp. Cait only has cure for green materia right now, I might add an elemental weapon combo when I get more slots.

Cait is a bit weird but I stuck an Auto-Unique Ability on him and it works great. Best plan I've found is to open with the bubbles by dodging and then mashing attack (sometimes holding square for the music blast works if you're right in it) until you can do Let's Ride. Get a few good combos in by holding attack when on your moogle and then just start controlling others. In like 30 seconds you'll have a great passive buff thanks to his unique ability evolution.

Anywho, Jules. Back in FF7R1, I came back after four months to platinum it and found myself right at the gym--I had apparently uninstalled in frustration. Probably going to happen in this game too, I got rank 2 but gently caress rank 3.

Cait gets natural ATB at start boots and a First Strike Materia basically assures he can start with Moogle out.

I swear I didn't have this much trouble with the squats/pullups in Remake, but this is beating my rear end. It's all about maintaining momentum and once you mess it up it takes so long to get back you're almost always better of restarting, it sucks

It's because those minigames used buttons meant for constant use. Haptic (the most worthless and useless feature in the industry) is meant for precision (if you want to call it that). It feels great to use on the murderues but not mashing or mid-holding while trying to keep up with an AI that doesn't make mistakes while it's doing 100 sit-ups a second.

My favorite so far is the puzzle level where it gives you a card you’ve never seen before that creates two cards.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Elena strikes the perfect balance between an eager newbie recruit and desperately trying to emulate Reno to make up for his absence.

Once you finish the game once you gain the ability to keep characters in their costumes 24/7

Weirdly though Red and Cait get their Gold Saucer costumes but not Cloud/Barret/Tifa/Aerith/Yuffie.
