I just spent a couple of hours wandering around grasslands doing everything. I like the chill experience of gradually unlocking stuff and now I have a new enemy skill that shoots lightning bolts and man the combat is fun Love beck’s idiot crew. Man this is a feel good game (I assume until some of the later story beats kick in if they still do)

I’m at like 45 hours and just hit Gold Saucer and the mini games are taking like a full 2 points off my score for this game. There’s just so many of them and they gate upgrades and gear behind them. I don’t want to play Mario Party. What the gently caress is this. Every mini game except Queen’s Blood, which rules, is terrible.

I didn't get to do the full Kyrie mission in the grasslands because I think I had already gone to Junon, or possibly beyond, and Kyrie had canonically moved on. So I met a stuffed moogle and listened to a tape recording, and I did the collecting poo poo part of the mission, but I didn't hear her banger theme song until later.

Dodge the lethal claw swipes and then pour into one of the Death Claws when they are pressured. Kid G was annoying for melee, so I just nuked him down with some ranged attacks and magic. I tried not to melee him unless I had an opening or as a last resort.

I think the one time a party member got hit by the swipes, the two other enemies were on the other side of the map so I was able to heal them up without anyone dying. RNG on your party successfully dodging!  e: idk if some of the materia that fills your ATB to start the battle would be helpful. To nuke down the Death Claws asap. Or try hasting everyone with Red XIII so they move faster. e2: one of the wards, I think Radiant, makes Aerith immune to phys damage while she's casting a spell. idk if this affects Lethal Swipes or not.

When is it good to use Chi Trap with Tifa? Not sure what niche that ability is meant to fill. Also, I have no loving clue how to successfully dodge things with Yuffie's Brumal Form. I've tried it a lot, and it literally never works for me. Either it's too early and she reappears to get hit, or it's too late.

Jimbot posted:They're shown to fly around him and his surroundings shift from a battle to nothing going on. Actually, it's kind of weird that in Remake all the whispers are just hovering above all of the Avalanche members (and Wedge in Rebirth) before they scatter as you get close. I wonder if that means something. I'm mainly thinking of the scene at the end of Remake where Sephiroth has to cut through the "wall" of whispers. It seems like, if he had any sort of control over them at that point, he wouldn't need to do that. I think them hovering around the Avalanche members is just supposed to be "them keeping an eye on things to make sure they don't need to step in to maintain the events of the original timeline." Blockhouse posted:Smaller pressured enemies get trapped and juggled in it for the duration Ah, I didn't realize it scaled off magic (or that enemies being pressured made them more susceptible to things like juggling - I thought it just made them stagger faster).

Harrow posted:Hm, perhaps I don't need to get all the enemy skills. Perhaps this mindflayer combat trial just isn't worth it. I used Aerith to sleep them and gave her the plus duration stuff (idk if this was necessary), then used everything Barret and Cloud have to batter the poo poo out of the mindflayer and stagger it, then dumped 6ATB worth of attacks on its head. I also gave Cloud the thing to steal limit gauge from other characters and ended up using a limit when the thing wasn't stagger out of desperation, and it got it done.

I can’t Google this without risking spoilers. Is there a gimmick or something I’m missing when controlling Aerith in combat? Getting a Ward out is fairly slow — from there I still have to wait for her to get a bar to make use of the second spell. The primary problem I’m facing is that she gets knocked out very easily. Is this the correct strategy? If you’re controlling Aerith to raise their ATB bar use synergy defense and hold block and from there leverage their ATB bar while controlling another character so they don’t pull aggro?

JackDarko posted:I can’t Google this without risking spoilers. Is there a gimmick or something I’m missing when controlling Aerith in combat? Do spell blade twice with Cloud and they will both have 2 bars. Cast a ward on someone else and start blasting. When the enemies look at you and come over press triangle to teleport to the ward and unleash incredible amounts of magical bullshit. E: the synergy blocks and stuff are decent but it's way easier to plan ahead and press triangle after using synergy skills with other characters to get her two bars. Once you have a few weapons on her you get an attacking ward in addition to the spell ward. This will let her build ATB as fast as anyone else and also shits damage off her normal attacks.

My brain just isn’t built for this sort of combat depth, this is brilliant and not one piece of it would have occurred to me lol I basically don’t use Aerith for all the same reasons as the person you’re replying to

Your gameplan with Aerith is to earn enough ATB to be able to pop Luminous Ward, which becomes available around Chapter 4 I think? Some Materia, equipment, and folios will let her start with enough ATB to just do it at the start of battle. With Luminous Ward up, her attacks and dodge improve, and she becomes harder to interrupt while casting spells. She also builds ATB way faster. You can stack an Arcane Ward on top so she's constantly casting doubled up versions of spells. The Bodyguard synergy skill will retarget enemy aggro to your partner for a short period of time to allow you to run when enemies get close. Lead them away from your wards, then Ward Shift back into the wards and continue nuking everything.

I love her playstyle it's all big brain, flashy wizard poo poo.

Can’t say Aerith is my favorite but one thing she has going for her is she has really potent out of stagger damage on anything with an elemental weakness to exploit. It’s pretty easy for -ga spells to ram the damage cap when she uses them

Thank you so so much! It makes total sense that the Ward should be casted on an ally that way I can bounce to it. I’ve been foolishly casting it on Aerith which defeats the purpose. I had a feeling synergy was the answer but tunnel visioned on using it as Aerith it makes complete sense to use someone else instead paired with her to boost her gauge. That’s exciting to hear about Luminous Ward as well, I haven’t gotten it yet and now I’m looking forward to it. I had a feeling I was the problem and I’m glad that was the case.

Harrow posted:Hm, perhaps I don't need to get all the enemy skills. Perhaps this mindflayer combat trial just isn't worth it. The thing that ended up succeeding for me was heavily equipping Cloud and Tifa with materia that allowed them to quickly generate ATB (First Strike, ATB Boost, ATB Stagger). I then used enough ATBs to do a Synergy skill, which pressures it long enough to stagger it. I was then fortunately able to do enough damage to kill it in time. I can't remember if I slept the other mobs or not during that run. I don't think sleeping them was important to my successful run, though, and I experienced a ton of frustration with the mobs I slept just getting awoken again. The sad thing about the Mindflayer trial is that the reward you get from it is really cool. It's basically this gently caress-off blast that you can use once each fight for 2 ATB.

What's with so many of the arena fights having the exact same opponents? Oh look it's Quetzalcoatl, King Zu, Great Malboro and Jabberwock, again! Sometimes they throw in Mindflayer for... something resembling variety, I guess? Given that there's already another entire colosseum in the game I'm kinda surprised they didn't bring back the original Battle Square thing, slot machine and all, to differentiate the one in the Saucer from the other.

I wish FF16 had some of this game's budget kicked into it because this game's open world stuff is Too Much and FF16 had Not Enough (lol at those random FF16 treasures for 2 gil) and a middle ground would be Just Right. And I've only just reached Cosmo Canyon and done the first Chocobo Glide! Also goddamn this Distant Tremors fight is rear end. Head Case was OK after a few retries because the actual strategy is simple: Magnify Sleep, then go nuts on the Mindflayer. Tremors needs you to micromanage your ATB carefully for the first fight to avoid everyone getting Earthbound, gives you a semi-breather, then hits you with the double Malceros where your party's AI dodging is inadequate because of the huge damage level they put out.
