I loving hate the boss rush in chapter 12. gently caress Rufus Shinra and his loving dog. I've died half a dozen times and had to quit for the night so I get to loving fight the turks again tomorrow now. Yay.

Can Cait Sith and Aerith enjoyers post the equipment and materia they're using to have them be such good damage dealers please? Because I'm following the instructions people are posting for abilities to use and combat advice but they're still doing like next to no damage compared to Yuffie who rips through everything. Edit: also how the heck you keep them alive when they're both made of glass compared to Barret's crazy defense or Yuffie the dodge queen?

Aerith for me was this order in fights Radiant ward for atb generation. Arcane ward for damage or stagger. If it's a multi trash mob fight chrono aegis or sorcerial storm works great. Large mobs you can change. Large mobs I just threw out a fully charged attack for atb and the familiar then put out the wards. Materia was basically all the dual element magic and comet with synergy or auto cast on them. Precision defense is great too if you've being trying to use it. Then whatever stat up ones you wanna add like magic n speed. When using bodyguard synergy, remember to book it or ward warp cause it may swap aggro being right beside the person tanking is just gonna get you slammed. This game needs a training dummy mode.

The best way to get ATB for Aerith at the start of a fight is spell blade on Cloud. Her magic attack is so far beyond the other characters that if you cast spells on arcane ward you'll do limit break damage. If you don't want to get hurt just press triangle and leave. Don't sit on her playing the game. Use synergy skills to get ATB, switch and drop the hammer, then switch. She's a black mage (or white mage I guess but I would waste her on healing), not a fighter, and should be used to instantly dumpster enemies rather than duke it out with them.

There are so many good little cute touches in this game. My favorite so far is (Gold Saucer spoiler) the Test 0 enemy in the Dustbowl coliseum at the bottom of the well. Really cute nod to this debug enemy that got left in as an encounter in the same spot in the initial JP release of the PS1 original

I restarted one fight repeatedly to try and make the dialogue somewhat audible by changing settings, but it's basically impossible. This wasn't an issue in remake so I don't know how they hosed up so badly in this one. I also tried playing with my headphones on and it was kind of better, but still overall terrible.

Apparently it was already an issue in the PS5 version of Remake but not the PS4 one so I wonder if they hosed ip the 3D audio somehow. Didn't notice it for a while since I was playing in JP with subs anyway but it seems to have gotten worse as the game goes on lol.

It completely ruins the chapter 12 arena battles because the best part of wall market arena was the commentary. Skotch and Kotch are doing the same great calls of the fight, but you can't hear poo poo from them no matter how much you gently caress with the mix. You basically have to open the menu to hear their dialogue. Like I can deal with the music absolutely blaring over two characters conversing during a sidequest. I just read the subtitles and deal with it, but for a scene where there is dialogue that is meant to complement the action and reading subs isn't viable, it's a 0/10 for audio because it actively makes the segment suck.

Turn up the centre channel on your soundbar/surround setup and if you’re not using either of those things then I guess you’re SOL.

I don't know how hard this is but shouldn't surround when outputting to stereo just like, split the difference? It's prob hard because even streaming movies from my desktop to my tv and if they have more than two channels it doesn't sound right

It makes no sense to me to be because it seems like spamming square always seems to do more damage and all those abilities are sluggish and/or end up putting two characters together so they both get hit instead of just one. Someone please explain to me when/how I am supposed to use it. Sometimes I get synergy actions charged up but those are like once per boss battle. Edit: Am I supposed to be blocking? I basically only dodge and that's been working fine for me.

Synergy actions run off the little blue pips under each character’s ATB meter. You fill the pips by spending ATB on that character and if you’re cycling through characters regularly like the game intends you’ll have plenty of synergy available.

Even if you don't use most of the synergy skills, Cloud + Aerith is a no brainer because it's so easy to use for so much return. Just hold the button down a few seconds and let it go for massive damage and a huge ATB boost for both of them. Heck sometimes that alone kills half the enemies in a fight. The only time it doesn't work is if the targets have the zoomies, which just means you do something to get them to hold still first.

Any of the charged attack synergy skills will hit like a truck. Cloud has magical ones with Aerith and Yuffie and physical ones with Tifa and Cait Sith. Yuffie can also do magical ranged charged attacks with Aerith and I think Red XIII (if I remember correctly) that also change element based on her active ninjutsu and hit like a level-2 elemental spell for no ATB or MP.

Counterfire can be used while in punisher mode meaning you can parry both melee and ranged attacks. You can ignore the synergy system but it's a lotta damage and utility you miss out on if you're at least not using the synergy abilities.

It is very strange to me the things that this game painfully emphasizes and provides repeated guidance for (Chadley explaining that I need to find X each and every time in every zone) are all the obvious stuff while systems that are very unintuitive like synergy you get one single pop-up at the beginning of the game when you barely have anything unlocked at all and then you're on your own. It probably hasn't helped me that Yuffie is so OP that I am demolishing every single fight when I can use her even on Dynamic difficulty. I know I'm complaining a lot but I really love this game though which just makes the parts that are just really painful more grating.

I do feel like Rebirth wants you to dodge a bit more often than Remake did, especially with the semi-common enemy behavior where they get pressured when you dodge one of their attacks.

It bears repeating that Barret is ridiculous in this game. I've got most of the buffs to Overcharge damage/stagger/charge rate active, plus an ATB Stagger materia on him, and I legitimately can't spend ATB fast enough.

There are a lot of cool strats you can pull off in QB (and have them done to you by the AI) but is there a more effective strategy than overrunning the board and keeping your opponent from playing? Has done me well so far. I still use the prebuilt deck that incudes Midgarsormr I made 30 hours ago.

It's a good strategy but falters against some deck (particularly anything that excels at destroying/replacing) and is a horrible choice for Survival or some of the challenges.
