lmao, I lucked into an absurdly blessed first run of the final Moogle thing (which I was bold enough to do on Normal). Every awkward gently caress-up I made somehow moved me away from the various attacks/traps. Just stumbling between wind and bombs and bananas. Didn't get hit once. Edit: lol at the cutscene afterwards. I think this is the happiest Cloud has been throughout the entirety of Remake and Rebirth. Edit2: The journey ends there. Tifa, Aerith and company never heard from Cloud again Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Mar 15, 2024 |

loling at the difficulty spike in Chapter 12. Went from not dying in this game at all to unable to even hit the boss a single time. I'm going to throw my PS5 out of a loving window.

they want shady posted:Something weird happened so I gotta ask, (beginning of chapter 13 spoilers) went to the northern village but decided to do the pirate treasures first since I got the warning that I couldn't go back if I disembarked and that sounded pretty final. Anyway, after clearing at least two of the four monster parties the game sort of froze like it was looking to go into a cutscene but after a few seconds it just let me move around like normal. Was Cait Sith supposed to chime in or something and the game's not dealing well with him not being there (tbf neither am I lol)? Probably just a bug. My game full-on froze during a battle and I had to force-quit. Luckily it only happened once

Who the gently caress designed this (final protorelic) Odin/Alexander fight. I've been trying to do this for four loving hours. It is an unending stream of bullshit.

I have a very well-developed bullshit sensor that allows me to bump down the difficulty from Dynamic to Easy completely conscious free, and this was one of the fights it tripped on. The others were the mindflayer combat sim challenge and that one Golden Saucer fight with the worm that eats you

Gongaga has to be one of the worst designed maps in an open game ever. A main reason why I dislike open map games is the time it takes to go from point A to point B without anything interesting happening. Now imagine if you are given the coordinates and the pathways going from point A to point B are hidden with height differences. The map is never clear on where to go unless you fast travel back to and try different points. I normally get every tower for each region along with each fight detail / proto relic bare minimum but gently caress this map design.

I tried one of the final protorelic fights and got wrecked then I saw that the recommended level for the quest is 70 so I peaced out and decided to save it for postgame. Credits rolled. Game is loving great. Gonna suck waiting for the third one now

When I was 11 I played through ff7 with a friend multiple times. I’m 36 now and last night that same friend (who lived in another country for 15 years) was over watching me play rebirth while we laughed at how they adapted everything in costa del sol. This game is like made to cure millennial depression I think

Yeah, the mushroom paths were begging for some blatant UI signalling, like those lifestream wisps you see occasionally. Or at least markings on the map after you use each one. That made the Cosmo Canyon paths to specific hard to reach areas a lot easier to figure out.

Finally finished the game. Definitely a top tier game. I didn't find temple as bad as everyone was complaining, but I dobthink it could have handled the pacing slightly better than they did. Excited to see what they do for #3. Gongaga was definitely the low point of the game, where it felt like they were padding it out. Probably mostly had to do with how poorly navigating around the jungle was, because looking at the map, it's a pretty linear zone in terms of doing all the world intel stuff. Now to go back and get the final 7 johnny items. berenzen fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Mar 15, 2024 |

Finished chapter 8. Man, I liked the whole emotional core of Barret vs Dyne, but the whole 'now he has a giant junk arm for phase 3 because ???????' immediately followed by Palmer hopping out of his frog mech to spank his rear end at me was a bit much.

Odin is a hilarious fight, I was incredulous and the, uh, zen attack wiping me a minute in the first time, on lowest difficulty. Then I died a few times remembering the posts itt saying "dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge" and still loving it up until I read a guide saying "the secret is to keep him interested. No really, make the fight entertaining to him" and then I promptly walloped him by just going full tilt. What a fun fight, the guy is a beast but you can really go hog wild since there's no real trick except for getting gud.

Hey Barret has picked up some pretty weird weapons over Remake and Rebirth with some skills on them, why can't the guy in your spoiler over the years he's been doing his thing? Real talk, I thought the same thing a bit, they kinda nailed most of that scene and then had the big band of Shinra goons show up to get gunned down, Dyne gets shot up, Barret somehow is right next to him again but didn't get hit at all by any of this and then like yeah, big bombastic mech buggy chase with copious machine gun fire and the turks showing up kinda gives you a bit of whiplash.

Yeah the other thing about killing is that I think Rebirth is leaning pretty hard on what I like to call "Yakuza rules": it doesn't matter how many times you shoot someone with a gun or cleave them with a huge buster sword in combat, they didn't die unless you saw them die in a cutscene. Narratively, you're not actually killing most of the human enemies you fight. That's the only way reactions to things like Tifa stopping Cloud from killing the Shinra soldiers you just got done beating up early in Remake, or (Chapter 9 spoilers) Cloud actually killing a bunch of guys in a bloody rampage make sense.

I think Rebirth just thinks it is bad to murder defenceless people. Barret gunning down a bunch of folks chasing them on motorbike and afterwards saying "I hope Dyne would be proud of me" (because Dyne loves Shinra guys getting got) is fine and cool but Cloud executing shinra soldiers who are lying on the ground disarmed and moaning in pain is a bad move that is uncool. And of course Aerith tells Red XIII to let Hojo go not because murdering Hojo is bad but because it is adapting an iconic strange moment of FF7 where Hojo just be hanging out in Costa del Sol and nobody cares or does anything. Rebirth adapts it into a main story scene and has the gang actually confront the evil scientist they all despise but it is still a scene mostly there for goofs (now with Johnny) and Hojo is able to exit with no trouble and only a light justification of "this isn't the right time for it".

To be fair, we the audience know that Hojo is directly responsible for things being so awful, but the party does not know that, they know he's a crazy evil scientist, but they don't know how deep the well goes at that point.
