I'm honestly curious what they end up doing with Wutai, there's a lot of stuff there which is just weird. Like, hell, the five biggest fighters in the NotJapan region are all given theater names, which means Yuffie Kisaragi's dad is named... Godot.

Did anyone else find it weird upon returning to Cosmo Canyon, Nanaki has a couple moments where he's super joyous to be back home, but it's more like he returned home from college or getting lost in the woods, not being kidnapped and experimented on and trapped in a glass cylinder. Kind of weird that they didn't spend any time on him saying "Shinra is even crazier than we thought!" to Bugenhagen.

I'm not really shocked that Red XIII, who is so excited to be home he accidentally let his coolguy voice drop just upon seeing it, is more focused on the happy parts than the trauma.

Divekick sucks: Often I'm wailing on an enemy, implying I'm within range. I then divekick and miss. I just did it 3x in a row during a fight! By 'miss' I mean she divekicks the ground, no evasion or anything. Sometimes the enemy repositions a tiny bit and that's enough for it to whiff.

It has 0 homing and the range / splash damage is limited.

She has better moves to use on non-staggered enemies like Focused Strike, which significantly increases the stagger bar. Also Overpower is good.

I love so much that there's a running gag where Yuffie gets violently motion-sick if placed on literally anything that moves... unless it's a chocobo, in which case she immediately switches to YAY WHEE LET'S GO FAST AND JUMP OFF OF THINGS. And then Cloud gets dialogue where he straight up asks her what's with that, because he noticed the disconnect too.

I appreciate how readily Barret turns on dad mode and is usually the one attending to Yuffie when she's motion sick. Especially in light of how fed up he otherwise is with her. He can't help it!

I really appreciate the changes and depth they added to Yuffie. Like yeah she's still materia obsessed, cocky, and annoying but she's also empathetic, has a strong sense of right and wrong (as it applies to everyone but her mainly) and is usually the first person in the party to call someone out on their bullshit.

Yuffie and Barret share a standing idle pose and my head canon is that she's imitating him because she thinks he's cool.

I think it helps that Yuffie is both incredibly competent and willing to do what she has to do. Like for how goofy and ridiculous she is, she gets stuff done and comes like half a second away from assassinating the head of Shinra. She can be annoying and cocky and arrogant but she has genuinely enough skills that you can feel like it's at least partially earned, even if she's the butt of jokes.

She's also pretty honest with the group about her whole deal. She tells them right away that she's with the Wutai Government and that she's looking for powerful materia to give them the edge in the fight against Shinra. If she does still do the whole stealing the groups materia in the next game, I imagine it will play out very different than the OG.

I also think losing your materia is going to be a lot less painful for the player since so much of a character's power is tied up in their Abilities. Like it'll be annoying but not "I'm stuck with just autoattack" annoying.

ImpAtom posted:Honestly it's an easier fight with a single character or two at most. Damage isn't really the concern in that fight. I didn't have this experience. With just one party member I couldn't do nearly enough damage. I had the easiest time just focusing on doing heavy damage as fast as possible to the Mindflayer, with a full party. With the most important thing being to equip lots of stuff that lets you quickly gain ATB at the beginning of the fight (First Strike, ATB Boost, etc). That way you can quickly rush to a synergy ability.

Can anyone explain to me what is going on with the lighting in this game? I am constantly being flashbanged with bright lights then plunged into darkness as I go from one space to another. It's so weird and off putting, what's the reason for it?

It's supposed to reflect the way eyes adjust when going from dark-to-light and also is used as a method to hide the loading of textures.

No lie I was excited for Literally FFXII The Minigame at first but it sure failed to really do anything other than repeat itself seven more times with increasing strictness. To be honest all the Protorelic stuff is held back severely by inexplicably having to repeat so many times in each region. None of the minigames are really worth that many repetitions (especially not with hard modes) and the writers just seemed to kind of give up justifying the fight ones going on that long.

I think the Fort Condor minigame has potential if it was expanded to have multiple maps and more kinds of units. I was surprised they didn't do that in Rebirth, really. I mean I like Queen's Blood a lot more, so I'm happy, but still.

I'm on the final dungeon and something that's been stuck in my head all day is that when it switches to Aerith's party. There's a clock ticking backward and the text "Several hours earlier" but like it's not actually several hours earlier right? I just saw Cloud and crew like 15 minutes ago in real time. I always thought time in the game mostly passed like real world time when I'm controlling the characters and even when the characters take a break on a bench that's just 5-10 minutes at most. Does Cloud just sit at a bus station bench for like 2-3 hours? Now I'm questioning whether I just fundamentally understand the passage of time wrong or if this is meant to be a foreshadowing of timeline bullshit incoming.

You're not seeing literally every moment, which is why you don't have to spend 15 minutes watching Cloud take a poo poo after some bad burritos.

Yeah this is what worked for me in the end, I had Tifa & Cloud and just focused entirely on getting that synergy attack up asap and once that came off it’s a case of a few focus thrusts & strikes for the stagger and you’re home free (stop was helpful here just to the adds wouldn’t get in the way at the end and be killed first) It’s still a pain in the rear end though and felt a little more like luck than anything else but it got the job done!

Chapter 12 end of chapter Spoilers Man we get to fight Rufus again with the same gimmick? Except now you can't cheese the fight with "Stop" to keep him staggered more and "Sleep". That fight kicked my rear end on Normal, I had to redo the fight like 6 times before I got the timing right. It felt so good to beat him again like in FF7 Remake. Man he's going to be hell on hard mode.
