My suspicion for what they'll do for Yuffie is that she's going to steal the Huge Materia on behalf of Wutai government (on behalf of either Glenn-Sephiroth or Viceroy Saruf) and dealing with the fallout of that.

One of my favorite Barret/Yuffie interactions was this Chapter 11 spoilers because there is a linked video https://twitter.com/xtrillvalentine/status/1767072810021601345 How Barret treats Yuffie as a father figure is adorable. And how Yuffie defends Barret at Corel.

another neat yuffie party dynamic is when Red drops his schtick they instantly click together as the two adolescent brats of the group

My advice is watch for the one who did the earthbound to get in the counter stance and hit them with the biggest fire spell you got. Also Earthbound will only target who you're playing so you can bait it onto someone less important (ie. does not have fire) Blockhouse fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Mar 21, 2024 |

If I'm remembering right, OG Yuffie steals your materia like right after you meet, right? Before she's even a full-fledged party member? I can't see her doing it now, it doesn't fit her character and she's got too much trust with the group.

I for one really dislike having yuffie around and I'm dismayed they gave her such a big role. She gets better later in the game and is almost tolerable at times but then always returns to her over the top everything , especially the materia obsessiveness. She's a 16 year old written by middle aged anime nerds, and it shows. And then they inserted her in all these quests, instead of actually cool character barrett or red, who seem kinda like afterthoughts after their respective region is over. Barrett being sick of her is funny to watch tho. I'm still not sure about how the wutai stuff will shake out, it's interesting how much bigger of a part it seems to play in this game. In the original I inadvertently skipped it until super late game and the entire area never really had an impact that way. Yuffie and wutai both went from completely skippable to essential story parts, they're really trying stuff out this time around.

At first when playing through the remake I thought she was annoying than I realized she was the "Zell" (FF8) of the party and now shes cool. Shes the hyperactive kid to the more serious people in the party. If you have no nostalgia to FF8 this won't help at all

Everyone gets the same amount of sidequests. Red gets all his done early though (even if he gets a secret extra technically-not-a-sidequest) and Barret has a lot of his late.

How long you spend in certain regions definitely makes the sidequest balance feel weird, despite their even division among the squad. Tifa and Barret have loads of late-game sidequests but I spent at least a 1/3rd of my total playthrough in Gongaga and Cosmo Canyon where between both of them, there's only one before chapter 12.

I can't see her doing it now, it doesn't fit her character and she's got too much trust with the group. If you select the "wrong" answer in her recruitment dialogue chain, she'll steal some Gil and take off. IIRC, when you recruit her after that, she'll even offer to give back what Gil she has left over after medical bills. And a random question, I know people have mentioned you can see things listed like everyone's affection score when you clear the game, but can you look up other things like what synergy abilities got used the most? I know for a fact my top two most-used are Cyclonic Kick and Avalanche Two-Step, but I'm mildly curious if I can look it up. LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Mar 21, 2024 |

Hey Tifa also gets one at chapter 11! But yeah some characters have their sidequests balanced strangely. Red is all done by chapter 10 and Barret gets like 3 or 4 in 12 alone. While Aerith just kinda very consistently has one in each region.

It's also weird how every zone has roughly the same amount of World Intel stuff on the map, but some zones just have less side quests than others.

LadyPictureShow posted:If you select the "wrong" answer in her recruitment dialogue chain, she'll steal some Gil and take off. Kind of. It'll list some categories and how far you've progressed in each, but doesn't seem to get into the crunch of how many synergy abilities you've used specifically. Notably, it'll give a total for how many affection-related conversations you've had, but not exactly which. So you can't tell from the game alone which you missed (or biffed). Honestly I was surprised how much further along I was with Barret than anybody else, despite having Aerith and Yuffie in my party much more often. I probably just missed like one conversation each while finishing basically everything for Barret. Thundarr fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Mar 21, 2024 |

Just realized you can press L2/R2 at Gold Saucer shops to swap between all of them, you don’t have to physically go to each square. By the way for anyone else that was struggling with the 3D Brawler secret boss, here’s all his combos, in order of appearance(though he can still use earlier combos)(Move/input for dodging) - Right Straight/Right Up Left Hook/Left Left Right Hook/Right Right Left Straight/Left Up Right Uppercut/ Right Down - Left Uppercut/Left Down Right Hook/Right Right Left Uppercut/Left Up - Left Hook/Left Left Left Hook/Left Left Right Straight/Right Up Left Uppercut/Left Down - Right Straight/Right Up Left Hook/Left Left Right Hook/Right Right Left Straight/Left Up Left Straight/Left Up Left Uppercut/Left Down His final combo is a variation of his first to mess you up. It was always the last one he used for me so he can probably only use it later in the fight

The gently caress am I missing with the Red Dragon fight in Hard Mode? I distinctly remember his Crimson Breath attack not covering literally the entire floor in lava and the whole point of it being you run to the place where you can not die, and also that if you cripple his stomach it will decrease the size of the place where you die. But now he has a new version of the attack with a new name that covers the entire floor even after crippling the stomach, and everybody just dies with no apparent recourse. Is this just an Elemental check or what? Doesn't seem like the game's style but I don't see how else you're supposed to avoid this, especially since without a targetable enemy nobody can get in the air for long enough. e: Aerith has Fire Elemental Armour so clearly this isn't even that. The gently caress is happening here? Fedule fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Mar 22, 2024 |

SyntheticPolygon posted:Hey Tifa also gets one at chapter 11! I forgot about Nibelheim true. I think a part of it is that ubiquitous open world problem with story driven games wherein the pacing is completely player determined, and that leads to some wonkiness in balancing the game's content out. It's not really a design issue, but something that just naturally emerges from how a flexible region-by-region playstyle works. We'll see if Part 3 has the same issues but my hunch is that the side content will play differently since the actual main narrative path and character beats still left to adapt are all much more straightforward and propulsive than everything covered in Rebirth.

Blackbelt Bobman posted:I really wish they would patch in accessibility options for colorblindness. I’m RG colorblind and keep missing purple chests that are near anything green. The one in the Gongaga airstrip was basically invisible to me until I read online where it was because it was among shrubs and foliage. I also missed Tifa’s weapon on the boat, I probably looked right at it and didn’t even realize it was there. Kinda annoying considering how hard AAA games lean into accessibility these days. ohh lol so that's why i didn't find Tifa's weapon. makes sense

I mean, I reduced its HP to zero and a prompt said "you crippled the chest" but maybe the bug is that the logic is broken... but only on hard mode? That seems kinda weird even for a bug. Man why didn't that get patched. I managed to cheese one using Radiant Ward but with a sliver of health left on account of me having to spend valuable time rezzing people after the first Crimson Breath instead of murdering him he managed to get off a second and it started right on top of the ward. This sucks incredibly.

I think a bit of it is a design issue just in that Gongaga and Cosmo Canyon have much shorter main story than the other regions despite being just as big a place and it makes all the World Intel openworld stuff stick out a bit more. I think Cosmo Canyon still mostly works alright for me because the sidequests there also have you bouncing around the entire place so at least if you're doing the quests you are exploring everywhere anyway but it still stands out. Like Nibel is also a place you don't spend much time in but compared to the previous two its way more compact so it kinda balances out a bit better.
