There are multiple scenes where characters seem to have foreknowing or flash forward to the original game in some fashion. It could be precognition but there are times it seems explicitly divorced from the Remake version of things.

Got a Q that I didn't see answered in the in-game manual: how do you raise the level of your weapon? Just have to use it a bunch?

It’s just based on Skill points, which you gain from leveling or obtaining skill books. You can see how many more you need to reach the next weapon level on the Upgrade weapons tab

GateOfD posted:What party/weapon level are higher level limit breaks Pretty sure you can use lv2 limit breaks as soon as you get a synergy to boost your limit level. There's a level 3 you can unlock around the end of the game in terms of party level. E: I hit lv60 and the protorelic end fights were much more palatable. While I wasn't a huge fan of all the stuff you had to do in each area, the questline was entertaining and had a great payoff. The soundtrack was top tier.

Send in the Clowns is not fun! It’s the opposite of fun, actually! Who the gently caress designed this????? Edit: the tonberries are real fuckers but the Joker/Gigantoad fight is worse somehow. But I guess you can stop/sleep/whatever the Jokers and focus on the toad first. In general I need to do more damage, quicker.

I just see the game as a retelling. It's not a chronological follow on. I guess in final fantasy it has sequels that aren't connected so anything can be a sequel and nothing matters, so who cares.

Tonberry part is actually the easiest if you equip Safety Bits on everyone. For stage 4 killing the gigantoad quickly and then whittling down the Jokers was how I cleared it, but that's easier said than done.

It’s really not that out of the ordinary for Final Fantasy, especially since the very first one had time loop shenanigans.

Just because some characters have prophetic powers doesn’t mean they’re from the future or that it’s a sequel to anything. It’s just a different angle on the story and a retelling/reimagining with some new concepts.

Yep, to me this is just FFVII expanded, with a heavier focus on the nature of the planet, the Lifestream, and its battle with the Jenova/Sephiroth infection.

Gongaga and Cosmo Canyon both rule what the hell are people on about? Also Glide de Chocobo was challenging but not nearly as dick twisting as people made it out to be. Stage 3 maybe took me 4 or 5 tries once I figured out the timing on the opening.

For stage 4 killing the gigantoad quickly and then whittling down the Jokers was how I cleared it, but that's easier said than done. It turned out standing behind a lustrous shield and dumping a bunch of comets on the tonberries works really well! Putting the Jokers to sleep and then spamming Blizzara in a Radiant Ward killed the toad pretty quickly. It’s kind of amazing how easy battles 3 and 5 are! Edit: I saved immediately after and tried G-bike, but alas I have fallen victim to the glitch. I hadn’t even played the expert G-Bike level yet so I thought maybe that would prevent the glitch but it did not! Blackbelt Bobman fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Mar 26, 2024 |

Rebirth feels less like a “sequel” than Part 1 but perhaps even moreso it comes off like a game made for people who have already played OGFF7. Game is just filled with so many scenes or character beats that have extra meaning and a whole lot of punch to them when you already know a bunch of the later events or reveals. Not sure it’s entirely a problem if newer players don’t get that but man, a lot of my fav parts of this game were those small moments of irony that are just everywhere across the story.

It’s just a different angle on the story and a retelling/reimagining with some new concepts. The question mark for me right now is a comment from the FFVII Remake Ultimania which talks about four different Sephiroths present in that game: Cloud's hallucinations, Cloud's flashbacks, robed guys appearing as Sephiroth, and something they say is "unknown". The unknown Sephiroth is supposedly the one that appears at the very end of the game past the whisper barrier and uses different first-person pronouns from post-Jenova Sephiroth. Assuming they haven't thrown away this idea, I'm curious where they're going with this, and if the same Four Sephiroth theory can be applied to Rebirth. It was (is?) a pretty popular fan theory that the fourth Sephiroth is, if not outright from the future, the one who at least knows the outcome of the original game.

I'd agree if the reprisals of old moments weren't almost universally worse, while the expanded storyline and new characters are basically all great. I don't think you're losing anything beyond nostalgia meeting these characters for the first time in a 40+ hour JRPG that's the first part of 3. You are having a completely new experience which I imagine would loving rule, but I'll never get to experience it.

I’m talking the little things like Cloud squats in the flashback, or him remarking in Gongaga “Man, only a real rear end in a top hat would make a promise with someone they cared about then disappear for 5 years without contacting them”. There’s a bunch of small beats like that throughout the game and I loved them all.
