I think they should retroactively add it to rebirth just so I can do aeriths little twirly thing that I assume I won't get to see in part 3 at least not until the very end

...must attack and fall upon them with a gallant bearing and a fearless heart, and, if possible, vanquish and destroy them, even though they have for armour the shells of a certain fish, that they say are harder than diamonds, and in place of swords wield trenchant blades of Damascus steel...

I love that twirly thingy! It fits the character so well.

Maybe the funniest menu issue (which was also the case in Remake) is how limited the view is in the item and equipment menus. A single column that only gets about 1/4 of the screen real estate is not great, especially when you're trying to look for a specific accessory in a list of dozens. Genuinely a case of UI that gets in the way of its own purpose.

at least let me go straight from the combat challenges to the materia menu without having to back out of the menu entirely, skip past Chadley’s goodbye dialogue, pausing and going into the materia menu to do my thing, talking to Chadley again, skip past two lines of greeting dialogue, and waiting for the boot-up animation of the combat simulator again

Is there a way that's substantially easier to get to level 70 than just playing through chapters on hard mode? I want to beat the poo poo out of Gilgamesh but I struggled a lot at 50 and I'm a little burned out after 115 hours and am probably just going to take a step away for a month before trying unless there is an insanely good grinding spot somewhere

Do chapter select and pick 12, reset all sidequests, do the "White Haired Angel" sidequest in Nibelheim with Exp Plus materia equipped. You'll fight waves of weak enemies that give absurd experience, and then a mini-boss that continually summons more weak enemies. I went from 55 to 66 doing this quest one time.

if you grab the EXP Up materia from the Labyrinth of Ancients (it’s in the section with the rotating rooms) leveling to 70 is pretty trivial. It doubles EXP for the entire party, not just the one who has it equipped.
Instead of actually playing through the chapters on hard mode you can just drop into a hard mode chapter where you have access to the open world and go around fighting weak random enemies and they’ll give you fraction of a level a fight, or find a intel battle that you can finish quickly and keep repeating it, or do the battle simulator or combat challenges on dynamic mode.
Enemy EXP scales up pretty aggressively with level but, funny enough, the amount of EXP required to level up barely changes between level 50 to level 70. so you’ll actually be leveling up way faster in the 50-70 range than you were in the rest of the game even before the bonus from EXP Plus

Trip Hazard posted:

In some ways the game is very good with QOL stuff (lots of fast travel, gather multiple/gather with no anim, swap materia from one slot to another) but I completely agree that the menus need an overhaul and loadouts are a glaring omission

Swap materia was in the OG and did it better by letting you swap an entire persons materia to someone else.

That is almost spooky. Square goes out of their way to show cloud putting his sword down every single time in both remake and rebirth except for the one time we all know he's lying about it. Fantastic little detail

Like... I honestly wouldn't put it past them. It actually sticks out that they treat it as a very solid, heavy object in cutscenes.

Galian beast easily the most difficult boss so far. I probably should've brought Red XIII along to tank damage and for his fire moves, but Yuffie did put in some good work, at least in the first phase. In the second phase she was just dead (twice!)

Got Cait Sith, yea he's too complicated for me. Regular battles end too fast for me to learn his gimmick, and it will just sour my experience using him in boss battles when I don't know how to work him well.

Enjoyed the climax of ch8.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Cait can get a lot of mileage just holding down attack, his moogle form hits like a ton of bricks (and his cat form can stunlock most any smaller enemy until he has enough meter to go Moogle)

Check a weapon store. Weapons you miss usually get added there.

Wow, hard mode bosses really do be hard mode. Just beat Gi Nattak after upwards of ten retries, though I do at least feel like I learned it like a Dark Souls boss and didn't just button mash through.

Now to look up videos of people beating him in ten seconds.

I feel brain dead I am stuck at the ch13 section where aerith can channel lifestream. I’ve gathered all I can and killed everything in the area, and don’t have enough to open this second gateway. I thought maybe I could absorb the lifestream back out of the one I opened but apparently not this mechanic is weird.

Have you smashed the little green statues? They don't give much but it might take you over what you need.

It actually makes a lot of sense because party switching can be very disorienting at times because you dont know how your guys are positioned. It also lets you resume attacking faster.
