I wonder how many used/unused assets from FFXV show up in this game

I'm expecting the combat to share some of the FFXV jank since it's tricky to make an RPG masquerading as an action game.

What I did learn the hard way though is that if your disc is slightly damaged, the game can simply crash while playing if it fails to read the disc at any point.

We read your text fine the first time, but they're not going to let you cast Firaga at the start of the next game, sorry.

Tbh I wouldnt be so sure about that. They could just let you carry your save and if you dont have one, they'll just give you a starter package.

Starting over as lv 1 with Buster Sword and lightning materia every time is makes even less sense.

If they want to remain at least somewhat faithful to the original they can't just redesign all the gameplay systems for every sequel. There has to be some sort of progression between each game.

Note, I'm not saying they can't cap your levels like in FFXIII, which would solve any balance issues.

One thing that bothered me a bit with my short time with the demo is that it seems a bit hard to keep track of the ATB bar.

One thing I want to learn about is what the deal with Sephiroth is because all I have is my broken memories and the one time I saw advent children when it released.

I've been told he's actually a Nice Guy and you're fighting a imposter most of the game and a alien is controlling him or something to 'no he's just a rear end in a top hat' and I genuinely. Genuinely do not know what his deal is other than he has a big sword and white hair and a really silly ultimate move and is also really really strong in universe.

Like I don't even mind if someone tells me about it now, I'm just lost as to what that guy is. A Zombie? A Alien? A Dude?

The original depicts Sephiroth as a stoic, legendary soldier who had a gut feeling there's something off about him.

Then he finds out he's made from alien DNA and goes mental.

I haven't played FFVII in a decade.

I haven't seen this before, and the upload date was yesterday so it very well may be new. Check out these chibi models you can mod into FF7.





I've been using the cel-shaded looking ones from the same page, but might switch over to these for the field models. Doesn't seem like this is in 7th Heaven 2.0, though, so I have no idea how to do it.

If there ever was a FFVII remaster doing it in FFVI style chibi models would make a lot of sense.

Wouldnt Niflheim make more sense since Midgar is derived Midgard and Midgar Zolom is just Midgardsorm.

Once FFVII comes out we'll see if we can go back to the style of FF that doesnt necessarily have to be sprawling open world. Midgar is probably big but I have feeling the areas will be fairly confined like in lets say... God of War (which has been cited as an inspiration I think)

I hope they pull it off because the demo was drat gorgeous

Say, I know the game's episodic, but have they said anything about how many episodes they're planning to make out of this?

They dont know. Also episodic is a bit misleading since it's multiple fully priced games.

Again, every "episode" is a full-length game. Of course they're going to price them as full-price games. Do you expect to see an entire movie series in the theater from buying one ticket?

That's what they say anyway. We won't know if charging full price for only the first part feels worth it until the game's out.

I have a feeling the actual length/content of the game might divide opinions.

The only thing I'd like to know is how long the game really is in the end. Midgar is a big part of the first game but 50 hours or whatever is being said sounds a bit far fetched to me.

None of the single player FFs are that long unless you spend it on grinding and doing everything. 25-30 tops is realistic for a FF game.

The party composition is always mandatory, but does not always include Cloud. Haven't done any post game yet so I'll see what changes there.

The party members you get are (spoilers here if you don't want to know!!!!!! I'm sure this isn't big news but anyway) Cloud, Barret, Tifa and Aerith. Red 13 joins the party as a guest but he is not controllable.

That kinda sucks considering that's what a lot people didn't like about games like FFIX and XIII

Absolutely. But usually people do it after they beat the game. Post game you get 3x materia XP. This is regardless of whether you play on normal or hard. Personally I did my grind in normal mode before tackling another play through on hard.

There's two good places to grind (one VR and one at the start of a chapter). But if you're still early on in your 1st play through I'll refrain. You can PM if you want to know now.

Thanks. Good to know you get increased exp on 2nd playthrough. I'll hold off on grinding for now.

You can send me a pm and I'll save it for later

Yeah, this felt like the game where SE finally "got" how to structure these types of games in a way that feels satisfying, so I don't want them to try and go full open world like with XV. This game is like an amusement park ride, but it's a good one.

It feels very much like God of War, which is not a bad thing.

Is it Tidal Wave? I got through that fight by topping up health in the time it takes for Tidal Wave to be unleashed so I could bear the brunt of it. I brought it up yesterday or the day before but I should have also been using Barrier to help with that. It can also be interrupted.

That and had no idea what I was supposed to do when he starts flying in the air for 5 minutes and I had nothing to hit him with. Even Barret had a melee weapon. Then a summon attack knocked him down but I got owned by Tidal Wave.
