I think they'll keep the Tiny Bronco and Palmer will still get hit by a truck.

It's going to be rad when Cloud meets Zack and has a huge freak out or something and it turns into a one on one boss fight.

Sephiroth is gonna be the final boss of every 7R game.

I don't really feel like the stakes are always super high? Like there's a bunch of chapters that are just chill sidequest diversions and you've also got stuff like midnight adventure with the avalanche npcs or tournament arc at Wall Market. It's a pretty long game despite just being Midgar and I think most stuff gets plenty of time to breathe. It's not always high drama time or anything. Honestly a lot of the time its a pretty goofy game.

The thread title has changed so that is no longer the case.

Blocking is big. The dodge roll has no iframes so can only really be used for slow attacks but blocks come out instantly and have a huge damage cut. You won't get too far without using blocking as your main defensive option.

As for Cloud that's basically the way you play, but the counter you get from Punisher mode is really good damage and can fill the stagger quite a bit so it's often good to jump into that when you know there's a physical attack coming you can react to.

I don't think enemies cancel their attacks when you switch.

Cloud's doing pretty alright for being 21 tbh.

E: Like Vincent's twice his age and he sleeps in a coffin. Cloud's doing ok.

Tifa's relationship with Cloud is way more unique because it turns out they weren't actually close at all and the big promise they both value so much was their first real conversation and ultimately something pretty meaningless that still ended up greatly influencing both of then.

The whole lifestream flashback thing is so great. One of the best scenes in all of Final Fantasy.

The game has Shinra explode the reactor because Pres is kinda the main villain now for longer than 2 hours (not really but you gotta think he is) so he has to do more stuff but it still feels kinda unnescessary because Avalanche still goes in to bomb the place and the outcome desired by the gang occurs although with worse ramifications. And its still followed up by Barret going "This is what needs to happen. Sucks but we gotta do it" and everyone agreeing except it also inspires Jessie to have a sidequest happen the next night so she can make a slightly less powerful bomb.

Just kinda weird. Don't think the gang even ever finds out Shinra worsened the explosion or if they do it's during the HQ infiltration and everyone has bigger fish to fry.

There was a party in the story but for the things you're using in the party during combat it had a weird In GAme Only gacha system for getting new Blades.

Yeah I figured you meant blades but they all get attached to your party of non-blades so I didn't know if you meant something else.

I mean there's a couple more differences from VII to VIIR than a new translation. Not sure it's quite comparable to whichever FFT release you like more.

Honestly the last time I played this game was back in the SNES days. And even I knew that game was a little buggy. For some reason I have this little thing in the back of my head saying Squarenix might fix bugs in it that made the game for me back in those days.

I don't think suplexing the train was a bug.

The best signifier that they're not the same is that the stories and characters are totally different even if they share some names.
