This is probably my only complaint about the game. Slow animation out of a thing, try to start moving only for another animation so Chadley can say “wow great good job”. If it was more seamless, especially when it led to opening the map briefly, it’d be less annoying. Heck, just do the mix thing and let me hit the middle pad if I want to see the new location.

When you're trying to tick off all the region quests it's so unnecessary to interrupt you every single time to say 'Congrats on doing the thing you just did.'

he only gives you a generic congrats for the summon stones, the others are paired off and he calls you up to notify you of a new reward with each pair still too frequent though

Who's idea was it to put the checkpoints for the final boss fight before the long unskipable cutscenes between phases? e: Speaking of, is there a way to pressure the Bahamut Arisen Whisper or is my only hope of beating that phase on hard to just go absolutely ham and pray I can kill him before his big cutscene attack wipes my party?

I think they started doing this FFVII Intermission DLC and it drove me nuts because Yuffie's final boss wasnt exactly easy and it had a long cutscene between phases

Question: is it doable for me to the get through the entirety of the game on Normal using each character's starter weapon? Cloud with the Buster Sword, etc. I'm up to Gongaga and haven't had any problems thus far but I wanna know if I'm gonna get wrecked in the endgame (which given than I'm 60 hours in and only at Chapter 9 will likely be several months away).

Weapons fill niches rather than using a tier system. You should be fine. That said, learn the weapon abilities off each successive one or you're gimping yourself for no reason.

The main advantage later weapons get is that they tend to start with more materia slots at any given weapon level.

Though now I'm wondering cause I'm quite in attentive, do weapons gain slots as the weapon level goes up? For that matter, are party level and weapon level both tied to sp? The folio and weapon progression systems feel a touch opaque and I still don't entirely know what triggers progress. It seems like side quests, mostly, plus the books. But sometimes I get sp and don't know why lmao

Weapons level up, as they level up they get more bonus perks and materia slots. It's totally ok to stay with the buster sword since it's got a good balance of attack power, magic power, perks and slots.

the biggest heart attack I had was doing the special fiend hunt of an area, and messed up so I went to restart and accidentally hit "go to last checkpoint" instead of last battle" and potentially lost like 4 hours of gametime and went back to the start of the entire checklist of the area when I was almost finished. luckily going back to the checkpoint didn't affect the autosave slot, so I was able to load that one to before the drat Malboro.

I have no loving clue why that's ever an option. Yes I had so much trouble with this boss that I want to reload the start of the chapter which was 10 loving hours of open-worlding ago.

I eventually got it by giving up and just hoarding ATB and playing defensively, so when I survived the big attack with single-digit hp I could drop Prayer and Watcher's Respite immediately.

I finished replaying Remake(I was still in the mood for more FF after Rebirth) and it made me wish Rebirth had a day/night cycle or something because Midgar looks real good at night and I bet a lot of areas in Rebirth would, too. It also reminded me that one of the funnier bits of Shinra's dumb Neo-Midgar plan is that they still haven't finished building all of regular Midgar. There's still a whole plate under construction but President Shira is bored of the place already.

To be fair I think it is less bored and more "Midgar is a literal cancer on the world and has drained all the life from miles around and mutated all nearby animals into horrible beasts, we want somewhere new and fresh where the rats don't suddenly Parasite Eve on us."

I figured it was less that and more "we make more money by building a new Midgar than fixing the old one. There's no profit in maintenance."

Not only is Midgar still unfinished while Shinra's planning to abandon it in favour of some hot new thing, but the stuff that's barely 30 years old at this point is already starting to crumble to pieces because Shinra sucks. I'm surprised more parts of the plate haven't collapsed like Sector 6 did.

People often like to point out the somewhat amusing timeline in FFVIII, where things that sound like distant history actually took place like 80 years ago, but FFVII's got some of that, too. Shinra's massive, world-changing rise to power? Took place over about 30 years. It really puts into perspective how drastically and suddenly the world has changed leading up to FFVII's story.

To be fair 30 years ago from today was 1994, so "the world changes absurdly drastically in 30 years" is pretty reasonable.

Oh definitely. Plus we know what an insanely powerful energy source mako is, plus magic is real, so it's not unbelievable at all that Shinra could do everything they did so quickly. It just really highlights what a period of seismic change it's been.

Final dungeon (at least I assume it's the final dungeon) is cool, but the constant switching of party comps is annoying. The UI is just a bit too unwieldy for it and at this point I'm just not bothering to slot materia for some characters unless I really need to.

I do occasionally throw stuff I'm not using on inactive party members but it's a mishmash of stuff with no real connection.

You'll need to reset your sidequests to do them all on hard for more folios. Just be sure to retain your current quest progress any time you change chapters because you'll need to do every other quest to unlock the final quest.

Pretty sure Barret had the longest length "climb-jump from this stupid ledge to this stupid ledge, one after another, no variation or complications to be added" sequence during his segment. That was pretty bad.
