I love gobbling up all the slots with 1 cost, 1 power crap and leaving the opponent stuck with like 4 creatures. Big hearkening back to Gwent spy strategies.

Yeah that poo poo was cool. This game has had like 10 surprising, delightful sequences out of nowhere that are original and not lifted from the original game, and I'm only at under-Junon.

Yeah, the mini games in this are both faster and better than pretty much 99% of other games' mini games. There does seem to be possibly way way too many chocobo racing levels though.

You can go back anywhere, but you might have to solve the pressing issue of the chapter you're in before you are able to. Though I haven't found a way to get back to Upper Junon. Does that place close off after you leave?

Cait Sith slides down ziplines lying down and cape flapping like he's (it's?) superman.  I hate how his constant lies are to my face and vocalized all the time in this version.

The Mangahanata or whatever book stores are stunningly pointless, except for providing more of that FF7 flavor in the one with the creepy owner employing 3 of the same type of speccy assistant girls

I feel like I've scoured this entire area head to toe and I've only found 2 bundles but apparently there are 8?? They're at the top of each zip line. You will need to get to them before they're marked on your map. They're all in that general Costa del sol area.

Aphrodite posted:There's a handful of times you can't leave a town and need to use them. That makes sense, but I don't know if I've ever felt like I needed a specific one of those weapon skill upgrades. Is there an automatic upgrade option for those, come to think of it? And do you eventually get enough points to just get every node?

I swear I remember a piece of dialogue that said something like "Shinra discovered mako 5 years ago" and just nodded along like it was a detail from OG FF7 they were using without really interrogating.

Bland posted:Characters tend to barely react to things that should be a big deal in this game in general. Most egregious to me so far was when (big chapter 9 spoilers) The whole party decides to collectively never bring up the fact that Cloud just inexplicably tried to murder Tifa This happens a chapter later, so spoilers, but there is a point where Barrett says something like, "Nibelheim isn't going to make Cloud freak out again, right?" and Red nudges him and quickly silences him. So maybe the party actually kind of sees what's going on, knows they still need to stick together to get anything done, so as long as the immediate danger has passed they think they can deal with it by keeping a close eye on him from now on. I'm still in Nibelheim so I don't know if that's where it goes. I guess he does still have an Aerith beating coming up, if the original story is followed. In general this game does try to have it both ways, with the fun open world RPG frolicking but also a mature reappraisal of the original story path and its implications, but I think it pretty much works. Seeing Cloud get deeper and deeper into his delusions as the party keeps growing closer together is a crazy feeling. Poor Tifa. But this all makes sense and should yield some epic confrontations and angst.

Pollyanna posted:I’m reaching the end of Chapter 10, and I’m starting to realize that we’re not getting Vincent or Cid yet. Well, there is a whole third game. I feel like this one has so many hits in it that what it leaves for the 3rd game might seem lacking, if this team weren't so drat competent. What I'm worried might not be/seemingly isn't in this game is Wutai. There's no way we don't go there in either this or the next game though.

Dumb question, when you do the Shinra manor dungeon, at the very end of it, is there anything down the little hallway to Sephiroth's reading room? I went the other path first and Cloud's dumb brain programming took over and led me into the cutscene and I got locked out. Did I miss any items/lore by not checking the long hallway first?

I'm always eager to check out and get the new weapon ability, even if a new weapon's stats and slots aren't doing it for me. And it's real fast to get the skill when you work at it for a couple battles.

RatHat posted:Suggestions on how to best use Cait Sith’s skill that uses a skill of your equipped summon? I really wanted to try to coordinate ChocoMog's self destruct with the Cait ability to self destruct his stuffed mog "when it leaves combat" but the couple times I attempted it, it didn't seem to be doing more damage than just the summon self destruct. But this idea has to be doable.

MechaX posted:Got to Upper Junon. I feel like the game is cool, but I am not enjoying it to a phenomenal extent as some others. Still mostly having a good time. Some of my minor gripes: There are I frames, but guarding is more consistent. I haven't seen a dodge buff materia, but guard gets one and it's never left my Cloud. And yeah, Chadley is kind of an insanely omnipotent cruise director. I just take him as a gameplay consideration and don't let it affect my opinion of the story, but his ever presence could make the journey seem a lot smaller and less mysterious. They do some fun stuff with him that isn't just the Intel dialogue too. But yeah, Upper Junon was a sequence of pure ecstasy for me. Try to do your troops proud.

JBP posted:The game's open world areas would be 500x better if Chadley and MAI were a vending machine with no dialogue and doing the open world objectives triggered two or three lines of party conversation or one of your team commenting on the nature of the region/info. yeah Chadley can be cute, like many of the weirdos you meet and then move on from, but the way he is at the beginning and resolution of all those open world activities is really too much. Like you said, give me a party member commenting instead (as we're walking/riding away; don't lock me in the Chadphone animation 500 times throughout the game please) UP AND ADAM fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Mar 12, 2024 |

Also if you're frustrated, try using Cait's random damage moves and see if you hit the jackpot. Those saved me a lot of time in that segment.

I didn't get to do the full Kyrie mission in the grasslands because I think I had already gone to Junon, or possibly beyond, and Kyrie had canonically moved on. So I met a stuffed moogle and listened to a tape recording, and I did the collecting poo poo part of the mission, but I didn't hear her banger theme song until later.

Reraise doesn't work after phoenix expires right? At least it hasn't for me. The summons leave so quickly that it seems like that's a tight needle to thread, having someone die after you summon Phoenix, get two atb, then cast it, but before it leaves.

I feel like it’s affecting the Rebirth experience when you really can only play on weekends and have huge breaks between them I know, it's loving bullshit

Rabid Snake posted:Gongaga has to be one of the worst designed maps in an open game ever. A main reason why I dislike open map games is the time it takes to go from point A to point B without anything interesting happening. Now imagine if you are given the coordinates and the pathways going from point A to point B are hidden with height differences. The map is never clear on where to go unless you fast travel back to and try different points. I normally get every tower for each region along with each fight detail / proto relic bare minimum but gently caress this map design. Yeah, the mushroom paths were begging for some blatant UI signalling, like those lifestream wisps you see occasionally. Or at least markings on the map after you use each one. That made the Cosmo Canyon paths to specific hard to reach areas a lot easier to figure out.
