Genesis kills Aerith this time.

With a golf club. And then the rest of the game is about him and how relatable he is.

On a more serious note, I've been experimenting with Sephiroth and it seems the game doesn't punish you for mashing square while in his parry stance. Still, his dodge is so good you don't even need to block .

I did notice a weird problem with the... lighting? When you enter the Shinra facility where it was way too dark and snapped bright suddenly.

I suppose that's an artistic choice. RE5 also did that.

I wonder if they'll add the other Sonic villains from Dirge in the DLC. They can't have Vincent or Kate run into them, but they could fight the rest of the crew.

Anyone playing this with Japanese voices and English subs? I wonder why the script is so different in the two versions. Did they translate a rough draft or something?

How does Sephiroth's triangle attack work? I couldn't figure out what made it change. Is it based on context? One seemed to charge with regular attacks.
It is a branching combo apparently.

Re: the final scene they could have easily fixed it by having Seph cut their guns in half from the start, then they'd have a reason to not do anything

I never figured out Sephiroths Parry, I thought it would be the same as Cloud's Punisher guard-counter but every time I put it up he just ate it in the face. I tried a few different instances of timing too
Don't hold R1. It's a toggle. And the game doesn't punish you for mashing square while in parry stance.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but qbout how long is integrade? Never got around to playing it after how irritating I found getting ff7r from ps4 to ps5 but I want to before this comes out.

Corollary: the remake save never properly transferred, will the carryover bonus work with just having a new save / doesn’t need a clear?

Between 2.5 and 4 hours, depending on how much time you spend on the minigames.

Avoiding the demo cause I want to go in cold but did anyone happen to see if there were any accessibility options, specifically for vision? I'm guessing probably not. Also is the mini map still the same color and such?

No accessibility options per se. The map is the same colour. The subs are huge for modern standards.

To anyone who has trouble hitting flying enemies:
With Cloud, press circle to dodge and then mash square; he'll throw projectiles from his sword.
His L1 + X special also has really good tracking and damage.

just finished intermission were the zack/church and party on the road scenes part of the pre-intergrade game? i don't remember them at all (and they obviously get thrown into the ending sequence of intermission) but i'm seeing some youtubes where they're in line with the normal game's finale
Those were added to Intergrade.

thanks, that makes sense. it also helps explain why people were connecting the shinra TV stuff in the trailer to zack, but i dunno i think sector 7 refugees are gonna wind up at the nearby abandoned church in most timelines

Some nerd in a different forum who's read all the Japanese-only Motorola flip phone-exclusive novels has been writing reams of text for years saying (Intermission ending) those aren't Sector 7 survivors, but rather Sector 7 victims, and that it's all a vision in the lifestream and Zack did in fact die on that hill outside of Midgar. His main arguments are the fact that they reused the model of one of the boys who is seen in the intro and that the cross in the church is a different colour than the in-game asset. No-one takes him seriously, but who knows where they'll go with that.

"Miserable Pile of Secrets" literally got patched over a decade ago, all recent versions of SotN use the new dialogue! They changed it to "Ha! Mankind. (glass) A cesspit of hatred and lies. Fight for them, then, and die for their sins!"
In the new dub, this line overlaps with his laugh. Just awful.

Edit: this rant reminds me of the weeaboo from another forum I mentioned a few days ago. His two biggest arguments for the English localization being bad were the steel sky line and also translating Cloud's "I shall be your opponent" to "bring it on, bitch".

I think Chadley is going to be revealed to be a time traveling Sephiroth, like young Xehanort.
-Has grey hair
-Was created by Hojo
-Is obsessed with Cloud
-Seems to know a lot about the lifestream
-Is generally unpleasant

Okay what's the secret to the last (please God be the last) Junon Protorelic Thing? I can get within spitting distance of victory but no matter what Gilgamesh just has too much health and can reliably just run out the clock before dying. Nothing can stay alive long enough to contribute much, and there's no way to make the AI coordinate. Even the hero units just die when he hard counters whatever they are. Even Grandmaster Chadley wasn't this miserable to fight. At least he was playing the same game.

Usually there'll be more enemy troops on one side. Summon the heroes when there's a few trying to funnel into your field. When you summon your heroes or elite units, put your two clerics behind them. During the last stage of the fight, summon archers right after Gilgamesh attacks.
