ImpAtom posted:Oh, don't worry. Speaking of this, without going into story details, how easy is it to raise your relationship with characters? I know, like the original, who you go on a date with at the Golden Saucer depends on who you have the highest relationship stat with or whatever. If I want to see all the dates, is that something I'd have to start the game over multiple times to do, or is there an easy way to raise your bonds late game that I could abuse?

I wish this game had a training dummy or something for me to wail on and get a feel for the different character's movesets. The little VR tutorials from Chadly are okay, but those orcs die way too fast.

They should have just had Yuffie kill them all. Yuffie wiping out all the edgy Dirge of Cerebus bosses in a side story DLC would have ruled.

I wonder who at Shinra came up with the idea to just rebuild the town after Sephiroth killed everyone and pretend nothing happened. You'd think it would be easier and cheaper to just blame it on Wutai or Avalanche or something.

Asterite34 posted:Considering Shinra is very open about the fact that it's a utility company that fields a private army of Stormtroopers, killbots with circular saws for hands, genetically augmented monsters, enhanced supersoldiers, and vaguely Black Ops Turks, it makes you wonder why they even bother keeping all the Jenova stuff secret They haven't found a good way to work Jenova into a Stamp propaganda song yet.

nine-gear crow posted:Literally everyone but Reeve on Team Shinra is some kind of megalomaniac dumbass and they all pay for their hubris spectacularly. Aside from Palmer, I suppose, because no one gives a poo poo to check in on Palmer once Shinra No.26 fails to stop Meteor. I'm guessing Rufus just immediately fired him, because he's just like loving gone from the game after that. Reeve must be really good at his job if he lasted this long in Shinra surrounded by psychos on all sides.

True, it's probably hard to find someone who can take care of that boring day to day stuff and also not constantly say to them "hey guys, maybe we shouldn't murder our own citizens and blow up our own city? Guys....please?"Asterite34 posted:I'm also pretty sure he's responsible for all the enemies you fight that are theoretically harmless domestic appliance robots that have malfunctioned and turned murderous like Smoggers. Hell House was probably some prototype low-income housing thing he was working on in Urban Development until the other executives started giving notes like "more indestructible force fields" and "it should have more missile salvos" Hell House is the result of Reeve taking one(1) sick day and getting Scarlet to agree to cover for him.

I like how even President Shinra knows Palmer is a useless sack of poo poo that doesn't do anything and no one likes, or even want to be around, but he also doesn't care enough to replace him with someone who is at least pleasant to be around. I mean, Hojo is a gross creep, too, but at least he just hides in his lab all day and gets actual results.

How long before you get to the new party members? I can't decide if I want to do all the side stuff I can right away or beeline the story until I get Yuffie and Cait Sith and then go back and do all the side stuff. I guess that also depends on how much side stuff is cut off by story progression by that point.

Son of Rodney posted:get a trebuchet into the bottom row so it hits the middle, put an enforcer and archer or cleric as support, then take care of the archer and enforcer on the top row. when you've finally reached the boss later on position another trebuchet to fire onto the boss and once they're ready unleash both heroes directly at the boss. fill up with whatever unit you have and he should die quickly. Does game difficulty affect mini-games? I got my rear end kicked by that last Fort Condor game 3 or 4 times in a row before bumping it down to easy and doing it first try. I don't know if it was actually easier or if I just got really lucky.

Arist posted:Chapter 4 region questions: Where can I find the driftwood? And can I actually access any of the stuff at the far east of the region? If I can't do that until I've done some stuff in Under Junon then whatever Check the picture you were given. The driftwood is basically along the western side of the map starting from where you caught the black chocobo and go north until your bird senses something. You can do all of the Junon region before even stepping foot in Under Junon proper.

History Comes Inside! posted:Re: Junon region completion, you absolutely can’t, there’s a bunch of stuff locked behind progressing the main quest path at a certain point. I'm just talking about all the Chadley stuff, which you absolutely can do all of after getting your Chocobo without ever going to Under Junon. I know because that's what I did. Actual regular side quests open up after you go there, though.

Augus posted:The Junon sequence is so much fun. They just totally lean into how ridiculous the whole scenario is and how dumb and oblivious it requires the Shinra troops to be. From the goofy-rear end march they do when Cloud sends calls them back to duty, to the serious commander running up to get her award and jumping up and down and waving like a little kid, to the 7th Division's blind acceptance of everything their "captain" does, it's all great. It's a good look at the level of competence within Shinra. None of the grunts bat an eye at you and your group of weirdos, wondering around the landing sight or when you just walk in and steal a uniform, BUT the Turks were on to you from the very beginning and just choose to say nothing, BUT none of them knew about Yuffie and she would have totally killed Rufus if Barret hadn't yelled at her.

I only just got to the beginning of the boat chapter before I went to bed last night, but I swear that character that walked past Madam M in that initial cutscene looked like Echidna from The Bouncer. Also, a really cute Red scene at the beginning of that chapter where he says he'll go scout out the boat, only to immediately get swarmed by a bunch of kids wanting to pet the cool dog. Cloud and Barret just kind of share a look before moving on

Augus posted:Rufus said at the parade that he wants Sephiroth dead and the black robes will lead them to Sephiroth. By that logic it’d be counter-productive to get in their way so he probably passed down orders to let them through. That's a good point. Honestly, I really like the black robe guys in these games. They're really creepy, and they're everywhere. You never know where they'll pop up next.

All the new stuff they've set up with Wutai seems really cool, and I'm really interested in seeing where it goes in the next game and how it affects Yuffie's character. She is way more up front with the group about why she's hunting down powerful materia, and she seems like a true believer in the SRC, the New Wutai Government and building a better future for Wutai and it's going to be heartbreaking when it all blows up in her face. I bet she will still end up stealing all our materia again, but it will be on Glenn's orders, and he's going manipulate her into turning on us. gently caress you Glenn! I also like how they set up an excuse for why we can't just go wherever we want at the start of the next game because war were declared, and all the boarders are going to be locked down.

I wish you could force your summon to use their final attack early. There have been a few times where the timer goes just right when an enemy becomes untargetable or puts up a shield that you have to destroy before they can take damage.

Ytlaya posted:I'm concerned that I might be heading towards an Aerith date, since her support thing just capped out in chapter 10, while Tifa's hasn't yet. I'm going to hope Tifa has some sort of side-quest in the next zone that will cap her (which seems like a reasonable assumption given what zone it is) and that it somehow gets her ahead (or that it didn't lock in Aerith because she was first). More side quests will unlock for all the zones at some point before the date, so that should help. It doesn't matter who gets capped out first, just whoever has the highest actual score by the time you get to the date(this number is hidden from you until you beat the game). Dialogue options and using synergy abilities with Cloud for the first time also raise their scores. Rhonne fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Mar 14, 2024 |

I somehow ended up with the Yuffie date, and looking at my scores after beating the game, she was one point higher than Barret. I did all the side quests except for a chocobo racing one, but I know I beefed it on a few of Tifa and Aerith's quests and didn't get the best outcome for them.
