Just got the opportunity to watch the whole state of play and not just the trailer and lmao at all the extremely casual spoilers it just drops on anyone new to FF7.

Anyway unbeliavably sick that there's multiple synergy attacks for each pair. I thought everyone just getting one dual tech was already too cool but this is everything I could have wanted, just need to hope for some full party synergies!!

I think much like Remake 1, Remake 2 will probably also have some weird graphical (or I guess performance if you are in graphics mode) inconsistencies that will be sorta strange or disappointing. They had Integrade to practice with the PS5 but that was a much smaller game so would not be surprised if not everything is as ironed out as they wanted.

But also I was completely unable to notice any of the graphics problems in Remake 1 so like in that game it'll probably be fine all in all

I think also Tifa is probably happier to believe that her memories are wrong over Cloud's because she's very happy to have him around and if her memories are the ones that are right then the guy they've been hanging out with is an insane imposter freak with impossible knowledge he shouldn't have.

But maybe that'll be different for Rebirth since we know from older trailers that she talks to Aerith about inconsistencies with Cloud's story.

You know, in retrospect, having a move you call "Hell's Gate" that also emits dark energy when you use it should have tipped off the therapist at Shinra that something wasn't quite right.

can someone remind me what said Kingdom Hearts nonsense amounted to in Remake? I haven't beaten the game since it came out

I can't remember if they "kill" Sephiroth there and they're gonna be surprised to see him again or if it was weird dream reality poo poo or what

Ghosts showed up ocassionally to menace people in minor ways and kill people that died in the original then they became a big ghost and died.

According to the Ultimania there's four different Sephiroths in Remake:

- The one in Cloud's visions
- The one in flashbacks
- The "black-robed men" aka Sephiroth copies
- The one you fight at the end

what the gently caress does any of that mean? Who knows. But Sephiroth is the most changed character from the original game, where he doesn't have the fixation on making Cloud hate him like the one(s???) in Remake does. That probably means something.

Since most of these guys aren't actually Sephiroth that's only really two different Sephiroths (flashbackiroth and final boss roth)

E: And what this means is that they is classic ff7 sephiroth doing classic ff7 things but also a sephiroth all about rewriting that history probably because he wants to kiss Cloud or something.

All the different Xehanorts are different people and whatnot but the Sephiroths are still just Sephiroth.

I kind of hope that they would eventually add a way to get MAI to skip the opening spiel when you are going after fiend objectives. Unless it is there and I am an idiot?

I thought you could just begin battle regardless?

Anyway thought this demo was a really good showcase of combat, had a blast with it. Really like all the additions to combat everyone has gotten (well Barret seems mostly unchanged I guess) and Red seems real fun. Thought Vengeance mode sounded kinda like a pain but considering how guard happy the AI is he tends to just generate meter whenever you switch off him so even when spending the entire battle on the offensive you still get to play around with it.

Glad its only another week till the release because i'm dying to spend more time with this game.

There is a scene in the demo I don't get.

After they finish the reactor investigation, it cuts back to Kalm, Tifa mentions that the mayor was upset that Sephiroth wouldn't join him for dinner.

Cloud reacts to Tifa saying this with "huh" and Tifa also responds with confusion. I don't get the reaction from each of them.


Cloud Strife, Shinra Grunt who was probably sleeping at his own place and not going to be kept in the loop about minor things did not know about anything regarding Sephiroth refusing to join the mayor for dinner even though the Top Soldier accompaning him on this mission was probably also invited to this and would know what happened. So perhaps just a bit of disconnect from what Cloud knows about the story and what Tifa does.

Anyway, back to the synergy ability discussion did anyone find a use for the Cloud/Barret ranged attack one? They're already the characters with the most consistent ranged options so i didn't really understand when you'd use the synergy one.

I know Grasslands is probably just the "tutorial zone" but game seems a decent bit easier than the first. Thought Junon demo had solid enough difficulty with the Intel Fiends but most of the Grasslands ones have been cake walks outside of the final one. Hope the enemies pick up a little soon.

Everything else has been great though. Loving the game, and its just just nice to be back with the party again. Love all these guys.

Could you get into the Nibelheim store or mayor's office in the demo? That might be why they don't ask you to skip until you leave the town.

The vacuum is there because Square clearly thinks RPG dungeons or even the open world need to be broken up with other non-combat activities (like the underpass crane in Remake), Rebirth's big zones mostly do this through plenty of minigames and the Nibelheim flashback does it through vacuum (which, I would not be surprised if it started as a goofy minigame).

She has a half-remembered coma dream of him being there for her after she gets sliced by Sephiroth aside from that though she had no clue.
