Apparently folks have early copies now. I imagine the internet will be a minefield of spoilers over the next 10 days

I mean the gamespot review section already posted contained the extremely unambiguous phrasing [at the end of the game] they robbed Aerith of an important character moment Whatever could they be talking about?

I don’t think I would have played them at all if they hadn’t reworked the character. What an awful person.

reading between the lines, it sounds like aerith dies but it's weird somehow. which, given the timeline nonsense we've already seen, isn't too big of a shock

Does Vincent and Yuffie still keep the older brother and bratty younger sister vibe?

yes. google "yuffie bratty sis" to learn more

i'd heard somewhere that it would release at midnight on your PS5's time zone. sounds like it's 12am EST for everybody, so that's good news

I managed to do them all in 2 tries at most but they're extremely annoying, I agree. There didn't need to be 7 of them

Did you actually beat him without him using Zantetsuken? I had to cheese it by equipping everyone with revival earrings

Something weird happened so I gotta ask, (beginning of chapter 13 spoilers) went to the northern village but decided to do the pirate treasures first since I got the warning that I couldn't go back if I disembarked and that sounded pretty final. Anyway, after clearing at least two of the four monster parties the game sort of froze like it was looking to go into a cutscene but after a few seconds it just let me move around like normal. Was Cait Sith supposed to chime in or something and the game's not dealing well with him not being there (tbf neither am I lol)?


Probably just a bug. My game full-on froze during a battle and I had to force-quit. Luckily it only happened once

I like new Cid. He's still a little cranky and rough around the edges without the domestic abuser bits

I feel like Part 3 almost wants to be a different genre? Like this is the one of the three that wants to be an open world exploration type game. Part 3 could do something wildly different, I don't know quite what yet.

i play piano irl so maybe that's why i didn't have too hard of a time with using both hands/sticks. gently caress the battle theme, though

I have a feeling that Yuffie and Cid's dynamic is going to be really funny

If I'm remembering right, OG Yuffie steals your materia like right after you meet, right? Before she's even a full-fledged party member? I can't see her doing it now, it doesn't fit her character and she's got too much trust with the group.

no, it's only once you get to wutai

it took me a bit to figure out but i didn't think chocobo gliding was all that bad. i'm definitely not going to try to get more than the minimum passing score on the courses though

I think I’m just getting old. Combat already looks like a mess of spell effects and enemies jumping around all over the place so I end up just button mashing with cloud and using triple slash until things are dead.

Switching characters nonstop just makes me dizzy.

just change to easy mode. that's what i did, no shame. i don't have the patience to die to bosses over and over or learn split-second blocks anymore

They kind of had to make Cid different. It wouldn't have gone over well if they made him basically a domestic abuser like the original

holy poo poo I just realized I never even went in the honeybee inn in ff7og

lol you should look it up on youtube if only for how weird it gets. there are a couple moments that are ripped straight from twin peaks. and some casual homophobia, of course

I think ive already said this itt but it bears repeating, aerith and tifa becoming besties almost immediately is one of the best character beats in these games on par with wedge being genuinely scared of tifa

in the original a lot of their interactions are love triangle bullshit. this game executes it much better by having tifa and aerith join forces to pick on cloud instead

they absolutely need to add a way to transfer all of a character's materia to another character at once. transferring materia is clunkier than in the OG

I didn't find the boxes that annoying, I just used the press square to throw system. When it rolled out the multiple box thing at the end I just went lol and waited for it to end.

i think i hit 2 boxes at most. if that had been more than just a bonus game i would have been upset

You do need to hit 10 or more boxes for the platinum trophy

Wtf instant death protection doesn't do anything against zanzukten? This Odin fight is a huge struggle lmao. Any tips? I'm not above taking it off dynamic if need be but it seems like a cool challenge rather than a wall to bang my head against. I feel like there's better characters than what I'm using ATM. Barret seems good with some magic on him

equip everyone with revival earrings

Vincent and Kujata are both things I didn't get on my first playthrough of ff7 so sometimes I just forget they both exist. I'm picking up my save game on switch I abandoned to start remake back in February and I don't even remember where Kujata is. I assume gongaga adjacent?

You can find Kujata in the sleeping forest on the way from Bone Village to the Forgotten Capital
