grieving for Gandalf posted:i kind of hand waved away Remake's climax as S-E feeling they had to have a big JRPG abyss/void for the finale. I'll lol when I get to the end of this one and there's another, and again at the end of the third game when there's another I mean the third game is the one where it’s just expected that there will be a big RPG void battle at the end, isn’t it? Im still wondering how they plan to give Safer Sephiroth the impact he used to when they already wheeled out One-Winged Angel

during the scene at the entrance of junon in the demo a tree behind Barrett was violently oscillating between low-detail and high-detail models which isn’t exactly game breaking but I did find it pretty funny

Square just shot themselves in the foot. I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an rear end in a top hat. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

i love when genesis just pops up in Nibelheim out of nowhere, says a bunch of nonsense that has no effect on Sephiroth's backstory whatsoever, and then fucks off immediately and it goes back to being a normal retelling of the Nibelheim incident.

I kinda assumed that being older and better at understanding stories than I was as a teen I'd be able to see something there that I didn't before but nope the Genesis plotline really is just totally incoherent.

ImpAtom posted:Genesis' plot really is not that confusing. It's melodramatic as hell but it's not very confusing. it’s easy to understand that part, the incoherent part is the actual trajectory that the plot follows, which is “Genesis flies around to random places doing nothing really worth noting until his hometown is suddenly a gateway to the livestream and then he says some incomprehensible jibberish that Zack apparently sees as a huge revelation and then he turns into a Gundam”

synergy moves are such a game changer for the combat once you get used to them. lots of really fun party combinations to play around with that have their own unique strengths. but man they really should've come up with better terminology than "synergy skills" for the R1 moves and "synergy abilities" for the team limit breaks. it's so easy to get the two confused. why not go with "synergy limits" or something? ImpAtom posted:Yep. No items, limited MP. sweet. what carries over in terms of open world activities and do they still lock manuscripts behind redoing sidequests?

ImpAtom posted:Everything you've done carries over, but you do have the ability to set sidequests to a done/undone state when selecting a chapter. Any sidequest that has a noteworthy boss fight at the end does require you to redo it to get a manuscript, as well as the 'final' Classified Intel monster hunt for each segment which gets you a manuscript and a special craft material you can only get on hard. (Basically anything that qualifies as a boss fight gets you a manuscript in hard mode.) Alright that's good to know. With how much content this game has I was a bit worried I'd end up having a stupid amount of things to redo on Hard but that seems like a reasonable balance. Jezza of OZPOS posted:The extra level of graphical detail basically obscures what the actual viable paths are at least in kalm. Maybe I'll take to it or possibly even simply ignore it mostly instead of doing a lot of my pathing by looking at it. At the moment it feels jarring rather than helpful but I'm very early in so far. Plenty of time to change my mind on it. yeah I pretty much agree but it only applies for towns. dungeons still use a simplified map that only shows things that are relevant to navigation and the open world switches to a Skyrim-style compass. you can configure it to also use the minimap in the open world but don't do that it's even more worthless than in towns because the zoom is way too close for the size of the world. it seems like they took overhead screenshots of the world for the outdoors maps which means that roofs block everything below them and also lighting can obscure things on the map.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I am enjoying even more than in Remake how the game manages to work in the stuff from the original that seemed too goofy or "classic video game" to work in a modern one but they somehow make it feel right, also the subversion of some of that stuff as well 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.

NikkolasKing posted:I asked this of a poster in the Persona thread about P3 Reload and, well, this is another JRPG remake so why no ask it here, too. Nope. It will never replace the original and it's not trying to replace the original. I would probably *sooner* play the Remakes because I love the combat system and it's just easier to go back and replay chapters on hard mode than to start a whole new playthrough of FF7 original, but they're a completely different experience from the PS1 game.

Rhonne posted:End of Junon spoiler: There's something really funny about seeing these black robes waiting in line to get on a cruise ship with normal people. How are they getting by security!? How did they pass the background checks? 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.

grieving for Gandalf posted:experimenting with synergy skills while running around the Junon area and I'm surprised with the sheer amount of damage some do. the charged attacks combinations of Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith can do are capable of ridiculous damage, even compared to things you use ATB gauges on Aerith’s charge attack synergy skills is a game changer, it almost completely fills both characters’ ATB bars

Mt Corel: Something cute I noticed is that Yuffie's chalk drawings show a mini story arc of Yuffie and Barrett bickering with each other, Tifa stepping in and lecturing Barrett, Barrett sulking, and then the three of them making up and climbing the mountain together. lol @ Aerith getting delirious from the adrenaline high of mountain climbing also lol @ "shitbirds". I'm glad they made Elena into a jackass like the rest of the turks instead of being the boring level-headed girl. CharlieFoxtrot posted:I have beaten 8 opponents and I am still waiting for there to be a strategy that's better than "take as many tiles as possible" lol, any time I try to do something with cards that do other things besides that it hasn't worked lol I've found the pre-built Midgardsomr deck works pretty well with a few adjustments

I think the main thing with the open world stuff in this game is that it’s relatively restrained. there’s never an overwhelming amount of icons to chase to the point it becomes tedious, the regions feel big but you can cross them via chocobo relatively quickly, and there are clear, meaningful rewards for everything you do.

I also think the Weapon in the Corel reactor might be a brand new one? It doesn't really resemble Sapphire or Emerald, looks more like Bismarck than anything.

the “big charged hit” synergy moves do very respectable damage and fill up a huge chunk of ATB for both characters involved. They’re especially good for Aerith
