I’m at like 45 hours and just hit Gold Saucer and the mini games are taking like a full 2 points off my score for this game. There’s just so many of them and they gate upgrades and gear behind them. I don’t want to play Mario Party. What the gently caress is this. Every mini game except Queen’s Blood, which rules, is terrible.

JBP posted:Do spell blade twice with Cloud and they will both have 2 bars. Cast a ward on someone else and start blasting. When the enemies look at you and come over press triangle to teleport to the ward and unleash incredible amounts of magical bullshit. My brain just isn’t built for this sort of combat depth, this is brilliant and not one piece of it would have occurred to me lol I basically don’t use Aerith for all the same reasons as the person you’re replying to

thebardyspoon posted:Put one of them to sleep and then use haste, firaga against the non sleeping one. Grab the bubbles they spawn cause they give you buffs if you intercept them and stop them getting the buffs. I found it too annoying so came back later after I beat the game though admittedly. I read the Sleep tip and have tried it repeatedly and it never seems to work. I’m level 31 playing on dynamic and it’s a level 34 challenge so maybe I’ll come back later

SyntheticPolygon posted:Like most solo Cloud fights it ultimately turns into a "use punisher mode counter" test. From what I recall if you counter the attack they do after playing dead they get pressured and putting one into an early stagger is the key to winning the fight. Predictably it gets much more manageable once its one on one. Yeah trying a mix of fira and punisher stance counters (have tried sleep, regen, and haste a bunch too) I’m about 40 attempts deep and haven’t even killed one of them, this is just insanely frustrating

I just want to explore and fight stuff and the game prevents me from doing it at every turn lol. gently caress your mini games and forced party lock corridor sequences jfc For an open world game you get unbelievably little free roam time, yet simultaneously it feels like the story pacing is glacial The parts I like I really like but all the rest makes it such a struggle to keep going and having paid $70 is the main reason I still am. I just want to do combat let me do combat

crimson mare is loving brutal jeez no tank in the party makes it difficult just keeping everyone alive let alone doing any meaningful damage E: aw hell it even has a short runback and cutscene to skip each attempt I keep getting like 3 shot, I might turn the difficulty to easy for this one. Been in dynamic all game but this isn’t a good time lol Okay I got it done. Didn’t change difficulty to do it either. Phew Wamsutta fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Mar 17, 2024 |

What am I missing with red anyway? I love him as a character but never want to control him it just feels like he doesn’t really do anything. His melee is short little swipes with a weird range of motion, Stardust Ray is one of the coolest abilities in the game, but his ATB builds up insanely slow. You’re just supposed to sit there and block? That’s super boring :-/

Thanks 4 tha red tips friends I’ll give him another look! It’s legit hard locking down a primary party in this game I want to spend more time figuring out everyone and picking 3 can be rough. My main appears to have become Cloud/Yuffie/Barrett though. Haven’t come up on anything I can’t beat with that team. Yuffie is probably the most fun character in the game for me, she has all kinds of offense on lock and her moveset looks badass. She’s a little annoying but that’s part of her charm lol

really wish there were loadouts in the game. Coming across a fight like scarlet, having to completely reconfigure materia on three characters and then remember where everything was after gets pretty annoying Also, genuinely, how do you deliberately get to use synergy abilities? I’m 75 hours in and just kind of enjoy them as a happy accident when that menu option lights up and I get to use one

I’ll use it but I’m expecting I’m still gonna die because I can’t do enough damage to him before he gets everyone The AI doesn’t keep away from him or evade rancor so only the character I’m playing sufficiently runs away from him This sucks lol

Yeah I just won, did it by switching between everyone and just keeping range while filling ATB Problem is I stole the crown my first attempt and assumed that filled the requirement, the time I won I was so focused on not dying I didn’t steal it again and now I got the lovely crown. I’m not doing that right again so Johnny is stuck with it lol

Oxxidation posted:i saw what they wanted me to do for head case and immediately went in on easy with just barret I’m trying just Barrett on easy but I can’t do enough damage and the little guys end up suiciding Also why does lock on not actually mean lock on in this game? I’ve had this problem since the tutorial. I can’t consistently actually lock on to the target I want. And when I do it automatically changes anyway

Luxury Tent Carpet posted:The lock on will switch when the flayer teleports so watch for that - you can always switch targets with the menu up too if you want to be extra sure of who you’re targeting. I can’t seem to keep the AI from killing the little dudes, even switching off constantly. I’m over 50 attempts on this now, 20 on Dynamic and 30 on Easy. I think I’m writing off the VR challenges from this point and just rushing the rest of the story. A challenge that punishes you for killing something, get the gently caress out of here. I’ve kinda had it.

My singularly focused nerd rage prevented me from actually quitting the ”kill the mind flayer first” challenge and I got it done (Easy mode lol) Cloud/Malboro Orb/Magnify & Sleep/ATB Boost And then Yuffie and Barrett with just kind of my normal loadout for them but everyone had stuff to enhance ATB gains. Took a couple attempts to be able to sleep the two brains far away enough from the mind flayer that going to town on it didn’t wake the brains up but once I got that start it was over for the flayer pretty quickly. Only had to re-sleep the little guys once or twice. Back to Dynamic. That fight wasn’t fun but I’d be annoyed if I hadn’t done it

I’m completely stuck having been turned over to free range in Cosmo Canyon. There’s places all over my map I literally can’t find any way to get to. All the chocco ramps have ropes blocking them, so if I’m supposed to be using these to glide around I’m baffled as to how. There’s no in game prompt or information telling me wtf to do at this point. wtf.

Thundarr posted:The ones blocked by ropes are for the Glide de Chocobo side quest / mini game. There are other ramps marked by yellow paint and chocobo tracks that you can just use, scattered around the map. If you look around for the hovering plants, they're generally set in paths that lead away from ramps so you can find some of them that way. I did the mini games, I just finished the Gi Caves. No in-game indication of how I get to anywhere other than the story quest. This is what my map looks like. I can’t get into the middle or to any of my quests for love or money. I have spent an hour trying and I’m stumped.

Macaluso posted:This like extra stuff with the Gi that happens after you're done with the Gi Cave seems like a strange addition? The pacing felt like it stopped dead all of a sudden to go do this and the Zack stuff with Biggs. I don't remember the Gi having much significance in the OG after Cosmo Canyon, was there underlying stuff there I just don't remember? It kind of feels unnecessary the pacing overall is just super off in the game to me, and i realize that's my fault for doing side stuff but drat. i feel like if you introduce side stuff a large number of gamers are going to do the "clear area, move on" thing and that ends up making the game feel like the plot isn't doing anything, lol. i continually can't remember what my party is even trying to achieve because it's been so long since i did a story mission. the ideal way to play the game is probably story rush and then do all the side stuff post-game but then you might end up sorta gimped. i dunno what the fix is but i hate the pacing overall.

There is straight up no way I’m getting A rank on “Two Legs? Nothing’ To It”. This is absolutely hellish. I somehow got 16530 and then every attempt since has gone to absolute poo poo as soon as the easy starting bit is over. This isn’t the only thing that will keep me from platinum but it definitely will keep me from it lol. E: bitching online works again I just got 18200 after that post lmao. Never doing that again.

Shinra Manor is every bit as dogshit as this thread indicated. What is this box throwing garbage? I can’t hit this pipe for anything. Just non stop airballs This badly needs an accessibility option to bypass (maybe there is one and I just didn’t see it) I can picture a lot of people physically not able to do this with either the touch pad or the joystick.
