triple sulk posted:It's very possible that (making poo poo up here) the game "ends" with Aerith dying or whatever and then there's like a few hours of Zackworld. Technically speaking the progress of the normal FF7 game as we know it will still have stopped there. can't remember who, but someone earlier in the thread speculated something similar off of the trailer and the scene with aerith/zack certainly seems possible but i'm not sure i love the idea. "the same thing happens but now you find out there's another dimension for (non-whisper) ghosts" doesn't really feel like solid payoff for "rebirth has a surprising ending that may be controversial" or whatever has been going on with aerith/sephiroth's awareness and the whole zack thing so far through remake e: ok thinking about it more, something winding up with a second party made up of dead characters would be very fun and would pretty easily lead into another DLC episode before game 3 stuker fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Feb 18, 2024 |

D.Fuzzbot posted:Someone made an installer for the Deck which I did for my recent playthrough of A New Threat and it worked flawlessly. thanks for posting this! i was wondering if it would be possible to get mods working on the Deck one question-- for whatever reason the installer didn't create a steam entry for 7th heaven, but i assume i'll still need need to create one manually if i want to run mods from steamOS. is that the case, or do i only need to run 7th heaven for mod configuration?

D.Fuzzbot posted:You have to run 7th Heaven for the mods not just the config. It should have at least added the application that you can add to steam from desktop mode. gotcha, well-- easy enough solution, thanks again! agreed with the folks praising the upscale mods, i've been less than impressed with upscaling on other media but PSX-era stuff really seems like a perfect use case for where the tech is at right now

just finished intermission were the zack/church and party on the road scenes part of the pre-intergrade game? i don't remember them at all (and they obviously get thrown into the ending sequence of intermission) but i'm seeing some youtubes where they're in line with the normal game's finale

JBP posted:Like I replayed the first one and love a lot of it, but a lot of it is extremely tedious and annoying. It isn't better or amusing if it's just a nod to tedious annoying things from the past. It's just encouraging you to do something else with your time. it may not be to your taste, but i think a lot of people would be disappointed if little annoying stuff wasn't retained/expanded because they do find it amusing. that's what i think ImpAtom is referencing with the jokes i dunno why some folks are so worked up at you but i'm pretty sure this is the first time The Vacuum has come up in the 2-3 weeks since the initial demo dropped, so i think it's also a bit of a newer debate than performance/graphics mode

Oxxidation posted:having some trouble grasping how Synergy attacks work. the tutorials say that certain duo attacks build up the relevant meters but i don't see the symbol it's pointing out anywhere yeah what ImpAtom said-- the manual page is not particularly clear on this but the combat simulator stage does a slightly better job the other thing i completely misunderstood is that synergy skills and synergy abilities are two different things, and it's only the latter that requires the synergy meter. i think this might have been more obvious in the junon demo (which i skipped)

JBP posted:I got to the dock in the swamp. I looked around the grassy but and there didn't really seem like there was anything to do. I found a locked door and a town with nothing in it. I assume I turn back from the dock and things to do appear? you might need to run into bill before that will trigger-- i ran into him and he said to go to the dock even though the innkeeper already mentioned it. the dock scene basically tells you to go to the ranch so i guess he needs to tell you about it first

Quinton posted:I'm trying out the Auto-Cast and Auto-Unique-Ability Materia (available from Chadley after doing various world intel errands) to see if they're useful for reducing the character swapping micro-management a little... in my limited experience auto-unique works well on tifa, i'd hope it helps automate red xiii's whole thing but haven't really tried it out had aerith with auto-cast aero for a little while and it sucked/made it tough to use her ATB, but it's working much better on heal so far

Drunk Driver Dad posted:I'm a person who was a little mad at it. It was just really slow and clunky. The first one wasn't too bad, but the second time was pretty annoying. If you worked 60 hours a week and sat down for your 1 hour of video game time then half of it gets wasted clunking a vacuum around and limping through fire you'd probably be a little annoyed too. I wouldn't really call it a minigame either, at least those are kind of games in themselves, like them or not. Not sure how bad it's going to be in this one, but Remake was full of those "this is to pad out some time" moments. don't get me wrong: if you dislike it you dislike it, it is definitely pointless in terms of the larger game and i can appreciate having limited time to game and wanting that to be stuff you enjoy what seemed so silly to me is that the discussion earlier had me expecting something ridiculous that i'd spend 20-30m retrying. there are 2 sequences where you use it, and you only have to use the extension cord once across both! i'm playing on normal but this doesn't seem like something hard mode would modify. basically i'd be hard pressed to say the vacuum gameplay adds up to 5 minutes, and i was playing it pretty casually

yeah i'm not particularly good at combat, but my one experience with a no-debuff titan tells me you do not need to be worried about that level of difficulty level sync or not. plus you're forced halfway into hard mode w/o itemsYtlaya posted:I feel like beating the un-debuffed summons is going to be one of those extreme gamer challenges and not comparable with any normal fights. agreed, and imagine it's also an easier fight endgame which probably works well for folks who want to roll through the main quest and not do world stuff but still get the summons CapnAndy posted:I have no loving idea, but it definitely wasn't in Remake or InterMISSION. You need your ATB to, y'know, do things, so if there's something that needs doing right now... spend that poo poo. Especially on abilities or anything that doesn't cost MP. Fights that take less time are fights that take less resources and do less damage that needs to be healed also with resources. also agree with this take-- unless you're fine with a battle playing out with mostly normal attacks the only reason you should really be letting anyone's ATB hit 2 is because they have a skill that requires it stuker fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Mar 1, 2024 |

Jezza of OZPOS posted:Just got yuffie. Still not sure I can be bothered taking a break to play intermission especially BC I just opened up the crows nest. Is there a good tldr of intermission anywhere? yuffie goes to midgar a little bit prior to the sector 7 plate drop, meets a "normal" avalanche cell and another ninja from wutai named sonon. they go to shinra tower as the plate drop is being planned to steal the "ultimate materia" only to learn it doesn't exist (fighting scarlet on the way), then a guy from dirge of cerberus (nero) shows up for a really annoying boss fight and kills sonon following it (he's the guy you see in her flashbacks pushing her into an elevator). there's a bit of work establishing the non-shinra factions like remake started and rebirth has continued i played intermission right before rebirth dropped and had a good time with it, but i would be surprised if you're missing more than yuffie characterization and a few cameos (both of which are good, yuffie is good) stuker fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Mar 5, 2024 |
