I half want to play, and half don’t and just want to watch Vinesauce play instead. Having to buy a PS5 for the game is a tough pill to swallow.

I like Barret because he's low maintenance.

All the other starting characters require varying degrees of complex direct control to fully take advantage of them. Tifa has her Unbridled Strength stuff, Red has his guarding to build his Y gauge, Aerith has her zones and now the stuff with Fleeting Familiar as part of her movement.

I find it's hard for me to mentally handle more than one "complex direct input" character in a party.

Yeah as much as I like Rebirth I find combat to be very micromanage-y. It’s been years since Remake came out and I’m still not comfortable with the combat loop. I never really “got” it like I did the original. Maybe I’m just missing something?

Is there an ingame combat/battle tactics tutorial? I am deeply garbage at the combat and would appreciate some practice and review.

I might switch to maining Aerith full-time. Something about melee combat in this game just doesn’t gel with me. Or should I be regularly swapping control between characters?

I guess I should practice using them. I just kinda never see anything happen when I use stuff like Counterfire or whatever.

Freaking chapter 13 took like 5 hours to beat. Anyone who has beaten the game remember how long the final chapter took? Wanna see if I can finish the story off tonight.

I knew the game would end eventually, but learning that I’m already more than halfway through is…:negative:

Whaaaat the gently caress is going on with Alexander. drat thing is tanky as gently caress. Maybe I should try an all-lightning build?

How do you raise weapon level? I’m a little confused on what “upgrading” weapons means, because as far as I can tell there’s just a couple slots for bonus skills for each weapon.

It happens passively as you gain SP.

Then is there a way to gain SP other than leveling up and folio items? And what’s the deal with the not-materia for each weapon?

I’m reaching the end of Chapter 10, and I’m starting to realize that we’re not getting Vincent or Cid yet. :smith:

In fact, this might seem greedy, but I still don’t feel like there’s enough in this game. I did get spoiled on one thing, that apparently this game ends around the Temple of the Ancients or something? Which is a little disappointing, I would have liked to at least get to the Northern Crater. There’s still so much we haven’t gotten to.

I think it helps that they clearly know what parts of FF7 were the most memorable to people and were dedicated to capturing those parts in some form. The inclusion of Test 0 alone is such an immensely obscure in-joke.

Holy gently caress I just read up on this and that is loving amazing, I love when they go all out on obscure callbacks like that.

Revisiting the Gold Saucer as part of the end of Chapter 11 and goong through the big story beats there, I just realized something: have all the Zack sequences taken place while Cloud was asleep?

It’s date night and oh my god this version of the play.

On the one hand, Aerith best girl. On the other hand, Nanaki best boy. On the third hand, I totally wanna pick Barret just to see what happens.

This is such a sadistic choice. :laffo:
