I can't wait to see Sephiroth rebirth ending spoilers smash the buster sword. In the trailer it's heavily damaged.

Thinking of playing this section as a first timer is wild. Seeing Tifa's reactions without knowing that instead of her thinking forward in the story its her going "Cloud wasn't there how does he know this?!".
Wondering why one of the guards sound so familiar, wondering why Cloud is so chipper. Maybe first time people will think it's because he's so young and he got so stiff after this happened.


Yeah let's just say that part 2 will start to address what Cloud went through between Nibelheim and present day and you get the full story in part 3. He's gone through a lot of poo poo. Every final fantasy 7 main character has significant heartache in their backstory. But Cloud easily got the worst of it.

Edit: I misread your post.

I see what Maximilian Dood from Youtube was saying about this demo having a pretty significant combat challenge compared to the previous title. I'm a fan. I hope this keeps up. It's exactly why I'm going to play on Dynamic difficulty.

The scoring on the Piano is loving insanity.

I got 80 great, 50 good, 4 misses 0 Bad.

Rank: C


Baby that's a B+. That's a B at worst. Lets just call it an A.

On a related note, I despise the adaptive triggers implementation on the sit-up minigame. So unnecessary.

I really need the option to turn it off. I'd love to get that minigame done but that's not happening.

Fantastic advice, thank you.

Aerith feels like the hardest to build ATB with, I dunno what the secret is there.

This is two fold.

How to get faster ATB with Aerith

1. Use Tempest (hold Square) and try to keep it going. The little turret buddy that follows her around gives ATB every attack.

2. Radiant Ward makes her invincible when casting spells, but also when she's standing in it her attacks are much more powerful and give a lot more ATB.

I love the running gag that moogles make characters virally say "Kupo" so much.

Reo posted:

Every time I look over while my partner is playing this game, they are either slowly pushing a crate, doing a stealth section where if you're seen you start over, or both at once.

That's kind of an amazing coincidence considering a 100 hour game has 4 of those that are about 8 minutes each?

This is basically what I did, plus using a couple ballistas.

I don’t really understand how the mini game actually works, because I tried the same tactic a few times in a row and the amount of damage my units could take before they died seemed weirdly random.

At the top right is the "rock paper scissors" graph that explains what unit counters what.

Oh that's fun. Outside of the main story, Max Mittelman recorded every line of audio for Red-13 twice.

Outside of looking up which quests reward them, there appears to be no indicator as to what side quests give SP progession items or gate other quests/areas.

This. but if you look at the quests page, an associated character will show up on the sidequest that tends to hint rewards / reputation will go to them.

I love that Red 13 is literally a dog, and he specifically calls out that losing focus when he spots a meal is his fatal flaw. Like a dog.

It has come to my attention that the chief complaint about this game among some of the review outlets is that there's, uh, too much game in it, I guess,

Hey man some peoples opinions are just really loving bad and the moment you hear someone say "There is too much game" in a long form RPG like FF7 you need to immediately realize they don't know what they're talking about and instantly have anything they say go in one ear and out the other.

Does Reno even show up in this game? I haven't beaten the game yet but he's been missing from a couple spots now where he showed up in the original so I'm starting to wonder. I know his Japanese VA died a few years ago which might have caused them to shelve him for now.

Reno's japanese voice actor passed away so he's mostly sitting out Rebirth. So they're going to find a new voice actor, and give Reno an expanded role in part 3.

Fedule posted:

It's bungled completely

Hey Fedule, I hate to be the one to tell you but this is a skill issue, not a poor design issue. You're in the final section of the game. The fights are going to get harder and they're going to expect you've been paying attention

I recommend doing more sidequests, Chadley development and taking some more time to make a "build" that plays to your character's strengths.

For example, Yuffie already counters elements with her ninja magic skill so I recommend debuff and passive buff materia on her because it maximizes her capabilities. Aerith is fantastic at magic so having elemental magic materia and synergy materia is excellent on her. I'm a big fan of Synergy+Wind and Lighting for her.

As for that fight itself, Steadfast Block is a fantastic defensive materia that gives you big defensive and ATB bonuses for just blocking. Allowing you to fight very defensively.

Jimbot posted:

Would it work with the fire+ice or lighting+wind materia too or only single elemental?

It not only works, but the character will choose the most appropriate spell. For instance Aerith will usually cast Aero but if something is strong to wind or weak to lightning, she will cast lightning. Same deal with elemental materia. I have Cloud setup with Elemental+Fire and Ice and he will choose the most appropriate element for whatever enemy he's fighting.
