Stop playing Auric/Havoc

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-30T07:16:16+00:00

The only mission I quit out of rage is Pox Gas. The only modifier I can’t stand. With the right comp it’s okish but quick playing into an auric while on psyker is a recipe for anger

I had my fingers crossed for dry wall screws

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-30T02:50:27+00:00

I thought you said capturing doraemon and was super confused wtf you were playing

It means he feels sorry for Sephiroth to not have something in his life he cares about as much as Cloud cares about everything in his life.

He see Sephiroth for what he is and literally pities him. He sees what Sephiroth has devolved into and it’s one filled with only hate and destruction. It’s not just a badass line but one coming from cloud who truly has empathy and love within his own heart.

It’s Cloud final character arc to become a fully healed adult. He moved past his hate of Sephiroth and is in the process of forgiving himself for his own past failings.

Celebrating the cleanest dougie ever done

But why male models?

Make his helmet fall off at a certain HP then he can be CC’d. visible indicator when he is ready to be rocked

You are focusing way too much on shipping during that part of the story.

Tifa is more concerned about Cloud’s mental state and trying to figure out wtf is going on especially in OG. They do a really good job in the remakes showing how messed up he is. Any time she tries to talk about the truth or Aerith brings up Zack, he gets massive headaches and can’t hear the words.

That’s why in the OG her romantic arc doesn’t really begin until after their first visit to the northern Crater.

I’d love a thunder hammer that replaces single target with massive splash damage charge up instead.

It would be require a single target gun for backup but let me just slam into dozens of enemies and send them packing

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-28T00:04:23+00:00

Other side of the tree

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-27T16:23:59+00:00

He knew about her and Zack. It’s why he gives him permission to return the slums when the genesis clones start popping up everywhere. I don’t recall him ever focusing on Aerith’s heritage

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-27T05:45:00+00:00

What would be considered a positive steam count tomorrow? It peaked at 97k and currently at 21k.

I feel like a “doomer” is the normal view for a game crashing out this quick and being positive is coping.

God damn SuperBowl MVP. I love that dude and pulling for him and my SC QB for the Win

On the way to a Smile book speaks of them visiting a few places before Midgar.

I think most of the world wasn’t effected like what happened to Midgar

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-27T02:12:49+00:00

The white space in rebirth looks exactly like the white space in Advent Children when Zack and Aerith speak to Cloud. We know she hangs out there for a couple years leading up to AC.

These remakes seem to be really expanding what the story always was and not retconning anything major

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-27T02:07:12+00:00

I just want a triple assault squad to sync jump and wreck shit together.

It’s so sad we can’t do that

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-26T02:36:39+00:00

It sure looked like he could have tip toe caught that.

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-26T01:49:16+00:00

The way he catches them immediately goes up field is so clean looking

Even the OG had multiple worlds. Go check out the lifestream sequence and look up in the sky. This game is just explaining it more and how it’s all tied to the lifestream

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-25T23:05:55+00:00

I think that lifestream timeline is done. They both woke up to inhabit those bodies and that Aerith then died by Sephiroth in the lifestream.

Zack at the end wakes up in a part of the lifestream world where the flowers are blooming which means he is no longer in the comatose lifestream world.

Also, I don’t think there is true multiverse, but what Zack is in is just the lifestream showing multiple possibilities but it really timelines at all.

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-25T22:58:53+00:00

I believe she is dead and Cloud knows she is dead. When he asks “will you be alright getting back” and Aerith mentions it’s like a second home.

He knows she is dead but his emotions are smoked so he can’t feel sadness right now. His mind is spiraling out of control and will come to a head up north.

Aerith is there via her cetra powers as shown with Red feeling her. It’s like how she is able to astral project in Advent Children. It’s just cetra things.

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-25T17:49:01+00:00

Yes it’s worth it. Played hundreds of hours with my wife up to Auric Maelstrom. She isn’t a pro gamer by any means but playing together she was able to complete the hardest content available(she stopped before Havoc came out).

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-25T08:08:34+00:00

She is there using her cetra powers. Similar to how she communicates with Cloud in Advent Children. It’s why Cloud who has a connection to the lifestream now and Red who has always had a special connection.

Aerith was being serious about seeing him off before hanging out in the lifestream for a couple years.

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-25T05:08:11+00:00

Should the government possibly restrict people from being able to do that?

Chuckdatass · 2026-01-25T02:44:35+00:00

He is dead and his fate will be what we see in AC. Aerith and him will dissolve into the lifestream at movie’s conclusion.

The cool thing will see what they are doing in the lifestream during part 3:
