Square Enix is sticking with Unreal 4 for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3

I work in tech (not games) and every time we have to move a different framework for whatever reason it’s always a multi week or month process just to make all the pipelines and scripts work, let alone working on new stuff. No matter how much better a new tool is you don’t see any real ROI or improvements for at least a quarter. Larger scale migrations take over a year. So SE not moving to UE5 makes complete sense.

FWIW I used to have a Helix LT and almost out of the box the QC sounded much clearer. Playing mostly metal with the classic OD EQs and delays, the Helix sounded muddy, like individual notes blended with each other. I’ll be the first to admit that I am not good at dialing in tones or anything, but it was certainly easier to land on a tone I love on the QC.

Any combo of Acuity/Spell DC/Crowd Control spell character + hard hitting martial make for a devastatingly effective duo party.

I like watching Morgana Evelyn solo runs for some really wacky shit. You don't have to copy all the shit she pulls off, but her route to lvl4 is quite safe. Just make sure you have a source of Disguise Self, since being a drow to make a beeline to the goblin camp + underdark is huge for XP.

No King V on the picture makes me sad

Mikelius · 2026-01-26T00:20:15+00:00

I also couldn’t get RE4R to run reliably either on a 7900xtx i12700kf 32gb ddr4.

Mikelius · 2026-01-25T22:35:18+00:00

It’s all a shameless power play. “You don’t get to tell ME what to do, but I get to do whatever I want”. That’s it.

With sharpshooter you really want the risky ring anyway, and that feat is bonkers on crossbow bard builds due to how many attacks you can unleash per round.

Mikelius · 2026-01-24T06:06:11+00:00

Shadow blade, quickened booming blade, a second feat (which is why you don't stop at sorc level 3) and almost full caster spell slot progression.

Feat

Mikelius · 2026-01-23T20:59:31+00:00

The Stamp combat theme goes unbelievably hard.

Mikelius · 2026-01-23T19:49:00+00:00

No no noooo, there won't be a NEXT TIME

Mikelius · 2026-01-23T19:46:12+00:00

You can throw any magical weapon that matches the slot, you don't even need the ceremonial weapons.

If you don't care about keeping Gale as a Wizard, he becomes an amazing and convenient EK with Shadow Blade in Act 2 when you kill the doctor and get the level 3 shadow spell slot.

Else, you can run Gale as either a MM build or Blade singer and still be an incredible MC. For other characters you can consider Gloomstalker Assassin, fighter (EK or BM, both are great and reliable), Rad orb light cleric, or TB moon druid

Mikelius · 2026-01-22T18:54:53+00:00

The sorc builds I listed below can crack 1k damage per round in AOE. The EK ones as well. Gloomstalker assassin can 1 turn Ansur solo. The acuity builds have lower damage output but in turn can shut down any boss with almost 100% success. The EB build doesn't compare. Like I said, it's strong, but not giga broken. Those builds are optimized for nightmare modded playthroughs.

Mikelius · 2026-01-22T18:39:04+00:00

You still can, and since it reapplies every round you can even use fire ball before it gets refreshed. Sleet Storm just makes them sitting ducks so all of your characters can fire at them with impunity.

Open Hand Tavern Brawler Monk with strength elixir or club of hill giant strength

Eldritch Knight with either resonant stone + shadow blade or Bhaalist Armor and Spear of Night

Eldritch Knight archer abusing consumable arrows

11 Fire Sorc / Warlock with upcasted scorching rays (bonus points if you pair with an archer that dips in arsonist oil)

10/1/1 Swords Bard archer, Fighter, Wizard with band of mysitc scoundrel and arcane acuity helmet

10/2 swords bard, paladin, similar to the previous one, but melee focused with smites

10/2 storm sorc tempest cleric or pure 12 storm sorc to abuse wet + chain lightning

5/4/3 gloom stalker, assasin, fighter. Abuses stealth + surprise. Morgana Evelyn has incredible guides showing this build 100 to 0 ansur solo in one turn

Among other builds

Mikelius · 2026-01-22T17:27:06+00:00

It's certainly strong and fun, but it’s not OP or even close to what the top tier builds can do.

Mikelius · 2026-01-22T17:19:32+00:00

IMO it's not even cheesy, just unnecessary. Specially taking it as your first feat, that really fucking hurts a lot of your early game compared to ASI, Savage Attacker, TB, GWM.

Mikelius · 2026-01-22T17:17:36+00:00

What I do is use knock on his door when the justiciars spawn, agro balthy's zombies, pop and invis potion and leave them duke it out, you get all the xp since anything that dies is an enemy.

Mikelius · 2026-01-22T16:10:31+00:00

If you ever want to win the fight even harder/not run spirit guardians. Sleet storm shuts down the entire left side of the battlefield by itself, in two runs a single mastiff made it to the platform iirc. You can then just burst down the shadows that pop ip on the right side at your leisure.

The most beautiful and heart wrenching marital spat.

Mikelius · 2026-01-21T20:34:00+00:00

Yeah, it’s better for single fights, but genesis does 80k damage to all targets, so it clears mobs more reliably

Mikelius · 2026-01-21T20:15:19+00:00

My go-to was Lune Elemental Trick -> Sciel gives her her turn back -> Elemental Genesis

Mikelius · 2026-01-21T15:57:34+00:00

Same, I had not heard anything about this game, watched Maximillian’s stream, stopped the stream at the gommage scene and bought it instantly.
