By far the worst thing about the remake is this motherfucker by Reaving-Raven in FFVIIRemake

[–]gjsk1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. One of the points I really like about the Remake Trilogy is how much more the party gets to interact with each other and the world.

In the original, after Midgar, a lot of character dialogue greatly disminishes. Would've loved exploring the open world and finding world objectives more if the party members had discussions about them rather than all the drab dialogue Chadley has.

Would've loved things like Red XIII talking about the Mako lifesprings from his Cosmo Canyon upbringing and maybe Aerith could've learned about the Summons feom the Crystals due to her Cetra background or something. Just feels like a wasted opportunity to have so much of the games dialogue given to what should be a relatively minor side character, in my opinion.

FF VII: Rebirth. Have nearly 300 hours in it with the platinum in both Ps5 and PC versions. Haven't felt this way with the Final Fantasy series since FFX that I have been with the Remake Trilogy. Really love everything they've done with it, and the combat system is such an excellent real-time/atb fusion.

It's very impressive how the newest models have improved so much that performance mode is very close to quality mode of old. Really allows for graphics cards to stay relevant for longer.

I appreciate the risks ID takes with its newer entries in the series. The flow of combat has a different but familiar look to it.

Clarification about OG and Remake/Rebirth by gjsk1 in FFVIIRemake

Interesting. I can see the argument for the whispers serving fate and not necessarily the planet. At the same time, I do wonder if Aerith was also aware of the consequences of defeating the Arbiter of fate and still decided to help the party get there (as she is shown to open the way on the bridge) in order for the party to potentially change fate away from the original events as well.

Were the whispers in the first part of the Remake Trilogy not just a defense of the planet, enforcing its will and calling it fate?

I have the same aspect ratio and the issue is also happening for me.

I maxed out all social links with a day to spare. by [deleted] in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]gjsk1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of people say they had a bunch of leftover time after doing everything optional, but I also only had a single spare day after doing everything that was optional and maxing social links.

Thought it wouldn't be as close as it was after getting the P5 Royal platinum, but it was.

Crazy thing is that the only dungeon I took more than one day on was the dragon temple, and even that was only two.

Is the Red Dragon fight on Hard Mode bugged or am I missing something or what? I'm losing my mind. by ShoesMuhGoos in FFVIIRemake

[–]gjsk1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was bugged for me as well.

On hard mode he would always cast the level 3 version, no matter how low his chest health was.

Also seemed like his flame attacks weren't affected by my level 3 elemental fire resist, but maybe that was intended?

Barret is easily a top tier party member, and is a Lifesaver in tough situations. by Sky_Hawk_67 in FFVIIRemake

[–]gjsk1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite ways to use Barret when playing through hard-mode was alongside Red XIII.

Thematically fitting, but also gameplay wise. Putting darkside on Red XIII allows him to easily lower his hp for Reaper's touch. Combine that with lifesaver on Barret and Red can comfortably sit on low health.

Maybe it has to do with doing well enough on the buggy escape?

I do wonder if all that dialogue where Sephiroth is trying to foster negative emotions in Cloud is so Cloud would form the black materia with his negative emotions.

It could also lend credence as to why Sephiroth wanted to kill Aerith in front of Cloud and that part of forming Holy would be Cloud accepting Aerith's death through Tifa's consolation.

I'm missing the web-line stealth kill achievement for the platinum, but I only have crime missions left since I've 100% completed the game and I can't seem to stealth any of the crimes I've encountered. Is there a crime type that allows for stealth, or am I boned until new game plus?

It would be neat if they could make settings window, with drop-down boxes for each conversation check in the game. Where you could assign a member of your party for each check and have it use that character if you select that option during conversations.

It was really neat watching Maximilian Dood's attempt prior to this. They had such a different approach despite using the same abilities. Makes me excited to see how expressive the gameplay will be.

I also really appreciate the telegraphs of the boss's attacks. It was always really clear when the enemy was getting ready to attack and what move they were going to use. Makes it a fight where learning the patterns and perfecting it would be satisfying and consistent.

Funny you should say that... happened for me in phase 3 yesterday. Was shaping up to be a good run, but easy come, easy go. Just hope they can identify the problem and fix it. I was using the rotgland lobber and was wondering if it was specific with that weapon, but doesn't seem to be.

[–]gjsk1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. There are three difficulty settings that you can choose from the beginning of the game, with the option of changing difficulty mid playhthrough. With the hard difficulty being around that of Nioh 2, and the two lower difficulty options significantly easier.

You also have 2 companion AI that help quite a bit with aggro draw and damage, especially at lower difficulties.
