Arent you supposed to be able to pull synergy abilities in the synergy tutorial that you can do on Chadley?

I can pull the skills with R1 + button, but the abilities never become available at all. What am I missing?

Edit: doesn't help I'm constantly using Cloud, his Synergy points are enough but the other characters aren't. Only him was building synergy points :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I dont fucking believe it. I was on last stage of last boss fight. Like an hour of fighting and I died… and there were like 3 options “start from before current battle, this battle of before”
I chose from current battle and it fucking restarted the whole thing. Not only this stage.
Fuck this piece of shit game. Yeah of course I wanted to waste a fucking hour… I want to die.
Like seriously who designed this checkpoint system and 20 stage battles should burn in hell. Goty my ass

Then I quit to main menu to see if it maybe loads me back and it takes me EVEN FURTHER back to the beginning of the stage.
I don’t remember being so mad in years. Holy fuck what a shitty game

Yeah it can get confusing for sure... Always choose the top option to go back to the closest to where you were.

The other options are pretty much if you want to go back a little further to adjust material or things like that or redo the battle to see how many hit points you can maintain or mana or whatever.

Well I was not dying enough to get to know those options. Game was not that hard. And that one option was never there… seemed to make sense for me They introduced it for last fight…

In short. A checkpoint prompt ruined a climax for 70 hours of playing. I am not getting the same awe inspiring climax playing again …

Thanks yeah I’m his could’ve been clearer in the game. Especially that deshell is level2 of that materia. And it doesn’t leave a lot of room for free play. I beat him but I do feel I did it wrong and deshell is a must.
Welcome to Final Fantasy. Always use your offensive debuffs when you can. It will make bosses and tanky enemies so much easier to deal with.

As for protect, I found it strange you can cast protect on enemies. It does say you can’t cast protect on deprotect resistant enemies or something. Why would they even give me an option to protect enemy
It is done that way to punish players who don't pay attention when they cast spells.

Don't feel bad it got me too.

Yeah, uninstalled it at the last boss and I don't think I'll finish it.

So here's what happened: hour long fight, when I arrive at what I imagine is the last phase I die and there are a bunch of options: retry from before this battle, retry from this battle, retry from checkpoint and go back to tile screen. I click on retry from this battle, of course... And it throws me to the start of the entire gauntlet. I searched online and I was supposed to select retry from BEFORE this battle. How does this make sense? Any reasonable person would think this would bring you back to before you entered the entire battle.

And yes, I'm glad it flopped.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I literally did the same thing, and replayed the battle a second time and won. 🤷‍♂️

Hard agree though, that menu needs revamped asap

I highly doubt it’s actually flopping in the literal sense. So far we’re seeing it’s performing on par with XVI outside of Japan.

Just redownload it and will play tomorrow, I was just a bit angry. But it did sour me a bit on the climax of the game tho, that's true.

Sleep the mobs. Build synergy abilitirs, synergy=pressure=stagger. Goodluck. Have to retry 6 times till I get the timing right

Just a couple more tips for people struggling with this hard challenge, you can also use a synergy skill to suddenly warp an ally to you and save them from getting paralyzed by the scream attacks. Also every time the mindflayer teleports you will lose your lock on so wait and relock or you will probably be forced to target and wake the sleeping guys you are trying not to hurt

Firaga. I just beat him before your answer traditional brute force way.

but properly I should use deshell from enervation materia? I didn’t use this materia once… I have tons of other equipped but never felt the need for that one and forgot it.
Or would casting protect on enemy deprotect him too?
Breach will despell shell and I think manaward as well. Deshell will additionally lower its magic defense. I dont know if deshell gets rid of Manaward (it will get rod of shell). And breach is the first spell on the materia (its breach, then despell....but i kinda forgot the name of the materia haha. Despell you only need against stuff like haste, brave, faith, etc.)

If you want to do the entire protorelic sidequest you definitively want despell :D

Haha funny how this happens to so many people. Happened to me too. Someone slept while translating. How is anyone to know the difference between "this" battle and "current" battle.

The entire endboss fight is super easy, only the Sephi fight is minimaly challenging, but still super easy compared to the protorelic stuff and some of the harder VR missions. It did take away some of the momentum, which is a pitty. But I calmed down after a few minutes. It really doesnt take so long to do it again. About 10 minutes. Yes shitty, but again, I did way harder fights over and over again until I figured them out, so I was already used to that. Overall Endboss was almost a bit too easy.

Saying you're glad it flopped is pretty mean tbh. Many people worked extremely hard on this, you can see that there was a lot of love put into this game. Its not a cheap cash grab, it doesn't have any DLC, microtransactions, preditory monetization, gambling mechanics or anything like that. Its a labor of passion and we should all hope this game does well to send a signal to the industry that these games are still wanted by the market and can be successful.

Whether you like the game or not is another story, but don't wish for genuinely well made and consumer friendly games to flop. The industry lost enough talent the last year and this year alone. Even if you were mad when you said this, its just not a good headspace to be in if I am being honest. You would not want other people to talk about your work and your job like this, even if you made a slight mistake in bloody menu.

100% agree. Comments like that lack class.

Am I tripping or the chocobos in FFXV were able to sprint and jump at the same time (sometimes even fly)? Here everytime I press O to jump, the chocobo drifts while sprinting.

You could fly, or glide more precisely, with FFXV chocobos.
Even worse, i don't know why but i was convinced the chocobo you had could jump and glide in the Junon part of rebirth demo...
I spend all the time waiting for an upgrade or something that would make them fly but it never came.
 
I honestly think there’s an absolutely stupendous 35 hour game in here. When I got to Cosmo Canyon and see “more remnawave towers added” I just kinda sigh and decide it’s time for a break.

Thats the games biggest downfall imo, its long for the sake of being long, theres nothing wrong with having a more condensed game, in fact Remake nailed this perfectly imo

The drifting is awesome, you can maintain speed and make sharp turns. Really great for navigating once you get accustomed to it.

chocobos will have different powers by region
Chocobos have contextual "powers" depending on the region but with very limited use (except maybe the nibelheim chocobo) and they can't do what you could do in FFXV (jump and glide, and don't tell me about the cosmo canyon chocobo gliding it's extremely contextual and shitty).

How about some empathy you prick.

Anyway - you know or anyone if switching to easy to replay this fight will result in not unlocking something or trophies ?

The only trophy tied to difficulty is beating every chapter on Hard.

I played through Remake on Easy and whenever I decide to continue on with this one, itll stay on Easy. The only games that are worth the stress and challenge to me nowadays are From related.

Just dont do it. I dont see the problem here. I played some of the early Assassins Creed games and just did the story missions and thats fine. You do not HAVE to engage with any of the extra content. That content is for people who enjoy it and want to do it. If you want to focus on the main story you are free to do so. The game can easily be completed without all the side activities and you can always go back and do them later, even after you finished the game via chapter select. Some people in here have also done this.

Dont let your brain tell you that you have to do something just because its there. Take it at the pace you want to do it in.

Yup, they're all pretty much scripted interactions, other than the nibelheim one (which made the region 100x better). It would've made the game a lot better if the Chocobo skills were more free... I mean, gliding is pretty much standard in open world games, so they could've implemented it better. Same for jumping and whatnot.

Oh wow there is a super niche easter egg for the "WELL" informed. Its not really a spoiler but I put it in spoiler tags anyway, if you dont want to see anything from the corel prison area. Its an easter egg about a debug fight in the OG that was also in the corel prison

I have a feeling the original was there intentionally as a homage to Murphy's Ghost from Wizardry
