No one said that it was difficult. It was just tedious AF and took longer than it should.
ANYWAY i don't know if this has been posted but i have just seen it and thought that it was very cute:

I'm a few hours in and damn, this is definitely the most surreal experience I've ever had playing a video game. Playing all these moments and areas from the original game with visuals that outclass Advent Children, while seamlessly battling enemies on the streets with the perfect modern Final Fantasy combat system, with great new versions of the original music, and with an awesome absurdly large sword on your back....it's all just clicking together to create something that feels like the ultimate modern Final Fantasy experience. Something we've been waiting almost two decades for.

Just made it to the Shinra building. Everyone says this final part is very good so really hyped to continue playing.
But what kind of DLC do you expect? I mean, they can't advance on the story because they will save that for chapter 2. So maybe more content in Midgar?
It would be sick if they do some kind of independent prequel chapters with Zack. I mean they already have plenty of the city and enemies assets...

Please enlighten me I also have troubles with this.
Set top one to dpad, second one to whichever you prefer, and then there is a nother option below that for being able to freely switch targets during combos, I have that enabled as well. It's a bit more of a chore to manage the camera this way, and you have to take your hand off of the movement controls to target switch, but I'm not a fan of how the lock on system's camera operates so I'm trying this out.
I think he means entire sets at once.

Not sure what they would add exactly. Maybe some sort of made up side story in Midgar. I'm expecting them to come up with some way to get more money.

lol weird. Yeah just switching one materia is easy and the control is always listed right on screen.

I want a battle log parser so I can see what kind of damage I was doing in a fight. All these numbers flying everywhere - is hard to tell what's what.

But we get an NPC chat log instead! Turned that off last night, was driving me nuts during some side mission cut scenes.

But nothing substantial. Thats my bet.

A pirate walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender brings the beer and cant help notice a steering wheel in his pants and asks. "whats with the steering wheel in your pants "? The pirate responds “AARRRR its driving me nuts”

Ha I can see why that stuff would drive someone crazy, personally I like hearing what they say. They say some interesting stuff... like one instance at the Sector 5 train station, this cranky old dude shouts in a irritable tone “Why would anyone blowup a goddamn reactor for anyway?” Or something along those lines, idk why but I chuckle because it really shows Avalanche are batshit crazy sometimes to these folks.

I mean I like hearing what the NPCs say as well, but when I'm in the middle of a mission and listening to the quest giver talk, I shouldn't be seeing a running ticker of things people around me are saying, I found it obnoxiously intrusive at times. Really it should even be muting the NPC speech a little bit when I'm talking to someone as part of a quest, I was listening to one dude in Sector 5 tell me something about a quest and there was a non-stop stream of chat log updates, plus I can hear their audio, and I'm just trying to focus on the quest dude.

bullshit, this is called blind fanboysm just for the sake of it.
imagine cheering for devs who makes shitty choices for their games just because they are your favourite devs.
so people had to be happy for that unfinished mess called ff15 just because it was from square
doing that you only encourage them to do the same or worst for the next game.
Calm your tater tots there, buddy. You can call it whatever you want. The thing is...I think SE did a great job with this game. From the production to the narrative direction -- and the twist -- I loved all of it. If the game sucked I think you'd have more to rebuke. My original comment was more about (non-toxic) fan culture and supporting the devs through that lens. People don't disown their favorite sports teams because they lose a game, and people criticize their favorite teams all the time. "Trade that player? How dare they!" For example, FFXV did suck, and if we used that game as a metric to not purchase any more SE games...well, here we are, still supporting them. Call that whatever you want, blind fan-ism or whatever. I feel like this is the game FFXV should have been.
I think SE is going to do whatever they want to regardless of how they're encouraged or discouraged by people who purchase and play their games. This game in particular started a lot of really good conversations about presenting a game with a very unique narrative direction and what it actually means to "remake" a game. Call me a blind slavering fangirl if you want, I enjoyed this game very much by its own merits and look forward to the next one. I'd chalk that up as a win for SE.

what funny is people even had similliar tendency towards anything made by rockstar and cdpr, and will blindy vehemently defend it but nobody bats an eye
The 10,000 people that buy platinumgames usually talk it up like they're perfect developers too whose games have no flaws too.

Every Platinum games I play I have a looong list of nitpicks with.
But each game still gives me a far longer list of things they did right that I just keep wishing other devs would learn from.
FF7 has so much it could learn from Astral Chain.

Anyone found a way to make the synergy materia useful? I feel it's kinda worthless, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Poison is the best use for it. Put it on Tifa or Cloud so they can more easily assist with Flying enemies (poison is tough for flyers to dodge) when Aerith or Barret nuke them. Tifa is the best carrier generally since she accrues passive ATB faster than everyone else.

Absolutely not true, Rockstar and CDPR get plenty of criticism from their fans. GTA4 esp got it bad. It's like people are blind to the criticism some games get and only ever pay attention to the fanantics.
There's many who pointed out the flaws in TW3, despite how much they loved it, myself included.

Wall Market looks so cool. I'm still not tired of slow walking around every environment and just soaking in all of the world design, really amazing stuff. This game puts FF15 to shame.
The materia shop dude is awesome! It instantly brought back the image of the original in my mind which I haven't seen or thought about in years...they nailed this, I looked up the original and the interior in almost exactly the same. So much attention to detail everywhere. I love that the linked materia slots actually show up on the weapons too.

Hm, I just realized that HH is not immune to sleep or stop.
It probably would have made that fight a lot easier on hard mode lol.

Also, does anyone ever use Cloud's ability Disorder? I feel like triple slash is better for overall DPS.

yep i agree lot of people pointed out the flaw, but amount of defender is sometime is ridiculous

I used it, but not as much as triple strike because whilst he's attacking you can swap player. Triple strike with cloud, swap player, chi then star shower with tifa, swap player, and then maximum fury with barret Got me through alot of hard mode. Arieths a goddess with magic and duel casting.

I think disorder is best used with another ability or to exit a combo into operator stance. Get that berserker buff using punisher stance then use braver or infinity's end if there's time.
I'll follow with triple strike instead if there's a lot of enemies.

Really love the game so far, only complaints:
- lots of sequences that go like this:
short cutscene.... walk for 2 mins..... short cutscene.... walk for 4 mins..... short cutscene....
That is pretty annoying in some spots, breaks the rythm of the game.
- no materia switching during battle
they keep cylcing party members and often I run into an opponent with an elemental weakness I don't have covered in any of my slots.
I lose the fight, reload in, switch the materia and the fight ends up being a cakewalk.
In general, weaknesses and staggering are a little too OP for my taste. Feels like I'm playing a Pokemon game.
- lots of "empty calorie" space in the levels
they really padded the gamelength by making you cover a ton of ground with barely anything happening.
All the free roam sections (so far) consist of a cluster of shops and special POIs. Game makes you run back and forth over and over again. Not much happens along the way.
IMO the slum sectors could have easily been 40% smaller.
Other than that, game's really really good.

I'd be OK with materia switching in battle, could have a penalty of using 2 full atb bars if you want to swap.
Kev Kev

as long as were aloud to swap multiple materia this is a great idea. if its only a limited amount per turn id just quit and start the fight over
recma12
Member
Yeah, or maybe turn the "materia switch ability" into a materia itself.
But that's just part of the problem IMO having the correct materia shouldn't make THAT MUCH of a difference.
Equipping the correct materia (even at the lowest level) can turn a fight from impossible to trivial.
IDK man, you normally only need one party member to have the correct materia and you're golden.
Would be much quicker to build up 2 ATB and switch mid fight.

I kinda really want to write something really long and heartfelt, but I currently dont have the time, so maybe later. But I feel like a have to say something about this game.
Like the original this game is very special to me. Rarely have I played a game or consumed any media that gripped me on so many levels. I had so much fun and went through so many emotions (the good kind) that this game became an instant master piece for me. I can see the flaws that are there, but I can not approach this game from a critical point of view. Because I really dont want to. When I played it, I was deeply immersed and was able to sink into this world and its characters. No amount of technical difficulties or small pacing issues could detract from my enjoyment. All I felt was Joy (or whatever emotion the game wanted me to feel for story reasons). And that is so rare these days. I felt almost child like. Going to bed thinking about this game and waking up early so I could play more of it. I'm happy this game exists, I'm grateful that I was able to experience and enjoy it the way I did. I'm glad I dont have to look at it with these critical eyes that have to piss and moan about everything. It reminded me of simpler times. I can only be thankful to all the people who worked their ass of to make this game become a reality and I hope many more people will find enjoyment with it.
Yeah, that is my super biased and blinded by fanboyism take on the FF7R. I'm just kind of happy
Also, I havent even said the worst thing. Proceed with caution:

yeah i noticed that too, but outside of that it looked so good lol
You know, FF7R actually tells you all of the status effect immunities and i'm so used to Final Fantasy (and JRPGs in general) COMPLETELY ignoring status effects when it comes to bosses that I didn't even think to try for 99% of the bosses in the game.
