And Part 2 probably won't even see the light of day until 2025 ;_;
But HD Cosmo Canyon and Golden Saucer will make the wait worth it

I'm actually thinking they may go full peanut brain and try and link other final fantasy games to this. neo-midgar looking waaay too much like a FF8 garden and the more of the FFX conspiracy shit coming into play along with the cross dimensional sephiroth lolz
don't care tho. no ff game is too good for fukkery

about half way through chapter 13 now. game starts to congeal better once you meet aerith, though chapter 11 was pretty blah
also just an absolutely godlike soundtrack, might actually fucking buy the damn thing

Just unreal how they improved upon the FF7 set so much while adding stuff that's just as awesome or even better while nailing the themes

I may have been underestimating Tifa
Just done her solo vr thingy, gave her the Sonic Strikers for a bit of magic/physical balance, element-fire link and Steadfast Block
Only had to heal once in all five rounds. She just applies constant Pressure, can dodge any projectile, outrun charge attacks, and the damage she does to staggered enemies with Unbridled Strength is crazy.
Think I'll make her my new go-to when fighting solo enemies, don't know what to do with Cloud though since I've given Barrett all of the magic.

Cloud will always have a role due to his cleave attacks, counters, and chonk damage
But Tifa w/ Parry and Enemy Skill is the boss killer. Even without stagger her damage is dumb.

Cloud's 'Ascension' limit break is stupidly powerful. Been taking huge chunks off Boss health bars in one move.
300% stagger done
Finally figuring out how unbridled strength works. Do you do more damage with normal attacks when you have ATB charges available?
Levelling up Revival materia is painful

Surprisingly not a game-destroying little twat
Hojo and Corneo creep levels are off the charts. Love it.

By Laboured Go To PostHow is Chadley?He's just a little dweeb vendor. Doesn't even call cloud a pussy ass bitch so he'll never be a top merchant.

Very disappointed in Chadley rn. He was the chosen one.
Defo one of those weirdos who'll be telling everyone VR is on the cusp of going mainstream for decades to come
Very strange decision to throw you into fights with a changed party, without letting you change materias until you've already failed. Also wish you could make loadouts, just finished a long section where you keep switching party members

By Hitch Go To PostDefo one of those weirdos who'll be telling everyone VR is on the cusp of going mainstream for decades to comeI should've mentioned it earlier, but on many of the cutscenes between groups, there will be a prompt in the lower right hand corner of the screen showing the square button that says menu. Hold the button down and it'll allow you to access your menu at the end of the cut scene and leading into the next fight.

The option is there but its easy to miss because its not always available
edit: you also mentioned tifa / unbridled strength earlier. apparently people aren't realizing that her damage increases and her normal combo extends depending what level you're at lol. using unbridled strength twice in a row also is a free way to generate ATB for other party members if you have the right materia setup as well.
Is the square prompt not only when you've already seen the cutscene? I've only had to use it twice, tried holding it when I could see one of the solo battles coming but it wouldn't let me

thanks for the detailed reply DY I appreciate you. Honestly the more I think about the ending and that last chapter in general the more I fucking love it. Absolutely brilliant stuff
Cloud and Tifa were off the fucking chain over the last couple of chapters, pretty sure I crit for 9999 and 18000 like twice
By Hitch Go To PostFinally figuring out how unbridled strength works
By Laboured Go To PostHow is Chadley?endearing and a sight for sore eyes. Midgar's essential worker, no matter what happens, he's always keeping it real and is up for VR games.

By DY_nasty Go To PostI went from thinking Barret was trash to dreading any party setup where I didn't have himLifesaver
Normal shots into Overcharge into Maximum Fury into Limit Break 
Did you guys set your shortcuts up? I really should get around to doing that for Cura at least

Man, I can only imagine how ridiculous other fights in FF7 are going to be if they keep this development team together
obviously the weapons, ofc. But Barret v Dyne is gonna be absolute madness, the RETURN to Midgar, Wutai misadventures, Cloud and Sephiroth vs random dragon minding its own business? Golden Saucer tournaments and Chocobo Racing? My God. The potential.
I really hope the Turks get their own spinoff. They've earned it.

By Hitch Go To PostNormal shots into Overcharge into Maximum Fury into Limit BreakOnly with Tifa because ATB Boost REQUIRES you to use the shortcut for it.

Its actually quite absurd what Tifa can do with stuff like Enemy Skill and Parry. Run up to anything, parry loop, laugh, ATB Boost for 2 meter, Chi Trap + Icy Aura, parry loop, Unbridled Strength x 2, [initiate anime combos]
Just realized the composer from Ace Combat is on the soundtrack as well as the FF13 ppl. That explains the random af godlike electric guitar out of nowhere lmao
Just listened to a little sample of the Airbuster fight music. Fuck me now I feel like I need to run outside and high kick someone into orbit.

and don't worry you'll do that in game
Waiting for PC.
Also no way I'm playing it in the living room with the camera focussed on Tifa's abs at nearly all times.

The way stuff lines up perfectly with boss phases, dialogue, and themes is too good for words
By DY_nasty Go To PostMan, I can only imagine how ridiculous other fights in FF7 are going to be if they keep this development team togetherThe fights against the weapons are going to mental. Fuck we might even get to fight Sapphire and get to use Junon’s cannon to blow its head off. And shit Jenova Absolute? Bizzaro Sephiroth as basically a raid boss with a bangin’ remix of Birth of a God? Safer Sephiroth and his 17 minute Super Nova? Fuck. FF7 has so many good moments.

Hope SE puts RDR2 money in the sequels

Spoilerz...?
By Xpike Go To Posti fully expect no other parts of ff7r to come out before 2030if I had to guess, I'd say in 2 years max.
-they already started working on it during 2019 (confirmed)
-they weren't planning on splitting it until recently
-they won't need to switch engines again midway through or create a combat system from scratch
so expect efficiency
By Yurt Nomura Go To Postif I had to guess, I'd say in 2 years max.I would take this bet. Not even counting Square Enix time, after Midgar is when the game actually starts. They have to actually build more than the single location.

FF16 in 2022. FFVIIR2 in 2023.
-Like last gen, two years in, current gen console sales will slow to a crawl so I think part 2 will be next gen only. Square won't waste money on ps4/Xbone versions two or three years from now. Part 2 will probably be bigger in scope and size and those next gen assets will take time.
-What makes you think they won't switch back to the Luminous engine now that it's complete? the only reason why KH3 and FFVIIR are on UE4 is because Luminous wasn't finished. I doubt that Square will want to continue to pay Unreal royalties.
-Square announced it would be episodic in December 2015.
what are they working on since 2019 then? It's absolutely for next gen. Maybe they already switched engines!
rodeo if I lose the bet and Corona permitting I'm still alive (unlikely) I'll buy an Xbox and finish [insert Gears of War] sequel on the hardest difficulty
if you lose you're gonna have to finish Elden Ring (GRRM permitting) using banana peels
2023 sounds reasonable too
why's there an FF16 -_-

By Yurt Nomura Go To Postwhat are they working on since 2019 then? It's absolutely for next gen. Maybe they already switched engines then?2019 was like 4 months ago. They might still be in pre production for part 2. They could have been working on part 2 since 2018 and I still wouldn't bet on it shipping till 2023.

this is all based on Nomura saying "We've already begun working on the next one", I'm hoping he didn't mean pre-production and that everything is in order.
I'm hoping he didn't mean farming it out to a shithouse like CC2 or whatever, who did fuck all for 2 years.
considering how they strenched a 4 hour part of the game into 50 hours i fully expect part 2 to not even have cath sith or cid
