Think I'm gonna have to get my weapons fully upgraded before doing these last 2 Shinra simulations.
That feeling when a Tonberry kills the party member with the Revive materia :(
had already killed the bomb as well, don't even know why Barrett was standing so close to it. Does anything block scourge, he's far too slow to dodge it
edit: watched a few videos, the strategy seems to be to just give everyone a shitload of upgraded HP Up materia

I didnt have problems with Leviathan. Kept Barrett at bay with a gun that focuses more on magic attack power so that boosts up healing, with cure + magnify so it heals everyone. Peppered Leviathan with Cloud, and Tifa. Equipped Tifa with two luck up materias to help with her crits and just had her keep unbridled strength up.
Get the ATB block materia on Barrett or Aerith btw, since one thing the CPU is good at is blocking, and that will keep his/her ATB bar high so you have cure handy.
So my party is usually
Cloud - All rounder + cure
Tifa - Speed + crit, Pure DPS
Barrett/Aerith - Glass cannon healer.

Last couple chapter of this game was so epic lol.
Barrett is the best character.
Also the rufus fight was stupid lol

The end chapters were sensational (but not the Rufus fight). Made up for the cringe I’m now skipping through on the second play through lol
Also ... seems like prayer and chakras will become valuable in hard mode.

Glad you enjoyed it man! Now the rest of the mods can hop off my dick - saying I'm hyping shit for no reason lol
Yeah, hard mode is a bit different in that you have to prepare more deliberately and shift to things like Pray and Chakra. Both skills are really good though. You're not 'losing' much by using them over cashing out gallons of MP for curaga. The biggest thing imo is knowing when to use Barrier (Manawall) and Magnify to defend yourself against the more brolic enemies.

I never had issues with the combat, but I’m too boomer for a lot of the shit in the early game. Anything that dealt with sexuality was bad lol. Barrett was too forced. By the end of the game he’s my favorite character. Chapter 12 or so on for me was ace. The ending chapters were just amazing though.
A lot of “why do we have mismatched weapons for obvious character rolls” and “this ability materia is lame” stuff is an after thought in hard. Shit ... revival necklaces all of a sudden make sense. Should be fun. First reactor is already wrecking me lol

Imagine living in Aerith's house. Game needs a photo mode just for the free camera.
Did the 6-star Shinra challenge, just got the 7-star one left. Will play through on Hard until I've got the materia and weapon upgrades where I need them to be for it. Aside from the EKG cannon, none of the weapons with Reprieve are the ones that I prefer. Never really been a fan of multi-round challenges with no checkpoints between rounds, just find it frustrating having to go through the earlier ones multiple times.

Looking forward to starting it again on Hard, which goes to show how good the combat is.
Need to get my Prays and Chakras up, and look into buying more of them.

I’m not super far into hard, but so far, prayer is getting more use because it’s AoE. I would imagine as things start spewing poison that may change.
I’m digging hard. I also appreciate that they tried to ramp up difficulty without making enemies complete HP sponges. That being said, Magic is fun to use so resource starvation seems kinda counter intuitive in some ways.
It’s funny cause I’m running almost no str based weapons now. It’s all + elements and magic weapons for the boosts to starting MP. When I cast an base level spell I want it to damage. Again I’m sure that will change depending on situation, but it’s just a completely different approach in hard mode

Just beat it. One of my favourite games on the PS4.
Gonna go for the platinum, I think. Not looking forward to hard mode with no items and no MP regeneration though lol.

It’s not as bad as I thought so far. Breaking boxes helps.
The biggest change for me is optimizing for each battle as a necessity. The air burster was wrecking me.
I tried bahamut with only 2 people in my party lol 😂
By Fenderputty Go To PostOk so this Aerith level is stretching my magic lolaerith is strong as fuck
i don't even feel like i can do real damage without her tbh
original FF7 is on Green Man for 5 raheems. Saves me breaking out the ps1 or the old PC disc version wew.

One or two decent mods like remako.

This is accurate. The end was Much better than he implied though.
This really hit home:
“The old version you ground combat to get the story, in the new you grind story to get to the combat.”
The combat is good tho. Can’t wait to play again lol
By Laboured Go To PostReunion looks a bit too weird and remixed for my tastes.I mostly want the retranslation
Ending was wild. I am glad they did it although with Nomura at the helm it isnt going to make any damn sense.
Next iteration of this battle system needs gambits.

By Hitch Go To PostA basic version of them, sure.yeah just a basic version. The full thing isn't needed
The full thing, fuck no.
By Facism Go To PostStarted playing through the original. so much more grimy in it's style than i remember.Same.
Finished Midgar and now I'm at the backstory of Cloud.
Chapter 14 down on hard.
Bahamut down on hard now too. Two with Pray maxed out / everyone also with a cure / one with magnify on barrier / rest mp / hp or luck up / one attack spell
At about 50% I unloaded three limit breaks, staggered him and he was done. He alMost caught me with his beam not full enough on health even with manaward and barrier up he took out two guys and left me with very little of the last person. Thankfully one of the two with maxed revival.

Magnify pre hard mode: Heal or occasional attack
Magnify on Hard Mode: NOTHING BUT BARRIER
Pray pre hard mode: this is dumb
Pray hard mode: THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING SHIT EVER
I still wish they gave us more than one magnify Materia. Magnify Haste and barrier please.
