Im about 9-10 hours in and still really enjoying the game. My only complaint is the combat system sometimes seems way too hectic for me. Its incredibly difficult to see what bosses in particular are about to do because they're usually large and the ability warning is almost impossible to read because it's usually above them (ie off screen) the screen is usually filled with 5000 particle effects anyway.
It would be better too if the rest of the party was more effective when you're not controlling them. They build ATB soooo slow by themselves.
I wish Classic mode wasn't locked to Easy as id probably consider switching if so.

This, I actually found myself missing a bit of the old Gambit system last night when certain party members with magic that was a weakness of the enemy refused to use it until I manually told them to every 20 seconds or so.
Hope it works!
also if you find music disc #26 please let me know. I can't find it anywhere and it's frustrating the hell out of me.
I've done ok on all the bosses so far (currently at chapter 9). I've died numerous times to trash mobs though and some of the side missions have been tough. I've got a better feel for the battle system but I find I only bother to be tactical and patient for the boss fights.
so after MANY attempts I finally got this to trigger. Hard mode playthrough, did all side quests in chapter 8. Played through easy mode many times, gave up, did hard mode (that boss fight tho) and it's just triggered.
I said Tifa's a great fighter, said "it doesn't matter to me" or similar when asked about Aerith's outfit, and paid 100 gil.
Failing that, it's RNG. Unfortunately I don't have an immediate save point to test that.

I have it.
I don't know where I got it though lol.
I'm missing number 5.
EDIT: I lied, I have 5, I'm also missing 26. Chapter select tells me it is in
wall market.

Just finished Mako reactor 5 and
I'm having a much better time with the game that I expected, and that's saying something.
My god, was Airbuster a good boss fight. The way the music escalated when the fight was about to begin gave me CHILLS, and they've managed to recreate the party split in such a fun way. Also, when Cloud is unconscious and he "sees" himself, that's definitely Zack, right? I assume it's because he doesn't remember him yet, but the words spoken were totally Zack's.

Just what a game
18 hours in.
Definitely feel like I would have wanted some better vignettes per dungeon...but still pretty much a 10/10 game for me atm
The battle system is just unbelievably good. I really feel like this should be the new standard FF battle system for the next few games.

yeah this was one of my complaints with the system. i'm pretty certain all they do is attack, right? they won't use magic or items by themselves which sucks.
I think the combat of the game is suppose to be reliant on switching characters constantly to build ATB.
yeah I feel similar about that. I did change the camera distance in options, that helped a bit.
I complained about AI being useless on their own a few days ago and people just said it's designed that way so you have to constantly switch. Really you can't control all of them constantly and they're almost doing nothing when you leave them to their own devices. No what I call particularly satisfying.
For those that are going to go for the platinum, when are you doing your hard run? I'm conflicted, I'm enjoying it so much that I might just go straight into it, or I might see if it gets some PS5 enhancements.
Yeah, it's intentional for sure. I switch almost constantly during boss fights and I like doing it. Normal fights, I stick to whoever's most effective (or Tifa just because she's so fun).

There are a few bits of materia I've found that can help out with this a little bit, I can't remember the names of the top of my head, but one that makes an ally cure you if you go low HP for example, but where I'm at I still don't really have enough Materia slots to justify using it for something like that.
Yeah I've been trying and it does work better for me in the smaller scale fights I think. Maybe I'm just panicking when it comes to the boss fights?I've always been a long range class kinda guy in games so it's hard being so up close all the time. Maybe I should have Barret as my combat leader and switch to the others every so often but it feels weird not "maining" Cloud like the original.
I mean I'm still doing okay, I've died once so far in 10 hours and that was due to getting greedy in one of the less hectic boss fights lol.
Maybe it's random then? :( how annoying, especially considering the bullshit you have to get through to get to that point.
yeah i'm in the same boat. i think a gambit system would be too much but it'd be good if there were general orders to use, like 'go all out!' or 'cure me when damaged' or something.
yeah there are two that i've found:
synergy fires off a connected spell when your controlled character casts something (i think, never used it) and the the cure one you mentioned
Okay, mystery solved: I had some silent background downloads (updates) I didn't even know about!
17 hours in and by the looks of it. Still a long way to go to completion! I haven't felt this enamoured with a game since RE2 last year.
I'd say Kalm is the logical point to stop. However, if you want to get most of the things (mostly flashbacks) and new references you should go up to Nibelheim.
Great reviews. I was worried I was looking at the game through major nostalgia glasses. Seems it's as good as I think it is.
I don't know. I don't really feel compelled to replay this right now, maybe I'll wait to see if there's a day 1 patch and for some guides or something for the things I missed.
Platinum trophy seems tedious as F for this.
Have we any word on whether there will be a day one patch? I started this on Saturday, and I'm about 17 hours in at Don's place and I'm absolutely loving it, but some of the technical issues regarding low res textures and LODs are starting to hinder it a bit. Not that there's any guarantee that a patch would even solve this, but you never know. Either way, excited to get back to it after work today!
Removes the usage of items and benches/rest spots only recover HP
That's it I think, as I very rarely use items it's not that difficult
Damn I use a lot of items. Guess I have to git gud if I want to beat hard.
reading the reviews really make me want to pick it up, but I think im just gonna replay 7 on game pass until its cheaper and hopefully we get more info on a likely time scale for the next game/when it will be completed,
So i just finished the big battle in chapter 4 but i have got a question about it.
It was a non stop battle with shinra soldiers and mechs ending with a confrontation with Roche however after having finished it I noticed how big that area actually was when I checked the map. So my question is: Were there any items to find there during the non stop fighting? If so i might just reload an earlier save.
I'm pretty sure you can't pick up items in battle at all anyway. Once the sword is out you can't interact with chests, switches, etc. So all there is is boxes around the arena you can smash that might have moogle medals or healing items in (but they're plentiful elsewhere)
I believe hard mode would be impossible with a fresh character. It's most like a post-game fully powered up difficulty
(At least I think)
Try the (second summon battle)
