Yeah idk. My own personal rule is to take anything a youtuber (any youtuber) says with a grain of salt so we'll see.
More likely than not, there probably will be a patch early on.

Got it for the same price on Best Buy. Atleast it's only a few days late and not 2 weeks or so like I've seen with other people's orders. It'll be at your door before you know it
i've only seen this person and apparently someone on giant bomb, people not massively reknowned for accurate reporting, say this
i mean hopefully there is but eh i dunno
anyway glad waypoint agree with me on cloud's character
It's locked. I wanted to take a screenshot and wasn't allowed.
It's only locked in the last portion, tho. I took Screenshots & Videos from the whole game, up until the last chapter.
And the lock will probably go away as soon as the game is out, I assume.
Damn now I will have to remote play to my Mac and share the screen. :'(
That's good actually.
Need to change your mindset going into this game. FFVIIR is first and foremost an RPG, an action game second. You are expected to take damage fairly often, unless maybe you main Tifa who can usually dodge around quickly, but even then when you are attacking, you're bound to get hit back while enemy is not being staggered. So you want to find ways to mitigate it, with better gear for defense/mdefense, use barrier, etc. But big hits, usually they have some tell. Need to pay good attention to what the enemy is doing rather than just staying clear from it and dodging around.
For sure, what's a few days compared to how long we've already waited lol
Glad I dodged that Amazon bullet. I just knew it was going to have trouble shipping from them considering their new shipping policy because of the virus.
I was able to take all the screenshots and videos I wanted throughout the game except for the last chapter.
yes! more than 1 actually.
TBH I'm not holding out much hope for a huge visual upgrade on day 1. I expect some of the really glaring LOD issues will be resolved but the patchy texturework is what it is for now. Hopefully in a year we will see a better version on PC/XBX
WRT dodging and stuff, it isn't like Bayonetta where its quick reflexes. Dodging is almost like you are selecting 'dodge' from the drop down menu well ahead of an attack when you see its tell. The way it makes you commit to actions is a carefully arrived at design decision I think, which is why I'm not super in favour of having attack cancelling and things like that which could upset this balance.

He already had a flashforward to even later events earlier when he met the black cloaked sick guy who is his neighbor.
Are they just walking around the world and you come across them or are they put behind side quests
Don't tell me the exact number but is there a lot of side quests? I don't care how tedious they are I'm doing them all.
The only sharing thing I encountered outside of the entire final chapter being blocked was it says you can't upload / it prevents uploading the material to twitter (I didn't want to upload anything, I just wanted to view back some footage because I thought someone's hair didn't pop in but turns out that's just the character)
None of them are roaming the world. All of them are behind "side quests"
There is more side stuff other than the sidequests.
Battle reports, Shinra VR challenges and Colloseum challenges.
You can circumnavigate it obviously by taking the video you record off the PS4 and uploading via a computer.
I took one of chapter 6 boss, wish I didn't make so many mistakes but it was pretty hype while doing the fighting
Want to get a perfect run against it on hard mode.

True that, I guess the death one just got me on the feels! Kind of solidified that Aerith will survive this remake for me.
I went from totally disinterested to really looking forward to playing it this weekend. I rarely do digital but...fuck it.
Magnify. it's the "all" materia in this game. You can slot it connected to curing, status or elemental magic to target all enemies or allies. it's really a game changer for the harder fights.
It's the strangest thing. Everytime I click on the FFVII OT it brings me to the spoiler thread.
Yeah I'd reload a save it I would miss this one.
I tend to combine it with Barrier against bosses. But I also use it with Fire against human groups. It feels great casting a Firaga that nukes a group.
Okay, I finished it. I liked the game very much, though some of the additions to the story were a bit silly.
Ehh.. I didn't really "get" what happened in the last two hours or so. So is Zack alive or what? In some another dimension? Very curious how the story will continue from this. Guess we'll find out in 2025 when Remake Part II releases. ;P
omg.
I hated that section so much I just said 'fuck it' and left it.
why
Oh yeah, definitely. I'm more of a in-store and grab my copy kind of person. But with Amazon and Gamestop in their own situations, I wasn't going to take the risk.
So far Im at 8/10 myself, and I think it will stay around it. Good graphics, music, combat, bosses, some new additions are cool, some are bad, characters are worse written.
Tempest has a visual key to when it's full. The circle triangle prompt has a ring that does around it and you unleash the attack when it's closed
I'm not that far into it - Tifa is about to give me a tour of the slums - but I am wondering if the game was made with the expectation that you've already played the original. Wouldn't it already be super confusing if you hadn't?
We don't know.
It doesn't. Feels different enough and not linked to the original so far (Ch.8 I think)
My negatives so far are some parts that used to be 10 minutes in the original are now padded out to a few hours which can feel like it's dragging a little, and the side-quests are pretty uninspired. I've really liked the characters and even some of the story changes (although still early on). I love how much they fleshed the Avalanche team out. Also, the darts mini-game is amazing lol, I ended up getting the high score.
Also, I think the combat is great but sometimes I do feel like it could be a bit more refined, it can get chaotic and the camera gets annoying in tight spaces. Your team mates also need gambits or something, because they don't really do anything but attack unless you tell them to do something else.
I don't think the characters are written worse imo. The main squad interactions and banter is A+. Its good to have the real cloud back.
