lol, yeah i thought it was a bit strange that what actually happened isn't really represented in the game. The outcome of that event should have looked way worse than it did. And while we are on the subject, wtf do they have a procedure such as this built into the pillar to begin with. Thats some shady shit.
This game lacks more Magnify Materia tbh... the lack of it made using buffs a waste of time, as by the time I cast protect/shell/haste individually on the three characters the first one's already wore off...
Pretty sure you can get Barretts and Tofas as well in ch14. That's how I got them all, you'll get to revisit the colloseun
Just got the platinum. I had a smile on my face through the entire game, this is Square back to its best in my opinion. I've not enjoyed a Final Fantasy game since X, so I was cautious going into this but damn, they nailed it. I just cannot wait for the second game with whatever story they're gonna come up with. They have my full trust after this.
Tetsuya Nomura with Naoki Hamaguchi and Motomu Toriyama co-directing.
This was such a reunion, pun-intended. So many people talking about this. So many people sharing in this.
I remember as a middle-schooler, me and like 1 other guy talked about this game together every day. it felt like it was this niche experience. Now it's like worldwide event.

Magnify + Manawall before Megaflare goes off is pretty much required to win
If anyone has done or still trying the Pro pull up challenge heres a Gif and a 1 min video of Jules laughing at you.

Me thinking I'm near the end of the game at Chapter 17 when it asks me to start throwing a shitload more switches
This game would be so much better with 5-or-so hours of tedium cut out.

On chapter 14 and just about done with the sidequests, but I'm only at level 28ish for my party and keep getting my ass kicked by Leviathan. Should I grind more? Or will I find Chadley in a future chapter and can fight him then? Or do I just suck?
You can find him in the post game.. you will be more ready for Levi and the other one after.
You'll find him in chapter 16 and post game, where you should be more prepared.
It's probably the most emotional I have been playing a game.
Are you sure? I don't see one in chapter 4 on the guides I usually check.
Game is a nostalgia fueled emotional roller coaster. I am constantly amazed at how well done things are. Game is special
You buy one at the train station at the end of the chapter. It's right before you meet Barret
I don't have any emotional attachment to the original and was pretty unfazed by it when I played it for the first time three years ago. But this remake stirs all sorts of heartmelting emotions in me.
Thanks. I think it was a bug. I already own Barret's theme and now I checked the shop at the train station in chapter 3 and it's sold out. After this I checked chapter selection again and it's not showing anymore.
Listening to Max the past 3 or 4 days big brain this shit has been awesome lol. The night I beat it I saw he was also beating it and watched until like 4:30 in the morning. Just finished Easy Allies' Spoiler Mode with him. This game is freaking awesome. This is EXACTLY the kind of game we needed injected into the mainstream.
Its just like damn game, give us a fucking breather for a second. I think weve fought enough enemies...
Just got to the Shinra building. Why is this theme so damn good? Like, it's so perfect.
I'm really sitting here listening to it. I love it.

This kind of stuff makes me feel like on hard mode the game is pigeon-holing me into playing it in a very specific way. Now I gotta use the wack magic-oriented melee equipment that I've never liked using in any rpg I've ever played in my life. I'm in Chapter 5 and I've been finding it stressful and annoying more than anything.
Prayer sucks because it eats up two ATBs and doesn't even get you that much health, at least at four stars.
You're not pigeonholed at all, imo. You just need to be smart about building around the lack of MP regen via items and resting. There is still plenty of room to experiment.
Prayer does not suck, even at lower stars. It's an amazing materia. Use haste and the various abilities like Tempest to build ATB faster.
Close to the end, but linked material was WAY WAY too underutilized.
Like, I only got 1 all materia....
What the shit?
I barely upgraded connected material slots because there was nearly nothing to use it with.
Big disappointment this whole game personally. Still amazing game so far though.

If you're intending to do hard mode, you'll need linked materia like warding, hp and mp absorb etc to get through. You can't use items, for one, and benches don't refill MP.
Warding + Subversion is pretty mandatory for some of the hard only VR fights (specifically the fucking multi tonberry ones)
I made sure cloud had prayer equipped so Aerith could manage some offense. I put 2 elemental materia on each so that you can interrupt whatever the opposing elemental phase is to up the stagger bar. Aerith healing + magnify, and haste on both.
When it spits out the tonberrys, punish them immediately, they're easy to stagger when they're first out of the house.
MP absorb linked to Lightning on one of the characters, probably Cloud. Thundaga uses too much MP but Thundara generally gives you back what you use or maybe 1 less MP which will recharge in a few seconds anyway.
Also Aerith's second limit break really helps in this fight. As does her MP drain ability. Between using her healing with magnify on both and cloud with prayer maxed out, it wasn't toooooooo bad. It's really important to use the elements to stagger it on hard, IMO. Chakra on Cloud if you have room helps keep up with the damage at that part specifically too, as maxed out you get 40% of damage back from whatever the first attack that hits after you cast it is.
I personally grinded my materia to unlock chadley fights. then proceed to unlock the last combat sim battle. the reward from that fight is very useful for hard mode.
but ofcourse you can start hard mode right off the bat and get a few manuscripts to help out that last combat sim battle too. as that last battle will be tough if you don't have a strategy or prepare for.
