4-5 depending on how well you do against bosses.Trying to plan my nights, about how many hours left once I start chapter 17?
Are you playing solo or with Sonon? Fighting him after getting Sonon is better. I didn't need to use Dispe/Barrier so it's not really necessary I think.So whats the deal with the Ramuh fight...? you have to change up your materia orbs for Dispel,or barrier or whatever...I will look online but this fight is ridiculous lol...

Exactly this. You should attack to build up ATB and then switch to build up ATB for the other characters. The character you directly control builds ATB faster than the AI controlled characters. You have to manually issue ability commands either by switching to the characters or selecting it with L2 and R2 (I think) depending on the character.First time playing.
Chapter 6 wasn't as bad as I expected. A little by-the-numbers, for sure, but holy shit the scale is just utterly phenomenal. Also, possibly the best HDR I've ever experienced on my LG OLED GX. Just insane looking at the artificial suns. Wow.

Question - I think I must be playing wrong. I've been playing as Cloud 99% of the time in battles, occasionally going to Barret to shoot down the enemies too high, or to Tifa just to simply throw healing items on Cloud. I was complaining the AI is brain dead and never attacking what I want - so I went into the menus thinking there'd be some type of attack priority settings or something. Nope. ... It occurred to me, am I supposed to be flipping between these characters constantly? It seems they NEVER use their abilities or spells - so I'm guessing I'm supposed to be doing that manually all by myself?

already killed Chaos. :PSurprised anyone's still playing this when Chaos is available for free.
I think they only touched up the sector 7 slums because its featured in the Yuffie DLC which explains why sector 5 still looks bad.So yeah after finally getting to the slums with aerith I'm starting to see some textures that just like the PS4 version the textures aren't fully loaded and I don't mean low res like the trash piles. I don't know how this is happening still but part 2 better not have issues like this.
wow.. I mean you go to the lengths of adding in a Performance and Graphics mode right...add in all the extra visual affects (lighting, fog) then you upgrade SOME textures and after a year you cant make sure to polish everything? just seems strange but hopefully this kind of consistency isn't a thing going forward.I think they only touched up the sector 7 slums because its featured in the Yuffie DLC which explains why sector 5 still looks bad.
I figured this out smh lol. I uploaded a save file I created separately that wasn't based off of my 100% completion save. But it still popped all my trophies when I uploaded that first save so I assumed it was my endgame one, hence the confusion. Will try to tackle INTERmission today if work permits.Which save file did y'all bring over to auto unlock Chapter select??

You have to keep looking at Ramuh's ability nameplate. Always keep close to 1 ATB bar to be able to use Brumal Form to dodge Voltaic Lance. Have Wind Ninjutsu on. When he teleports close to you he will try a triple strike that you have to block (I think perfect blocking the first strike stops his series but maybe it was a fluke). A lot of his other attacks can just be avoided by moving (the thunder strikes), and not running into the fire (those stunning bolts he puts). Biggest mistake is hammering square while he has an attack nameplate up.So whats the deal with the Ramuh fight...? you have to change up your materia orbs for Dispel,or barrier or whatever...I will look online but this fight is ridiculous lol...
You can only purchase it if you own the PS4 version.How do you get the intermission DLC? It says not available for purchase, was going to pick up the PS4 base FFVII and then buy the DLC.

I also wanted to say this version is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade. I played the hell out of the original over the past year and the lighting is so noticable. 60 FPS is a game changer and makes the game feel so much more responsive. I'm having a really good time with this.
On Normal you can play the way you've been playing without issue. On Hard the game really challenges you if you're not constantly switching control of characters and managing everyones ATB efficiently. Enemies generally attack whoever you are controlling. And you are the one who has to manage your teams ATB unless you've given them auto-cure etc.
I thought the combat/game was generally fun and enjoyable on Normal, but it wasn't until playing Hard where the combat really clicked for me (by force of how challenging the game is) and the game became my GOTY.

I think it will have some bonus items/points given, but I don't see any of the actual materia/gear/level transferring.Do we think Part II will have a save import system, and if so, what perks do you expect from it?
A trick I found is to open the command menu to slow down time and then lock onto the target you want to throw it at from there. Its a bit tedious but it works.The lock-on during the box challenge is just infuriating, holy shit. The number of times I've had it decide to lock on something literally 180° behind the current camera direction is nothing short of astonishing, and just when I think it's proximity-based and not camera-based, it goes and locks on to a box behind the box that is in front of me, going from A to C and skipping over B entirely even though C is completely occluded by B. Aaaaaaaagh. This is the worst type of frustration.
This would be 100% doable the first time through if it'd just do what I'm trying to get it to do, but I guess I'll just come back later after I'm leveled up and can brute force my way through by breaking boxes faster.
Anyway, completely adoring this otherwise. Even though the game opened on a familiar area, I spent hours running around listening to all the new crowd dialogue and messing around with photo mode.
Oh man, I can't believe I didn't think to try that. Thanks for the tip!A trick I found is to open the command menu to slow down time and then lock onto the target you want to throw it at from there. Its a bit tedious but it works.
This is the first time Nomura designed a manly main character in his game right?
yeah unfortunately Normal and Hard Fort Condor are completely separate I think.okay so i mostly bee-lined through the story my first time through the dlc, only doing the one tutorial fort condor match.
i started a save file on hard to actually do all the side content, but now it seems like all the fort condor matches are level 5 and i only have a handful of "good" units i just picked up from going through the story. i played against kyrie but i ran out of time the three times i tried, and i only managed to squeeze by against johnny on my second go around. old snapper only has two shitty starter units to sell for me which i already got.
is there no way for me to fight against the level 1 iterations of the fort condor players in hard? do i really have to start a save file on normal, beat everyone there to get the good units and boards, and then bring that stuff over to a hard mode save file so i don't end up banging my head against the wall with my starter stuff against these level 5 players?
Just wrapped up Chapter 8.
I continue to wait for the "gotcha." But the game continues to really blow me away. Fantastic character moments. Surprisingly well-written dialogues. Everything feels…. natural. It's like the antithesis to the misery I felt with FFXV. If this game somehow manages to maintain this great pacing, exciting areas, combat, and story… dare I say this might end up as one of my Top Five of the generation.
And the scale! The scale of everything is so good.

No no you can use chapter select anytime to move around. Start chapter 1 from chapter select menu, go through the beginning and do all the fort condor, and after that select chapter select and Select chapter 1 with hard mode.goddamnit
i hope i don't actually have to finish all of chapter 1 on normal again to carry over my fort condor progress to a hard mode save file!

Not really.... so it's gonna get some time to get used to it. Also Yuffie's combat has some unique stuff as well so it took me a while to get the hang of it.Been a while since I picked up FF7R -- bought intergrade but a bit nervous about jumping in being rusty at the combat. Does it reteach/transition well for that situation?
You can do it! Scorpion Sentinel is one of the harder bosses in hard mode. Remember you will gain additional levels to get to 50 and your materia will gain 3x AP to help you level it up. You got this!
