Watch it be the exact same story wih minor random things changed and zack becoming a party member lol

I finally beat this yesterday and I f***ing loved it fam, my game of the year for sure. I went into this as my first final fantasy game I’ve ever played, not knowing anything about the lore or the story and I became so invested bruh. I’m fiending for that part 2 but I know it’s going to be years until we get it

Ima try working on getting platinum for this game now

square snapped with chapter 12

Several times they really came in clutch, but mostly didn't use them. Which isnt that much different than the other games for me

First they killed my girl Jessie

Then they dropped a whole ass plate on her

Then I have to walk away traumatized with this SAD ass song on loop

It’s gon take some time cuz it still hurts on the 2nd play through

So... is it worth it? $180+, spread out over who knows how long?

it’s a great game imo. square did good

Barrett, shut TF up just for one time

Chapter 14 is some major suck right now, annoying ass sewer enemies.

This little s*** is one-shotting everybody

i can't get enough of this i replayed it all recently n even some of the chapters i thought were less fantastic like 10 n 11 during my first playthrough i'm now starting to love

like in ch10 i'm loving seeing the tifa/aerith relationship build, and 11 . . . chapter 11 bro. i kno it's an odd lil detour but that scene w/ aerith before the chapter-ending boss where u get that flashback to her as a kid, n all those other kids are playin some form of hide and seek where they're like "i'm ready!" --> "i found you!"

but aerith is just alone like "i'm ready, i'm ready!" and then she gets sad bout her mom cus no one finds her like the other children
and then tifa/cloud come to get her out of that trance/illusion/whatever and tifa says "we found you" and aerith sez "i guess you did" with a smile

this game bruh

not to mention in ch10/11 i like seeing how they build the tension for ch12 via tifa's anxiety in 10 (also her question to aerith: "what aren't you telling me?" is pretty interesting imo. i rly wonder who tf aerith is in this game. she seems meta-clairvoyant in the way that sephiroth also presents himself in this game. bit different characterization than her OG portrayal), and then in 11 with the radio transmission btwn tseng/rude/reno, prompting tifa's realization rxn.

overall, i feel the passion

also i really love the combat system. i think the modernization of the ATB system fits very well in that i p much always find combat engaging, tho admittedly it shines best in bosses. for some regular encounters i can just mash attack n

first playthru i was mostly doin cloud, however during this second one i made a good effort to constantly switch characters when i had the opportunity, n tbh it only made it a lot more fun. the strategy capability isn't as obvious or expansive as the og ff7 imo, but it's still there

and in complete contrast to my prev 2 posts, here's dunkey's vid that s***s on the game

I love the game but some of these low res textures are bothersome. Some places dont even load in

I finally finished the game. With all the negativity i was braving myself for a garbage ending but damn the s*** was f***ing cinematic. Maybe it made some leaps in logic at the very end but damn it was pretty good. Really the textures and some of the padding the only s*** i see as shortcomings here.

As far as padding square needs a f***ing come to jesus moment in their puzzle design. S*** was giving me ffx vibes in the two big shinra chapters. I need better rewards when these niggas wasting my time lol

Lastly the mini games were sick i wish seventh heaven had a pool table i woulda tore that s*** up. Excited how they tackle the gold saucer which in the og is mostly trash imo

still cant get over how trash that claw mini game with Aerith was, why tf was that even there

You owe me a pizza

In Chapter 16 now

That virtual explosion cutscene, that s\*\*\* was definitely a premonition

I'm shook

Who’s that walking down the hallway

I’m here to tell you that if you don’t have a 3-4 point lead after the 1st round against Jules in pull ups you aint gon win playa

jesus christ these final chapters really overstay their welcome lmao

pride and joy gang

I'll save the hard mode playthrough for some other time, the final simulator reward accessory gonna make it a breeze for the most part lol

Really looking forward to the next installment

This man suggesting rape Aerith to make a hybrid I'm going to need for him to chill

Why is this Sledgeworm crap the hardest s*** in the game
