Grinding Yuffie is an idea I can really get behind.

Think we'll see Genesis get involved in this new FF7 series? Always expected him to be the villain of an eventual FF7-2. IIRC he isn't actually defeated in CC, and shows up in the post-credits scene of Dirge of Cerberus, so he's still around somewhere. It's a big loose end to have this lunatic...

Just finished it, 44 hours and it got completely nonsensical towards the end. I liked the game a lot when it stuck to the original concepts. You can tell the Kingdom Hearts / FF13 teams took this game for a roll in the hay. I ended up doing all the sidequests...no trophy popped for them though...

This is all good news, thanks. I got E-Skill, so I'm gonna plow through to the endgame now.

It sounds like I could probably just finish the game off and do all of these things on ng+ while spending a lot less time on it (like materia). Gonna try to get E-Skill at least, then head towards the endgame. If you do all of the quests up to Chapter 14 but not those last 9, then do them in...

Two questions: -What's a quick way to get Stagger to 300%? Enemies always die before I can get there. EDIT: Was originally asking about 200% but I found a quick way to do that just now: Use Tifa's Unbridled Strength move twice so she gets Rise and Fall, then triangle attack twice on a staggered...

It just me or do Tifa and Aerith have way more chemistry with each other (verbal, nonverbal, physical) than either of them have with Cloud? It's been building for a couple chapters, too. Really wondering if this is supposed to lead somewhere or be part of the story. Maybe Cloud isn't even gonna...

Sounds like a Soundcloud rapper's FF7 sample-mix where he put Chocobo SFX everywhere instead of rapping.

TBH Tactics >>> Rest Tactics >>> Almost every other game out there I'd put Tactics on a game Mount Rushmore next to Super Metroid, Mario 64, and Chrono Trigger. FF7 is at the top of the honorable mentions though.

I went ahead and did that fight with Cloud solo. It was the hardest fight in the game so far and also the most fun. Had to learn Shiva's tells like I was playing Bloodborne, and react properly. I knew I could probably come back with Aerith soon enough and roll it, but I kept trying until I got...

Blaming Wutai is an interesting part of the new story. IIRC Wutai might be the one part of the FF7 world that Shinra doesn't exert control over in some way, I guess because they successfully defended themselves in the war. So it makes sense that Shinra would want to drum up support for a second...

Have a BFA question: Haven't really played since Legion and since I bought BFA anyway for some reason I want to go back and check this expac out (casually) before the next one completely obsoletes it. Might do this next month, dunno. My question is, if I want to see everything BFA has to offer...

The way nobody recognizes them is pretty weird. Shinra could easily just put security footage of them on the news and instantly put everyone on high alert. They don't, because...plot armor? It'll be interesting if they explain this in the remake. Something like President Shinra saying that they...

That's been me a couple times too. The Barret/Marlene stuff with Tifa's theme playing also gets me a little bit, and just being able to look around at Midgar. I don't think Square said anything concrete, though if I had to guess...18 months between episodes? They've got the engine and basic...

I ended up doing the sidequests as I go in this first go-around, even though I want to see the end of the game sooner than later. Turns out the sidequests are all really short, at least in the early-game, and inoffensive. Even did the "kill 50 monsters" non-labelled sidequest and got MP Up from...

What's the verdict on 100%ing sidequests? Do them all as you play the first time for the EXP benefit, or just check them off when you re-do everything in Hard Mode? I'm making sure to level two Healing materia, as was suggested earlier.

Yeah, regardless of whatever problems this remake may or may not have, in the end, it's all worth it just to be able to walk around these environments in 3D and actually LOOK UP, seeing things that previously only existed in the imagination for the past 23 years.

Yeah, I'm really digging that. They often have interesting things to say too. Makes the world feel alive and real.

So far this is really good. There's a great remix of the Corel theme that plays on the train, and I've heard a couple of other tracks pop up "before their time" too. My only issue so far is that the enemies are damage sponges on normal, so fights drag on. I'm probably doing something wrong.

Finally here, got the Shinra employee card. I found this funny: "Made in China" "Do not lick"

4:57 AM - "Out for delivery in town" 7:08 AM - no further updates yet I'm pacing back and forth like Cartman waiting for the Okama Gamesphere right now

http://www.coronajumper.com/2020/04/total-recall-and-final-fantasy-vii.html Turns out the original FF7 was heavily-inspired by the original Total Recall movie.

I heard the Honey Bee Inn scene is now the second half of Disc 1.

Given that companies are remastering everything under the sun these days, why won't we get a DQ8 remaster on consoles? I'd like Crisis Core too, would have been a perfect time to do it with FF7R on the way.

Honestly it didn't feel like much of anything ended up having real significance. Where'd Starfleet get all those ships, indeed. Where did the Romulans get all of THEIR ships? Aren't they supposed to be desperate refugees on the ropes?

Switch version of DQ11 is more expensive, but worth it IMO. It has an entire second game included in the form of a 16-bit demake of the main game that looks like DQ6 on snes, and it's different enough to be well worth playing (for starters, it's harder, because random battles). They also added...

I never played DQ8, and going back to PS2 or 3DS is pretty unappealing at this point. The phone version also has a very limited field of view and no landscape mode support. It's my #1 most-wanted remastered game on modern systems. Played every other DQ that ever got released here. DQ8 only...

Just finished the last episode. The last 20 minutes might have saved the show a little bit with Admiral Riker and the Data stuff. Just a bit though. The final battle could have been great if it had actually featured a bunch of different Federation ships (new and old) instead of like 200...

Just finished episode 8. This show is so fucking awful. I hear episode 10 is pretty good with Riker leading a fleet and some feelings with Data. Which are the kinds of things the whole show should have been. The only characters I like are Picard and the other Token Male, Rios. The blonde lady...

So Aerith is a lesbian now? She got a full-on boner when she saw Female Cloud. Is this Trek 2009 style reimagining heading towards a finale where CLOUD is dead and Tifa has sex with Aerith instead? That scene was a whopper. 2020 now has its version of the FF6 Opera.

/shrug Every game has moments where the graphics aren't perfect. A lot of us just want to spend time in this world again (specifically Midgar) and more time spent having to find someone's cats isn't a big deal. I always wished the original FF7 would have spent a lot more time in Midgar and now...

Don't worry, we're all about to get a lot more time off. Before I was trying to figure out how I'd have time to fit Doom, FF7, RE3, and Trials of Mana into a single month...now I'm seeing how many other games I can fit into it.

That and Eternal Blue were insane. The mid to late 90's were like an oasis of good-to-great RPGs.

FF13-2 is quite good IMO. It has amazing visuals and music, especially considering it's on PS3. World's more open than 13-1 and the system of having monsters for your third character is reminiscent of Lufia 2. 13-3 is very much a "your mileage may vary". If you liked Majora's Mask and want to...

Lufia 2 is so good. Probably my favorite 16-bit RPG that isn't from Square. I wish we'd gotten more info on who Arek was though. They introduce this Big Bad who's higher-ranked than the villain of the game, but you never see him again. Maybe they were planning to do more with him in the sequels...

Personally I prefer Xenoblade Chronicles X to XC1 or XC2 because it's got a more open world free-roam design. Also mechs, like Xenogears. If I had to replay one of them it'd be XCX easily. It doesn't tie into the story of the others so you can jump into it without missing out on backstory.

Got 10x silver seeds and 8x regular seeds so far, took about 55 minutes to get that many. This isn't too bad, certainly nothing compared to the Pink Tail farm in FFIV. Planning on spending about 15 hours on this. I figure the main benefit to Sahagin Scales is to have something to sell, maybe...
