Literally OP, but busy us to set skills haha.

no both FFXV and FFVII remake are just typical of current Square Enix

only playable until Midgar pffft

where's muh Cid?
muh Vincent?

FF nowadays are just shallow AAA 'JRPG' (can we even call that?) relying hard on muh grafixx alone

having more fun right now with Ni no Kuni II - similar gameplay but a complete enjoyable experience

for 100% trophy you have to play 2 time full playthrough
as for 100% play log, you need to play some chapter multiple time to get


i put her as leader and she whack everything on hard mode

agreed.

hope the next episode will back to open world, lack of the enjoyment of exploring the map and fight freely

Wah u guys plat so fast, want to ask where to get the 2nd magnify materia ?

only one in the entire game

just beaten leviathan in chapter 13. once u beaten the game when u enter hard mode you cant get a new magnify material in hard mode??

nope, the material wont be there anymore (Chapter 9)

I might stay away from hardmode and stay back normal mode max up the weapon SP and materia first

Hp Up and Mp Up as for SP you need to play hard mode to get extra SP

It's more of a FF7-2 than FF7 remake IMO.
But of course, "remake" is used to sell more copies.

Bought and played the game anyway despite some people said this game wasnt a full game. The story may not full, but the content and the gamplay seems full to me. For those who didnt buy the game due to having thought that this isnt incomplete game, you have right to say I got cheated by Square for their so called "semi finished FF7 game" and would wait for all the episode to released. As for me, I am sarisfied for what Square has fleshed and reimagine the setting of FF7 in the Remake.

As for time travelling stuff. I am okay with the appriach since it was done in FF game before (hello there Ultimecia's Time Compression from FFVIII and Lightning a goddess that travelled thru time in XIII-2 and XIII-3). Fact is, what most important to me is, this game is replayable since a lot of playthrough and route we can go just like dating sims i.e in order to trigger certain scene, need to select this or that answer from the response dialogue.

Considered FF7 Remake as "Rebuild of Evangelion", FF7 version. Some fans wanted Shinji end up with Rei while original TV series fans wanted Shinji stick with Asuka. But I hope they change Nomura as a director with someone else (say, rehiring back Hinorrovu just for once?) since Nomura kinda "Ryan Johnson"-ing the FF7R.

Yea, I completed the game.

Maybe my take is different. I think Square Enix is just setting up the narrative so that they could change some plot/elements in later Part 2 or 3 of the remake. To make things more plausible or acceptable in today standard.

just beaten the game this morning 10am. the first thing i do after credit scene is straight go search for explanation...more explanation and ending explanation.

after looking through ending explanation from various different opinion.now i cant wait for next installment.

now time to start hard mode.

As someone who played ff7 game more than 20 years ago, then watched ff7 advent children and played FF 7 Crisis Core (and 100% it if there's such thing), i think the new remake so far (i'm until chapter 14) is a nice story rpg.

For sure i will remember now what happened to the avalanche members (i cant 20 years ago), and other subplots and despite the linearity (even ff7 original was linear prior to the open world post-midgar - and even then its still somewhat linear as it just offer the illusion of walking around a green patch of grass), it's worth the RM 200+ ringgit to pay for day one one of this game (like watching 10-15 movies).

My only concern now is with the other Episodes coming up, will we get to bring our higher level characters for the ride as we are investing so much in them. If it does (my minimum expectation is level and majority of materia remains the same), then all the more for Part 2 & 3. If its gonna be like FF13 style of parts 2 & 3, then may think twice for day one purchase.

My thoughts so far:

1. Money well spent. The game is beautiful (well...some weird low res background aside, wtf is that view from the pillar lol) and the characters are really beautiful. Played the original decade ago and it feels so wonderful to see everything in highly detailed manner.

2. Flow is pretty good, at least part 1 has a beginning, middle and end that makes sense. Though there are some parts that feel like padding (side quests, long dungeon crawling), but they still feel ok and not annoying, yet.

3. I quite enjoy the system though it is difficult to me as I play it like action game and target switching can be very jarring to me. Enemies especially bosses have very high HP which can be too grindy. Sometimes it feel the screen has too many things going on at once, making it difficult to monitor HP and MP etc.

I think I am 70% now, for now I think it's definitely worth it.

Some points to add also is they added quite a lot of tributes to the original FF7, subtly and not. For e.g.,

1. The VR simulation and Wall Market colosseum is a tribute to Gold Saucer
2. Optional scene involving Tifa, Aerith, and Barret depending on ur decision in the game (akin dating in original FF7)
3. The VR theatre in Shinra building is just like Bugenhagen machine in Cosmo Canyon
4. Kyrie as the joke version of Yuffie
5. Some of the joke monsters in FF7 OG has been re-created in Remake as miniboss

one of my favorite boss theme



the build up is so epic
