I’ve had it on iTunes since whenever it was released digitally. April 12th I think? Or 18th? Either way. I’ve had it since it’s digital release but I’ve been super busy so I haven’t been able to watch it.
The most I’ve heard about review wise is outside of a few fight scenes the movie is sub-par and kinda boring
Random reflective things:
Watches the clip of Cloud vs Seph from ACC the other day and even though that movie still looks pretty solid graphic wise it is completely crazy to me that FF7R is destroying this film texture and detail wise. We’re playing a game that looks better than that movie in real time right before a generation shift. Kinda looking forward to how Part 2 will look on the next gen.
While watching my wife play GTA Online I suddenly came to the realization that this is the first generation that hasn’t had its own brand new GTA. Rockstar really did upscale that game at the beginning of this gen and were like ‘Don’t even front…you’ll buy this and like it. You get a first person mode and we’ll update the online constantly with grindy stuff. PAY ME’ and they made all the fuckin money from it. If they release a new gen patch for that game we’ll be seeing GTAV in the top 10 for 5 more years. Some VG reporter is gonna ask them if GTA VI will evee come out and he’ll immediately burst into teary laughter then throw a wad of cash into the fire he’s using to keep his room warm.
I legit stuck with the Buster Sword for the majority of my normal run only switching to aquire new abilities. I’m a lore *** hahahaha. Swords “too important” to unequip.
Yeah especially since they actually have sections where you can do that. Maybe during non-main story content at least they could let us do that. I’m doubting it though. At least they let us set the battle leader so you can instantly start on whatever character you prefer
Yea, I was aware of the other stuff like no items and the bench. Glad there’s new attacks to deal with, Square didn’t go the cheap route. Guess I’ll go knock out all the side quests, materia farm then level up pray and Chakra to prepare for hard mode. Prolly gonna try to get that Limit Break accessory too
So I’m curious why there is a post on the Sony website about all the games on sale for Golden Week, yet when I go to the playstation store, there aren’t any discounts on those games.
Something’s not right here…
I’ve barely used the Buster Sword. Once I got the Iron Blade. I basically didn’t look back. The lack of materia slots kept me from using it. I probably used the Twin Stinger the most. It had solid attack, magic, and readily available materia slots. I occassionally went back to the Hard Edge for magic resistant enemies. Similarly, I switched to the Mythril Saberon rare situations where I needed additional magic power. I don’t see myself using the Mythril Saber much on hard mode.
Just so you know they all end up with 6 slots.
Iron Blade has a little better blocking but it’s on the weaker side damage wise and Mythril is better with Magic and you also have the Blade Burst skill which is full magic damage without MP so that works great with Mythril. You also get that 50% faster MP regen.
I just don’t see what Iron Blade specializes in really.
I pretty much always use Mythril if I don’t have Aerith. If I do have her then I switch to Buster or Hardedge.
Sure you’re not mistaking the golden week sale for the big in Japan sale that’s happening right now?
Maxed out they end up with the same slots but the number of slots vary as they level up. Not sure why they did it that way. On normal mode, material slots matter more to me that overall stats. Now hard mode…yeah not so much.
True enough
On normal mode I’m Tyrone Biggums and materia slots are crack. 
Well, a lot of technology used in real-time rendering today wasn’t in use back in the day, even for CG films. Rendering tech has progressed a lot since then.
Though I believe AC still has a higher polycount for their models.
If what yall sayin about Barrett being a damn near unlikable tank in FF7R is true, he gettin nerfed hard in part 2 
Yea, Clouds second Counter Stance is gonna get beat to death if not outright removed as well. That shits fucking nuts.
Yea Barrets hard to kill. He has a good def stat and his health pool is huge and easy to pump up with HP Materias. He’s also usually pretty far from the fight instead of in the thick of it like Tifa and Cloud.
Well, it takes a while for that to be really effective since you need leveled up Materia and I’m willing to bet materia growth is going to be reset in subsequent parts
Weren’t you the one who told me to use Counter Stance to beat Rufus? That shit super cheesy lol. Have yet to try it on the final boss tho 
And a feature to change weapons mid combat would be a welcome addition in part 2. Idk how it would affect the game balance wise tho
Yea that was me, but I got it from Gasa and used on my second run through that chapter. First time I chased him down with Focus Thrust.
I wouldn’t be against being able to spend ATB to re-slot a Materia orb mid battle. To balance it I would make so you can only re-slot one orb per ATB charge and only on weapons.
A couple fights where I go in, use Asses, and go “Damn…i don’t have Ice…its the beginning of the battle I could just pause and reset the fight.” Think it would be better for the health of the game to be able to just spend ATB to get what you need without cheesing the games reset feature. Adds a little more strategic decision making to the combat.
I think even 2 ATB would be fair just because of how big of a deal it is. Even the original game didn’t have anything like that.
Yea 2 ATB is still pretty fair.
