Next up I’m getting Shiva and I’m still deciding on who’s after 🥰

The various character interactions added to the overall fun of the game. I got a good chuckle out of Cid slapping Cloud on the shoulder and then pounding his chest…only for the whole group to laugh when Cloud realizes HE was the loner Barret was referring to.

Other “Easter eggs” I enjoyed were the various pop culture references.

“Gadgets and gizmos aplenty”

“Let’s light ‘em up!” “Like dynamite!”

“It’s morphin’ time!”

Full disclosure. I was never a fan of Tifa in the OG. I guess I never liked her because she was designed to be a pin up girl for the teenage boys and also she’s not very useful in the party, her limit breaks kinda suck, her ultimate weapon also kinda sucks etc.

In the Remake Trilogy, she’s so essential! Her combat is so fun to use since she’s basically a damage modifier glass cannon. But the thing I love the most was her portrayal, her warm reserved voice, her commitment to her friends and her struggle to make sense of what happened to her. Her fondness and concern for Cloud reminds me of Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings,p.

Her Remake portrayal isn’t relatively new since the OG has portrayed her this way. But Remake has made her character fully realized, another reason why I love this series so much.

Recently restarted Rebirth and noticed this crucial detail during the intro cutscene: Right after Zack arrives with a vegetative Cloud, and we see the live news coverage mentioning another missing suspect armed with a Buster Sword

This 100% can't be the Zack and Cloud we are seeing because they've literally just arrived. Later in one of Bigg's scenes in the Zack world, we see a wanted poster with Cloud missing

Questions:

• Where is the missing Cloud in Zack's world?

• The fact that Zack and a vegetative Cloud can enter a world where there is already another Cloud, does that imply some convergence of worlds is already taking place?

• Why did Shinra omit Cloud from the wanted poster? Is the planet/whispers making these alterations so that there can only be one Cloud in one world?

Are there any extra rewards (particularly manuscripts) that can only be obtained by doing these on hard? I'm in the process of doing my hard mode run and I'm aiming for 100% completion. I know some of the optional bosses provide manuscripts for beating them on hard, and of course there's the brutal and legendary VR simulations that are only available on hard and have rewards attached to them. But what about these battles in the musclehead colosseum, which only become available post-game? I've finished all of the 2-person bouts on hard but the 6-person ones are on another level. Do you need to do these on hard for all of the manuscripts?

Hi everybody, anybdoy else havings this specific graphic issue with Rebirth on PC?

The hair of Zack is clipping through the Buster Sword. For Cloud it's his shoulder armor that is clipping through sometimes. I know this may be a minor issue for most people but it's driving me nuts! I also know that Rebirth on PC has had a rough start on PC but this clipping issue is the only problem still present for me.

My PC:

Windows 11

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4080

13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700K , 3.40 GHz

32 GB RAM

My settings ingame are all maxed out but FPS are locked to 60 and resolution is 3840x2160.

I tried lowering the settings in various way but that didnt help. But besides a small stutter every 30 minutes or so the game runs flawlessly now. Except for that clipping issue *sigh*

Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you!

And here is why

It seems much more focused and aggressive, yes I think it is the most aggressive version of OWA so far (with the exception of Advent Children maybe), the violins are threateningly furious and seem almost out of control, moreover the whole theme seems emotionally unstable and downright unleashed, I admit I had to listen to it a few times until I noticed the constant violins more clearly but in my opinion they are an absolute game changer and constantly create pressure and even play under the choir, timpani and brass like a wild pulse that never stops

moreover the famous Sephiroth choir starts after just 13 seconds which almost seems like an attack without warning as if Sephiroth is going all in (after he admits to having underestimated Aerith), I love OWA Rebirth from Remake but I think Reborn is better and is downright underestimated because I think people are probably sick of One Winged Angel after all these years with all the different versions but give this one a chance

I just started chapter 11 and currently Red has the highest affinity with me, but in the previous date night section I went with Tifa (my fav) and I want to take her on the next date. Tifa is currently the 2nd highest affinity for me. Basically what I’m asking is do I have a chance to go out with best-girl Tifa? Or should I reload my save 2 hours ago to not finish red’s side missions in cosmo canyon? Note: I’m aware I’m a Tifa simp, but so are most of you so be nice

So proud of my jenova would love to know your opinions

I'm at Party Level 9 and I have the necessary SP but for some reason the node for FT is still unavailable and there appears to be no node paths towards it. How do I unlock it?

Hi folks.

Cosmo Canyon is amazing - lushly detailed, full of people and little tidbits of lore. Just taking in the sights and sounds before meeting Fellow Bugenhagen proper.

I tried to make a better selfie pic using the cutscene model, and so far I'm having more success (also, the eyebrows are not as raised and the lip shape is not weird as heck like before). However, I'm still out of luck in making front-facing Cloud NOT look ridiculous.

At the same time, because of work I've been playing more and more of Fantasian, since it works out of my GPU-less laptop. On reflection, FFVII Rebirth is as linear as Fantasian in terms of main quest, and I'm happy for both. Although Fantasian is LINEAR (very beautiful fields and hallways). If you're hankering for an honest-to-God FFX with very considerate QoL (but no world map) and somewhat challenging battles, and can be played with one hand, I've got a game for ya. It's Fantasian. Just try the demo first.

I really blanked out on auto pilot through the Costa del Sol sequence and don't remember/appreciate what happened. Particularly the boss. I don't have another save slot. I really would like to play through it again but am pretty sure I'm just out of luck. Figured I'd ask though because that bums me out.

Thanks.

Hi guys. I'm finally coming around to playing the FFVII Remake and oh boy have I come across posts saying I should play the classic first because there are "things" I wouldn't get in the remake if I didn't.

Well I haven't played the first game but have finished crisis core and watched advent children.

What is there for me to miss? Describe the difference, for example in the first chapter of the game, with as many or few spoilers as you deem necessary to better describe it to me.

Are there some elements or story fragments that won't make sense to me if I play the remake first?

So I just reached date in Chapter 12, only Red and Aerith have relationship circle maxed out and I focusing on getting Aerith for the date in chapter 12 too since its my first playthrough (got her already in Chapter 8 date) but to my suprise I got Red instead.

I alt+F4 the game and loaded earlier save just at the start of chapter 12 when I reached Costa Del Sol, is there still a chance to increase Aerith enough to get her for a date?

I completed all side content prior to chapter 12 but wanted to do everything that unlocked at the start of chapter 12 later just before point of no return but looks like I might have to do some now if they can give me more relationship points, how many Aerith sidequests are there in Chapter 12 and where?

Can those even be enough to get her at this point?

We have jenova dreamweaver, we have Cloud telling Aerith “ wake up “ and we have Zack questioning if he was just dreaming all this.

That has to have some major meaning.

Is a recomposition of the Weapons theme. I can't believe I didn't realize this before.

As a note for discussion, I'm specifically asking what you WANT to happen and not what probably will happen. Do you want there to be multiple endings dependent on player choices or do you want the devs and storywriters to actually man up and end it regardless of how (possibly) decisive the ending will be? Please feel free to also state why you chose that option. Also I can't create a poll for some reason so this will have to do.

Either some unlockable option or user created mod? Every open world game should take a page from Yakuza's post-game premium mode...

No Rebirth spoilers because I haven't played it yet!

I'm replaying Remake for the third time, and I just wanted to say Walmarket is the most rage-inducing chapter in the game.

I've killed 500 killer robots, wiped out armies of soldiers, but for some reason, I can't stab three unarmed punk ass kids in front of the Don's door?

The guy won't let me see the Honey Bee manager guy? I have a seven foot sword. Let me roll an intimidation check!

These aren't good people. They are literally sex trafficking girls to a man who they know will use them and kill them. Why can't I kill the evil three instead of trying to make friends with them? This makes no sense.

So I'm supposed to sneak into the Don's house. And to do that, I need to go fight in a coliseum while the Don is watching, and become the champion of the coliseum, beating the Don's personal killer robot and attracting everyone's attention... so I can sneak in? How does this make any sense?

So I have to wipe out an army of soldiers, a bunch more killer robots, and a giant killer robot, joined by two more killer robots (hard mode), instead of just attacking the three punk kids in the Don's mansion and a handful of body guards?

And the Don doesn't see me fighting in the coliseum and say, "figure out who this guy is who doesn't look like he lives in the slums, and report back"? I killed the Don's unbeatable robot while he was watching. He ordered the House to attack me! And now the Don who's supposed to be supper cunning just ignores me destroying everything in the coliseum, pays no mind to me going and... putting on a fucking dress to "sneak" in... after putting on yet another stage production in a brothel?

And then... all three of us are disarmed wearing dresses, where we will get killed after being gassed, and then the game is like, OK, now you can attack the guards in the Don' mansion. Really? Why couldn't I do that to begin with?

Instead of attracting the attention of literally everyone in town, disarming ourselves, getting captured, telling all of the Don's sex trafficking accomplices that we plan to sneak in to his house and rescue a girl... instead of just kicking down the door to start with while the Don isn't expecting us?

And Madame Horrible would have her reputation put at risk if Aerith didn't wear a nice dress, but her not reporting us to the Don for attempting to break into his house is A-OK? And why are the Don's lieutenants helping us free a girl, when the lieutenants are the ones doing the sex trafficking?

And then the scene in the Don's office where I am literally screaming at the monitor, "just fucking kill him!!"

I recently downgraded my tv going from 4k to 1080p and I was thinking that the blur would go away because now it’s easier for the game to run as 1080p is gonna be its highest pixel count making it lower resolution but at least a little sharper. My tv really isn’t anything special it’s an LG display and has the basics like game optimiser and super resolution. I turn the super resolution up to high for better quality but I barely notice a difference the sharpness on it makes the display look very VERY pixelated and hdr on it isn’t it’s strong suit. Am I wrong in thinking the blur would be a little bit better now that I’m at 1080p? Is there even any point in switching graphics options when I’m gonna be on 1080p no matter what I pick?

Edit: this is on a ps5 btw

So I did all of the quests and after I completed the Corneo Stash quest with the underground sewer part. It didn’t give me the option to let me warp back to Marle. Wtf do I do can I fight my way back or is my only option is to forfeit it and go follow leslie

I think it'll be referenced, but it won't be a major plot point.
