@FullbringIchigo Yeah, but I tend to get around 20. It's also a shame that if you decide to give up for the day and do something else in the game, you have to get to him from the start of the chapter again to try again. I wish they had little bookmarks within each chapter to hop to certain bits.

@Matroska yeah i get that but at least you don't have to start the entire game gain

as for the boss it might be a good idea to have a character Healing materia and Auto-Cure Materia equipped and one to have Healing and Enhance Materia equipped and both with First Strike materia (all mastered of course) that way your AI partner will cure automatically as long as you keep switching to them to keep their ATB gauge up and the very first move you should do is cast Regen with Enhance so it is casted on everyone

and having Tifa in your team helps too as she can build a Stagger gauge quicker than the others especially if she has the Stagger Materia equipped too

What are you meant to do against Bahamut VR? I'm on Normal and my party is about level 47. I have mainly maxed materia too. Not only does he just generally slaughter us, he one shots us later with his super attack. I can't stagger him even once, I didn't even get the bar halfway. I put the best magnify+protection spell on someone but it runs out really quickly and take about a quarter of the character's MP.

There's absolutely no way I'll be able to do the hard mode VR thing where you have to fight 5 in a row including this one.

Coming up to 60 hours played and I've just arrived at the Shinra building. I took the stairs route and boy was that a slog but it was actually pretty well done the way that Cloud's movement was restricted and the slowed down music, plus Barret was in full Barret mode. It's moments like this where the game shines.

@ApostateMage I’ve never not taken the stairs and I don’t intend to start in the remake! Do you still get decent loot or is it just worth it for the humour?

@ApostateMage "That was a slog"
Hoo boy, brace yourself for what's to come. 😫

@nessisonett I didn't see any loot but it's worth doing just to buzz off Barret.

@Matroska Yeah, I've heard that the final few chapters are a drag. Hopefully the hours I've spent grinding the colosseum to max most materia will make it quick and painless.

@ApostateMage I might have to do that, as there have been a couple of non boss enemies in some side quests which I struggled against.

Can everyone agree that Chadley is the worst NPC name of all time like it’s Bradley... but for Chad. There’s just something extremely horrible about that name combined with his weird robot voice.

@nessisonett I keep hoping the next VR fight will be against Chadley so I can make Tifa pummel him.

@JohnnyShoulder I thought that it would make fights easier but I still get a good hiding sometimes in non boss encounters. The difficulty spikes are all over the place in this game.

@nessisonett @ApostateMage the only NPC i eant to punch in the face is Hojo, especially after that scene where he says what he did with Ifalna

@Matroska that's odd i was level 45 and never had an issue with Bahamut (on normal mode too)

of course if you just want the Materia you could always drop it down to easy temporarily

but i think you're right about the hard mode stuff, that's going to be a challenge i rekon

I’m curious about how the VR actually works. Is Cloud just running about slashing at thin air while civilians run for cover?

man that pull up mini game is no joke.

srsly jules can F off with his crazy recovery after falling off the first time.

@jdv95 tell me about it but i noticed that he tends to only do about 44 pull ups so if you just ignore him completely and only concentrate on Tifa, her movements and the tempo of the music you should be OK

as long as you can keep the rhythm and the speed going of course

Hey Share Factory has a FFVII Remake Theme so you can add FFVII Remake intros, transitions and stuff to you videos, i tried it out and they aint bad

anyone going to use it and produce some FFVII Remake vids?

Can i discuss about old Final Fantasy games ?
Maybe i can start with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates NDS
I have never played that game before but i heard it was good enough to play.

@Anti-Matter you can talk about any and all FF related stuff here

As for Rings of Fate yeah it's a pretty good game actually definitely worth a play and so is Crystal Bearers on the Wii

@Anti-Matter Rings of Fate wasn’t awful but it’s a bit generic. Revenant Wings was a better spin-off on the DS.

not sure if they mean in the 3 days from launch or the last 3 days but it's a good number especially in the current healt crisis
