The announcers during the arena fights were hilarious, but I was completely taken by surprise during the Hell House fight when they had an unique callout when I summoned Shiva.

So loving cool.

Yeah. That got me too. When I summoned Ifrit.

He's always lowkey been a creep ngl. His niceties to Aeris have always straddled this weird line of 'i want to gently caress you' vs 'i've watched over you since you were a child'.

I was very distracted by how he has kept the same baby-faced appearance for thirteen years, according to that flashback. Cosmetic materia market must be booming.

This is 13 + 15, which is 28, which is 7 times 4, so obviously there will be 4 games

My only question is, does this mean no FF16 for 10 years or will they do parallel teams?

Yoshi P's been talking lately about how Final Fantasy should go back to being mainly fantasy. I'm hoping he is indeed the director of the game 'cause I want another SNES/FFIX medieval w/ steampunk style game, it's been too long.

Is poison materia worth leveling up in this game? I feel like in the older games it just sort of existed. Enemies generally weren't weak to it compared to the main elemental spells.

Is there "aggro" in this game? Or is it just based off the computer targeting user controlled characters? I have a really bursty dps Tifa build and units always attack me after I engage.

The AI will automatically target whoever you're controlling, but there is a Provoke materia that you can equip to someone to get them to periodically pull aggro when you're using others.

I got the Madame M quests and did not get any from Sam. The guide I looked at also says they are split. It's based on what you say to Sam and Madame M.

While Madame M dressed Aerith she told me to go talk to sam and that started a couple of side quests which were "Go deal with the Dress maker's dad including loving around with the medicine shop, the materia guy's request for the vending machine in the hotel and go see the gym for a squat off."

What else do you mean by the classic route? Cause the Madame version just put them in as side quests.

You got the Sam route. When you actually get the Madame M route you get different sidequests, although squats are always a thing. Madame M is always the one who helps Aerith with her dress, you think Sam Chocobo Wrangler has the chops for that???

Oh hot drat, there's different routes? Does it depend on who you talk to last? I went Andrea > Sam > Madam, so I'm assuming you have to just swap Madam and Sam or?

There's apparently a bunch of factors at play, including what you say during the coin toss and interactions with Johnny? But I don't know how true that is because I did 2 out of 3 things that were supposed to get me Sam's quests, but I paid for the luxury massage and still got Madame M's sidequests.

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



There's two routes, each of which have 2 sidequests that cancel the other route's sidequests out. You miss a couple "Johnny events" by doing the Madame's route but that only matters if you're going for trophies / completion, in which case you'll have to go back and play the other route on chapter select or hard mode anyway.

You basically have to be an rear end in a top hat to everyone to get the Johnny quests:

Describe Tifa as "in great shape," ask the guy outside the hotel "how much," chase Johnny when he runs by and agree with his dialogue option, refuse to play along with Sam's coin game, buy the shittiest massage, and tell Aerith that her dress is "alright."

If you're locked on they should finish up their current attack then go for the locked target.

The amount of details cribbed from the original is incredible. Like right from the start the loot you get and items you find are straight from the original.

I can’t wait for a long play of this game that dives into all the little details.
