The most disappointing aspect of the remake is that Aerith does not physically hit things with her staff, making that metallic bonk sound that is permanently etched into my brain from the original. If they gave Cloud the Nail Bat early on they could have given Aerith a battle umbrella.

It's especially funny with Bladed Staff. A giant double ended spear that she shoots magic from.

exquisite tea posted:Barret's voice actor is really doing some work in these later chapters. The entire English cast is good but Barret especially has been elevated from what was, if we're being honest, a caricature in the original to a relatable and engaging character in his own right. Remake Barret's character is great, I just think he's the least fun to actually play as. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but he just felt less powerful than the other three.

My Barret puts da team on his back with Lifesaver, Warding, Dispel and Heal magic. He's MVP.

I liked to play as Barret. Between overcharge, maximum fury & focused shot he could knock enemies into stagger while pressured and deal a ton of damage.

is there any kind of fast travel/backtrack part to other areas in the game? I'm only like in Ch. 8 but wondered if that was even a thing.

Yes she does. If you are close enough to hit them, she also does melee damage. That sound isn't there though, of course.

Barret naturally being ranged means he's less likely to get interrupted, and his big HP pool means he can take a lot of punishment. You can start out every encounter with Steel Skin + Lifesaver absorbing damage from Cloud and Tifa at a reduced rate, then just heal back up to full. Barret has been my ranged support tank/healer all game.

People laugh at me when I say I prefer to play Barret to Tifa  I know she's the stagger queen, but Barret is the glue that holds the team together. A really sturdy, tanky glue

Chapter 17 question. Is it possible to find Chadley again from this point, barring clearing the rest of the game? Saw a walkthrough mention he should be on this floor (it's the area with the endlessly spawning Unknown Entities, some stairs and a vending machine/bench but I'm not seeing him anywhere.

Chapter 12 I know what's gonna happen. I know it's coming. Still felt like a gut punch when it occurred. Kudos to the Remake team for pulling it off. Turning the pillar into a full-on Avalanche-Shinra warzone and the scenes with Marlene...

I keep dying on the second motorcycle section haha. I absolutely hate when these games switch to forced crappy minigames instead of the actual game mechanics, and it's entirely based on a mix of the lovely camera and me being impatient at the game "allowing" me to catch up and wanting to end this as quickly as possible.

I'm serious, it had it's own section in the tutorial info on chapter selection.

He's there on all difficulties after you beat the game, it's the new post-game VR missions that are hard mode only. You can go in on any difficulty to do Aerith's solo stuff. It'll be impossible to miss him then, he stands right next to your critical path

Nearly everything about this game is so drat good, holy poo poo. Still sidequesting through chapter 14 so I haven't seen it all but it has been great so far. My main issue is that my instinct is to go full agro and button mash attacks, and most of the time that is a bad idea. Once I started rapidly swapping between characters things started working a lot better. It also took me way too long to realize that you're supposed to hold down attack for Barret rather than mash it, and once I realized I was doing that wrong he became almost as fun as Tifa to play as. I had a bunch of close shaves on boss fights, but embarrassingly my only actual game over was the third time you run into Burke's Badasses, when they bring in Mongo as their clincher. If he manages to grab you it does a stupid amount of damage and Cloud was solo at the time so welp. The Honeybee Inn sequence is outstanding, the music is great, the VA work is great though I don't care for Sephiroth, and thankfully I haven't even had any of the texture streaming issues that some people have experienced. I was not expecting this to turn out nearly as well as it did but I'm sure glad they pulled it off.

Seems fine to me. He's pretty much the guy who created half the stereotypes of over-the-top anime villains in video games anyway so so I'm not sure what else he's supposed to sound like. If anything Tifa's voice acting sounded really weird and wooden in the beginning but idk maybe I got used to it.

I really like his voice. He actually sounds really unhinged and creepy. In the past when Sephiroth was voiced he always just came across as bored and generic.

I dunno, at least the first couple of times it comes up Sephiroth's VA sounds kinda... like a regular guy? He just seems way too level and calm compared to how he looks and what he's saying. I also really like how conflicted the game has me feeling about Rude. I want to cheer him on because he practically bleeds cool out of every pore despite his dorky crush on Tifa but come on bro you don't get to say things like "I'm not a bad person, but sometimes I do bad things" when you run over to push a button that you know will murder thousands of people.

If I'm about to wrap up Chapter 14, should that be 20 sidequests completed? Not sure if you're supposed to get the trophy before or after finishing the entire game for the first time.

Also, you can't get the trophy the first time through, as one of the chapters has two alternate paths giving 26 total side-quests. You get a chapter select on completion though.

I just got through the Roche bit, and I actually like the guy. Doing the  move when he saw Cloud go by, and his  face when his bike was disabled was great.He seems (at least at first glance) like someone that doesn't give a poo poo about the company, he's just absolutely bored off his rear end and wanted to get into a fancy motorcycle fight when he saw the chance.

I'm gonna time how long it takes to run from sector 5 to the playground via Wall Market and compare it to getting there via the monster/thug/puzzle infested tunnels.  What are you playing at Aerith.
