Onmi posted:In the games ending Sephiroth tells Cloud "Seven seconds until the end... Enough time for you, perhaps. Let's see what you do with it." someone went and timed the scene in the original game we're talking about, and it's 7 seconds for Sephiroth to drop and stab Aerith The game cuts from Sephiroth's seven seconds thing to Zack apparently surviving his final stand.

So it's not that Shinra dropped the plate just to kill the 50,000 or so living in the slums, but also everyone who lived top side. yep, and then they publicly blame it on avalanche

yeah - the thing I've seen with spells is that the higher tier spells do more damage but not necessarily more stagger, so if your enemy's pattern is "needs to be hit with this element to cancel big death move" just throw the tiny one at them I'm about halfway through hard mode and it's basically not possible unless you get used to doing this

DeathChicken posted:From what I remember of that, you really want to focus on getting rid of all of the smaller guys, since the big guy uses them for ammo. Luckily Barret's Maximum barrage is really, really good at killing smaller guys this is true, but also, in Hard Mode, the boss casts a spell that makes all the little guys immune to physical damage

Schwartzcough posted:Here's a question- how much harder do the enemies seem on hard vs. normal, ignoring all the other limitations that mode puts on you? Because if the power difference isn't that big and it's mostly a matter of needing to learn to really conserve resources, I can see it being manageable. If you can't restore MP or heal easily AND everything is twice as strong as it was on normal, I think that's a big NOPE. I feel like stuff does more or less the same amount of damage, but is generally tougher to kill. You really have to take advantage of the enemy's weaknesses.

I only realized about 75% through my Hard Mode replay that you can cancel the recovery frames of Barret's basic attacks, and most of his abilities, into Charge.

"Advent Children ruined Cloud" is another way to say "I saw Advent Children as a kid that was too dumb to understand the concept of a character arc" like the movie has a lot of problems, but "wrote the characters as having to deal with the consequences of the thing it is a sequel to" is not one of them

Adus posted:what is Cloud's character arc that causes him to go from 'Let's Mosey (to save the world because I care about poo poo now)' to 'i'm sad about Aerith again so that i have to isolate myself'. The whole movie is about the difficulty that Cloud has in understanding who he is, as a person who has spent a large amount of time being a person that he very much was not. He isolates himself from his friends because their interactions with him remind him of the person he was trying to be, which hurts him. He feels particularly guilty over Zack and Aerith, of course - Zack more or less sacrificed himself for Cloud's sake, and Cloud feels guilty that he repaid him by attempting to steal his identity. In Aerith's case, one reading I've been interested in lately, which I believe the Remake supports, is that Aerith knows from the get-go that Cloud isn't who he says he is - even in the original, Cloud is shown wielding a fairly distinctive sword that we know once belonged to Zack. It's difficult to get accurate character readings in the original because of how awful the English translation is, but I feel like a lot of Aerith's dialogue in the Remake supports this. Anyways, point is, he also feels particularly guilty about Aerith, because he feels like he stole Zack's role in this story, and ultimately failed where Zack presumably would have succeeded. It's like... he injected himself into these people's lives, and they all suffered, and sometimes died, for it. It's very sad. Tifa also has an interesting thing going on in the movie where she's trying to get him to realize that he needs to move on from feeling guilty about not being a real person if he's actually going to be a real person ("dilly dally shilly shally"), but is also still habitually indulging him, like she does in the game - she lets him mope around for months and ignore the very real home and family they've built, and when the opportunity arises, she convinces everyone to hang back and let him fight Kadaj alone, more or less telling everybody "he kinda needs this right now" (remember, Cloud's whole idolization of Zack and being in SOLDIER was based on an inherent need to be The Big Hero). There's a lot to be said about what Advent Children does wrong (Kadaj and co. are crappy antagonists and Sephiroth just sorta coming back is real dumb, many other things), but I don't think "it got the characters wrong" is one of them.

berenzen posted:important plot information being hidden in random spots that people might never actually look at This, especially - the flashback scene that's hidden in Nibelheim is, arguably, crucial to the story, and I've spoken to a bunch of people these past few weeks who have just never seen it, because it's hidden for some reason! khy posted:I guess I'm just wary about it since it's priced at a full $60 game but comprises so little of the original game. That's why I wonder how well it stacks up and if it's worth the cost. I'm more or less finished with it now, and I put about 75 hours in. It's frankly an improvement on the original in every way (yeah, I said it). Bleck fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Apr 25, 2020 |

RareAcumen posted:Maybe for you! The only things I figured out was that he wasn't a car I could just whale on freely without expecting retaliation and 'Hmm, well there's two enemies here and they have a line connecting them. I should hit them with Triple Slash because that just ziplines me at any enemies nearby' if you Scan him it says he's vulnerable to Sleep hitting him with Braver during his reload animation is possible and a pretty fun way to approach the fight, but you can also just dodge his stuff until he's reloading and then cast Sleep on him Braver still staggers him immediately if you hit him with it while he's asleep
