Wassup fellas, where we at?
I’ve just hit chapter 9. Yes I’ve put in a lot of hours (about 35), fortunately I was able to plan for me not to have a lot of responsibilities in between February 29 00:00 and now. What also kind of helped is that I caught a cold, so next to sleeping and going for walks I wasn’t really able to do much other than play the game anyway.
Feeling better now though so instead of taking another Sunday to play I’ve been catching up on some work. Might play an hour or two later tonight.
Anyway, the game is just magnificent. It’s so jam-packed with love, care and attention it just oozes personality. For example it’s like almost every NPC in this game (and there are a LOT) has dialogue. They didn’t have to go so fucking all out hard, but they did.
The only small critique I have is that I feel like the narrative and world are slightly less “dark” than the OG to me, but that could probably be due to the fact that game production quality between 1997 and 2024 are lightyears apart. Every character for example has voice acting (duh) compared to just text and 3d polygon emotes. So in the OG you only have very limited visual cues to gauge the mood, which were darker, if that makes sense. Also, I was like 9 when I played OG FF7 so there’s that.
Also; Yuffie is fucking BROKEN
Ideal party setup has been Cloud/Barret/Yuffie for me, Barret with Stoneskin/Lifesaver and buff spells in the tank/support role, Yuffie as the main damage dealer and Cloud as whatever role he needs to perform is how I roll atm.
For me, there seems to be no other way than dynamic for the first playthrough as I switched to normal just to see where I was at and I just straight up one shot regular creeps.
End of wall of text. Anyone already further than chapter 9 here?
