Aw you're delusional too :'( Don't worry, the army loves delusional people. They're easier to convince to go off and die for no reason.

Nope I'll be staying here.

Uh no that would make you an absolute coward parasite. Give yourself more credit than that.

So you're joining the GOP so you can be part of the next shipment of troops over there? Strange plan but good luck

Can we send them as troops?

The idea being that the Ukrainians sell the troops for money? I think it would be easier to just send the money directly

It's like 30 seconds OK? VGM music back in the NES days were all like that long, don't try and shame me here I'll kick your ass.

I'm shaming the OST people really! They should have some way to find the song you want, like an index page explaining where each music track is played

Someone create a GPT that searches FF7R soundtracks for the 7 second clip of music that you're looking for

Damn that's brave af that you're willing to send yourself and your family to the warzone to defend Ukraine. Thanks for your service. Do you plan to still post on gfaqs when you're there?

I don't understand why I can't add an Exploration node to a new game like the JRPG Demo seems to be doing.

Exploration isn't a node, it's a scene (see the movie clacker symbol). So you have to copy the Exploration scene file into your project, then you can drag it into your scene. You also have to copy any files that Exploration uses.

I used pretty much no items all game until chapter 14 where I used like 50 (phoenix down, giga potions, mist megas)

The thing with Revival is you can use it in summon fights, but you can't use items

Legs but biceps/back is probably not far behind

I have self employment and several other 1099s and mortgage interest deductions and such, and my taxes are still simple to do since the standard deduction is so high nowadays. I really thought my itemization would be better than the standard this year but it wasn't even close.

Being able to import from previous years is worth FreeTaxUsa for me though. Also state filing.

Bruh have you even browsed boards other than B8?

I used to years ago and they were pretty memey and fun. I imagine more try hard games like Counterstrike, or console war ones like Spiderman, would be more angry.

Shortcuts are crucial for toggling between different tools.

And yeah Godot by default always hides child nodes of other scenes. So when looking at Game, Exploration's children will be hidden.

When looking at Exploration, Player's children are hidden. But you can actually see Opponent's children. That's because it has the Edit Children checkbox ticked when you right click it. The children have yellow names to indicate this.

When you run the game, there should be a new Remote tab. This contains the scene tree of the actual running game. No nodes are hidden here, so it's the best place to search for a node across all scenes. The nodes here also show the actual properties that are used and updated at runtime, so you can watch them change as you interact. And you can change them manually to update the running game.

My next search is for Player like I saw in the JRPG Demo, but I don't see that node yet.

Can you inspect the demo scene and see what nodes they use for each object?

Oh you're talking about hard mode nvm

Here's the secret: Any time they force a party, they make the game super easy so you can win even if you don't have any materia equipped.

Especially if the party doesn't include Cloud, there's basically no chance of losing. There's a couple exceptions to this, but definitely none in the final stretch.

You really just need to have Cloud well equipped at all times (Haste, Block, etc). It helps to have Cure and Revive on many people but even that's optional because you can always use items instead. Item Economizer is pretty awesome for that actually, since it significantly saves ATB more than any other materia.

I would bet that the end of the next game will be like how the TTGL movies change the original TTGL ending. Everyone will become a Cetra God and combine to defeat Super God Sephiroth. They already teased it with Tifa. She will merge with her dad, Barret will merge with Dyne, Cait will merge with Dio, Cloud will merge with Aerith, and they will all do a Super Holy to finish off the game. You'll have to press L2 and R2 87 times in a row to pull it off.

Red sensing Aerith is too intentional for me to think it's ALL in Cloud's head

One more theory that would explain this. We've only seen a few people sensitive to the lifestream. Aerith and Seph seem to be able to manipulate it and jump around on demand. Cloud and Zack can traverse it but can't control it. Red can just sense it.

Aerith can do so because she's Cetra. The rest only have 1 commonality, which is that Hojo did some mako shenanigans on them. Hojo accidentally tuned them into the lifestream. Zack and Cloud had the heaviest dose, so they are more sensitive to it, and specifically attuned to each other's consciousnesses. Aerith helps their sensitivity too, especially Cloud's. But even before meeting Aerith, Cloud channeled a ton of Zack's lifestream, which is how he was able to become so strong in under a week. The Seph clones channel Seph's lifestream in the same way (but weaker), which is how Roche got stronger and became able to do some Heartless Angel style attacks.

Seph got some lifestream sensitivity at some point, but started going deeper with the help of Jenova. In the Japanese, he mentions that he absorbed all of the Ancient's knowledge, which is probably how he became able to manipulate the lifestream like a Cetra.

One thing I forgot is that monster dude with a copy of his own face as his body is the absolute peak of FF enemy design and we need more of it

PONR? There's a shit ton left after that lol. But from the final fight warning it's like 1.5 hours ish

On a much broader note, I really can't tell if mako is supposed to be fossil fuels or nuclear energy. It's a limited resource that is eating away the planet, which points to fossil fuels. But it also destroys local towns and creates weapons of mass destruction like nuclear.

afaik Japan and pretty much everywhere was super against nuclear in the 90s so that would make sense. But nowadays fossil fuels climate change is the much bigger issue with nuclear seen as a solution. And "don't look up" is often a reference to climate change.

So are they trying to play both sides here? Are they just anti energy and growth in general? In which case mako would be more of an indictment of the 90s bubble economy?

Yeah it is tricky because on one hand you're saying it's consciousness only that can shift but like, we watched Sephiroth cut a hole in reality and send Zack, body and all, tumbling through it? That's a lot more than just his mind/consciousness??? Actually come to think of it we saw Aerith do the same thing with Cloud in the church too. Or is it, like... the "reality hole" is just something the mind perceives, so the consciousness goes tumbling through it while the body stays behind? really I just need to stop thinking about this, lol.

I think it was just consciousness in both cases. Represented as body. But when they wake up, they do so from consciousness only.

In Cloud's case, you can imagine his body went comatose again after Aerith sent him away. Then Seph killed both of them a few seconds later in the church. Seph always kills Aerith, Zack always dies by platoon fire, etc

MartinFF7 posted...

Also agreed, though where I'm a little stumped is whether it's just your consciousness that can move between worlds or your whole physical body

It seems pretty clear that it's consciousness only. We've never seen more than 1 body in one place at the same time, and Cloud & Aerith needed their comatose bodies to jump into. Also in the original Japanese, Aerith refers to the lifestream as containing the Cetra's consciousnesses. So it's more that consciousness is physical and the lifestream is a physical place that consciousnesses can go. They can only enter the world through an existing body though.

One thing that is weirdly unanswered is Aerith in R1. There were a lot of hints that her consciousness was from the future. This ending confirms the mechanics of that. But how did she get back to that timeline's body?

MartinFF7 posted...

Also means there are two different Aeriths right now, technically? "our" Aerith who died and is in the lifestream, and "other" Aerith who's in the world where she survived, popped over to help Cloud in his final battle, and goes back to her "second home" in the other world at the game's end?

To me it seems like there's only "our" Aerith who is the main one and who is in the lifestream and who fought with Cloud. The one who survived is from an alternate timeline, and you can imagine infinite of those. But the alternate timeline isn't real/canon. They just showed it to confuse the players, and then switched back to showing the main timeline. Same as Zack choosing to save Cloud vs Biggs. They flipped between both confusingly, but none of those are really canon. The only canon Zack is the one who died and is now in the lifestream and who fought with Cloud.

Another interpretation is that there is only 1 lifestream version of a character. All the dead versions of the character merge into that lifestream version. So the lifestream Aerith is all the infinite Aeriths who were killed by Seph, including the one in the main timeline. Then that combined lifestream version can hop into living bodies and retain their infinite memories. So the Aerith who fought with Cloud is the merged lifestream version, and same with final boss Seph, and the Seph who jumps into his clones. It also explains why he wants to destroy all the worlds, so he can merge with all of them in the lifestream and become complete.

It's the same with Zack too, but a bit trickier because Seph apparently was able to cut part of Zack's lifestream consciousness away? It seemed like Zack ended up in the real world after that and couldn't go back.

Woah in the original, Tseng asks Elena out on a date. I like what they do here instead with their team up attacks, implying they already dated.

The rest of the temple seems way better in the original though. Sephiroth's appearances and Cloud going crazy are much more clear. And the gimmick of having to shrink the temple to get the materia is more fun than what happened here, and makes more sense as a sacrifice for Cait instead of him just running in and becoming super strong somehow.

Yeah, I know, pretty flimsy but I'll roll with it since it's basically what happens in the original.

If it's like the original then that makes sense, it doesn't need to be bulletproof. I figured a lot of this was new to set up the multiverse stuff but I guess not.

I do think the Aerith at the end is very much in the lifestream. You could call her dead, or a ghost, but she can hop between dimensions so she's definitely still around.

People will be happy with whatever they're given. There's a ton in this game no one would mourn.

If they make the whole game more like the highwind ocean exploration part, that would be cool.

Also best parts of this game were anything with Zack. It's so clear how much better his character and story is. That's part of what made Gongaga the best area too (though it was mostly the level design).

I hope the next game is like half or more of new Zack stuff. It's probably going to be called Reunion so it would make sense to relate it to the Crisis Core remake.

colliding posted...

I expect the third game to be smaller and a little more like Remake.

That would be awesome, but I doubt it. Does the 3rd act of the original have these big areas to explore though? If it's tighter then I could see them going back to R1 format.

Just finished. The timeline stuff was weird but I think it ended up pretty straightforward by the end. The lifestream is a multiverse that only Aerith, Zack, Cloud, Seph can traverse.

I don't fully get where/what Sephiroth actually exists in this game though. The final fight is him, but every other time is just Cloud being puppeted? Or sometimes it's a random zombie guy like when he stabbed Tseng?

Also everything about the black materia confuses me. Everyone spent that whole time going through the temple and fighting for it, and then they decide to just put it back because it's not that important? Why the F did Aerith say it was fake? Why did they just toss it around like a toy?And kept letting Cloud get ahold of it even though it obviously was making him psycho for the last 3 chapters?

And finally I don't get Seph's motivation at all. He didn't actually try to get the black or white materias for himself. Why did he need to kill Aerith? What about the alternate dimension Aerith who survived?

Why the F did they put material auto collection in the post game only? That would've made the game feel so much better.

Also I only just found the Leviathan summon...

Oh wait I pressed the wrong restart button which is why I got sent back 30 mins. The first option is the right one.

Uh it happened again except at 0 pixels during a synergy special that literally hit him multiple times after 0 pixels. I still got interrupted and OHKOd from near full health. What a waste of time.

tfw the final boss has 2 pixels left but you die and click restart and it sends you like 6 fights back

I'm glad Nomura decided to put the real Kingdom Hearts 3 at the end of this game.

Honestly it is kinda fun. I don't get it at all so far, but I haven't finished it maybe. Maybe later tonight.

Elena & Tseng team up moves were cute af

QTEs are the best because failing them is always goofy af

Do you get a special board too?

That is obvious. He's asking for actual recipes. At least I'm assuming people aren't buying $250 cooking machines just to reheat pizza rolls slightly better.

Oh one thing I've gotten addicted to is fried tofu. You take the tofu block out, microwave it for 2-3 minutes so it releases steam, then when it cools slice it into whatever size you want. Toss it in oil and seasoning and then air fry on 400 for 10-12 mins. If you're using silken tofu (my fav, but more difficult) you have to carefully toss the pieces in a seasoned 50/50 flour/corn starch mixture before oiling them, but otherwise it's the same.

With the right seasoning you can eat them just on their own, or toss in any sauce (chili crisp, sweet soy glaze, thai curry, etc) or soup or anything really. I've often ordered a saucy takeout and made this while waiting for it to arrive, then used it to absorb the extra sauce for a free 2nd meal.

The best tofu to get is the boxed one that isn't refrigerated, forgot what it's called. Also the same thing works for chicken thigh (breast will likely be overcooked), but you prob need more layers of breading and oil.

I thought I could finish 13 yesterday but didn't. Seems cool so far though. Am I supposed to be on edge for Aerith's death yet? Because I am and it seems like they are teasing it. I also have no idea where it happens in the original since I've only seen it in the form of a 2-second gif from 2003
