Topic	Raka finishes FF7R (spoilers up to chapter 17 and ongoing)
Raka_Putra 02/02/21 9:34:15 AM #47:	So. I finished the game! Wow, it really went off the rails towards the end. I didn't know what happened, though maybe partially because I didn't get very far into the original FF7. But after reading a bit of the TV Tropes page, seems like Sephiroth goaded our crew to commit deicide against the Fate Arbiter so the concept of fate no longer exists in their universe. And Sephy did this because he knew he would lose and die in the original timeline. And that's also how Biggs survived. Okay?? I gues??? Man, it's a bit of a shame that they felt the need to make the last chapter epic by killing the embodiment of the concept of fate itself and by shoving Sephy in there. Well, hopefully the pay off in the next parts will be worth it. We'll see. Overall, it was still a really good game. The graphics are breathtaking, the characters are endearing, the voice acting is excellent, and the gameplay...is not my favorite, but it worked most of the time. But against the bosses it can become easily repetitive and frustrating. You can't cancel most actions but the enemies have very quick attacks with slow to no wind up animation... Also, materia are very important that there's little reason to use the weapons with less amount of slots. And they don't feel really unique other than the obviously magic-focused one and the attack-focused one. I had a weirdly easy yet hard time choosing the weapon for the final sequence because, well, they are more or less the same anyway and the boosts for elemental damage or increase defense if HP is low or whatever are negligible. Or at least felt like they should be negligible that I didn't care to try them out. And the motoring part, less said about that the better. The story itself was actually pretty good and easy to follow for the most part. But really, the characters were the highlights for me, especially Aerith. She's just such a joy to be around. Seeing Cloud slowly growing fond of everyone else and Barret with his boisterous yet caring attitude are also awesome. Characters ranking: Personality: Aerith > Barret > Tifa > Cloud (> Red) Battle: Tifa > Aerith > Cloud > Barret --- Into the woods, but mind the past... Into the woods, but mind the future! <cite>Raka_Putra posted [p:950191394] in Raka finis... [t:79237264]...</cite> <quote>So. I finished the game! Wow, it really went off the rails towards the end.
