In FF7 specifically most of the game's story took place on Disc 1 and the other two discs were primarily sidequests and cutscenes.

I was always nasty to my Playstation games, so my third disc was totally fucked. The only way I was able to play the northern crater was swapping to disc 2 after loading, which let me continue, but at the part I mentioned right before Jenova, the background was completely white.

thronedfire2 03/12/24 3:45:07 PM #77:	CheshireSimper posted... The real reason they didn't want saves to carry over, I expect, is that they didn't want the sales of each game to be constrained to those who have beaten each previous installment. Not any backwards compatability bullshit that could probably be fixed with a python script and 30 minutes of forethought. its probably a balance thing too. People could finish remake at all different levels, so unless they made everything scale(which people would just complain about) theyd have to reset everyones levels to some base they chose. --- I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen... <cite>thronedfire2 posted [p:979332352] in It lowkey ...

Gamefreak1000 03/12/24 6:47:48 PM #100:	cuttin_in_farm posted... I feel like SE is banking heavily in people getting the games immediately. This experience will feel jarring and bad if you play the games back to back. As someone who replayed Remake on hard mode with maxed out characters before starting Rebirth, I really don't find this to be a big issue. Rebirth's combat is more polished compared to Remake, and while I did lose access to most of my materia and abilities from the first game (with Tifa taking the most notable hit), Rebirth adds a lot of new mechanics to make up for it. Synergy abilities are pretty strong, characters have new moves (like Cloud's ranged attacks), and you even have entirely new party members to play with (Red XIII). This also comes with party flexibility, which wasn't a feature in the first game. You're also not starting at the very base level, with Cloud, Barret, and Aerith retaining some of their core abilities for the start of the game. Not to mention the balance changes. Barret in particular feels very strong in this game from what I've played, and his new bonus round ability helps with that. I'm only on chapter 4, but my level 25 Barret in Rebirth feels more fun and more effective than my level 50 maxed out Barret in remake. It would feel jarring to go back to remake at this point. --- Not changing this sig until 250 people ask. Counter-240 <cite>Gamefreak1000 posted [p:979335295] in It lowkey ...
