I reset all upgrades when I was around level 40. I purchased all materia slots first, then hand picked some of the unique perks, then bought the mathematically most efficient stat increases (favoring +MP, +ATK, +MATK), then from there set everything to auto upgrade balanced and stopped looking at them until I started unlocking the new orbs with hard mode skill books

Man they really gonna. Male me play the game a third time to get all the manuscripts because of chapter 9.

Hell, I gotta do it 4 times if I want all the dresses, because the Cloud dress I'm missing is the one for doing none of the quests!

Do I have to finish a chapter for or to count getting a manuscript if I've already beaten it once on Hard? For Tifa's dress, can I do the chaoter with the dress question, then jump to 8 to do none of Aerith's quests for her dress, and then just move into 9?

Yeah you only need to redo Chapters 3 and 8, you don't need to do the whole game again.

Ah, interesting. So I guess it keeps record of whatever you did the last time you entered a particular chapter. Do I still have to complete the chaoter though?

I suppose that would make it easy to get the Barret bonding moment since you can just skip all the Tifa and Aerith points.

Okay all trophies done except dresses and the summon gauntlet fight. Whisper Bahamut was a lot easier on my 2nd try. Cloud's limit break took like 75% of his health and then he was immediately pressured and very easy to kill the rest of him.

Really dreading this Ifrit/Bahamut fight

Oof. Beat Bahamut + Ifrit but I died on the last fight. I didn't look up anything in advance to prep or whatever. I think I could do it on a better attempt at my strats. I got nervous and played badly. Got Arise interrupted 2 or 3 times in a row and that ended it. When I could have just swapped off characters and healed for a second. Sucks that my third revive isn't maxed but anyhoo.

Platinum trophy get! Ifrit and Bahamut weren't as bad as I was thinking they were going to be. Double Fire+Elemental on armor was very useful so I could just ignore Ifrit and keep focusing on Bahamut.

Question. If Barret has Lifesaver on, and you have elemental absorbtion on a different character, does Barrett get healed or do you get healed? Or does Barret take DAMAGE?

Also, was a little dissappinted when I put a max HP up on Barrett just now and he went to 9750, and then I put another one on and he went to...9999, because that's the cap <_<

My guess is that Barrett takes damage but I think I used Lifesaver 2 times in my 53 hours of playing.

I use Lifesaver in basically every even remotely long battle. Only having one super tank to worry about healing frees me up to put Magnify on Haste or Manawall.

It's pretty funny that the internet went into a reflexive "Baaaaaw Nomura" at how this game ended, and judging by the recent interviews, he was the only one in the creative room going "Yo let's dial this back a little"

There's a thing called saving face. People's reaction to the end of the game is just that. Clearly square noticed and is telling them to dial it back now

I'm really excited for how this is going to go. I wouldn't have been anywhere near as excited if they'd played it straight. But I'm also not as emotionally tied to the original as some.

If it leads to a more satisfying ending than the too-ambiguous one we got, and if it leads to the game not tanking in that stretch between catching up to Sephiroth in the Northern Crater and the infiltration of Midgar, then even better. Those to me are among FF7's biggest flaws.

Some info on Sephiroth from the Ultimania. https://mobile.twitter.com/aitaikimochi/status/1256217127457099776

Basically final boss Sephiroth is the only one that is completely new. Before that, the Sephs only Cloud can see might just be Cloud's messed up head, the Sephs everyone can see are Black Robed Men, and then the obvious flashback moments.

Alright, I'm ready for Hard Mode. Most of my Materia's maxed out.

Chapter 1 went well. I stupidly forgot to put Revival Materia on Cloud so I couldn't revive Barret against the Scorpion - too busy trying to max out the remaining unmaxed Materia (HP Up, etc). And Barret was the only one with Lightning attached. Still won easily though, so that's a good start?

I didn't as I picked them up, though I also did basically all other quests in between, but when they were listed on top of each other when handed over to Marle, it was clear imo.

It was incredibly easy when I went in with that mindset. Big tip is to use steadfast block and prayer and just defend/heal for the first two fights, since they're just on a timer and don't actually matter. Ascension embarrasses Whisper Bahamut, triple slash the last Whisper fight to an easy victory.

Yeah that reminds me, I meant to post: I stumbled on a guy on youtube doing a blind playthrough of the remake, and I mean really blind. I didn't watch every minute of footage but I'm under the impression he doesn't even know about End of Disc One.

So there were lots of great reactions to be had. Hell House, Honeybee Inn, Red XIII talking, but the reaction to Cait Sith was probably my favourite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZgOcMIwqM0#t=1h48m39s

Haven't seen the ending yet but will be interested in seeing endgame reacs...

I remember taking a stab at going back but I couldn't find my way and figured I should just go beat the game... the game makes a big deal about being able to return to the "central elevator" though? But is that just the Drum elevator or lets you go back to the lower floors? Google isn't really helping/turning anything up...

On your first play through you can't do Aerith battle simulations I believe. You need to beat the game and then use chapter select to go back to chapter 17. You need to skip like 2 cutscenes and 1 battle and then you can access battle simulator again.

Maybe, though the biggest laugh in the game was "nailed it, I know, thank you. Moving on." Voice actor did a great job there.
