^ Yes, I also relied on Barret's Lifesaver ability to win this fight. Thing is: I wasn't completely sure how the game mechanics of this ability worked, because it didn't seem to be doing what was advertised. More specifically, my party setup was with Cloud & Barret > 9000 HP and Aerith ~4000 HP...

Cloud in 1st class outfit is already in the game - double-check Cloud's flashback cutscene with his Mom during chapter 8. Strange that many people seem to have missed that.

What's funny is that in the OG, his named was actually localized as "Rouge 13", but everyone I know and myself were calling him "Red Treize" anyway :mon: I don't know how his name was localized for the remake, though.

Hey folks, A bunch of people (myself included, at least at first) had been a little disgruntled at the fact that the collapse of the Sector 7 plate seemed to have spared every named NPC, lessening the impact (:awesome:) of the disaster. So, in my most recent playthrough, I was thinking of...

Not quite, the model that was used for Cloud was the one from the flashback with his Mom in Nibelheim (happening at the end of chapter 8 in Aerith's house). Tifa's sexiness aside, seeing all these videos with the alternate outfits make me feel like I'd easily fall for DLC costume packs.

To me the comparison is kinda moot. It's like when people try to compare two sportsmen or teams who dominated two different eras and ask "who's the strongest?". Each is a product of its time. Besides, maybe it's not a fair comparison right now because we do not have yet the complete experience...

EDIT: I double-checked, you're correct. Thanks for pointing that out. I see where the tunnel is on the other path now. Maybe that would have worked for most people. But I'm pretty sure that if they had made that choice, you'd have found folks saying "when you're in the Wall Market, there's the...

Re: slums skybox. I actually thought about it, but my thoughts seem so much at odds with everybody else's that I'm contemplating that my opinion is bullshit. BUT, since we're in a good community where I feel comfortable enough to make a fool of myself, I'm going to share that with you. OK here...

Man, that is seriously a tough call. As a fan of seamless action, obviously Tifa's moveset is a treat. Especially after getting Starshower. That being said, I really have a particular fondness for Cloud's Punisher Mode. I get a lot of satisfactions from Guard/Counters. Probably a Tifa/Cloud tie...

Yaaay! Finally finished Hard mode yesterday. Got the platinum along with it. A few notes: - took me only 110+ hrs (and being already 99% done with Hard mode) to figure that Soul Drain is only efficient on staggered enemies :mon: - Hell House was not as difficult as I had feared, BUT I already...

Thank you for your extensive research, which you have conducted with a thorough scientific approach. On unanimous decision of the committee, you are hereby awarded your Masters in Botany.

^ I actually shared some of your frustrations on my first playthrough, and that was one thing I didn't like about the Whispers of Fate. It seemed as though success or failure in something was independent of my own actions, so doing anything would be vain. You could argue that being robbed of...

Re: bike minigames - one thing that worked for me and I'm not sure if it's obvious or not to the people who are struggling with this: accelerating to catch up with your enemies isn't necessarily the way to go. Knowing when to brake and be slow is a good part of avoiding damage. Case in point...

I'm getting there... after reading people's reactions, I decided to skip chapter 9 for now and moved on to the rest. I finally cleared chapter 17 yesterday, so all that's left is chapter 9 and 18. I managed to beat Arsenal on the first try by the skin of my teeth - While it was preparing its...

I like your idea about gauging people's reactions after giving it more time - especially with respect to the ending. When people are confronted to something they did not expect, the first reaction is often one of shock and confusion, and I too am curious about how things sit with folks. I'm also...

Speaking of Roche in part 2, what about some crazy stunt-flying race when you try to get the Tiny Bronco?

To add to that, I pointed our in another thread that the cluster of nebulae in the background oddly had a silhouette resembling Safer Sephiroth. The fact that the path to reach the Edge of Creation ("tunnel vision") is exactly the same as the journey from the fight vs Safer Sephiroth to the...

Hey folks, just finished my second playthrough in Normal. I just had 2 things to note about this chapter: - First, I'm not sure why everybody seems to loathe the motorbike chase and the fight vs. MOTOR. Got it done again on my first try with ~20% life to spare. I've seen so many raging comments...

I think I share your feelings regarding the Whispers of Fate - personally I didn't like their inclusion. I'd have been fine if the devs had changed some plot elements without inserting a plot device that reflected the act of changing plot elements. Now, personally, I think I've made my peace...

Whaa...? I beat Motorball on my first try on Normal :neo: To be fair I managed by the skin of my teeth (was probably 2 hits away from a Game Over). Still, I'm just puzzled that it has given folks so much trouble.
