I only ever used Magnify with offensive spell materia through my (Normal) playthrough. Which is interesting because I usually consider myself a fairly defensive gamer.
But Aerith double casting Thundaga-All and filling the room with lightning is immensely satisfying.
There are two Elemental Materia. You get the second one for completing all the Chapter 14 quests.

You're right, Shademp. I'm surprised Avalanche endorses such unjustified exploitation of Midgar's fauna.

The treatment of blue materia is interesting in the Remake compared to the OG. In the OG, I'd sell maxed All materia because I had tons and didn't need anymore. In the Remake, the Magnify materia is my precious baby that I treat with love and care.

How immensely frustrating that even though I cleared all sidequests in Ch14 and scoured the areas over and over, I still managed to miss that Elemental materia. Gosh darn it.
One thing I did not miss out on though was this elderly couple in the church.
I enjoy that there are multiple NPCs in prayer pose in FFVIIR, praying both for the safety of their loved ones and for the souls of those who died. In OG and Compilation canon, Aerith has almost a monopoly on the prayer pose. One exception would be the mourning lady in Gongaga who appears to be kneeling in a prayer pose in front of a grave.

Man: Come to think of it, I haven't seen Aerith around lately.
Woman: You don't need to worry about her. I'm sure she's out there, doing her part to help the wounded.
(Don't remember which one) : May all those suffering find refuge...
(Don't remember which one) : And may the fallen find their way to the planet's loving embrace...

I have to admit it kind of beggars belief with the amount of time that you spend It was kinda staring right at me after maybe a cutscene or something?

I thought Barret was referring to the Ifrit materia. I went back and got that one and assumed I was good to go. I guess I completely forgot about the Elemental when I was about to head to Chapter 7

Oh wait, d’oh I forgot that the pews are also present at the beginning of Chapter 8, they just get destroyed before the Reno fight starts proper (though the animation visual continuity isn’t perfect as it only shows Cloud explicitly destroy one row/side of pews). So someone just gets new ones to replace the old destroyed ones (which are then destined to be partially destroyed by Tifa and Loz).

There's so much detail in that Reno fight, I never get tired of playing it.

Did anyone else feel really, really bad for the little Tonberry that Corneo's flunkies deployed in that side quest?
The enemy Intel on it was awful, bought on the black market. And he was just standing there beforehand all peaceful like.
I was heartbroken killing the little guy

That tonberry would slit you with a broken bottle for two pins. Don't let their cute faces fool you. They hate everything and everyone. Why do you think their attack is called 'everybody's grudge'? They're nothing but festering toxic cesspools of rage and spite. They murder small children.
PS I really like the idea that there is a black market in trading 'battle' animals that are rare or endangered species. Canon accepted!

I remember when I first played FF7 and got to the north crater. I was pretty unfamiliar with Final Fantasy tropes at the time, so I didn't know what a Tonberry was. So I get into a fight with one, and I notice it looks a lot cuter and friendlier than the other enemies, and I'm just like "oh, maybe this is one of those friendly enemies." I thought it might do something nice if I waited for it, I'd played other RPGs with enemies like that. So I just let the thing waltz right up to me. Then it shanks Tifa and she dies instantly. At that moment I learned for the first time what true betrayal felt like. So yeah, no sympathy for no tonberries from this guy.

The Master Tonberries usually just Everyone's Grudge me to death long before they get close enough to shank me...

The first time I fought that battle i didn't even see the tonberry. Cloud Tifa and Barret just went in full throttle and the first I knew of the tonberry was seeing it dead on the ground. Second time around and it won't stop KOing my entire party. See, they know how to bear a grudge.

By the way, I'm surprised none has mentioned it, but has anyone else found Kotch still bound in Don Corneo's dungeon?
That's the sort of silly detail faithful to the OG that I love to find in this game.
