Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

[Cthulhu]

I played it for a bit (context, my only other experience with anything similar is CoD Mobile that I played for a bit, that one's pretty decent imo). It's all right. It's a battle royale game, err. Stuff. Won the tutorial mission, got killed by a tonberry a few times .

Weird lag spikes while playing though, like the whole game locks for a split second while idk, loading an asset or something.

I played this game for a while. It’s somewhat fun. Not bad. Love the concept. Not a BR fan and this won’t convince me to try others lol. But overall it’s ok. I would prefer Ever Crisis. But hope all of you are enjoying it.

Consoles have no shortage of cheap, cynical free-to-play games. Why is this one any different? There's just no reason for it to be exclusive to mobile.

I placed 14th (for hiding mostly) and I now have 1 kill to my name! Yep, I’m pretty much god at this game.

Pairing a controller is super easy. Quick guide: take your PS4 or PS5 controller and hold the PS and Share buttons. The lightbar should start to flash. This means the controller is ready to pair. Then just open your phone's Bluetooth settings and connect.

However, at least when using my PS5 controller, the button bindings in the game settings were completely inaccurate. For example, Triangle in the game settings was melee, but during gameplay L1 was melee. Maybe it's just a problem with PS5 controllers? There's no way to rebind buttons unfortunately. Definitely practice in the training mode first.

Was able to fit in a match tonight. 3rd place with 5 kills. I kinda don't mind the touchscreen controls?

I found this room in the basement of Corneo's mansion O_o

Thanks so much for this info, it's very helpful.

What buttons let you select and use materia? I'm trying to get the hang of using a controller but I still can't figure out how materia is used with it

 

[cold_spirit]

Just tested my PS4 controller and didn't run into any of the issues I had before. It's pretty comfortable. I'm thinking of taking my game to the next level and ordering one of those controller phone mounts.

Hold L1 to ready your materia, then press either L2, R1, or R2 to cast one your three magics.

can you play this on iOS?

Yep!

Got it working with a controller on my partner's ipad! I won my tutorial match with 3 kills but have proceeded to be very bad in any real matches. I'm having fun finding locations from the game though! Player id is 85349730481 if anyone wants to add.

I added you

I need to find more people to add to my list lol

Wait, I'm using a PS5 controller, so what is it in backwards land?

EDIT: GODDAMN THESE PS5 CONTROLS!!! Why is the map inputted on the damn L3 Button?!?! If I'm running for my life and press the analog stick too hard, I just stand there, gawking at my fucking map. As I get brutally slashed and shot at.

Please fucking fix these control issues LMAO wtf.

Yeah, stay away from those. They're surprisingly lethal.

And nothing's more fun than landing on the map next to another SOLDIER and then proceeding to immediately killing each other. LOL some truly Deepground type of shit right there.

 

[Leafonthebreeze]

I was pootling around on the edge of the map and heard a motorbike in the distance. Figured I'd try out aero, see if it affects bikes. Immediately killed by the bike. Figured I'd actually spectate this time (I don't usually). The dude has not got off the bike, nor has he encountered any other players. He just bikes around in a big loop.

I think I got killed by Roche

 

[Makoeyes987]

Congrats!

Being the last one standing is all that counts.

I have yet to win a single match, but at the same time I'm not too bothered. The game does know how to incentivize you to play and find enjoyment in leveling up. I'm rather surprised I'm not raging at this game yet.

It also seems fairly generous. The random shit I've unlocked and won as cosmetics are actually cool looking.

I keep being killed by everything ?

 

[Makoeyes987]

I feel like Team Matches would be more satisfying.

Has anyone played those yet?

I hope team matches means we can team up with friends. I'll do my best to fuck around on the battlefield and get all of us killed

Off to practice the controls in tutorial mode, because I'm sure I'll get myself killed doing this in a live match.

 

[ultima786]

Does the ps4 controller work better than the ps5 controller? I feel like something is off when using the ps5 controller

 

[Kai Schulen]

Don't have a ps5 controller to compare, but based on what cold_spirit and Mako said last page, the controller buttons in the settings page match the ps4 more than the ps5.

Also, because the settings don't mention this: to go into aiming mode, hit L2, and to shoot, hit R2. It took me a long time to get it, because what the hell are these controls, SE

After getting killed fairly early in my first 2 live matches (I did it for the ranger daily I hate that job class) I managed to stay alive long enough in my 3rd match to kill 3 people (I snuck on a guy when he was taking supplies, hehehehehe), and do a failed lover's suicide with a wind drake. The wind drake survived.

Asshole.

I wasn't able to figure out how to cast magic or even look down the sights with my PS5 controller. It's just not compatible. Some mappings are swapped, others are missing entirely. Rest assured opening the map is Share/Select on PS4 controllers.

I did get that phone mount and it's pretty comfortable. $12 USD well spent. Hopefully Ever Crisis has controller support too.

So my last match I managed to survive until 18 players remained sorta took the cowardly route. I Manged to dive off towards the edge of the area then snuck around the edges of the area until the shrinkages started which then prompted me to move forwards more, I really wanted to explore which is kinda hard to do when people are taking pot shots at you, not the point I know of a BR game but still I wanted to look around, picked up a load of items, killed a few hedgehog pies which was fun, I hate the controls though, it just doesn't feel fluid and I felt like at times I could be vulnerable while trying to reposition my camera angle. Still on the fence about it and don't like how in your face the shop os when you load up the game, but I'm gonna stick to one or two matches a day and take it slow until I can figure out a way to enjoy it more.

 

[1rstClassSoldier]

I’m like playing it on my iPhone 7 lol and I suck big time but I’m practicing even learning tips

 

[Leafonthebreeze]

I'm finding an ipad on a stand on a table in front of me with a ps4 controller means the controls feel fairly OK. Every now and then something wont work or goes funny but I can usually just hit the button on the screen instead when that happens (need this for potions quite a lot, and occasionally for opening chests for some reason)
