Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (gameplay/combat)

[ForceStealer]

The derpy yellow "dragons" don't do it for you?

 

[Shademp]

I am so disappointed every time you see this giant mural and instead you fight teeny, derpy, winged dragons. Every time.

How Heavy Tank ("Tankceratops") plays into all of this and the planet's history of dinosaurs, I do not know.

What a coincidence. I just found out last night that "Tankceratops" is not the enemy's actual name. That's just what everyone calls it.

Been said before, but I'm looking forward to Heavy Tank being expanded into a boss fight like Swordipede and Hell House. When an enemy is that absurd, you have to go all in or it just doesn't work.

 

[Shademp]

"Heavy Tank" is such a bland name that it feels almost inevitable that they will change that enemy name in Remake. Its official name really SHOULD be Tankceratops.

[Odysseus]

melon actually called it "Tankosaurus"...

Give me triple linked materia slots.

We all know about normal linked slots. Enhance an ability with a support materia. However, with triple linked slots, you could enhance an ability with two support materias or enhance two separate abilities with one support materia.

Examples:
Fire - Magnify - MP Absorb
Lightning - Magnify - Ice

I think this would go a long way in opening up the battle system. And with who knows how many parts left, we may be in need of some additional complexity.

I've long fantasized about triple-slots

 

[Shademp]

Triple-linked materia slots is one of those orthodoxy-breaking ideas that just make me blush with naughtiness and I love it.

The imagination now takes me to a single-slot bangle with 4x, or even 5x, Materia growth. WE ARE GOING AGAINST THE WILL OF THE HEAVENS BUT I DON'T CARE!

 

[cold_spirit]

You're probably aware but the Volant Armlet, exclusive to Intermission, has one materia slot with triple growth.

Fun fact: the Chthonian Armlet, compatible with the Gozu Drive and Mezu Drive accessories, changes color depending on which you have equipped.

I really like the idea of certain amor and accessory combinations granting additional buffs. Hope they do more with that.

 

[Shademp]

Is there any accessory that boosts materia growth? I've forgotten most of the main game's equipment and I know very little of Intermission's unique armor and accessories.

I really like the idea of certain amor and accessory combinations granting additional buffs. Hope they do more with that.

This is a great idea!

 

[cold_spirit]

No accessory with that property, but the ludicrously priced Cacstar DLC weapon increases AP earned from enemies (in that way it benefits Sonon as well).

Somebody on VII's world thought that was a great idea too. Next thing everyone knew, they were watching Omega sail away to the stars with the Lifestream.

Many have. That's why on the eighth day, God created your mom.

As usual, just lurking. Choked on my wine because of this.

All I really want is for them to expand on synergies from episode intermission. Dual and triple techs, baby!

Maybe something like this:

When playing as Tifa you can synergise with Cloud and do a set of specific moves. BUT if you’re playing as Cloud and you synergise with Tifa you access a different set of moves. Having this apply to every single playable character and the same for triple techs could open up a bunch of opportunities.

So, if you’re playing as Barrett and you Synergise with Cloud and Tifa, you get a set of triple techs. Then you get different triple techs depending on which character you’re currently controlling

 

[Tetsujin]

I just wonder if Limit Synch will still be a thing. Imagine unleashing three limit breaks all at once

That would be a great evolution of XVs combined attacks. Also a way to replicate ACs battles which were full of joint acrobatics.

Bad news for me, many times I've delayed winning a fight just so I could finish the boss with a limit break. Now I'll have to do that x3

 

[Kain424]

Same.
