I can’t stand Aerith (in combat). I rock Cloud Barrett Yuffie

90% of the OG players are stuck in nostalgia and will never admit even if it was better lol some f*** nigga on Reddit was arguing with me about how this game should've been TURN-BASED LIKE THE ORIGINAL IN 2024 and I got downvoted so bad my karma went in the negatives

Chapter 12

Nah f*** anybody saying less. It's a 10/10.
One of the most fun games ever at its heights

Radiant ward changed that for me. I body with Aerith with that

Radiant Ward is nice but I feel like she takes forever to build ATP, and she's fragile as well. Also I've yet to unlock Ray of Judgement which was my go to in Remake.

Lol minus her dumb dodging animation, Aerith is OP af when used right.

Arcane Ward is your friend

I don't really use magic like that

The story/vibe of the world and soundtrack of the original are way better for me, personally. Nostalgia's an obvious part of it but

But for everything else the remakes are better. I mean it's a PS5 game vs a PS1 game.

They're so different though tbh it's difficult to even compare. But it's undeniable they did an awesome job at bringing these characters to life with modern tech.

PERFORMANCE PATCH JUST DROPPED

looks a lot better

Was just about to hop on this too

this yuffie/tifa/barrett party is fun

wish we could take cloud out the party and lead with someone else whenever we want in the main game

Nahhhh I need Cloud in the party at all times. His combat is just too damn satisfying for me to get rid of.

Cloud is fun too. Don’t mind him at all

Tifa and Yuffie have that crackhead speed combat tho so I prefer them to cloud. Barrett is a goat tank/healer so that set yuffie/tifa/barrett party was odee

My usual party is cloud/tifa/yuffie

Hated Aerith until I discovered Radiant Ward. She’s fun as hell to use w Radiant Ward IMO.

Wait what LFG

Picking it back up today to finish side quests and head into the final chapters perfect timing

A turn based option would’ve been nice

Still looks like ass

Didn’t look like ass before the game is gorgeous even on performance. I do have an OLED so that could be helping, but the graphics stuff is way overblown IMO for such a massive game.

There's still a pretty big downgrade from quality to performance that I don't see in most games, the patch does look a little better though. If you fw it tho that's all that matters

Wym even it’s only playable on performance

Didn’t even know people were complaining about the graphics. Game has looked and run great since day 1 in graphics mode.

Cloud/yuffie/tifa my main party as well. I’m usually changing it around tho. I think the cloud/barrett/red 13 combo is extremely underrated tho.

Pipe down about sales

Sold more in 1 day than XVI did in 10

That tifa yuffie Aerith party comp in chapter 9(?) is so insanely fun especially with the context of how in a rush and hurried that scenario is
