    I loved it when you said there is no set build for hard mode, after 100 hours on this game, I realized there is no ultimate set, and the most efficient way to go through hardmode is experimenting at all times to find the best setups for areas, then the best setup for the boss of that area etc, all the while finding a combination of materia that helps you not waste MP... this game is about thinking, experimenting, and adapting to the different enemies!

    You have to try Aerith with the Gotterdammerung necklace. Her Planet Protection limit break trivializes every fight in the game. It's so OP. If you have First Strike equipped and then a magnify- barrier combo, you can start the fight with Aerith's Planet Protection limit break and a manawall up. If you time the uses properly in each fight, your whole team will be immune to physical damage and magic damage will be halved for the whole fight.

    my go-to build for most normal encounters is enemy skill paired with HP absorb, Weapon: elemental paired with fire (if vs weak to fire) and hp absorb paired with the same elemental spell paired with the elemental materia. Equip The scarf + first strike materia to have 2 ATB right of the bat of a fight and cast the enemy skill siphon and watch your hp regen like crazy while dealing damage. All of this cost 0 mp. You can even go for the alguid aura (ice aura/damae not affected by elemental materia)

  • @bluemercenary1704
    @bluemercenary1704 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I’d only suggest that you don’t need both cure and chakra. Depending on how you can manage MP and progress through hard mode cure usually works out better as you can apply it to any character at the cost of 1 atb bar and even pair it with magnify instead of using chakra to heal all 3 for the cost of one bar. But it’s true, there isn’t one loadout you can use to rock the entire game as it is best to change it up accordingly. Fury rings can help make quick work of many enemies but you risk taking more damage as well so a lot depends on your play style as well.

    • @BltzZ
      @BltzZ  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup! Balancing your MP is the key to hard mode. Chakra alone is just fine but if needed the healing materia can help out a teammate with no ATB who is getting shredded by enemies haha

    • @austinhudson5349
      @austinhudson5349 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed, I never use Chakra. I would just make sure that I'd heal with my non-combat healer outside of combat, or the person I wasn't using as a mage because their MP wasn't as precious, like Tifa, for example. Regen/Magnify helps a ton for harder boss fights, then just have your non-main healer top people off at the end of every fight.
      That being said, I cannot tell you how many times I'd heal everyone then ROUND A CORNER TO FIND A BENCH I FORGOT ABOUT and wasted that MP for nothing. Oh well, only three bosses that killed me were Eligor because of his bullshit Reflectga, Rufus, and Sephiroth. Hell, I died more to random encounters in Normal Mode when I was awful at the game, some of them can really sneak up on you if you aren't ready.

    Love the vids man, keep it up! This damn game keeps pulling me back even after the platinum. There’s so many different ways to play it and no other game has been able to scratch that itch for me after completing it. If there’s someone out there like myself looking to replay the game in a more challenging way I recommend going through it on hard mode all the way with your starter weapons and not upgrading any slots that boost your attack/magic power and defense/magic defense. I’m also not equipping any armor/accessories that boost any of the aforementioned stats significantly , i.e geometric bracelets for extra materia slots.

    @cool_chemist7644 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great guide as usual! One thing I would add is to break open Shinra boxes to recover MP, save, reload, and break them open again until needed. In my entire hard mode playthrough I was never even close to running out of MP because of this (except, of course, in some of the boss battles, especially during the last two chapters).
    I suggest maxing out your materia and using the "Gotterdammerung" accessory (from beating Pride and Joy) for hard mode. It helps SO much, even with bosses! (along with Steadfast Block and First Strike). Most mob fights were over as soon as they started, and I rarely had to heal. For example, I remember that Swordipede mini-boss from Ch. 17 kicking my ass on normal mode. On hard mode with that accessory, Swordipede didn't even stand a chance! Cloud and Tifa pretty much finished it off with their two limit breaks!

    My go to was:
    everyone - one MP and HP plus, steadfast block (except for Aerith)
    Cloud - Buster sword if Aerith is in the party, Mythril saber if she's not (he also got all of Aerith's blue materia), chain bangle, champion belt. First strike, elemental materia on weapon linked to an element, parry, pray, cure.
    Tifa - Feathered gloves, force bracelet, transference module. All of the atb increasing materia, parry, chakra, pray, elemental and one element materia
    Barret - Big bertha, force bracelet, enchanted ring. Haste, cure, revive, chakra, whatever else the situation called for.
    Aerith - Silver staff, force bracelet, circlet. Two of the same element, one linked to MP absorption materia and the other to magnify, one other element, 2 magic plus, first strike.
    I had to change these only on Hell house (aerith got all elements with magnify on lightning, Cloud had revive just in case) and chapter 17. Oh and for top secrets I had magnified haste on Barret and used thunder linked to both MP and HP absorption on Aerith.

      I did this, fought the Scorpion Sentinel with it and felt so unfair. I did use Ascension to clear rooms on the way out of the reactor, that was fun but I never equipped it for the rest of the run after that. It's like using Knights of the Round, makes every fight way too damn easy. I just beat Emerald and Ruby Weapon in the original for my first time ever in my life because of Knights of the Round, Gotterdammerung is the same concept to me for this game. It's a whole lot of fun but it makes a lot of fights way too easy.

    My only advice to other players is: Use the command menu more often, especially in boss fights. It helps you a lot on thinking about what to do next with less or pressure since battle time slows down when you do.

      The main thing that clicked for me with the combat was simply switching characters when the one you're controlling gets targeted. I was having issues with Bahamut and watched a video. The dude did nothing special, but watching him fight that way completely changed how I approached the game and I got a lot better at it really quickly. If a character is busy, switch off, just make sure everyone is doing something.

      @@BltzZ Honestly, that's the main reason I don't use Provoke anymore. I used it a bit when I first was playing through the game but found the way you are supposed to switch constantly really discourages this; same with Auto Cure.
      If Provoke could be cast, I would use it a whole lot more, but everyone probably would tbh. I've also found most fights tend to move a lot faster than your game plan allows, I can't tell you how many times I've brought Time just in case and never used it because I just never got a chance to or thought about it. Sometimes the battle just kinda happens the way it does and you play your way out of it. So that kind of makes Provoke a dead Materia to me, but I can understand why someone who wants to really get in there with Cloud and Tifa would want to use it.

    Agreed to most assesments of mateia usage, except for the overall conclusion which is MP conservation. Truth be told you can go rather balanced on choice of materia, weapons and armour e.g using Buster Sword on Cloud since it brings overall stats to all attributes rather than using Mythril Sword for its sole purpose of MP conservation. However if you know the encounters, where benches are and enemy weak points, MP is really not a problem. Hence I prefer to select weapons, armour and materia which boost all fields as much as possible so you have a solid overall. And Hard mode after getting Gotterdammerung, mastered all materia and up`d all weapons becomes normal mode in the end.
    TLDR; MP is not a problem which this movie emphasizes. Select rather materia, weapons and armour which enhances your character overall.

    • @BltzZ
      @BltzZ  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree, I personally don't use this build for my playthrough I go for a more riskier approach. Check my new Barret infinite health build video for more insane builds. Also on hard mode you cannot use benches to restore MP, only HP. This video is for the overall safest build for hard mode that applies to most possible situations :)

    Stagger + Stop is also a great option if the enemy can be stopped, which are a lot including bosses. Once the enemy has been stunned, immediately cast Stop and unleash all your most powerful attacks. I'd definitely consider having at least 1 team member the Time materia also because of Aerith, she's semi-annoying to get her ATB bars up because her regular attack animations are slow, so she can be Hasted right at the start of every major fight / boss.
    BTW, small issue is you mentioned putting First Strike on all the characters, you can only have 2 First Strikes, 2 Elemental and I think 2 Warding, so yeah 1 member will always start with no ATB. Easily fixed if Barret is in the team because of Overcharge.

    • @BltzZ
      @BltzZ  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      When did I say to put first strike on everyone? Lol there is only 2 in the game. I mainly showcase it on whoever is applicable. If Barret or aerith is in the party it depends on who but I'd rather it on aerith since Barret can build ATB fast. Tifa I don't usually have first strike on because of how fast her ATB charge already is. Cloud is a must have and I base the other choices Barret and aerith depending on who is in the party since they rarely team up together in the story. Also I made a video weeks ago about stop materia and it's uses against stagger and pressured enemies. Be sure to check it out if you haven't th-cam.com/video/uZebgcG1xFQ/w-d-xo.html

    Not sure this still works on retrograde as I still have not landed a ps5, but in base game hard mode one tactic that speeds you through most fights is if you have magnify on your elemental attack spell with mp adsorb on the same element, with a high magic character with magic up materias fires, and firas rarely cost on mp, fireagas cost something usually but not much, though I rarely use those anyways as the cast time is punishing. Sometimes you even regen mp with fire/fira. Most enemies just die instantly, tougher ones make take a couple. I suspect with synergy this will even be better. Outside some boss fights I just ran with that on cloud, and never got close to running low on MP. I'm too lazy to constantly switch things up because Aerith is now on the team. For boss fights I'd change it up a bit, MP adsorb shines when its hitting multiple targets not a singular boss and I may want to swing something into more defense etc.

    Even though I don't plan to play on Hard Mode (I'm not the most skilled gamer and mostly play for the story lol), I do want to level up my characters and at least get the Bahamut summon materia. Your videos are SUPER helpful, and I used a few ideas when playing for the first time. Thanks for putting so much work into this!

      Thank you friend that means a lot to hear you say that! For sure man hard mode isn't for everyone but if you are up for the challenge it's all about managing and conserving that MP! After about 2 hours of playing it becomes second nature. Be sure to check out the advanced character guides for tifa and Barret as well :)

    Worth noting that sometimes it may actually be wise to start a Boss fight by using a Ga spell for that initial 20% boost when at Full MP.
    If you have MP Up &/or methods to regen MP then it's worth it! You can sometimes push a boss straight into Phase 2 with this!
    It's specially strong w Aerith when laying down an Arcane Ward first then unleashing the Ga spell with her. Put both Magic Up Materia on her too for good measure! Each cast should EASILY do 9999 damage. That's 20K worth of damage right off the bat!

    @mappybc6097 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would say that atb ward is often considered Aerith's worst skill because people insist on using it offensively.
    As an utility buff is amazing however. It lasts basically forever and it can be the difference between being able to heal/revive someone on time or being wiped out before that last bit of atb filled up.

    • @BltzZ
      @BltzZ  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ATB was is a tricky one that takes ATB from aerith to give to teammates, if you build a lot of ATB with aerith and don't mind utilizing it to help out tifa etc then it's gold!

    • @mappybc6097
      @mappybc6097 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Like I said, it's less an offensive tool and more about versatility.
      Say you are fighting multiple flying enemies. Cloud and Tifa struggle to build atb against them whereas Aerith does not.
      Or if you are fighting an enemy that counters magic like Behemoth or loves to cast reflect and/or silence every ten seconds like Jenova.
      It's also more atb and mp efficient to give up one of Aerith's atb bars so that someone else can use chakra instead of her having to use 2 bars to use prayer or waste mp to heal.
      And lastly is useful if Aerith comes under pressure from an enemy and is forced to block as she can let an ally use the atb she is gaining to either heal her or aggro the enemy instead of risking being interrupted trying to escape. It's situational, but it doesn't take up materia or accesory slots and once casted it basically lasts forever even if Aerith dies.
