Took me 55 hours to finish main story and 33 hours to after that to complete the rest of the trophies, in total I played 88 hours to get the platinum trophy, and I enjoyed everything about it, that’s why I love this game
That was seriously the hardest thing in this game... but it has to be done to get that champion belt. It's easier if you say the order of the buttons out loud so you don't lose track.
@@forestthomer3259 Good tip is to turn down both music and voices volume in the settings. All you’ll hear is the button prompts without the distracting music or voices blaring out. My average went from the twenties to the thirties by doing that. Finally beat him with 45 pull-ups by making those changes 5 minutes later.
Interesting fact that japanese games and media often times calls certain things with german names regarding the "Götterdämmerung" item. Translated it means "twilight of the gods".
It's true, in fact they have certain foreign languages that they seem to favors particularily like German, as you rightfully pointed out, or French, for example.
Best Materia combo I found is Enemy Skill linked with max hp absorb have it equiped on weapon, then apply fire or blizzard for example with elemental on the weapon as well.. it will change all the spells on enemy skill to that element. Add another spell element of the same type with mp absorb now you drain mp and hp.. cast regen on and your a healing machine.
You would need to pair enemy skill materia with mp absorb and then you can put a 🔥 or whatever element you like with elemental on the wpn to change enemy skills element type. You just wont be able to absorb hp since we have have 2 materia links at this time.
You don’t have to finish the chapters for the dresses. You just have to see the dress on the screen and wait for it to count on your play log. Check options>system>play log and check to see if you got the dress. Once you get it, save and chapter select to wherever you need to go
@@JorRaptorI had the chapter selection after I beat the game. But then I came back to the game for later, it and the DLC disappeared. Do I have to complete the last battle again?
please dont use MP willy nilly in hard mode, use stuff like chakra and prayer to restore hp outside of bosses, save mp for boss fights because the rest chairs only heal hp NOT MP and makes it insanely difficult to keep your MP which mostly only restores at the end of a whole chapter
TheSoundOfSuabNag 1. Turn music and voice off 2. Leave SFX sound on 3. Press the buttons super fast once the guide button disappear once you're past 10+ pull ups 4. If you haven't gotten more than 18+ push ups in the first round, don't bother and reset. 5. Jules will always consistently get 44 pull ups, sometime with luck he gets 41 and sometime he takes his steroid shake and gets to 50, so it's all luck. 6. Look at Tifa movement so you can time your buttons and go faster and faster after checking her movement. 7. Don't pay attention to Jules or his score when you're doing the pull ups 8. Aim to get 45 pull ups to win 9. Don't be afraid to push your buttons faster once the guide disappear, you won't get punished when it disappear and Tifas movement go faster. It's all about the rhythm. Good luck!
For the hard mode, it is possible to use "PRAY" materia, to save MP and heal all party members, this only works during battle, but it is possible when finishing the last enemy, if you use it on the last seconds it will be used even after battle finish ;)
Im still in my first play through, I'm a level 41 in chapter 16 with most of the materia mastered. I love this game, I only have to do chapter 8s quests and complete the game
lagoon 24 the two playthroughs took me around 60 hours then it was just a mop up i.e remaining dresses, an enemy skill, steal that bloody weapon and learn the skill
There's a Save exploit spot in the Northeastern vault that if you save and reload while still in it you can farm Moogle Medals easily and get a ton of items as well.
When you go through hardmode or simply sweep thoroughly through each chapter you almost don't need any of the crap items for the medals, I didn't need to and let alone exploit to get more? nah.
I had to go through the first 9 chapters on hard mode to obtain some manuscripts and level up my weapons (thanks reprieve) before I could complete every challenge - also needed to finish corneo cup coliseum challengers in Ch 9 to unlock the last challenge. About 3 hours of tinkering with materia + 5 or 6 attempts, finally made it past bahamut. Been super fun to replay the story and complete the challenges so far: just a few trophies left!
there is also a Whack-a-Box hard mode if you go and attempt it in chapter 14. you get an accessory that fills your limit gauge when you use atb if i remember right, and a trophy
Also he says hard but I am the guy who sits in midgar in ff7 original and hit lv 99 Also reach lv 50 in corneos arena the first round and played the demo to the point when where I played this on normal and it felt all throughout the game like playing rookie on madden with all the ai bars maxed out with maxed out players on all positions Even hard mod was my bitch
@@slutwagon4270 hard mode should have been unlocked from the get go. I would rather play all these games on as hard as it goes from the start. Not always a option but a major plus when able.
It was funny to me on the PlayStation as well original 7. That is why when I got to it here on PS4 that was the first thing I did. Just to hear it instead of read it 😂
Anyone else get the stagger trophy bug? I know for sure a certain boss got staggered for well over 300% but I never got it. Do I really need to use fat chocobo for it? I've only reached 295% there.
I finish the game and went to repeat chapter 6 and 7 to get the chocobo and magic up matetia. after I got those I load back to chapter 17 to do some battle on shira Intel then I notice I didn't have the 2 materials I got on repeating chapter 6 and 7. does this mean I have to repeat chapters 8 and on to carry those materias all the way to the end?
I really wished that after beating the game I was going to be able to get more copies of the same materia and even have more of the Intel battle report materia so bummer
I think they have pretty much painted themselves into a corner . By the end of the game your lv 50 , have nearly half of all summon materia , have access to and have maxed out a bunch of regular materia you wouldn't have had access to this early in the original game and have multiple weapons that are maxed out . Unless they plan on reseting a lot of your progress you are simply to powerful for how early it is into the game .
As for materia? Hmmm... well, i could see Yuffie stealing all our materia in Kalm when we see her, then give it all back sometime later in the game. For levels? That's a tough one... maybe we actually start at level 50, then have level 100 be the new max
They may limit break the level cap ahahaha!! (sorry) But with this I see no reason why the cap has to be 99, make it 200 or whatever. You can also rework materia, like how magnify sorta replaces all materia. I am cautiously optimistic.
@@thomaswalsh5848 hah nice pun ;D After having some time to think about it, having us start part 2 at level 50 would make the most sense. Then 100 will be the new max level, and maybe 150 or 200 for part 3? As for weapons, I can see part 2 giving us all the ones you can get in part 1. Not sure if they would give us (all) the skill points to boost them though. Materia wise though.... I can't really see Square letting us carry over all the materia we got in part 1, but still give us one of each maxed out lightning, fire, ice, wind, poison, cure, cleanse, and a few other more basic ones. Probably not the best materia types like magnify and elemental.
People gonna be so pissed when they find out at the beginning of Part II, all your shit gets reverted back to its base level. Materia, weapons, etc. Characters dropping down to level 25 lmaooooo
Who cares lol. Same thing happened in the Arkham games. You got the last of the gadgets at the end of asylum then started back to the basic stuff in the beginning of arkham city
A question about sidequest and skill points: if I run through the normal playthrough and get all the manuscripts from the sidequests, does running those same sidequests in hard mode get me those skill points again? What if I play through on normal again (for whatever reason), will I still get those? Does the same go for materia? Love the videos!!
Nope, once you get a manuscript you can't get it again. Even if you were to replay it again on normal, the manuscripts you already got would still be yours. Also, it depends what materia. If there's a fire materia in chapter 3, you can replay it to get that same one, but if it's a special materia like the pedometer in chapter 14, it will be replaced by a regular materia if you replay it.
@@Warrior2044 it should be under options? I no longer have the game installed so I can't pull it up. But if you Google it, I am sure there are directions.
What if I want to interact with Chadley and play the new combat simulator, but I want to do it when I replay the whole game from the beginning? Do I have to select chapter 17 specifically, or will these things still be there in I select chapter 1 and then work my way up to chapter 17?
The combat simulator and the whole mercenary thing left a lot of possibility. Could have even had side content in some of the unexplored sectors. But it doesn't look like that'll happen.
You know what’s funny I did half of all those things just by playing the game normally. And tbh you don’t really need the SP books cuz by leveling up you get most of them for the weapons
Can someone explain to me how chapter select actually works in depth though? If I replay a certain chapter will I still keep the same level and exp in that chapter? Because I have to replay chapters to collect all 9 dresses trophy
Hey JorRaptor, did you play the original 1997 FF7. If so, you will now what is going on. I completed the game and even beat the 3 Bahamuts. Greatest game of all time!
is there a way you can choose who you fight with in the final battle against sephiroth? I hear there's different ways for different people. My lineup consisted of Aerith and Barret. Anyone else have something different?
Don't know why Square decided to make Red XIII a non-usable character. Was bummed out because of that. Still an amazing game tho. I enjoyed playing it once, Have to play it again on hard mode.
I didn't feel much like playing Hard mode after beating Normal. The end game plus content didn't seem that appealing. Grinding to upgrade equipment didn't seem like much fun.
I just wish the part 2 of this is like what capcom did with monster hunter world to mhw iceborne.. they didn't downgrade players gears but added tons of content and challenges..
@@acidtrungpa4760 Part 2 will be a full priced game, yes. But saying you'd be paying "again" makes it sound as though it were already paid for. It hasn't been.
@@DemonjustinofPhoenix I had a bad experience with MGS ground zero and MGS V. I still think that was a dick move to sell Demo for half price ;) Anyway I can understand that FFVII can be a good way to get the founds for the future projects
@@acidtrungpa4760 Oh, I completely agree, in the case of GZ it was a really bad/dumb move on their part. That said, I'd argue there's an extremely large gap between the Remake & that practice. Not meaning to sound defensive about it, just seen a few too many people acting like the Remake is something small, like a demo, when in reality it's a pretty complete game with room to grow in future installments, akin to XIII itself.
is there a difference in playing the endgame on normal and hard? if there is, may i please know becasue hard mode is too hard for me and i would like to replay the game and get SP and fight more VR bosses
Yes. U can only get all the other manuscripts on hard mode (to max out all your weapon stats). I was also hesitant to play it on hard mode at first but i managed to somehow improve my gameplay. If u were able to assess all enemies on normal playthough just adjust your materia setting every start of a new chapter for example. Sewers chapter is mostly monsters so equip ice materia on weapon + elemental. Or chapters that is mostly humans - fire materia, lighting for all robots etc. You’ll be surprise how most boses are susceptible to an ailment.
are there any potential penalties or consequences to using the chapter select feature? for example if you start a chapter and do not complete it in its entirety, will you miss out on certain aspects?
deafwing they’d probably have to re balance the game if they did that. If the non controlled characters actually did anything useful this game would be faceroll easy
So let's see, max lvl is 50 it seems? I'm kinda happy about that somewhat as it seems to hint that somehow the data will be able to be transferred to part 2 of the game when it releases compared to if max was 99/100 though I'm curious how they will do it since by then ps5 will be out or if they take WAY too long ps6 :P
Does Trophy’s earn you anything in the game. What are their purpose. Until playing this FF Remake, I’ve barely logged 2 hours playing my PS in over 6 years. I’m at around lvl 36 or so and at EndGame with Sephiroth. But I’ve seen I’ve earned Trophy’s and no idea what they mean.
A question for the mastering MP battle Intel. Are there 12 types of magic materia you need to master or can I just master more of the same one? Because I only have 11 types of magic.
Hello JorRaptor, thank you for the videos, they are very informative. Can you give me a sequence base on your experience what to do after finishing the game ? like 1. complete all missed out equipments, 2. complete all missed out materia, 3. level up to 50 and max out materia, 4. finish the game in hard mode, etc. I am a bit confused what to do next :( .
I went back and beat the Aerith solo mission and I still can’t access the secret boss do I have to do it in normal as well I beat all the summons and the intel reports can anybody help
I’ve done almost everything in the game now only have to get the dressed to the nines trophy but I cba it’s just annoying to get I’ve got all of the dresses for Tifa but I still have to get 2 for Aerith and 2 for cloud
My Final Fantasy 7 Remake Theory: 1.Aerith already knows what will happen in the future of Final Fantasy 7 but she keep it to herself.We can see it in the ending of Final Fantasy 7 Original that all of the events-beginning to ending of the game,she foresaw it all.So in the start of the Remake,we can see her interacting the mako with the same reaction like from the ending of the FF7 OG 2.The Remake is the PRESENT of Final Fantasy 7 instead of the OG.While the OG is their FUTURE. 3.Zack is not alive in fact what were seeing is a FLASHBACK of the PAST EVENTS.That's why Aerith said "I miss....the steel sky" which means he miss Zack so much cuz he's dead and Zack will never return.Also Aerith knows that he's already dead when she see the flashback. 4.When were walking to Sector 8,We see already that the Whisperers knows what Aerith foresaw.That's why they attacking Aerith when we see her because weakening her will flow the true path of events in Final Fantasy OG or the future of the Remake. 5.Aerith and Sephiroth is like playing a Tournament chess.They already know that's why they want to change the future judging by their recent actions towards the game. 6.Cloud is already seeing the future(Final Fantasy 7 Original.The first sign of this is when he's talking to Aerith.He saw something about Aerith(White Materia falling to the ground,to water and saw her praying to summon the holy)but still ignore it.Other sign is the falling meteor that will destroy the Planet.
Question: when starting a chapter on hard mode, can I switch to easy to blitz through the chapter and then switch to Hard again right before I face the boss of that chapter or do I have to stay in hard mode the entire time?
Will all our weapons, level and materia cary over into part 2? It'd be worth the grinding if I can start part 2 level 50 but not if it starts us at a set level
@@Skaless because I finished the main story at level 36 and missed some materia along the way and want to have all my weapons cores maxed out also. Plus the post game content I want to do all of also.
Pumpkin Time you’ll be level 50 in no time if you just play through hard mode, same with weapon cores. I think I hit level 50 by the end of chapter 4 if not before, no grinding required.
Since the remake is only the first 8 hours of a 52 hour game, they need a lot more than just more post game content. They need an aggressive release schedule for the remainder of the game
Nick Dodson They don’t need to do anything but what they want to do start being appreciative. The schedule does not need to be aggressive as the work speaks for itself and all good things come with time as long as the next installment is as good as this initial one I’ll wait another three years for it.
Yo am i a speedrunner? I beat the story on normal mode after 36 hours. I missed 2 quests and my characters are lv 36 after thr credits. The ending felt a bit weird but the game was phenomenal!
i liked so much final fantasy 7 remake, but i didn't like the fact that it's split into episodes, if it was the remake of the whole original final fantasy 7 storyline it would have been my new favorite game (sorry for my english i am not very good speak in english)
@@evansajid4545 do you think it's realistic to have one game take 250 hours to complete the story? With our technology, that's about 4 Blu-Ray discs and 330 GB for one game. Not to mention it would take 4 more years to do the rest of the story and release it for only $60? It would cost around $200 to $250 for the complete story. Would you rather have midgar now or wait until 2024 for the rest of the game?
I mean i replayed Crisis core like 3 times, on my forth playthrough for the side quests n shit cuz them stars are ridiculous so im just leveling up slowly here n there
What are you talking about? Making you play the entire game over again with only a difficulty change does not count as "a ton of endgame content" There are a couple new enemies, a new item and some more arbitrary record/script pickups. No new/side story, new areas, new weapons, and the few new enemies that are included are just sitting boringly in the dumb simulator. Enjoyed the game the first time around but the post game content was shit.
So does anyone know whats gonna happen when the second part comes out? Such as...does it pick up where this one ends? As in your levels, materia and weapons? Also if you get a PS5 at the end of the year does your save port over to the PS5??
Gooseland RR Kinda tight about this shit being in parts - great game overall but the story is drawn out af compared to the original - i havnt finished it yet (17hours) but im assuming it would start off with a flashback of Sephiroth, Cloud and Zack on that mission where shit hit the fan - Hometown got burned and they got captured by Mojo Hojo
Im about 23 hours in. I really like it. I wish they didn’t do the parts though i would have paid more for the complete game at once. Just hope all my hard work transfers to the second part. Lol
For real tho I missed a weapon for Tifa while i was getting some damn key card in the shinra building - i tried to go back downstairs to get it and the game wouldnt let Cloud climb these car 😂😂 - i gotta cop Purple Pain in the hard mode now - I’m hyped for a real challenge tho

There's a Save exploit spot in the Northeastern vault that if you save and reload while still in it you can farm Moogle Medals easily and get a ton of items as well.
kinda pointless though bc items are useless in hard mode and you get more than enough medals just playing through the game
Or just play the box challenge the kids have and do literally nothing, you get a medal just for participating
It's faster and you get multiple (4-5) Medals for around a minute run time with loading screens with a ton of good items to sell at least on the side.
When you go through hardmode or simply sweep thoroughly through each chapter you almost don't need any of the crap items for the medals, I didn't need to and let alone exploit to get more? nah.

True. I dont really like going in to play a full chapter just to do something. It's annoying really.

there is also a Whack-a-Box hard mode if you go and attempt it in chapter 14. you get an accessory that fills your limit gauge when you use atb if i remember right, and a trophy

It was funny to me on the PlayStation as well original 7. That is why when I got to it here on PS4 that was the first thing I did. Just to hear it instead of read it 😂
Anyone else get the stagger trophy bug? I know for sure a certain boss got staggered for well over 300% but I never got it. Do I really need to use fat chocobo for it? I've only reached 295% there.
What i take from this is at end game i can do hard mode, combat simulator, do the madem m quests i didnt get and hunt for dresses adn thats it.
Oh there's another way to effectively yse raise to max it our you know the ghost in chapter 11 you can use raise on them and its an instant kill
what!!
@@RaymondLo84 yeah its true
Instant kill the ghosts?
Yes
I finish the game and went to repeat chapter 6 and 7 to get the chocobo and magic up matetia. after I got those I load back to chapter 17 to do some battle on shira Intel then I notice I didn't have the 2 materials I got on repeating chapter 6 and 7.
does this mean I have to repeat chapters 8 and on to carry those materias all the way to the end?
I really wished that after beating the game I was going to be able to get more copies of the same materia and even have more of the Intel battle report materia so bummer
I think there are a few? You need to get bahamut
Its already easy enough tho. And barely anything yo.fight.
There's a secret fight for Gotterdamrug accessory. Try it on hard mode.
@@JonathanLopez-sh7yz yeah I got it after many tries
I'm really curious how Square is gonna handle the next installment as far what equipment/materia/levels will carry over from this game, if any...
I think they have pretty much painted themselves into a corner . By the end of the game your lv 50 , have nearly half of all summon materia , have access to and have maxed out a bunch of regular materia you wouldn't have had access to this early in the original game and have multiple weapons that are maxed out .
Unless they plan on reseting a lot of your progress you are simply to powerful for how early it is into the game .
As for materia? Hmmm... well, i could see Yuffie stealing all our materia in Kalm when we see her, then give it all back sometime later in the game.
For levels? That's a tough one... maybe we actually start at level 50, then have level 100 be the new max
They may limit break the level cap ahahaha!! (sorry) But with this I see no reason why the cap has to be 99, make it 200 or whatever. You can also rework materia, like how magnify sorta replaces all materia. I am cautiously optimistic.
@@thomaswalsh5848 hah nice pun ;D
After having some time to think about it, having us start part 2 at level 50 would make the most sense. Then 100 will be the new max level, and maybe 150 or 200 for part 3? As for weapons, I can see part 2 giving us all the ones you can get in part 1. Not sure if they would give us (all) the skill points to boost them though.
Materia wise though.... I can't really see Square letting us carry over all the materia we got in part 1, but still give us one of each maxed out lightning, fire, ice, wind, poison, cure, cleanse, and a few other more basic ones. Probably not the best materia types like magnify and elemental.
jb0258 unless they make things a lot more difficult from the start of the next game
People gonna be so pissed when they find out at the beginning of Part II, all your shit gets reverted back to its base level. Materia, weapons, etc. Characters dropping down to level 25 lmaooooo
...and you need to pay a full price again ;)
That's every Metroid sequel. Pretty standard in gaming. I wouldn't mind it.
The first is level 7 to 50, the sequel can be level 25 to 99.
Who cares lol. Same thing happened in the Arkham games. You got the last of the gadgets at the end of asylum then started back to the basic stuff in the beginning of arkham city
@@A-Dubs398 Same shit with all Zelda games
Same with FFX and X-2. 13 and 13-2.
You can do some VR Missions in Chapter 16, just go back into the simulator after you use it for the story
A question about sidequest and skill points: if I run through the normal playthrough and get all the manuscripts from the sidequests, does running those same sidequests in hard mode get me those skill points again? What if I play through on normal again (for whatever reason), will I still get those? Does the same go for materia?
Love the videos!!
Nope, once you get a manuscript you can't get it again. Even if you were to replay it again on normal, the manuscripts you already got would still be yours. Also, it depends what materia. If there's a fire materia in chapter 3, you can replay it to get that same one, but if it's a special materia like the pedometer in chapter 14, it will be replaced by a regular materia if you replay it.
there are some manuscripts that are only available in hard mode
Dude thank you for these videos. I'm replaying now, and it's been helpful finding the items I missed the first time. You rock, man!
How did you go to the chapter select? I had it after I beat the game, but when I came back, it disappeared.
@@Warrior2044 it should be under options?
I no longer have the game installed so I can't pull it up. But if you Google it, I am sure there are directions.
What if I want to interact with Chadley and play the new combat simulator, but I want to do it when I replay the whole game from the beginning? Do I have to select chapter 17 specifically, or will these things still be there in I select chapter 1 and then work my way up to chapter 17?
They carry over
Can you only get 1 ATB Assist in the game ?
I'm curious if there will be any DLC for the game. There is plenty of stuff in and around Midgar that can still be explored
What I've heard is that Squeenix is jumping right into the next part, so no DLCs planned for this one. Pure hearsay though, we might be surprised.
The combat simulator and the whole mercenary thing left a lot of possibility. Could have even had side content in some of the unexplored sectors.
But it doesn't look like that'll happen.
no ultima or omega weapon ?
Can I go back into chapters and multiple copies of rare materia like magnify?
No
Will these items carry over to the next game tho... cause if not -_-
I like the way the did their new game plus I think it’s better than any other games implementation
using the mana regen weapons are best than the supposedly 'ultimate' weapons... mythril sword, silver staff...
I'm still on my og weapons and will always be on them (buster sword, leather gloves) 😂😂
You know what’s funny I did half of all those things just by playing the game normally. And tbh you don’t really need the SP books cuz by leveling up you get most of them for the weapons
Said no completionist ever
Can someone explain to me how chapter select actually works in depth though? If I replay a certain chapter will I still keep the same level and exp in that chapter? Because I have to replay chapters to collect all 9 dresses trophy
How do I go to the chapter selection?
Anyone know what is actually crossing over to part 2?? I feel all this work is going to be taken away when part 2 come out.
They better be a working on transferring your saves for part 2
Yeah I feel that too.
How can you get your weapons to level 6 when you've acquired everything in first playthrough?
You can't get to level 6 in your first play through. You have to start picking up the manuscripts in Hard Mode.
You can get enough manuscripts on normal to get up to level 6 weapons
I've been 100% the game, I love it
'Final Fantasy 7 Remake has a lot of post game content'
Final Fantasy XII: *Laughs in 2006*
Hey JorRaptor, did you play the original 1997 FF7. If so, you will now what is going on. I completed the game and even beat the 3 Bahamuts. Greatest game of all time!
Guys, is it possible to get elemental materia after I finished the game? (In case I missed it during the main campaign) ??
I went back to ch 14 as I didnt pick up 2nd elemental materia. Is there a way to not have to redo the side quest?
No
is there a way you can choose who you fight with in the final battle against sephiroth? I hear there's different ways for different people. My lineup consisted of Aerith and Barret. Anyone else have something different?
Ya there's a ton of endgame content, except the actual end of the game
Lol true
Thanks good overview.
Don't know why Square decided to make Red XIII a non-usable character. Was bummed out because of that. Still an amazing game tho. I enjoyed playing it once, Have to play it again on hard mode.
Does this have a horde mode or arena mode to just do fun combat for levels and levels and levels like dmc 5 bloody palace
I didn't feel much like playing Hard mode after beating Normal. The end game plus content didn't seem that appealing. Grinding to upgrade equipment didn't seem like much fun.
Can you get a 2nd magnify materia if replayed in hard ?
I just wish the part 2 of this is like what capcom did with monster hunter world to mhw iceborne.. they didn't downgrade players gears but added tons of content and challenges..
Question do you think is it possible that they might release a DLC that changes the team look to the child of advent if possible ?
One thing is still unclear to me about part.2 It will released as DLC, or I need to pay full price again like they did with FFXIII-2 ?
It will be a separate game akin to XIII-2. The FFVII Remake games are planned to reflect XIII in terms of how they're releasing.
@@DemonjustinofPhoenix So we will be required to paid again full price?
@@acidtrungpa4760 Part 2 will be a full priced game, yes. But saying you'd be paying "again" makes it sound as though it were already paid for. It hasn't been.
@@DemonjustinofPhoenix I had a bad experience with MGS ground zero and MGS V. I still think that was a dick move to sell Demo for half price ;)
Anyway I can understand that FFVII can be a good way to get the founds for the future projects
@@acidtrungpa4760 Oh, I completely agree, in the case of GZ it was a really bad/dumb move on their part. That said, I'd argue there's an extremely large gap between the Remake & that practice.
Not meaning to sound defensive about it, just seen a few too many people acting like the Remake is something small, like a demo, when in reality it's a pretty complete game with room to grow in future installments, akin to XIII itself.
i needed this.
I'm giving you the like for the quality of the video and for the awesome resources you put in the description. Thank you.
Thanks!
Are there any perks for finishing the chapters in hard mode? Extra scene or something ?
You get more manuscripts for doing quests and defeating bosses, and a gold trophy for finishing hard mode. That's it.
You get an extra scene with chadley if you do all the combat simular
CidGuerreiro1234 damn that’s a little disappointing .
is there a difference in playing the endgame on normal and hard? if there is, may i please know becasue hard mode is too hard for me and i would like to replay the game and get SP and fight more VR bosses
Yes. U can only get all the other manuscripts on hard mode (to max out all your weapon stats). I was also hesitant to play it on hard mode at first but i managed to somehow improve my gameplay. If u were able to assess all enemies on normal playthough just adjust your materia setting every start of a new chapter for example. Sewers chapter is mostly monsters so equip ice materia on weapon + elemental. Or chapters that is mostly humans - fire materia, lighting for all robots etc. You’ll be surprise how most boses are susceptible to an ailment.
are there any potential penalties or consequences to using the chapter select feature? for example if you start a chapter and do not complete it in its entirety, will you miss out on certain aspects?
You'll miss your life
I also just went back and got the EKG
Love this game ... I want them to incorporate the Gambit system in this game some how with the materia ..synergy seemed to have so much potential
deafwing they’d probably have to re balance the game if they did that. If the non controlled characters actually did anything useful this game would be faceroll easy
@@Skaless it already is on hardmode. the hardest fight in the game takes like 5 minutes to beat all the espers.
Your pronounciation of "Götterdämmerung" was pretty good ;) . Rated by a German. ^^
So let's see, max lvl is 50 it seems? I'm kinda happy about that somewhat as it seems to hint that somehow the data will be able to be transferred to part 2 of the game when it releases compared to if max was 99/100 though I'm curious how they will do it since by then ps5 will be out or if they take WAY too long ps6 :P
PuppyLuvU2 I hope this isn’t true because then it could be in the next chapter is the last chapter
Does Trophy’s earn you anything in the game. What are their purpose. Until playing this FF Remake, I’ve barely logged 2 hours playing my PS in over 6 years. I’m at around lvl 36 or so and at EndGame with Sephiroth. But I’ve seen I’ve earned Trophy’s and no idea what they mean.
A question for the mastering MP battle Intel. Are there 12 types of magic materia you need to master or can I just master more of the same one? Because I only have 11 types of magic.
You need to level all the green materia. Fire, wind, lightning, ice, binding, healing, poison, subversion, time, cleansing, barrier & revival.
You have to master once of each type.
Keep them coming bro 👍
yes will do thanks for watching
Hello JorRaptor, thank you for the videos, they are very informative. Can you give me a sequence base on your experience what to do after finishing the game ? like 1. complete all missed out equipments, 2. complete all missed out materia, 3. level up to 50 and max out materia, 4. finish the game in hard mode, etc. I am a bit confused what to do next :( .
I went back and beat the Aerith solo mission and I still can’t access the secret boss do I have to do it in normal as well I beat all the summons and the intel reports can anybody help
I’ve done almost everything in the game now only have to get the dressed to the nines trophy but I cba it’s just annoying to get I’ve got all of the dresses for Tifa but I still have to get 2 for Aerith and 2 for cloud
played 115 hours platinum the game now I need some DLC :(
It's hopefully called FF7R Part 2, asking for anything else is pure.... *sigh*
@@PrinceVinc *part 2 of 50
Do you have to go through a lot of chapter 16 to get back to the combat simulator?
@@justafan2745 The chapter 17 simulator only opens after you've finished the story.
My Final Fantasy 7 Remake Theory:
1.Aerith already knows what will happen in the future of Final Fantasy 7 but she keep it to herself.We can see it in the ending of Final Fantasy 7 Original that all of the events-beginning to ending of the game,she foresaw it all.So in the start of the Remake,we can see her interacting the mako with the same reaction like from the ending of the FF7 OG
2.The Remake is the PRESENT of Final Fantasy 7 instead of the OG.While the OG is their FUTURE.
3.Zack is not alive in fact what were seeing is a FLASHBACK of the PAST EVENTS.That's why Aerith said "I miss....the steel sky" which means he miss Zack so much cuz he's dead and Zack will never return.Also Aerith knows that he's already dead when she see the flashback.
4.When were walking to Sector 8,We see already that the Whisperers knows what Aerith foresaw.That's why they attacking Aerith when we see her because weakening her will flow the true path of events in Final Fantasy OG or the future of the Remake.
5.Aerith and Sephiroth is like playing a Tournament chess.They already know that's why they want to change the future judging by their recent actions towards the game.
6.Cloud is already seeing the future(Final Fantasy 7 Original.The first sign of this is when he's talking to Aerith.He saw something about Aerith(White Materia falling to the ground,to water and saw her praying to summon the holy)but still ignore it.Other sign is the falling meteor that will destroy the Planet.
Chapter selesct is a great way to speedrun or exp farm nice
Question: when starting a chapter on hard mode, can I switch to easy to blitz through the chapter and then switch to Hard again right before I face the boss of that chapter or do I have to stay in hard mode the entire time?
You can’t change the difficulty when playing hard mode, so no unfortunately
@@amekaiza would not be hard if you could cheat
Can u only get Arithe lvl 2 limit break in chapter 9?
Wish I would have known about them the first time thru
Will all our weapons, level and materia cary over into part 2? It'd be worth the grinding if I can start part 2 level 50 but not if it starts us at a set level
Most likely, yes
Why grind? you level cap naturally and really quickly
@@Skaless because I finished the main story at level 36 and missed some materia along the way and want to have all my weapons cores maxed out also. Plus the post game content I want to do all of also.
Pumpkin Time you’ll be level 50 in no time if you just play through hard mode, same with weapon cores. I think I hit level 50 by the end of chapter 4 if not before, no grinding required.
I missed the steal weapon from the ghost... that and the arith coliseum stuff. That's it.
i found bahamut quite doable tbh..... just have magnyfie+barrier and give all chars manawall right before his mega flare
Since the remake is only the first 8 hours of a 52 hour game, they need a lot more than just more post game content. They need an aggressive release schedule for the remainder of the game
Nick Dodson They don’t need to do anything but what they want to do start being appreciative. The schedule does not need to be aggressive as the work speaks for itself and all good things come with time as long as the next installment is as good as this initial one I’ll wait another three years for it.
Not hating on the game but I laughed when I saw the title of this video lol course most all this I did during the game
Waspman Z yea it’s a stretch
Do you have to be in hard mode
Yo am i a speedrunner? I beat the story on normal mode after 36 hours. I missed 2 quests and my characters are lv 36 after thr credits. The ending felt a bit weird but the game was phenomenal!
champion belt can steal off bandits
The best thing that came to my mind was to replay the original, and realize how much better it was.
i liked so much final fantasy 7 remake, but i didn't like the fact that it's split into episodes, if it was the remake of the whole original final fantasy 7 storyline it would have been my new favorite game (sorry for my english i am not very good speak in english)
@@evansajid4545 do you think it's realistic to have one game take 250 hours to complete the story? With our technology, that's about 4 Blu-Ray discs and 330 GB for one game. Not to mention it would take 4 more years to do the rest of the story and release it for only $60? It would cost around $200 to $250 for the complete story. Would you rather have midgar now or wait until 2024 for the rest of the game?
Level 17 is a bike mini game as well
I mean i replayed Crisis core like 3 times, on my forth playthrough for the side quests n shit cuz them stars are ridiculous so im just leveling up slowly here n there
What are you talking about? Making you play the entire game over again with only a difficulty change does not count as "a ton of endgame content" There are a couple new enemies, a new item and some more arbitrary record/script pickups. No new/side story, new areas, new weapons, and the few new enemies that are included are just sitting boringly in the dumb simulator. Enjoyed the game the first time around but the post game content was shit.
This game is GOTY for sure.
We should have a direct option for the VR
So does anyone know whats gonna happen when the second part comes out? Such as...does it pick up where this one ends? As in your levels, materia and weapons? Also if you get a PS5 at the end of the year does your save port over to the PS5??
Gooseland RR Kinda tight about this shit being in parts - great game overall but the story is drawn out af compared to the original - i havnt finished it yet (17hours) but im assuming it would start off with a flashback of Sephiroth, Cloud and Zack on that mission where shit hit the fan - Hometown got burned and they got captured by Mojo Hojo
Im about 23 hours in. I really like it. I wish they didn’t do the parts though i would have paid more for the complete game at once. Just hope all my hard work transfers to the second part. Lol
For real tho I missed a weapon for Tifa while i was getting some damn key card in the shinra building - i tried to go back downstairs to get it and the game wouldnt let Cloud climb these car 😂😂 - i gotta cop Purple Pain in the hard mode now - I’m hyped for a real challenge tho
video please on the choices like a full Dummy version, its confusing to figure it all out lol :) that' be amazing
