Final Fantasy VII: Remake (II) PC/PS5/PS4 - You're Gonna Need An Epic Account Now

[Gokulo]

I don't think XIII sequels was ever on the plan when they started the project. Only reason I figure -2/-3 had an easier dev time was because their engine was already done at that point and they had their workflow setup from years of fucking with XIII. That and -2 had a bit of asset recycling in the process.

Yeah, I believe thinking the trilogy had so much thought behind it is giving S-E too much credit.

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but they posted a fragment of interview with Kitase regarding summons and from what he said, summons will only be available during fights with bosses and 'certain strong enemies'

Did anyone ever use summons in any other situation in the original?

Though I'd take that to mean a system like XV's which would be annoying.

I mean, you can say the same with 98% of all the magic attack materia. It’s all worthless once regular attacks easily start doing more damage.

Developers should figure out a more seamless and intuitive way to implement it. Instead of just lazily slapping it on certain fights.

GFs made summon way more useful and important with junctioning and abilities. I wish other FF took a que from FF8.

In XV's system you could use summons whenever after you unlocked them, even against scrub mobs. You just had to be in low health.

I've yet to have any Summon appear in XV besides Garuda, I think maybe Ramuh popped up once.

Unless it’s a certain battle event, summons only really show up in XV if you’re super scrub tier. Even then you can flat out ignore from using them. So not entirely sure what’s annoying.

That you don't have direct control, that there's a combat mechanic that you can completely ignore etc

That UI looks amazing and being able to level up each weapon is definitely going to make me autism this and get a lot of like out of part 1.

That said, when part 2 drops I'm going to be level 99 with every materia and weapon maxed and the second half of the game is going to take 7 minutes total.

[Gokulo]

Weapon levels and skills?

[Zealot]

It's incredible. Though this makes me wonder if each part will have level caps.

I'm infinitely curious how they're going to handle progression between the games. I can see myself grinding hardcore in this, unless total experience is capped in this game. Maybe theres no more random enemies and there are only enough per area to only take you so high, otherwise I'll be upset when my level 90 Cloud leaves midgar and one shots the Zolom lol

Maybe the progression will be akin to the chrystarium.

Could also just see an option if importing a save to power up foes to match your levels FF8 style.
