Final Fantasy VII: Remake (III) PC/PS5/PS4 | Part 2 - Rebirth (PS5) - 2024

Articles seem to interpret it either way or both, but the wording on S-E site for me sounds like level scaling:

In the newly added “Dynamic” difficulty, enemies grow stronger as your characters do - perfect for players who crave constant challenge.

It's just going to be a copy of XVI's sync/leveling system. I'd bet money on it.





That shit almost ruined XVI progression overall for me btw so prolly won't be playing with Dynamic on myself. Doubt it'll be Diablo 4 levels of bullshit at least.

I barely noticed it in FF16 since levels didn't even seem to be that important.

Regardless, I think it being an optional difficulty is perfect. If you hate it, just don't use it. I personally hate when doing all side content means that I am severely overleveled for story content, so in that sense I think this option will be for me.

Yeah but you know they'll make an achievement for it so you'll have to use it if you want to Platinum.

[Tyrath]

Seems unlikely to me because it's not a traditional hard mode.

But also I have 0 sympathy for achievement hoarders who force themselves to do parts of the game they don't like. You're doing it to yourself.

verdad

when it comes to difficulty business i'm usually of the opinion more options the better. unless there's a real artistic vision at play (Soulsborns) the more the player can adjust a game to their liking the better.

That's because things scaled with you lmao. Anyway like I said, I won't be playing with Dynamic on. I'm sure plenty of people don't care and just want the normalized experience. That's an individual call.

This was pretty much at the front of my mind when I made my last post. Of course, it's not like SE hasn't dabbled in level manipulation with prior games of theirs, including XI and XIV. No attempts at justifying it have ever won me over, either. Arbitrarily taking earned power away never feels good.

Nah, the stat boosts weren't really that visible in general in that game, the issue with it went beyond the scaling. It was all about the eikon abilities you had.

As long as there isn't a Hard mode that's locked behind a Normal/Dynamic mode playthrough to unlock. Hate that shit so much in games.
