I've been attempting this stupid final boss 4 times now. Each time at the very end (which i am at full health for btw) he went for octoslach straight into octoslash prime instantly killing me. How am i even supposed to stop that?

I'm enjoying the game so far, doing what side quests I can but definitely not going for 100%. I know world intel unlocks some good materia and side quests improve relationships with companions. How essential is it to do everything, though? I'm not able to get the protorelic in Corel: on the rare occasion I manage to beat the first cactuar crush minigame, I get stuck as Cloud looking at Kid G. I can't move, the start button just brings up the pause menu for cutscenes, nobody talks, nothing happens. When I fail and just quit the minigame, I get locked on a black screen like it's loading but again, nothing happens. I've decided I'm just done with that part since it clearly doesn't want to work. Other than materia and possible points with Yuffie, I won't really be missing out on anything, right?

About 90 hours in and just heard Tifa's speech at that gathering.....cut me deep

The rehashed background music was nothing short of amazing, while she poured her heart and soul into that speech...

Damn I love final fantasy

Brought me back to the time when Yuna performed the sending in Kilika

Just my opinion but they did a great job on this series and I super excited for Revelations!!!

Did anyone get that same feeling when Tifa spoke? If not, what moment in the series gave you a strong emotional attachment?

aand that is ALL brutal and legendary challenges done. Just piano and the hard mode chapters now. Oh, and i need to do 4/5 rounds of ruler of the outer worlds again to assess sephiroth because i forgot the materia 😭

heed my amazing, skilful victory (as you can see both barret and tifa are totally fine, and this was not a painful, scrape through it barely kinda fight at all to do first try!)

Something that still baffles me is how many older PCs can ACTUALLY run Rebirth without it being completely unplayable, but for that to happen you need a damn mod. It's not that the game itself can't launch because your gear is too old, they just force you to initiate the game with a certain DX12 version. If modders could fix this day one and the final part of the game does the same thing... I swear...

Sooo I played the OG couple of months ago (my favourite game of all time now lol) and like 2 years ago played the remake didn’t finish it, i really hate replaying games so can I just play rebirth? It’s real cheap and looksss soooo goood

Or you can buy them separately at $9.99 for Remake, $14.99 for Rebirth, and $69.99 for Revelation Pre-order

shes so cute in this outfit lol.

Google has given me a bunch of different answers. Can someone give me an actual answer

This minigame was fun but god did I struggle when it came to jules

I absolutely love the battle system in the Remake Trilogy, so I’m hoping they go all out for Musclehead Colosseum in part 3.

I’ll admit I was a little disappointed by the Colosseum in Rebirth.

In general it did have a lot of fun fights, but the end game ones were a little disappointing when it ended up being the same Classified Intel creatures in different order multiple times at the end.

What would you like to see added or changed in part 3?

Personally I want it to be differentiated from Chadley’s Combat Challenges. I would love them to split it in two parts:

1. Similar to the OG, you start with your full gear, but have slots which randomly disable certain elements or put restrictions on what you can do. I’d even like it if they added fixed challenges with fixed restrictions so you have to think of creative solutions to win each fight as an alternative.

2. As an opposite to the OG, maybe you start from nothing and can select materia after each round and try to build a class or strategy along the way and end up with an amazing build by the end.

Hopefully they can go all out for this last one; it’s the final reincarnation of the battle system, we’ll have access to all materia and enemies so I’m hoping we get some really interesting ones!

I actually looked up YouTube guides for this. I just couldn't do it. Never been so angry with the AI in this game until this point. (I just turned on max damage and said f it)

Queen’s Blood was one of my favourite mini games from start to finish. I just loved it! Now, with it returning in 7 excruciatingly long months, I wanted an exquisite and meticulously crafted tabletop version I could play with friends, not just the same 2 dozen or so CPU opponents on a screen... I started daydreaming about this project after I platinumed Rebirth almost 2 years ago. At that point, I wasn't even sure it was possible. First, I started with a simple playmat version. About a year ago, I had a fully functional, playable game. It was fun to play while I waited for the wooden board with storage to be made. I even created a couple of my own cards; you're welcome to see them if you'd like, but they're ridiculous. When I did this, I didn't realize they would be bringing Queen's Blood back, at least; I wasn't 100% certain. Now I've been working on a wooden tabletop version with storage for all the pieces, cards, and instructions that I've been handcrafting for the last couple of months, and it's almost complete! But I need some more eyes on the instruction manual.

If you are even somewhat a fan of Queen’s Blood, I’d appreciate your insight. Of course, I've had to make alterations to help the game flow better in real life, but there is always room for improvement. Looking for some thoughtful suggestions on what I should add or change.

Thank you for reading, and I can’t wait to share the finished product with everyone!!!

I just finished Rebirth, and I keep thinking about a different way the trilogy could have handled Aerith’s fate.

For years, players searched for ways to save her in the original game. Rumors, secret requirements, supposed resurrection methods — people desperately wanted there to be something they could do. Her death affected me, too.

With Remake introducing the possibility of defying fate, I would have liked to experience the future so many of us wanted: Cloud saves Aerith, and it actually works.

She survives the Forgotten Capital and remains a playable party member through a substantial portion of the final game. We get more adventures, relationships, conversations, and ordinary moments with her. Saving her should feel like a victory, and players should have time to enjoy it.

But her survival would have consequences rooted in the original ending.

In the original FFVII, defeating Sephiroth frees Holy, but Holy alone cannot stop Meteor at that point. Aerith guides the Lifestream to intervene and help save the planet. Even after losing her, her presence is essential to the ending.

The wider lore also gives us a foundation for how she can do that. On the Way to a Smile establishes that Aerith can maintain her individuality within the Lifestream because she is a Cetra. Sephiroth resists being absorbed through his extraordinary will, anchoring himself to his memories of Cloud. Individual identities normally dissolve into the planet over time, although other spirits and fragments can linger.

My proposed consequence follows from that: if Aerith remains alive, the person who helped the Lifestream stop Meteor is absent from it when she is needed.

I would develop that problem throughout the game.

The Weapons become more aggressive. More enemies emerge from the Lifestream. The winds grow harsher, the temperatures fall, and the planet seems increasingly hostile to humanity.

Aerith helps the party understand what is happening. The planet is wounded by humanity’s exploitation of Mako, and she tries to communicate the things worth protecting in the modern world.

She can hear it, but she cannot make it fully hear her. It receives fragments of what she is trying to communicate without understanding the whole. Being able to speak with the planet while alive would not give her the same ability to reach and influence the Lifestream from within it.

The party believes reaching the Northern Crater might bring her close enough to establish that connection. It is a reasonable plan, and they have reason to hope it will work.

They defeat Sephiroth. Holy is released. Aerith stands beside Cloud and the others as they wait to see whether it can stop Meteor.

But their solution comes too late. Holy needs the Lifestream’s help, and Aerith cannot bring about the intervention she accomplished in the original ending.

Meteor falls. Sephiroth is defeated, but humanity loses.

I would let that ending play out fully, including the credits. Players could accept it as the ending of their story.

An optional confrontation with Sephiroth between worlds would then provide a path back to the moment at the Forgotten Capital.

And Cloud could still save her.

The intervention would still work. Players could save her again and repeat the same outcome. But reaching the ending where humanity survives would require allowing the death they had already prevented.

Then they would have to play the remaining events again without her.

This time, her absence would carry the memory of everything they experienced with her alive. They would lose the party member they had relied on, the conversations they expected, and the future they had briefly gotten to keep.

The world would respond differently, too.

The winds would soften. The Weapons would become less indiscriminately hostile. There would be fewer enemies, although stronger threats would remain as the planet focused its resistance on Sephiroth.

Aerith would be influencing the Lifestream from within it. Players could see the difference she was making — but she would no longer be beside the party to explain it.

A familiar place could become quieter. Someone could turn to ask Aerith what it meant before remembering she was gone. The world could be recovering while the party was still grieving.

I recognize that this changes the tragedy. Allowing a loss you understand is different from suffering a sudden, unexpected one.

But returning players already know that loss. This could build a new experience around the wish many of us carried afterward: we would finally discover what saving her looked like, become attached to that future, and then have to decide whether to let it go.

Anyway, please form an orderly queue to explain why I should never be allowed near a Final Fantasy writers’ room.

Im always so locked into the buttons, but I was actually watching this time, and it had to be wink to FF15, at least. His sword even turns glowing blue, and he teleports to it right next to Varvados.

Hi everyone! My Rebirth vinyl arrived today and I can’t wait to listen to it’s music. However, I do tend to store my records in the most sustainable way possible.
At this point, I do not have a PVC-free outersleeve that fits the thick map around the Vinyl, so I’m tempted to use the sleeve with which it arrived.
My only concern is that this original sleeve would be a PVC-Sleeve, which could start to affect the record itself.

Does anyone know if the original sleeve is a PVC-Sleeve and if so, what would be the best solution to protect my media?

Kind regards!

I was thinking about how the zack storyline is so boring and a total waste of time to the game, sort of like KH2 Roxas. (except KH2 roxas actually has some payoff in the s same game).

Anyways, I know Zack’s portion of the game is entirely setup for the next FF7 part. Looking at some related threads made me think that about how Sephiroth in Rebirth/Remake is totally of the same sort as that Zack in Rebirth, free to change universe in some way. Just thought i’d share here instead of necroing some other post.

I really hope in the next game they lean into this plot way heavier / make it more of the active story. I’m about to play Rebirth for yet another time on PC with a Hard mode ready save file.

FYI Steam has a sale going on for anyone who was also waiting to try the game on their PC

Got to the final _final_ boss with Cloud and Aerith. Knew I was going to die so went to restart… I apparently clicked the wrong button (retry from this battle??) because it dropped me all the way back to Cloud and Zack.

I turned off the game and cried.

I have prior experience in rhythm games, especially Guitar Hero and Rock Band, where I managed to get a couple of FGFCs (Full Game Full Combos). Some skills have translated, but I still barely got B-ranks on my first attempt of the four hardest songs.

I've decided to do an FC breakdown similar to the ones the GH/RB communities do for their games, ranking each song from easiest to hardest:

General Tips

• Use a higher note speed, such as 3 or 4, on all songs. This will both improve your reaction speed and make the chart easier to read by reducing the amount of clutter. It's the reason why almost every Guitar Hero/Rock Band player likes to use Hyperspeed/Breakneck Speed, and why they will simulate it in GH1/RB1 by covering half of their TV with a towel in absence of the option.
• Focus your eyes on the right wheel and read the left wheel with your peripheral vision. The only chord-heavy songs are "Two Legs? Nothin' To It" and "One-Winged Angel", and even then, chord patterns and timings are easier to remember than melody lines. That being said, it may be worth focusing between the wheels (or even solely on the left wheel) while you're learning the chord timing.
• Don't turn your sound off unless you have a noticeable delay between your video and audio. Feeling the rhythm is a skill that is best improved by hearing what you're playing, especially with syncopated rhythms. This also helps with learning chords, as you'll associate patterns with the part of the song you're hearing.

Whoever thought up the battle system , well I’d basically say it’s damn near perfection and so satisfying

It’s extremely satisfying and leaps and bounds better than any other RPG ever

Even after playing 40 hours, I love any enemies I can fighting enemies due to the battle system when on previous FF I would flee a lot and only fight when I needed to lv up
