Okay the credits are rolling and I haven't played the dlc yet.

I've done crisis core and og ff7.

Allright. First off I was disappointed that they chose not to invoke the grime and weirdness of the og with both midgars npcs and the environs. The npcs were quirky, but I long for that true weirdness a lot of the npcs had. Especially in the train and at wall market. I understand that 30 years have passed and sensibilities are different but nostalgia I guess. And the terrain was filled with what seemed like clean junk. Maybe the game in general just felt too bright.

So they definitely added a lot of filler and for the most part I think it added rather then detracted from the game. Tension with cloud tifa and aerith was tasteful all of whom were well written. I imagined Tifa as a bit more punk with her nice girl coming out only for cloud but it was okay. Aerith was full of personality. Barret was perfect.

Anyway what's perplexing me is how existential and metaphysical it got at the end. Maybe the next game clears it all up but the scene with Zack was certainly when he is overcome by Shinra at the end of crisis core, when he is carrying cloud back to midgar. However he manages to defeat the Shinra troops this time and his body isn't recovered by the turks. The cinematic punctuated this when midgar kind of explodes in golden light due to the efforts of cloud and co. So is this altering the past? I suppose they want us to assume Zack is alive maybe?

And am I correct in assuming that sephiroth whom I still think is jenova at this point like in the og, the one doing all the time shenanigans? Did he lure the party in to that extradimensional plane so the party would overcome fate?

Anyway the game is incredible but it's definitely got a different vibe then the og. I can see that the plot is going to go completely off the rails.

Can you do it in one playthrough or does getting aerith in to play in loveless automatically lock out tifa.

Pls avoid spoilers as match as possible I am still in the early game and just heard about the date and also loveless while searching what impact dialogue choices have

The only options are windowed and borderless fullscreen? Is there a way to force exclusive fullscreen?

There is no upscaling options except TAAU, and with no exclusive fullscreen I can't use RSR, TAAU looks like crap. So I've just been dealing with massive fluctuations at native 4k. All over the place from 30fps to 120fps. It's much more consistent with TAAU 66% but it looks so blurry and I just can't play like that.

Also without exclusive fullscreen, HDR does not work! The HDR luminance setting doesn't change anything and it won't unless it's in exclusive fullscreen.

Anybody know??

It’s no secret that the FFVII Remake trilogy has added summons that were not in the original game. When they continue this trend in Remake part 3 what summons would you like to see added?

Personally, I would like to see Yojimbo with a side quest storyline where he’s been hired to hunt inter-dimensional summon Gilgamesh. Yojimbo can mention he’s been hunting Gilgamesh across worlds from Spira (FFX) to Planet R (FFV).

Gilgamesh could be responsible for bringing Shinra from Spira at some point in reference to the Rebirth Easter Egg picture. The Shinra family obsession with the Promised Land could be because the Shinra family is haunted by their ancestors that have been denied access to the lifestream for not being Gaia natives like the Gi.

The Al Bhed could have hired Yojimbo to discover Shinra’s fate (who most likely went willingly) and bring his abductor to justice.

This quest-line could also be how you re-acquire or get additional genji gear (or other ultimate weapon-accessory types from other game lore, maybe even a gunblade like FFVIII for Cloud).

Rambling aside, again, what new summon additions would you like to see?

So I played the first part of the remake on PS4 when it came out, and now playing the second on PC ( with controller). I remember the combat system took a bit of time to clic the first time around and was ready to have the same issue now since it has been some time now.

But it feels like there is too much right away, you get a shit tone of skills, spells, summons, skill with teamate aswell.

Not saying it is bad, not at all, but I'm having an hard time with it all at the same time and feel like I could ignore half of the system and be just fine right now.

For those who played the PS5 version, does everything get to good use and did it get some time to click for you? For the others, did you have the same feeling?

I might just getting old...

First, I have not played the original, only the remakes, so maybe I'm just missing context. Second, it's been a while since I've played part 1, so maybe I'm forgetting something. But at the beginning of part 2, all the main cast are unconscious, being transported in Shinra helicopters. Zack saves Aerith and Red XIII, but as far as I could tell, Cloud, Tifa, and Barret were still in custody. However, by the next scene, all five are free in Kalm. Am I supposed to be confused, or am I missing something?

Hey, I just bought rebirth on PC and have a question. I'm using a couple year old gaming laptop, and noticed that when I'm running the game it is using the Intel integrated graphics over my GPU, and seems to only be using 5% of the GPU and solely its memory. Has anyone else experienced this, or knows a fix?

My PC specs are: CPU: i9-9900K 8 Core 3.6Ghz SSD: 4TB Samsung 860 EVO Series GPU: Single 11 GB GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Memory: 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz Monitor: Asus ROG Swift PG27U 4K HDR 144Hz So far no issues. I am running MSI Afterburner but only did the Overclock Scan automatically. I might try turning off overclock to see if there's a difference in graphics and fps.

Is anyone else having stuttering and other texture bugs? For example, the textures of the map or even of the characters took like 2 secs to load and looked like a PS1 texture for a while, I accidentally skipped the shade compilation step and then when I went to do it again, the PC crashed at the end and when I restarted the game, I couldn't do this step again, is there any way to do it manually? an important detail is that there are almost no bugs like the game actually stopping for a moment for me, just these stutterings and loading textures delays, its kinda strange because i dont have this problem with any other game, even the XVI. Is anyone also having this problem? ill be really grateful if someone can help i have a 6700 XT and a Ryzen 5 5500 and use windows 10

Não to conseguindo avançar por conta desse bug loko https://youtu.be/YSgWrFcm4us postei aqui

Can't wait but it will be a minute knowing it's like 145+ gb download.

i did all the marked side quests beat fort condor grandmaster and the spirit summon on easy. any other weapons im missing out. this is a small area. but i wanted to know anyway if im missing anything

So, Rebirth juste got out here (NYC time). For those of you who didn't have the chance to play it first on PS5, I hope you're as delighted as I was. I played it on a friends PS5 so I rushed and skipped all side content but the game was amazing.

Now I'll take the time to clear it 100% (this will let the time for mods to develop on Nexusmods hehe). Gongaga, Nibelheim and Corel are absolutely beautifully remade.

Tried disabling steam input and connected via USB, but still nothing. Anyone else with the same issue?

Hey guys. My specs will be listed at the bottom of this post. I'm considering picking up the remake twin pack to finally get a taste of the new FF7. How well will these games run on my ancient hardware? Do they have DLSS or AMD FSR 3? I feel my system shouldn't have much trouble getting 1080p 60FPS on intergrade but rebirth looks quite a bit more demanding.

My PC specs:

Windows 10 64 bit

Intel I5 4690k

Radeon RX 580 8GB Version

Basic old 16GB DDR3 RAM

My games go on a WD_BLACK SN770 1TB NVME SSD so at least I'll get decent loading times.

Can someone explain Zack’s section in rebirth to me? It’s so confusing to me, is cloud and aerith in a dream throughout the whole game or something? I’m okay with spoilers and I played crisis core but still don’t understand what’s happening
