That R1 tip about Materia management is a revelation 😂

@ZnoopBoB

3 жыл бұрын

Reached 45 hours and now i found out about this. Its more useful in hard mode as u actually need to know what materia to use

Summary of tips: 1. Use magnify materia with healing material, for example. Will heal all party members. Also, upgrade this materia as quickly as possible because it will increase its efficacy on all targets. You can also use magnify on attack materia as well. 2. Regen cancels out poison. You can use regen more cheaply than trying to cure your poison status. 3. Focus abilities. These abilities are made specifically for increasing pressure/stagger gauge. The damage isn't great, so don't use this on enemies that are already staggered. 4. Assess. If you've already assessed an enemy, you can press the map/touch-pad button to bring that assess window back up, free of charge. 5. Elemental materia. There are 2 of these in the game, and they are super powerful. Pair up with elemental materia, like fire, ice, or lighting -- elemental materia will put that effect on your weapon. Or, you can put it on your armor and half damage received by that element. Use this to great effect, like equipping ice+elemental on armor, then fighting Shiva. 6. Barrier materia. Level this up asap because you can learn Manawall, one of the best support spells in the game. 7. AP Up materia. 100% more AP points toward materia when linked up with a materia. 8. Barret. When holding down his basic square attack, he will stop to reload at some point. At this point, push the triangle button to help charge his overcharge ability for free. 9. Cloud. Berserker mode -- hold down square while in punisher mode to activate Berserker mode. You'll see a small Berserker icon in the ATB window. This increases Cloud's attack damage, but also damage received for a short period of time. A double-edged sword. 10. Cloud. Punisher mode --press triangle in operator mode when an enemy is about to attack to counterattack that enemy and change into punisher mode 11. Hold down square during a cut-scene to access the menu after cut-scene finishes so you can prepare properly before a boss fight. 12. Materia -- press R1 in materia menu to see all characters' materia equipment for simpler materia management. 13. L2 switches mini-map on/off

I mean it'd be nice to have like a subchapter or something so you're not so tied down by the story while replaying, because honestly chapter 9 drags on and you can end up having to play it up to 4 times while trying to platinum. And no I'm not talking about cutscene's more like the psuedo-cutscenes where they jerk control of the camera away and force you to slow walk into a trigger or wait for dialogue to end.

My issue is that they’ll literally have you wandering around the ENTIRE map from sector 5 to 6 to 7 with the side quests because they won’t tell you where they are the like the (SPOILER ALERT, SPOILER ALERT) like the chokobo mission where you have to go around and find the three that escaped. Like they literally could’ve at least hinted to where they were on the minimal but no you had to go the actual stations and check from the station map where they might be

Once you get the prayer materia level that shit up. Love that materia, treat it nice, give it lots of exercise. Once its fully leveled it basically can restore your entire teams HP without using MP. Sure, it uses 2 ATB bars. Equip it to either Barret or Aerith and bam! You're healer can come in super clutch and it will allow you to pair Barrier with Magnify instead of healing materia.

Combat tip for Tifa. You don't necessarily want to spend unbridled strength after building it up, it upgrades pretty much everything about her; her normal attacks, her abilities, her air combos, even her movement speed (I think). There are scenarios when unloading both levels of unbridled strength on an enemy is the best way to pressure them, but unless you know what they are it's better to just save it up until the enemy is staggered, then use it for a super combo because it builds up stagger damage. Something like True strike > True strike > Triangle > Triangle > Dive Kick or Starshower.

@alexislopez9355

Thanks for this tip. I had no idea. I'm taking notes, so I can understand FF7 Remake's combat mechanics better , and I've just including your tip in my notes.

Remember that using Tifa's Unbridled strength is a pretty significant DPS increase, as it not only adds more attacks to her damage string and lets her build ATB quickly, it also gives her a small damage boost on all physical and magical attacks, which can be further enhanced by skills on certain gloves.

I am at chapter 17 of the game and gotta say there is never a dull moment in FF7R. Everything is paced beautifully and every character has a unique personality. Love the game. Thanks for the tips, they would be useful when I play in hard mode!

I've seen a lot of these videos but yours was the best in giving the most unique and just helpful pointers. Great video!

Great video here are some tips I discovered on my side that u might not know: -U can skip cutscene by holding triangle and go to menu bar before boss fight by holding square. - if u go to menu options and select gameplay switch cursor position from forget to remember for both in and out of battle it will save u lot of time especially in battle if u want to reuse an ability twice instead of always having to scroll down from the top -in menu options again if u go to camera and controls set the combo targeting from fixed to free it makes a HUGE difference in your battles as you won't have to wait for your attack combos to end to be able to switch to another enemy you will be able to target another approaching one right away even if u didnt finished comboing the first. - u can survive dying from self destruct enemy skills if u pair subversion materia to a maxed out warding materia on your armor. If you want to make thing even more broken pair your enemy skills to hp absorbs and you actually can get HEALED from self destruct instead of dying!!!

I agree that learning the combat system is imperative (focus attacks: pressure-> stagger). They should’ve had some extensive combat simulation because it’s absolutely necessary to know about for hard mode. It’s also good to note that countering is good but doesn’t always leave an opening to mash the enemy- some enemies do multi-hit attacks and will annihilate Cloud if he tries to combo after a counter (hard mode will exploit cloud easily). Something that’s also good to know is that Tifa’s unbridled strength increases her basic combo as well as leading to her 3x ability combo. Having her at level 3 will allow her to build atb quickly and harass those annoying airborne enemies longer. Lastly, magic casting is great, but it’s most effective when used for staggering instead of spam-casting. It’ll be good to get in that habit if the player wants to try hard mode since items can’t be used at all (MP is scarce). Edit: Adjusting camera settings and lock-on can improve gameplay. I would suggest learning that early game so the player can get calibrated to it. I was used to having the camera auto-focus on my locked enemy and dealing with the terrible camera angles that when I adjusted it late-game, I found it too complicated.

For the reason you explained yourself, Id recommend linking the magnify materia with the barrier materia. I feel like if youre playing the game in the best way, healing characters one at a time is all you need. Of course theres times where this isnt the case, but its not as common as youd think, plus having the pray materia helps with this tremendously, especially when your healer has the healing carcanet equipped

It actually makes sense, prayer materia already has healing everyone covered so yeah you’re right

With cloud, when you finish a square combo, press triangle to switch stance and start attacking right away without having cloud repositioning. Especially effective when in punisher mode, since tge animation is quite long before you can attack again. Yoy should also talk about advanced combo with tifa, like dive kick after an uppercut while still in the air and stuff like that. It makes tifa gameplay style way better

I watched many content related to the game but this video won!! Thanks for the tips

That minimap button was a struggle for my first 5 hours. My "wish I knew" tip: You can hold down the run button (R2 or L3) to slide down ladders or climb them faster. I know it feels obvious, but I didn't even think to try it.
