![]() Assess has unclear benefits (and limitations).Īs my soon-to-be-former (sad trombone) colleague Jason Schreier mentioned in his must-read tips for the game, you don’t have to recast Assess every time you want to see an enemy’s health bar. If you’re struck by a physical attack, you’ll parry. Best of all, pulling one off doesn’t require any Nioh-like precision timing. Doing it successfully will fill up Cloud’s ATB, fill up an enemy’s stagger gauge, and do some serious damage. For those who may not realise, Cloud’s parry move is part of his “Punisher” mode (that’s the one where you’re way slower but way stronger). Parrying is an essential part of Final Fantasy VII Remake‘s battle system, particularly in the one-on-one matches that pop up throughout the story. Unless you keep your controller well-charged, or perhaps even plugged in. (We’ve reached out to Square Enix for clarification.) So the unlucky and unprepared among us will have to suffer the indignity of watching a standstill Cloud get pummelled by that renaissance faire bartender in the final part of Chapter 4. In other words, it’s a near certainty that your controller will sputter out in the middle of a boss fight that, by all accounts, is a cakewalk, but now it will have been rendered genuinely challenging.Īlas, there’s been no official word from Square Enix yet on whether this will be changed. This mortal plane we occupy is governed by a truly depraved sense of humour. Or maybe it’ll just happen when you’re reslotting materia or levelling up Cloud’s buster sword. If you start up Final Fantasy VII with a well-charged controller, you’ll never have to find this out. Or, you could just read on: The game won’t pause if your controller dies. Whatever the case, you have to learn some tricks the hard way. Or maybe this stuff was buried in a guide that you breezed through too quickly (guilty as charged). Maybe it’s a straight-up omission on the part of the game. But there are plenty of other little things the game isn’t upfront about. Kotaku‘s Jason Schreier also went over a lot of the basics in his Final Fantasy VII Remake tips post. Tutorials aplenty outline the intricacies of spells, materia, and party management. It does a good job at explaining its various systems. Whether you’re a huge fan of the 1997 original or don’t even know what a Sephiroth is, one thing’s for sure: This game is very, very good.įor the most part, Final Fantasy VII Remake is fairly straightforward. Final Fantasy VII Remake, Square Enix’s much-anticipated role-playing game about herding cats and having amazing hair, has taken the video game world by storm.
