I have to trek across an entire map and that’s just stress on my party and my Gil.
The game is trying to bleed you at this point. The distance between Elfheim and the Cave is supposed to deplete your items.

Luckily it gets easy after the Marsh Cave. The real challenge is not getting lost afterwards :story:

5's a little low. I'd recommend at least 10+ just in case things go catastrophically wrong.
Got it. Thanks man. All my niggas hate werewolves!!

I can deal with the getting lost, SMTIV’s Tokyo is a fucking giant messy maze. Love that game, doesn’t make it any less of a slog when finding certain quest areas.

But on top of that is that the story really seems to come off the rails about halfway through. It’s really focused and relatable and then it just goes balls out bonkers.
Yes but Balamb garden is really cool looking

Also looks like Epic Store has locked down PC exclusivity for FF7R and all it's future games.

It there an overhead map or it all third-person navigation?
There’s 2, technically hundreds of maps. But 3 actively used- 3D small area exploration, 2d over world, and a bottom map to keep track of all landmarks and monuments in Tokyo. The overworld, which is a giant recreation of all of Tokyo. It allows for 360 turning and navigation. A 2nd, which is a 2d giant version of the map on the lower screen. And when you enter an area, it’ll become 3d and there will be an even bigger area then what it looks like. It’s meant to make you get lost, but it’s still insane the ammount of stuff they crammed in there.

Is there a high encounter rate? It being Atlus I assume the answer's yes.
No, the encounters are all avoidable if you really want besides story stuff. They’re portrayed as pixelated 3D models in the 3d setting or little microchips in the over world map.

I’d recommend it. Easy top 10 Atlus RPGS and top 25 rpgs period for me.

Cool. Random mobs are the fastest way to make me reach for a walkthrough. If you roam around too much, you'll be over-levelled.
It’s pretty customizable in terms of your experience. You can choose how things play out, your own stats, what demons you recruit, etc. Most demons unless you fuse them naturally occur in one to three areas in the game and that will be it. You can have Apps, which is upgrades that can affect how combat goes.

For example, I invested a lot of app points into demon recruitment skills, so now anytime I encounter a demon I haven’t met, I can talk to the, bargain, and if the one’s besides it in the counter are lower level and I don’t have them yet, they’ll join. I play around with unique strategies like magic glass canons or physical monstrosities. It’s gotten so good I can get money, experience, and random quests from demons who are interested in some work.

Even the kind of melee weapon you use effects gameplay. If you have a mace, if you proactively attack a demon in the 3D world or just catch them off guard with a swing, it’ll cause more damage and you’re guaranteed to go first. Swords may have shorter range and are from the middle, they’re quicker to execute and can’t animation trap you.

Still funny to me that a basic remake of ff7 could have printed money and not been prohibitively expensive and been guaranteed to succeed but they did this. I'd say it shows artistic integrity but I almost collapse laughing as the words leave my mouth. Just look at how raped ff7 is already.
