That R1 tip about Materia management is a revelation 😂
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
@@GamerGuruOfficial For sure! Thanks for dropping the knowledge
The only thing that is arguably not a good tips is #1. Dont use magnify on heal, we have prayer for that. Use magnify on barrier, and occasionally on Fire for quick clear swarm of enemies.
@@kimjiro4591 mahony and barrier is useless. Try to use it when you fight the simulator 3 Team vs Top secrets. I get my ass handed in the fight with bahmut and ifrit so it's better with magnify+Heal on Aerith. I already got plat.
@@julioescobar-francisco3330 pft, you need barrier to tank Megaflare. Also like, anyone doesn't have plat yet? Top secret was easy af. The solo simulations for each character are actually more fun.
@@kimjiro4591 yeah but you dont need magnify with barrier I pass it with Mag*+Heal*. Even in hard mode it's pointless for Barrier. Rather equip with heal or Haste.
I’m on chapter 11 thanks for helping me get my mini map back haven’t seen it since chapter 4 😂
I feel that on a spiritual level. I hadn't seen mine in a week 🤣
🤣
I lost mine for a minute and just masged a shitload of buttons.. lost my elemental materia but got my map back :)
The same thing happened to me for a while too lol - it was only by accident I managed to make it appear again 😂
😂😂😂😂
"The most useless tip is the minimap." Dude. That was literally my ONLY gripe about the game. Looking at the map 20x in a town was annoying. Thanks.
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
OMG 3:45 ... I have rescanned to see weaknesses so many times. I wish I knew this before
I have done this as well. Lol wasting atb when didn't have to.
Helpful tip: a lot of enemies in the game are susceptible to stop, even bosses. You can also lock an enemy into a pressured state using stop, Time is an underrated Materia for sure!
Stagger Stop for me and build Stagger with Tifa with True Strike
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.
Yeah. It's way better to save Magnify for Barrier. First strike+Magnify Manawall makes Hard Mode almost easy with Pray as party Heal.
I had to use prayer for nearly my entire squad to beat the final lvl 7 challenge in the combat simulator. If you don’t level up prayer, the MP will get drained quick and you will have no other way to heal party.
I ignored Prayer for the entirety of my first playthrough. Now in hard-mode, it's my MVP. High-tier group healing or 0 MP? Yes please.
Excellent for hard mode
The Chakra materia also clears the poison effect for free while giving you a heal if I remember what it does correctly. Prayer and chakra were my kings of healing in hard mode, for sure. Also, poison really helps against a boss if they aren't immune to it (I'm looking at you, Hell House)
This is unironically one of my all time favorite tip videos. There's so many tip vids out there for all sorts of games, but rarely do they hit a certain kind of quality in terms of what sort of things the creator considers to be uncommon knowledge or worth sharing and so on. To temper the absurd praise of the first sentence, of course this isn't exactly mindblowing revolutionary information, but it just goes to show what a solidly made video from a guy really interested in helping people out and not just cheap content for clicks with pseudotips can do for someone's appreciation of you lol.
Thanks for this comment! it was the first thing I read when I woke up this morning and I have to say it is a great way to start off the day 😂👍🏻
FYI, the Cloud’s triple slash will cancel all spells while the enemy is casting it
I don't comment much on videos but of all the videos I have watched and scanned through this is by far the most useful from beginning to end. Thank you so much for this. 👏
I agree 100% a tip video with actual tips!
I didn’t know there was a mini map in the first place. I’m on the Wall Market now and got lost all the time and had to open the map regularly. It’s the best tip for me.
Pretty sure this is a paid advertisement for counter stance
Dead
lol
Been a veteran of the series for over 25 years, but found this really helpful! Been having “trouble” with adapting to this whole new combat system (same with FFXV) so I’ll take every tip I can get, cheers!
Shit man, me too, the first boss took me 2 days to beat. I dont know how to fight, I'm weak sauce
OMG I read vegetarian instead of veteran. It took me a while for your sentence to make sense to me lol. I might need help.
Yea it's rough this game don't play
ff15 battle engine is garbage
I wish I had known earlier on that Tifa is way more fun to play than Cloud.
Right? Isn't it awesome to just sock some shit up?
I don't like tifa but her fighting is so fun. You gotta put parry on and slide in and you can reset her combo and go insane with her attacks it's like playing Tekken sometimes lol. Really awesome.
are you looking foward to part 2 wene it comes out. i know i am/the good thing about this lockin is im half way threw the first game with 100 hours plus
When tifa has better combos than smash bros cloud
I found out really quick I suck with her. Which is a shame since I do like her so much. :(
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.
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.
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.
This is one of the more helpful FF VII tips videos. Didn't know about the L1 potion trick, thanks!
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!
Been playing both the OG and the Remake this week, and I have to say playing them both back to back I love how in-depth they went on the Midgar section. At first I was upset that it was not the full game, but once you realize they are really spacing this game out and going all the way in on character development I know this trilogy is going to be a masterpiece if they stick the landing on the next two entries.
@@davidwhite206 Yes they did a great job with the remake, looking forward to more🔥
You have no idea how long I played with a disabled minimap until I figured out how to turn it back on (read: by accident)
Lol I just found out now from this video
I kept turning it off by accident, lol.
THIS. And I looked online for fricken hours trying to figure it out only learn how to do it by accident!
I disabled it in the beginning to but I went crazy trying all button combinations to get it back.
Same. Stupid UX, it should be in the settings as well.
I actually thought the mini map was only on at certain points. 😂
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!!!
Thanks for sharing!
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.
U sir deserve a ultima sword or at least the materia. THANK YOU!!!
I've seen a lot of these videos but yours was the best in giving the most unique and just helpful pointers.
Great video!
Thanks for that tip about seeing everyone's materia all at once!
Holy crap did not know the menu could be accessed before boss fights
I always wondered what that transparent square icon with "menu" on it was in the bottom left corner meant, but was always too worried about canceling out the cutscene by playing around with buttons
@@RBelmont007 honestly never noticed it until this video lol
@@Zaxamaphone definitely gonna be handy when going through hard mode, I think. Just recently got the game, and finished the normal playthrough last night so very handy tip
i've played this game so damn much since launch when i close my eyes before sleeping i see ff7 battles =/
and battle theme always playing in background...
Fu guys I had Sephiroph wake me up at 2am
You can call this a side note on a side note on a side node to 1:56.
Before you start healing with items, equip the Item Master Materia first to increase the effectiveness of your items with a significant degree.
Just post I totally didnt think of that
Although the effect is only for in combat it does not effect using potions outside of combat. Just a Side not for that side note ;)
Well, that thing is completely useless in hard mode, since we can't use any of the item
Damn I didn't know how clutch the elemental material would've come in. Could've clapped Shiva so hard.
Very nicely put together video, straight to the point, well appreciated!
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
OMG thank you for the tip to get the Assess info on enemies that have already been Assess’d! It was driving me insane trying to remember what every mob was weak too!
Holy ***" thank you for all these tips!!!
Finished my first playthrough recently, and didn't realize most of this stuff, especially with the menu system and with the different level of spell and how to activate magnify, or the l1 button when using items.
Going to be using these tips for the hard mode playthrough.
had no idea about holding Square button before boss and would restart from last battle instead...thanks for this!
Thank you! There were a few stuff I didn't know. This helps a lot! 💜
wow this was actually incredibly helpful thank you!
Counter stance was the MVP during the final few fights of the game. I had never used it before then but quickly fell in love with it after it proved to be incredibly useful
I've never used it (or seen it) -- And I just finished the game a few days ago. Now I have to play through again and use this!
Decimate bosses with counter stance in hard mode
ON chapter 14 and I learnt so much from this vid! CHeers. Been playing it on a few hours a week so haven't had time to fully immerse and learn everything so I appreciate this !
Great tips.
That mini map one is easily overlooked--THANKS
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.
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
Im still on my 1st playthrough though so thats the mindset Im in! And obviously Im still learning, I meant this as a point of conversation/question, I just didnt get that across lol
It actually makes sense, prayer materia already has healing everyone covered so yeah you’re right
Oh I wish I'd seen this before last night! That Roche fight had me in a rage! He kept wiping his ass with me until I figured out that Ascension was the move I needed all along lol, and the punisher counter attack saved my ass so many times
I watched many content related to the game but this video won!! Thanks for the tips
Note that Barret's reload can actually be done after ANY attack. Even Magic
I just started this game last week and this is by far the best tips video for me. Great job new fan
I accidentally disable the mini map and didnt know hot to enable it until i asked my friend
Or you can just google it.
I didnt even know there was one...
Personally, I found the mini-map to be a blessing in Wall Market, so many little nook and crannies that can be missed if you don't pay attention
@@damueswivel yeah i played coupole of chapters withouth mini map just spamming the big map ecery second xD
Press L2
This is a brilliant video! I had no idea about these materia upgrades getting such effects! Thanks!
EVERY helpful hint was VERY useful. Thanks.
You're awesome. Great advice with visuals and nothing spoiled. Thanks
This is gold! They should hire you for future game tutorials/explainer videos!!!
Tip 2 really helpful, I always re-assess.
I def. leveled up my Barrier material as soon as I could because it is so helpful against stronger enemies. Def. helpful against Airbuster (just finished him).
10x for the Elemental Materia tip bro. Was a bit past that chapter, missed it, reloaded a previous save and this time picked it up. Cheers! 🍻
Bro. These tips are phenomenal! Great great job
This was extremely helpful thank you
This is extremely helpful! Thanks 💛
Man this is so great I’m on chapter 7 and this really enlightened me to things I didn’t notice
wow, very nice video. thanks so much for the tips.
I played the first 14 hours without knowing there was a minimap. I used the compass and opened up the map menu every 15 to 20 seconds to make sure I was going where I wanted to...
Edit: btw thank you for the tips!
Very helpful. Thanks a lot
Barret has a virtual First Strike ability if you know what you're doing. At the beginning of any fight with Barret, immediately use his Overcharge ability to rapidly fill up your ATB. Then you can immediately buff or use a special ability or spell to deal even more damage. If you pick the right abilities to lay the hurt on a foe, this will often put it very near death, if not outright kill it. Otherwise, it can help turn the tide of a fight early on with the right buff or debuff applied.
Free First Strike with Barret 👍
One thing I’ve found out having played the game thru and finding almost all the Materia is that on second play thru on Senario Chapters that you don’t always find the exact Materia you found the first time around in the sane spots. Many the time for me if you collected it the first time thru it’s seen to been replaced with Health, Poisons or other random Materia types. So beware.
Much needed help. Thanks my man
Omg thank you especially for Materia like the link up I didn't get it when I red it I didn't understand stand and that they were so good this helped me lot thank youuuuuu
Lol i got my platinum, never used barrier or magnify (i did use magnify x cure for the ultimate weapon trophy tho). First strike materia is one of my favs, starting battle with ATB bar filled makes most combat so much faster.
Very useful tips, thank you
Man. Thank you so much. Much needed info!
This reminds me a lot of the combat system from xenoblade, except a lot more in depth, due to the complex battle system, which was already set up in XV, which is nice!
Greatly welcome knowledge. Thankyou.
I was figuring out by myself but your tips helped a lot!!! Thank you
Bro this video is awesome thanks for the extra tips too
Thanx! Really helpful! Subbed!
Thank god for the ability to hold L1 and not get kicked out the menu when healing. Drives me nuts how it exits the menu for every item use. Thanks for tip!
that L1 potion, R1 in the materia screen and menu before boss fight so useful to know! esp R1 materia, kept existing out of each character to swap out materia. xD
Great tips thanks for sharing.
Wish they had added effect in the remake. Loved to use lucky 7s and a range of linked status effects (transform, mystify, time, and contain) on Clouds in the original ff7.
That barret tip is sick. thanks.
This is great, thank you
God damn. Thanks! That was a lot of useful tricks I needed. 👍
Thank you. That potion use shortcut is a savior
Yeah secretly hidden although I rarely relied on items... Good practise to play for hard mode anyway
About Magnify materia, i prefer Resist materia cos its gives u timed ribbon for whole party wich is pretty useful against proper enemy's (i.e. Malboro)
Thanks a heep dude. The elemental materia on armor is a really good tip. Im on hard mode right and i can use all the tips i can get.
Everything was helpful. Had no idea on so much of this
Awesome tips! Thanks a lot.
Great video i learned a cupple of things i didnt know! Nice content 👌 won my subscription
great info thanks!
Quick tip about extending after entering berserk - if you tap triangle and then Mash square (to finish the combo) after the charge attack in Punisher, you can transition back to Operator seamlessly and get its combo ender.
I use Disorder to switch between Operator and Punisher, also generates ATB
Awesome tips bro, congrats on your Platinum trophy and thanks for sharing😎
I didn't know about the square button, holding it down, during a cut scene before a boss fight you can bring up your menu!!! God, how I wished I knew that before!! So many times I had the wrong materia on during those fights and had to start over again, or quit in the middle, or died because I was not prepared.
Not all boss has this though
The analytic pad tip blew my mind🎉
You actually only have to finish the Chapter 14 quests to receive the Elemental Materia. Also the Collapsed Subway is a great way to farm for gil and get experience.
actually load up chapter 9 and play till Colosseum and just do the battle on classic you can even go do your own stuff you need to.
Omg!! I never even noticed the f'n mini map... Thank you!!!!
... And you can set it to be Static (where it doesn't turn around with you) or not static (where it does turn). Very handy.
Damn dude thanks for the map tip, I was wondering why I don’t have my mini map anymore lol
Very helpful, thank you my friend.
Great Video. For the greatest game ever. I cant wait until the put out the next to parts. Cause I know there going to make the Captin CID a real Boss!
This was helpful... oh and ur last tip is funny to me because when I started playing about 3 days in I didn't have or kno about the mini map. Until a convo with my bro LMAO
Thanks for the tips bro!
Great video 😁👍🏽
you are so helpful! tnx
Very helpful, man. Thanks 😊 👌
That mini map tip was probably the best tip of them all.
Borrowed my ps4 and FF7R to a buddy, a day later he says "what happened to my minimap?" Serisouly, great tip!
