  • And so the cryfest begins... this is part one of three episodes that just makes my heart ache. Between the love story in this chapter and the betrayal! Ahhhh, I don't know what to even expect anymore. I will be completing anything I missed after we finish the main story!

    One of my favorite scenes. The play scene was barely there in the Og, but FF has had some amazing play scenes in other games, so it felt not only a tribute to FF7, but to others FF too.
    Nomura (who is the creative director to Rebirth and Remake) loved Les Miserables, so he always wanted to have a big musical theatre piece, and boy oh boy what a scene they made.

      Also No Promises to Keep play is inspired by a Hugh Jackman film, Greatest Showman. They even got Loren Allred to be Aerith’s singing voice. It also parallels to Cloud, Tifa and Aerith too.

    One thing you've been missing is reading the different effects for linking materia on weapons vs. armor.
    You have a leveled up elemental materia and if you linked it to fire materia on Aerith's armor then you would have been immune to fire damage which would have trivialized that dual bomb fight.

    The deal with Aerith is you have to spend a couple of turns preparing her with wards, but then she will deal major damage. Her synergy skill "Spellbound Blast" deals serious damage, and also builds the atb gauge very quickly. Use that to cast a Radiant ward to boost the damage of her normal attacks, and cast an Arcane Ward. If you cast a level three spell inside it, it does insane damage. It takes two atb bars, so use Spellbound blast to get them quickly :)

    • @dearthofdoohickeys4703
      @dearthofdoohickeys4703 Před měsícem +5

      Yeah she needs some prep to really be able to cut loose. I like giving her a first strike materia and an atb boost materia so she can put down wards immediately. Her combat saviour is extremely helpful too, it helps prevent her from getting overwhelmed and stun-locked. Her ward shift is another great tool, you can run away from your wards to bait attacks and pull aggro, and then warp back to safety.

    The episode I've been waiting for.

    Aerith has a lot of tools, and it can be hard to remember what everything does. So I’ll just give one tip: Radiant Ward! It’s Aerith’s best friend!
    Radiant Ward helps her in so many ways: inside the ward her basics attacks come out faster, which significantly helps her build ATB. She gets an improved dodge inside the ward, which makes darting around attacks easier. And finally when she’s inside the ward her spells are harder to interrupt!

    The reason people find Aerith more frustrating to play is that her combat style is more tactically minded. You can't just spam buttons like the other players. Using her wards to warp around the fighting area really helps. You really have to know which ability works best in what scenario much more than the other team members. Also they made her combat work better when using synergy/skills/abilities with your teammates as oppose to single combat compared to the other characters.

      ⚠️ SPOILERS BELOW ⚠️
      “Take my hand” is a nice little foreshadowing. In the OG after beating the last boss, Cloud grabs “Aerith’s” hand to climb out of the crater. He does it again in Advent Children when he defeats Bahamut.

    The chocoking cape, atb boost or things that let Aerith get that first couple of wards or attacks are fantastic because you pretty much can cheat Aerith weakness (at least for me) which is the time you need to set her up.

    YESS im so glad you got Tifa's date, I was worried you wouldn't since hers is easier to miss than others!! Especially since you missed the first date in Chapter 8. Good you did her sidequest right before! Tifa's is the most intimate and its so gosh darn good, you screamed in joy seeing the kiss like most of us! Also, the game determines who you go on the date with in your first playthrough, depending on your relationship levels. After that you can choose manually. The other dates also are good in their own ways, but Tifa’s is my favorite because the couple finally got a kiss after 27 years and also the fact Cloud made the first moves!! Proud of my boy. Loving your play through and your reactions!!

      2) Cloud didn't really agree to her proposal, and needed this date, both in the remake and in the original. So it's perfectly fine, the date with Tifa, who has always been the canonical love interest, doesn't contradict the story in any way, and Cloud and Tifa also agreed to go on a date in the Remake.

It takes him a while to remember what that payment is, and then he remembers about the price. So he definitely doesn't need it, and yes it's shown at the beginning of Rebirth when he's clearly unhappy at Aerith's mention that they were on a “date”. So yes, it was the promised date in Evergreen Park, and Cloud isn't really interested in Aerith in general, he clearly prefers Tifa as the story progresses. This is evident in Costa Del Sol, when choosing swimsuits, in lower Juinon where they're in Tifa's room talking, and in Gongaga where he tries to kiss her but is interrupted. And yes, Ultimania is clearly saying that he doesn't understand the value of her offer. There's only one thing to say, he's just confused, and Reno's boldness makes him take this job. Well, in general, Cloud is only surface-level asshole, and will help a damsel in distress, even without a big payment, if it happens in front of him.

Having never played the original(if any😂) I don’t know why Cait Sith did that, but I’m with you, it can’t be that cut and dry as a betrayal of the group from him. Very much enjoyed the video, tuned into a little of your previously recorded stream you had on twitch(which I haven’t got) and saw the part where Ginger was actually in the one spot for change😂, so cute.

    Aerith is OP if you play her the way she's supposed to be played. She's about strategy and timing instead of button mashing. It's a mindset shift of play smarter, not harder.
    Put down a Radiant Ward 1st, use ward shift by pressing triangle to warp away from danger, throw down some Lustrous Shields to block projectiles like those fireballs, and throw down an Arcane Ward when all your defense is in place.
    When you are standing in the Radiant Ward you're immune to damage while casting magic fyi. Combine all of that with a maxed out Precision Defense Focus materia on Aerith and she's unbelievably OP.

    This was one of the best reactions to... well all of this episode!
    The beast arena was definitely a tough segment with Aerith. Seemed rather unfair match-up for her. Understandable frustration! I'm sure you've already seen some of the comments about it, but elemental materia 2-star linked with Fire (or any element) will immune the damage. But you did it without it, so more power to you!
    We need more Zack!
    Date time! The play was something special for sure, the part that I feel is the biggest tug on the heart strings is the Jessie/Biggs/Wedge bit at the very end. Gets me every time. T_T Everything about the play was so well done, the Aerith song too. All of it~
    I do have a bias for Tifa since playing the OG, but I do love all of the characters in the Remake/Rebirth project thus far. You can get a date with all the party members! Tifa's will be a personal favorite. However, all the dates are definitely worth a watch! Maybe make a reaction video to the other dates in the future? :) And make sure it is the Max Affinity/Intimacy dates! They are the best!
    Every thing you said about the relationships in this game I wholeheartedly agree. The small sprinkles of romance are in there, but it is not the driving force of the narrative. Just the mutual respect and understanding (misunderstandings too? Haha) of how each character is with themselves and each other is just so darn good. The development and growth is just so lovely between everyone.
    The coliseum was so much fun to watch! Those darn DONberries! You handled it all very well. I see a lot of people struggle on Rufus for sure, he's definitely not the easiest.
    I could go on and on here, but can't wait to see your next video! Hopefully you can catch up to Cait Sith! Good luck and keep up the wonderful playthrough!
