[Official] [PS5] Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. Feb 29th 2024. NO SPOILERS

[Fatboi1]

I’m sure I read some posters saying that, or at least it was just the optional stuff that could be considered filler, but there’s a fair bit of padding in the story too

I said the game's filler is mostly optional side stuff. Idk why it keeps getting misconstrued as saying there's zero filler.

For someone who has yet to finish the game, you sure do know a lot more about it compared to everyone else.

Up to wherever it is you’re at then fine if that’s you feel, but from somebody who is most of the way through, I’m saying this game has a similar percentage amount of padding in its main story as the remake had, which is to be expected since they have stretched this story out over 3 games

 

[NoMayo15]

A certain poster in here would tell you otherwise.

What's up with this passive aggressive shyt

I’m sure I read some posters saying that, or at least it was just the optional stuff that could be considered filler, but there’s a fair bit of padding in the story too

Yall just lying just to lie now. There's a massive difference between thinking the filler is no big deal or just optional and thinking that there is zero filler.

For someone who has yet to finish the game, you sure do know a lot more about it compared to everyone else.

First you passively aggressively said that "a certain poster" argued otherwise that there is"no filler in the game", I show otherwise in my posts here and now you're moving the goal posts to something else.

Besides you already answered earlier in the thread that the stuff we're talking about that's considered filler is not mandatory to finish the game then you moved the goal posts to something about needing to 100% the game to get your money worth. Like which is it man? That you don't know the difference between mandatory and optional? Amazing how I'm apparently not capable enough to form my own opinion of the game so far with 43 hours in on chapter 9.

Well yeah but there's people here that's trying to conflate padding e.g. Zack segments, and new story sequences that weren't in the original game with side quests, world map objectives, mini games etc as one thing e.g. filler and then argued as if all of that is one big main quest that the game forces you to play and takes up hours of time to do.

None one ever said it was one big main quest, but the fact of the matter is that there is is mandatory filler and mini games at certain points in the story preventing you from moving forward.

You would know this if you actually progressed through the story instead of trying to debate with people who are further along than you.

I didn’t lie about shyt, I said I thought I saw some posters saying that, maybe I misread

You said that there isn't and that you were talking about trophy hunting? So which is it? I guess after chapter 9 the main quests are going to switch to "play Cait Sith in intense queens blood matches!" to move the story along?

It’s skippable…. depending how far in the game you want to go. If you’re fine with just completing the base game and nothing else, then you’re definitely able to skip a lot of that content.

If you’re wanting to do some of the end game stuff or hard mode, then you’re definitely going to have to complete a lot of the filler stuff as you literally can’t complete the skill matrix without it.

I don’t even necessarily have a problem with the filler stuff, but it’s obvious that they didn’t beta test some of those mini games or even hard mode and literally repeated mini games opponents just to pad the story.

So is this post cap?

I see why posters in this forum complain about you

That comment isn’t cap because if you actually played through the game you would actually see what I’m talking about. A lot of the end game content is locked behind harder modes of the game compared to remake, so if you want to play hard mode then yes a lot of that content you say is option is going to necessary.

For example, you aren’t unlocking level 3 limit break unless you hit level 10 of skills, which will require you completing elements of hard mode. If you don’t care to do it, then hard mode isn’t necessary.

Another one is unlocking all 16 levels of transmutter and crafting every item in the game will require you playing some of hard mode. Again, if you don’t care to play hard mode then it’s not necessary at all.

You don’t need those things to beat the main point of the story. It’s a difference.

I literally couldn't care less that people who are obvious fanboys of a platform are mad I call them out on their dumb shyt. Acting like Meach, Pressure, Daze and Titan are somehow objective posters is hilarious.

but we're not talking about end game content, we're talking about the main story.

For example, you aren’t unlocking level 3 limit break unless you hit level 10 of skills, which will require you completing elements of hard mode. If you don’t care to do it, then hard mode isn’t necessary.

From IGN:

Increasing Party Level is essential to unlocking every Limit Break. You get Party XP for many crucial points in the story, including boss battles. But you also get it for all forms of World Intel you complete for Chadley and even more for side quests. In short, do all of the content the game throws at you, and you'll gradually increase your Party Level enough to unlock the privilege of unlocking Level 3 Limit Breaks.

So basically you're annoyed that to get level 3 limit breaks, you may have to do some side quests and Chadley stuff? We're at the point now that we're complaining about doing side quests to get optional stuff in the game, the same way it was in the original game? You do know that to unlock those limit breaks you had to do side stuff in the OG right?

Did you have issues with doing all this in the OG?

Note: Known as Aerith in the Japanese version of the game. To make it easier to get Aeris' 2nd and 3rd level limit breaks just do the following. After you escape from the Church give Aeris some Materia (Fire, Ice, and Restore Materia work well) and get into some random battles. Fight only with Aeris using her magic (this should instantly kill most enemies) and use Cloud for healing. Do this until you have her 2nd level limit break. If you don't have the Seal Evil limit break by the time this is done, you can do it now if you want. It should only take a little more than a half an hour. Repeat this process to get her 3rd level limit break. This'll make it easier when you want to get her last limit break.

To get the Level 4 manual, you need to talk to the sleeping man in a cave near Junon (North East). He'll tell how many battles you've been in. When the two last digits of the battle count are the same and odd (i.e. 11, 33, 55, etc.), he'll give you a piece of Mythril. This can then be traded for the Great Gospel manual at the blacksmith on the Peninsula east of Gongaga after the events of Rocket Town. The blacksmith will give you two boxes to choose from, the "big one" and the "small one." Choose the small one. The small box is located up the stairs in a grey safe. (You can get more than one Mythril from the sleeping man, and open both chests.)

You can do this any time after getting out of the Corel Desert prison and before going to the Temple of the Ancients. Take the buggy given from Dio, go to Costa de Sol, and take the boat back to Junon. It will allow you to cross the river to get to the cave. Note: It will cost you a minimum of 110gil. You must drive the buggy into Costa de Sol then run to the boat you arrived on and bribe the sailor standing there 100gil to get to Junon with the buggy. To return to Costa de Sol with your buggy you must drive the buggy into Junon. Once inside it will cost you again to get back to the boat but this time it's only 10gil for an elevator ride. Bribe the guard at the elevator to take you back up and there you go.

Another one is unlocking all 16 levels of transmutter and crafting every item in the game will require you playing some of hard mode. Again, if you don’t care to play hard mode then it’s not necessary at all.

You don’t need those things to beat the main point of the story. It’s a difference.

So basically it's OPTIONAL. That's what I'm saying. You're literally saying what I said here. I don't think anyone is worried about item transmutation to beat the game.

Bringing up valid points about the game and its content isn’t complaining. It’s constructive criticism. You’re one of those gamers that think any negative about the game is criticism.

I couldn’t care less about the level 3 limit break. I was just bringing up about the content it’s locked behind.

My main gripe about the game is it’s obvious in a lot of the content that it wasn’t beta tested and is going to be need of tweaked and nerfed at a certain point.

Hard mode is not the same hard mode from the Remake and a lot of people would tell you that.

A lot of the content needs to be tweaked? To be easier? You're just fishing for things to complain about at this point.

Again whose complaining? You obviously haven't played through the game to know what needs to be patched and what doesn't. I'm saying no different than what people on the Remake Reddit are talking about.

You're bringing up my supposed complaining, yet you're the one that's obviously emotional and triggered over what I'm saying.

Ummm.... You are?

I didn't even mention you in this thread but you did passive aggressively. This is the problem with internet discussion. Nobody wants to be wrong. You were wrong now you're trying to flip it on me by trying to shift this to me and attack me.
