Final Fantasy VII Remake - 15 Essential Tips For Beginners

[@adamdyson3977]

[@evi6199]

My tip is: Turn the Damn music up!

[@menzoznem]

I actually turned the music down as voices are hard to hear sometimes.

[@kjennings83]

Aaron best music on a game ever!

[@mikkdc]

I hated it when you assessed an enemy and all you get is... TACTICAL DATA UNAVAILABLE

[@NovaSniper12]

Does that mean it didn’t work? I noticed that by halfway through the game and don’t understand what it means.

[@jaddywesley225]

Sonic is the best it worked, some enemies they just don’t want to give away the way to beat them so easily. Like the last boss for example

[@RoninXDarknight]

I came close to throwing my controller at the screen during that boss we're not talking about -.- That aside, the last tip is the most important and one it took me until almost the end of the game (haven't finished because my copy arrived late) to realize. For harder fights, switch characters constantly; don't spend more than a couple of seconds on any one character...just long enough to fire off an ability or a few attacks. The reasons for this are that your characters don't build their ATB gauge as fast when you're not controlling them (there's a certain purple materia that will help boost this though so once you find it, equip it to everyone) and the enemy AI is heavily skewed towards targeting the character you're controlling so switching can "confuse" them a bit and allow you to avoid a lot of damage. Something else it has taken me a lot of time to realize is that it's much harder to brute force your way through this game since it's much more difficult to grind levels than in the original. As mentioned, the tactics are extremely important to end fights quickly and with your party in one piece. I highly recommend for boss fights saving right before them (should be doing this anyway), assess the boss to determine the proper strategy and then re-loading to equip yourself properly for it (or you know...just look up the strategy).

[@Mik_S]

Make a save before going into the vents in the Shinra building. It can glitch while looking out though the 2 vents forcing a reload. I lost progress in the combat simulator when it happened to me as the last autosave was just after the first battle.

[@PhantomMonkey2008]

Equip revive and steal materia the moment you get them. Noticed during a boss fight that the item able to be stolen was a character weapon and after beating the game am still missing about 6 of them. The revival materia will upgrade to be a lot more useful especially for hard mode but will take the entire game if not longer to level it up. Also don't follow Rob's example and link and element to your weapon during chapter 9 it will make it last longer.

[@mentalpopcorn2304]

I tend to try and link the element I know most enemies will be weak to depending on the environment

[@evacody1249]

Tip no one will tell you set it to easy and grind to near max level. That's how a FF game should be played.

[@-sollarz]

Okay so for anyone on Hard mode that is having trouble getting their MP back (because items are essentially thrown out the window, and benches only heal you.) Try using mythril saber, it has 1 upgrade that gives you 50% MP Regeneration during battle. I was stuck on a boss that by the time i got to it i had like 6 MP of the possible 180 i could of had. By the time staggered the boss i was about 60 MP up.

[@mentalpopcorn2304]

Battle tip: Switching to punisher mode causes you to counter if you get hit during it. Blocking during punisher mode also counters attacks

[@HanabiraKage]

Only with melee attacks, and not the unblockable ones either. Anything else is not countered and also not blocked so Cloud takes full damage.

[@erikwhittla7224]

Okay, I just finished the game now, and so there is a giant spoiler tag with what I'm about to say SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS I think that should leave enough room to hide us talking about the ending of the game and theorize what is to come next. I'd like to start a chain talking about the game for those who have completed it! That ending, magnificent, beautiful, visually incredible. Seeing Zack survive as they walked away? Definitely unexpected, but it was so fun to see that scene from Crisis Core were he brings the buster blade to his face and says "Protect Your Honour... AS A SOLDIER" Chills. literal chills. I love it when remakes of video games either reuse sequences from the original version of the game, or when they remake an old sequence with newer, updated graphics, which they did here. Okay, so with how that game ended, I have a theory, that FF7R P2 will actually be a remake of Crisis Core, explaining Zack's story, and how he got to where he was at the end of this game. or, maybe that game might come after cloud falls into the lifestream and gets his memory straight

[@AnotherDamnHiddenGem]

Use Clouds Punisher Mode for a Berserk Boost and let loose with an ability like Braver for more damage.

[@marhawkman303]

I sometimes just sell the low tier healing items. I tend to grind to where I don't need to use them often, thus they're not really needed. Then when you NEED to heal they're too weak to be helpful.

Jose I never needed items throughout the entire game. Between healing with magic outside of combat and resting on benches that are everywhere, there’s no need. Can’t use items in hard mode anyway.

Just got the platinum today. Such a great game. A good tip for hard mode is switch between character after every command or two. This will cause the enemies to change their target, giving you valuable time to pull of a move or a spell.

[@Aeneiden]

How difficult is it if people already have platinum?

[@hamcgarry]

@@Aeneiden Extremely, it took me 81 hours for the platinum. Hard mode is very hard. It lives up to the name. Very tactical, hard to master.

[@RayA81]

[@justinthibodeaux8601]

So you have to take advantage of crappy enemy ai noted

[@bnice1374]

I am stuck on the damn pull up trophy...

[@ZanZerejin]

From what I have learned by playing the game, having the basic elements on each character (fire/ice/lightning) is a huge help since most of the enemies are weak to one of these. If each character can deal damage based on the enemy weakness the battles will go much smoother. Having aero materia equipped on melee fighters is also helpful to deal with a lot of the flying enemies as they tend to be weak to wind. Healing on each one is a must since anyone needs to be able to heal if you mess up or take too much damage. For leveling up the revive materia, have it connected to the AP up materia to double the amount of AP. It is transformed from a purple materia that needs you to take a certain amount of steps with it equipped.

[@MrNord2002]

Rob, Jesse IS best girl! Great tips. To anyone questioning if they should get it or not, get off the fence! Play this game! If you are judging this game based on the voice acting, I assure you, it is NOT cheesy!

Deadly Dodge is essential when you’re in a section alone as Cloud or anyone in the colosseum. The area of effect helps you control the flow of battle versus multiple small opponents. Just dodge into groups of enemies and scatter them to single them out.

[@DabbaHashery]

For beginners, then starts the video with semi spoilers.. Not cool.. These beginner videos really should try to stay in the demo area when possible.

[@saterdei]

Here's a tip for you all: while this game plays into the action RPG genre, most of your damage comes from commands and your characters can not only dodge, but also... *drumroll* block! Obviously not every hit, like that one boss we're not talking about, but blocking cuts the damage you take (duh) while ALSO boosting your ATB, so that little bit of chip damage can become an extra heal or stagger hit, compared to just dodging out of the way and counting precious seconds until the ATB is full again. Keep in mind that blocking without being hit slows down your ATB charge, so you have to block only when actually necessary. Maybe all this sounds complicated, maybe it seems to go without saying, but in any case, it's an important gameplay mechanic that you shouldn't do without. Also elemental exploitation always pressures enemies, use it and abuse it whenever things get tough.

[@princessthyemis]

i like the fact that you can change characters while you're fighting, and the others will still act. That's really cool!

Another huge tip which I didnt figure out until a fair way into the game - USE PUNISHER MODE and hold guard vs melee enemies. As soon as they attempt to hit you, Cloud counters, allowing you to follow up with some serious damage.

[@ViewtifulVideos]

He also counters during that brief moment when you switch into punisher too. That effect around him when you switch means you can pull off a quick parry in a pinch or to keep momentum without having to sit and wait around.

16 elemental works better as a defensive materia many bosses only use one element so if you are having trouble swapping out the correct elements can often trivialise a difficult boss (shiva is a prime example of this but the majority of them are similar when not physically attacking.)

Press the touchpad in combat to open up the enemy intel window. This is useful if you need a refresher on what to do against a particular enemy, or if you got overly excited and accidentally closed the window right after using Assess.

You can use the Corneo colosseum to make money. After you beat a match the first time every subsequent play through of said match will award you with Gil.

Late to the party but this was my first ever PlayStation game after beginning my gaming career on the N64. Just grabbed this now via ps plus, and wow what an incredible game it is. Thanks for the tips Rob, as always sensational stuff from PS Access

Always heal before hitting shinra crates especially if playing on hard mode since it’s the only way you can get MP

Never played final fantasy before but recently playing kingdom hearts made me wanna learn more about it!

Honestly, I wish they would remake the entire franchise. There are so many snes franchises that I would love to be remade and would absolutely zero qualms with shelling out the bucks to play updated versions of my favourite games of my childhood.
