Watching Weiss move around and do shit makes me SO excited to see how Vincent is gonna be when he eventually comes around

[@lamcb.9476]

Oh for sure. And all his limits. Can’t wait to control Chaos or a redesigned Death Gigas

[@GrahamChapman]

To heck with Weiss, the great job they did on Yuffie is enough to get me hyped for future titles. If anything, they need to update Cloud and Barret for the upcoming parts so that they become as enjoyable to play as Yuffie and Tifa.

[@Vipera217]

He might be the only character whose moveset changes based on the type he equips

[@Ahmed-og2jm]

@@GrahamChapman i feel like they already are 😂 but i guess there's always room for improvement

[@GrahamChapman]

@@Ahmed-og2jm I'd say so, yes. As an example of how to make Cloud a bit more enjoyable imo (provided Square do not decide to outright revamp him somwhow): if you make a perfect Punisher counter, (press triangle the moment an attack hits,) make it possible to chain some attacks together, kinda like the chain Issen attacks from Onimusha... Also hope that Yuffie's synch ability is going to get implemented in future episodes. Like, Yuffie+Cloud could do synched Art of War, Yuffie+Aerith could do synched Windstorm, etc.

[@ashenwolf3846]

Max fighting his worst enemy, being the main villain of a video game he hates. That being Weiss the Immaculate.

[@GrahamChapman]

I'm kinda wondering about the flashes we see at the start and end of the Weiss fight -- the Weiss we see in the flashes is shirtless, like he was in DoC. So is this implying that Weiss is getting "flash forwards", like what Cloud has experienced throughout Remake, or are we seeing "flash sideways"? Is it a future that _will_ happen, or is it merely a future that has already happened, or are we seeing events that we may be averting by defying destiny? Is time-travel tenses troublesome?

[@JacksonJinn]

"good to know" is the most chill reaction to having your body taken over.

[@PolarPhantom]

I think the implication is that this is actually Hojo gathering data for body jacking Weiss as a back up plan. Chadley is the one shown to be in charge and he's Hojo's assistant. I think Hojo uploaded a copy of his mind and had it merged with Weiss' data to see what the results would be. And he's happy. I don't know if they're actually gonna go through with it, or it's just an easter egg.

Best boss in the entire game. Very cool fight with new mechanics - he concentrates on the controlled character and gets staggered when you evade him. The only thing is he is very hard to figure out without a guide. It would take me hours to figure him out alone. He is waaay to different from other bosses and the game won't tell you about his new mechanics.

[@the-NightStar]

I think the reason they did that is because they knew hardcore fans would figure it out and tell everyone online.

[@ItsYuhBoyyyy]

[@ForeverknightGaming]

It makes me want to rage knowing that you did this in 2 hours! This took me like a week multiple hours a day before I could beat him. I also had to look up how to do it. It also made me mad that people were beating him in under a minute while it took me 12+ minutes to beat him.

Yeah but he's chat averages like 10k people throwing ideas at him even if he wants to do it blind he's still glancing at chat. I haven't played intergrade yet just the base game.

@@ShowtimeLaw Seriously, I had a really good magic barrage strat with Cloud and Aerith with Tifa as my control character going in that I’d perfected on the previous endgame simulator battles, took me a couple of tries to get used to dodging all his attacks, and then I beat him. There’s some wiggle room too, I didn’t have nearly enough atb going into his second form, which I’d planned to skip entirely through stagger abuse, but I still managed to clutch it out and get him down on my second serious try. I loved having to adapt my strategy on the fly, and I got hyped as hell when he went down.

[@Neco42]

Love your boss rage videos Max! The music is so epic in FF7 too. Weird how the Jenova music plays in this fight but it’s still badass haha

[@MelaniAlarcon]

also Ultima weapon from XIV ost

[@jenniferchough]

Noticed that, many times, when he finally had the window to hit him with Tifa, he immediately switched to a different character instead of staying on him with Tifa to push stagger. She is the best (with parry materia) to fill his stagger gauge quickly. It’s possible on other characters as well but her move set makes this boss much easier to beat comparatively due to her parry mechanics alone, let alone her stagger increase.

So many people believed that the depth of KH2FM's mechanics and superbosses were lightning in a bottle, but this game shows that Tokyo team can still pull it off whenever Square Enix allows them to. They really know how to make action-JRPGs like no other. With the full involvement of the FF directorial dream-team, the learning experience of FF13 behind them, and a rebuilt confidence after FF7R Part 1, we can expect even more amazing things from them going forward. As long as the project doesn't get mismanaged like FF15, at least.

It sucks that even if you time your punisher mode counters and counter stances you get punished for them anyway.

Well I guess with the Sephiroth fight you’re rewarded for learning and countering his moves appropriately; with Weiss he’s constantly on your ass.
