[FF7: Ever Crisis] - Ultimate Beginners guide for new players! SEA and steam players

[@shadowguy542]

Awesome guide! Wish I looked up guides back when I started. This would have been amazing to have. Glad the newer players for steam will be able to see this.

[@PayneBlade]

Thanks Shadow! Yea and now that we know the games ins and outs it will help us put better guides together too!

[@jayw3688]

Still watched it even when I am a day 1 player. Very good presentation as an introductory to the game. I think there is going to be an insane flux of new players with the steam edition so veterans need to have a bit of patience and willingness to help the new people both on the discord and on reddit. We want more people playing, not scaring them away.

[@UStoleMyNickUBstard]

Not sure if Payne said anything about the CO-ops, but if you come to higher level CO-ops bring right equipment, right sigil breaks and your own heals. Nobody want to carry a totally worthless character. Harder fights are hard for a reason. If you bring a healer(Earith,Matt) heal. So that the DPS don't have to concentrate and worry about their HP. Learn the fights and bring something to table. Even if it is a sigil breaks, heals or buffs/breaks. Learn when to use your limit burst. Stacked LB's do more damage. 2 LB's give 1.1 multiplier, 3 LB's 1.25 multiplier.

Viewers, Payne is a pro's pro with GREAT insight and a GREAT Discord community. Listen to this man!

[@jethbodi4648]

Good to see you again. The game just launched SEA server yesterday.

[@alixvapp]

Thanks as usual ! I'd love a guide on how to link data to be able to continue in the same account on Steam

[@LesserDragonYT]

starting over on steam after 5 months without playing, i needed this guide lol

[@PayneBlade]

Haha I got you brotha

[@samuraiknight4250]

Listen to this man all just starting he knows what he is talking about!

[@PayneBlade]

Thank you Samurai! Appreciate you!

[@wiseguise5960]

Great guide Payne! Hopefully a lot of people see this. I definitely messed up my first draw when I stared the game. I only did like 3 resets and took a draw with 1 5 star weapon for Cloud. I should have pulled for Fairy Tale, but I honestly didn't feel the need for it with having Aeriths healing LB. I made my team hyper offense and then eventually started putting Fairy Tale in my wishlist.

[@alexanderruffin3363]

This guide was on point. Thanks brother.

[@Alkaiser609]

Man that was a mouthful I am going to send you bottle of waters pre videos brother lol...Great video extremely informative! Excited for steam launch going to be great!

[@Hannibalhd1]

Free crystals and tonics incoming!!! Good break down! Very informative. Day 1 player here

[@Dad2Kids]

I have suggestion for you my friend. You shouldn't pack all of things in 1 video. Why not try it by parts like: Beginner Guide Part 1 - Choose Your Weapon Beginner Guide Part 2 - Choose Your Main Characters Beginner Part 3 - Battle Mechanics And so on. So it's not overwhelm new player watch this. Even a day 1 player like me will confuse if informed with a a lot of packed stuff like this.

[@PayneBlade]

More will come as single videos this is just an overall one

[@Dad2Kids]

@@PayneBlade I'd love that

[@unskillfullymasterful]

its probably best to go for the current banner element or arcanum if you guys are just starting

[@PayneBlade]

for sure!

[@yilei1051]

Pretty helpful to help understand where to put stamina, however not all content unlock from start. Would be great to sort them in order. You said a lot of things are very important or great... a bit lost on the priorities.

[@unskillfullymasterful]

get ready for more free crystals (hopefully)

[@nl8784]

Still gonna main this on my iPad.

[@ForgottenShinobi11]

I would also love some info on how to unlink my account from bluestacks and link it to steam, when i try to do it on my phone it says that the account is linked to another device as bluestacks emulte another phone :S

[@PayneBlade]

Ya will see if it's possible. I'll try tomorrow

[@ForgottenShinobi11]

@@PayneBlade Ok whit some help on the steam forum solved the link problem i was having xD also the game is INSANE on steam, it's super buttery smooth.

[@algaliarept]

8:25 You're saying here that Aerith, Cloud and Sephiroth can do anything. At the same time, you're also saying that we should focus on a main DPS and a debuffer, while both Cloud and Sephiroth are DPS characters. Who acts as a debuffer in this constellation? Or are both DPS with debuff options? I'm a huge Sephiroth fan and definitely want to use him as my main character - as much as the content allows - with Aerith as the healer. Currently I actually use Cloud as a third character and then divide my debuffs... While I was watching the video, I realized again how much this game actually offers and how much you have to do... As a complete newbie, it can be quite overwhelming, so I think it's good that have made such a beginner's guide. PS: Am I correct that the Steam version is missing the 2x 50 crystals that you can get through advertising. Then you definitely have a reason to log in to the mobile phone version at least once a day.

[@PayneBlade]

Both can dps and debuff with the right weapons. Northern lights or Kuja blade (cross over only) allow sephiroth to debuff or cloud with hard-edge can debuff.

[@St8rGene]

Characters are defined by their Limit Breaks (easy to unlock and free) and weapons (tied to gacha) and some characters have more weapons than others with different skills,elements and whatnot. You can technically use Cloud as your main healer if you get his AoE healing weapon (you can put it on the wishlist on any banner) , but if you grab Aerith's AoE weapon instead she can heal better because she has more basic Heal stat + can AoE heal with her Limit Break. So its up to you (or either to what you end up pulling). As a debuffer probably the best one is Tifa (again,priority is Limit Breaks cause everyone has access to those no matter what) and she can reduce Def and Magic Def by 2 levels + she has every standard debuff (atk,def,Matk,Mdef) available through gacha weapons unlike other characters. Even with no gacha weapons she is able to fill that role but you also want to provide her with weapons that can either debuff more or add DPS cause you want to end the battles ASAP and with just 1 pure DPS you wont make it in time against the hardest content.

[@kyubipl]

How many times you rerolled when you started to play?

[@user-cs2wv5ig1d]

I just started today and got Fairy tail. Then the free 9k gems i got murasame and zidanes weapon . But no tifa weapon even though i put it in my wishlist . Should i keep or reroll?

[@juliosaenz666com]

Its out on steam !!! 20 gig full download 8 gig minimum

[@Darth_Selendis]

Game is up now but can't link to Square Enix account yet ☹

[@GreenXali]

Same, tried linking but its not allowing it currently.

[@faturamentocucau2133]

I have started to play last week and saw the samurai garb and i would like very much to have it. for what you said i can´t get it anymore?

[@PayneBlade]

sadly, not until they finally decide to do re-runs (which has never happened) BUT there are great outfits always coming out.

[@demogorgon4244]

rerolled 10 times. got two 5 stars only once. figured this will give me cancer before 3-4 AND the healer weapon in that 3-4. thanks for ruining this game for me before i even start.

[@demogorgon4244]

%70 of the times rerolls do not even give one 5stars weapon btw. cancer+aids.

[@alister0328]

is there any better way to add fren in this game?

[@genshinimpact1670]

Big steam release tomorrow!

[@PRADO_JW]

You can not replace Player ID on Steam? Because I don't want lose everything.

[@PRADO_JW]

Well maybe Steam will update for the futur.

[@PayneBlade]

yea u can link ur player ID. I did a video this morning on how

[@truenemesisprime550]

Hi Payne, can you do a vid on how to go from an emulator to the steam version please? I'm sure it would run better right? 🤔

[@PayneBlade]

yessir will do as it drops tomorrow!

[@truenemesisprime550]

@@PayneBlade sweet!

[@MatthiasAI]

i wish i had known to minmax the first draw.

[@arumea5418]

I feel like all the steam players are just the mobile players moving over, least that's what I'm doing since I was emulating the game on pc anyway.

[@CasualAf-kv7gr]

Oh cool it there gona be new servers ? I dint have time 2 play it ones it come out but 2 of my frends play so i wonder if its new servers .

[@PayneBlade]

It should be all one big server

[@disturbedrebirth]

Is it on steam yet? I checked, but didnt see it.

[@PayneBlade]

it is!

[@ceegronlee]

what if I dont care about any of the items or gear and just wanna enjoy whatever story sections they made/remade

[@PayneBlade]

sadly the story parts get released 1 a month so you will go through those quick. the game at the end of the day is a gacha grinding system so the weapons and items matter a lot

[@mIllly8253]

Watch on youtube would be my suggestion.

[@CRASHkennedy2000]

You have so many cloud memory fragments. Why wouldn’t you upgrade his magic attack, it helps a lot with summon damage 🤦‍♂️ You’re leaving damage on the table for no reason. Also never boost a chocobo expedition to max. You’re wasting resources. It’s always best to boost to 1 less than max.

[@PayneBlade]

Focusing on Lucia atm and saving fragments for newer lvl cap increase. It's actually not as much dmg as u think (my p2w account has it maxed out). As for chocobo, maxing right away and taking right away doesn't actually leave much room for error. It's when u max with less time left that it takes up resources

[@CRASHkennedy2000]

@@PayneBladeI think I suffer from min/max brain. It’s a sickness. My apologies.

[@chechenfiles]

There will be a lot of mods I guess

[@sheercold26]

this sounds like waaay too much work oh my God

[@Donni_10]

Lol imagine doing a bunch of rerolls just to start the game , absolute bs.

[@jasonblackwell75]

Another damn gotcha scam game, I.m not surprised people fall for this crap.

[@ИванМожейко-х3м]

I recommend deleting this shit and forgetting it forever and giving the game negative reviews on Steam so that square enix would not release such a thing at all.
