It's not the toughest fight in the world (it's certainly easier than the one at the end of REMAKE), but it's LONG. #FF7R2

I went into the big multi-phase battle with a pretty sub-optimal loadout for Aerith and (unlike other big setpiece boss fights) they don't let you switch it up between phases. I'm worried I might need to go back and redo the entire thing from the start. #FF7R2

Not quite done with this seventy-five phase battle but I gotta start getting ready for bed lol #FF7R2

Uh-oh I know THAT music. #FF7R2

Ooookay, so Gilgamesh Island is a post-game thing, got it.

On with the story! lol

#FF7R2

It's incredibly funny that the only follow-up to Leslie's tragic story from REMAKE is "hey can you guys fight these monsters and rescue this girl? Oops, wrong girl." Hope they put a little more effort in part 3. #FF7R2

Well I’m still dicking around doing sidequests so probably not lol

Fight music at the Beast Battleground is an all-timer tho

#FF7R2

I wonder if I can finish this this weekend. I know I'm sorta vaguely closing in on the end (or where I assume the end is, but it's a pretty safe assumption), but I have no idea how much new stuff they jammed in between here and there. #FF7R2

At least he didn't have his dog with him but he was one of the more annoying fights in REMAKE and he trounced me in like two seconds last night #FF7R2

sigh I am not fighting rufus fucking shinra tonight #FF7R2

TONBERRYS?? FUCKING *REALLY*? #FF7R2

Has a single person on this dev team ever once seen a play #FF7R2

I got Aerith for the second date, this feels like I'm cheating on Tifa. #FF7R2

Like I understand, it's a video game, I get how these things work. It's still funny. #FF7R2

I said this on the last one but I always crack up when Cloud is like oh no how do we get past this chain link fence if only I was carrying a giant sword that's almost as tall as I am oh well let's go look for a keycard

#FF7R2

Okay, time to go murder Kyrie! #FF7R2

The gang wearing swimsuits (well, Barrett's in a sailor suit).

Back in Costa del Sol and first things first. #FF7R2

[trying to get some cats back to the village as I fight a bee the size of a horse] this is why outdoor cats are a bad idea!!! #FF7R2

I forget, in the original game, did they offer an explanation as to why Nibelheim was rebuilt? I vaguely recall it was just A Weird Thing Shinra Did and that the residents there were pretending there'd never been a fire at all. #FF7R2

Cloud STARTING to remember stuff but still getting it wrong is a really nice touch/evolution from the original game. #FF7R2

Should probably wrap up one hyperfixation before I dive head-first (back) into another one. #FF7R2 bsky.app/profile/ebdi...

Also I would really like to know where the Zack from the end of INTERmission went. #FF7R2

Also, re: this, I think the idea that their brains are actively rebelling against the fact that the timeline's been changed is an interesting one, but I really do hope they're planning on paying that off in an interesting way and not just shrugging and handwaving everything. #FF7R2

Made it to the Nibel region last night and doing wacky Chocobo quests with funny inflatable cacti just feels kinda wrong in this area, lol #FF7R2

My next video's not gonna be critical analysis of anything, it's gonna be ranking the minigames in #FF7R2 from Worst to Super Worst.

The village of the Gi (a creepy underground location populated by angry ghosts or something).

So, anyone here play Queen's Blood? #FF7R2

"Huh? My internal clock's all messed up." FUCK YOOOOOU GAME lol #FF7R2

The party rides a boat through a mysterious and menacing cave on their way to Hades or something. There's a big blue spot on the wall that looks like V'ger

Well this is new. #FF7R2

And of course the theme for the town of Cosmo Canyon remains one of my favorite pieces of video game music ever. #FF7R2
