Today is some more Final Fantasy 7. I felt like sitting back down with it today and played through Chapter 5. As i was backtracking i bumped into this old lady in a argument with a soldier. I was trying to get a photo of it, but accidentally got one instead where it looks like the Old Lady is about to fight Cloud and the solider is either trying to talk her out of it or into it.
I got to the opening of Chapter 5 today. I’m not really sure what’s up with it but everything has like a blue tint which is really throwing me off. Idk if it’s intentional or not, but it’s very noticeable.
My initial struggles with the combat i feel like suddenly vanished. Maybe i just needed a moment for it to click, but when i went into Roche’s fight it felt fluid and really natural. I think before i was being too aggressive with it. With this fight i did a lot more dodging and blocks which helped. I also tread to keep tabs on enemies weaknesses which really helped.
On a similar subject of the combat, there’s it’s wielder, Cloud. I really like how he’s starting to warm up to everyone. I was worried he was always going to be kind of cold and distant, so seeing this growth is nice. Also love seeing him try to be a good friend to Tifa, we could always use more people like that in the world.
I want to see if i can play some more of it tomorrow, i’ll have see though. I’m not sure what my day will be like.
I absolutely love the combat in FF7R.
It also took a bit for it to click in my head. I’m not sure exactly when … but once it did, there was no going back for me.
