I posted this in the modding discord the other day, and was gonna wait until a bit closer to release (anywhere between late October to early November), and until I polished its Remake counterpart to share it wider, but that beautiful post of a father working on his own version and playing alongside his daughter came out of left field and got the train rolling for co-op. So I figured now is the best time to deliver a double whammy and let the community know that one way or another, both these games (and Revelation), will be getting the co-op mode they’ve been crying out for. Rest assured.

As for the use of AI in coding this, let me elaborate for some of you: Reverse engineering single player games to add any form of multiplayer functionality is among the most grueling forms of software engineering you can do. This is the perfect use of LLMs and without that you were never going to see a mod like this, anywhere near this polished for multiple players. I had to dig into so many aspects of the game from rendering, to enemy AI… almost every mechanic you can think of (besides those mini games…) to make sure it actually feels like it was made to be multiplayer. And even with that, it has taking me months to bug test and polish this up. No one was going to do this for free and pour years of their life PER GAME into the job.

Got questions, shoot them my way please.

PS: While Rebirth is quite a bit more demanding than Remake, any stutters/sudden frame drops is probably the result of my mad busy PC. That being said, yes this can be a pretty demanding mod and some of you with lower end PCs should expect to cap the FPS and some settings lower than you might be used to. Or consider software such as Lossless Scaling, or even renting a cloud PC.

Trial and error with the bangs for this one but I got it right.

I have noticed that the English cast do a lot of panels and stuff, even with Hamaguchi and Kitase sometimes, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Japanese cast do a panel. Do they not do them? If they don’t I wonder why.

But he said in the comments, "Eventually I’d like to put it up for download from Nexus but it’s still beta - want a little more time to smooth out any bugs before releasing it to the public"

So please go and support his video. I think what he's done so far looks so amazing!

The audio quality of this video is a bit bad, but it isn't my fault. The video is like that.

I went by my local GameStop to preorder Revelation, but the guy said it wasn’t available for preorder yet. BUT, when I looked it up, Google said it had been made available for preorder back in September. Was that for digital only? I just want my steelbook

Per Genki✨️ on X-

FF7 Revelation will be playable at the event! Wonder if it will be the same N. Crater section or more open world to build off the previous reviews/feedback?

Was Angeal "Use brings about wear, tear, and rust. And that's a real waste.” Retconned, sure looks like he isnt following is words lul.

My sloppy wins of Rulers of the Outer Worlds, Bonds of Friendship and To Be a Hero.

I didn't want to look for a strategy, so it took me quite a few times to finally be able to beat it.

I've been practicing since june. Work+child+other real life stuffs did not allow me to play more that 2 hours per week. So each time I could get back to it, I had to get used to the fights over and over. Only recently I could play a bit more and been able to make some real progress! So I'm really proud of this one and I'm glad I did not throw the towel because for 3 months, I was stagnating and getting discouraged.

For Rulers of the Outer Worlds:

https://youtu.be/pcJWeXVPsXU

My first team was Cloud, Barret and Yuffie with Cloud beefed up like a physical damage beast. I did good but I felt like I needed faster ATB charge rate.

Then I switched Barret for Tifa ATB assist with back to back Unfettered Fury. ATB rate was good but I wasn't good enough with Tifa to generate enough ATB charges during round 2. Plus, I noticed that Cloud's survivability was very low and healing with Tifa wasn't an option because it slowed the whole process.

That's why I decided to make Cloud a mage and link HP/MP Absorption, Swiftcast and Magic Focus to Wind for 2 reasons :

1) Kujata can never absorb the wind elemental;

2) It melts Titan and makes round 2 so much easier.

I also brought Barret back because his survivability is really high and played with Aerith for the 1st time. It took some used to it but this trio became more and more efficient.

For Bonds of Friendship:

I don't know if it's because I learnt how to use Cloud more or less for Rulers of the Outer Worlds, but this gauntlet took me 2 tries and it really wasn't that hard for me. I felt like the build I made for Cloud for the previous challenge was very adapted here as well.

Zack's buffs are a blessing if I may add.

For To Be a Hero:

It felt a bit harder since Sephiroth does not have Zack's buffs. So I tried to give Time to Cloud in order to cast Haste on him at the very start of battle. This paid off, I was able to win the next attempt.

Bottom note:

I really enjoyed these fights and the difficulties. Figuring how to progress step by step felt like my FFXI and XIV days with my statics and I love it.

When do you think it'll come out? I myself think in February/March..

And where do you want it to start? Of course chapter 1 but WHERE?

And if there'll be a second part of the Demo (like Rebirth had) where do you want that one to start?

Just finished back-to-back play throughs of Remake and Rebirth, 46 and 110 hours at ~95% completion each. I love how there isn't any grinding. Amazing game and platform combo. I wouldn't have completed them if I had to sit at my desk or TV the entire time. Remake runs flawlessly. Rebirth has some jenk (LOD, pop-in, etc.) but still runs great overall. If you're on the fence, don't be. Rebirth's final build runs better than the demo (wish I knew that before putting 11 hrs into the demo).

Battery life kinda sucks handheld (~2 hrs+) but the top USBC makes playing while plugged easy. Also, Switch 2 gets uncomfortable around that time. Still, handheld is a great way to chip away at the Combat Simulator and side-quest.

Just mainly wanted to put out there that this is an incredible experience on Nintendo Switch 2. The performance trade-off is worth the flexibility of taking it anywhere. I can't wait for Revelation.

This time it took like a better photo. and is easy to see this time. also I wanted to show my Kingdom hearts plushies that I made. cuz I wanted to show you guys this is how the plushies are going to look. I'm not done with the Kingdom hearts plushies yet. I'm just doing the final fantasy 7 characters.

So, I'm trying to play Final Fantasy VII remake for the first time as a brand new player. I have never played any Final Fantasy game or even anything like Final Fantasy at all. I considered choosing to play on the "easy" difficulty, but I decided to give the normal difficulty a shot in the hopes of maybe learning as I go and hopefully improving. A quick search suggested that normal mode is not necessarily "hard" so I figured I'd be fine.

That being said, I get into the game and I'm going through the tutorial level, learning new mechanics and such. I attack and defeat multiple generic soldiers, and learn to use my potions to heal up. Eventually, I get to the first boss (scorpion sentinel) and predictably struggle. The character dialogue guides you on how to fight it, but it's a lot to process while you are in combat. So, I learned what the proper strategies for this fight were (Barret's thunder magic, focusing the shield generators and then the legs etc) and I managed to beat the boss on my second try.

However, after this fight, both of my party members were at incredibly low HP, and I had no potions left. Immediately following this fight, you are presented with an escape sequence and given a timer to escape the facility. I begin to run out, but then I'm confronted by MORE enemies. Barret is telling me to heal up, but I'm out of potions because I needed all of them to beat the boss. I die immediately and get a game over screen. I'm presented with the option to start over from the last checkpoint, or start over from the last battle. I was hoping that if I chose the checkpoint option, I would at least be able to restart the escape sequence, and maybe do a better job at fighting the weaker enemies, even at low HP. But instead, the game is making me redo the entire scorpion fight, even though I already beat it. That was incredibly frustrating.

I feel really discouraged because even if I did replay the whole boss again, I'd assuredly need all of my heals again to do so, and die again afterwards. I will acknowledge that I am not really that great at this kind of game, and if I was better, I'd probably be able to beat the boss more easily - this is a "skill issue". Maybe I shouldn't have used any potions BEFORE the boss, but I didn't know there was going to be a boss, and the game kept prompting me to heal.

But I want advice. I want to play this game, but after failing so miserably on what seems to be the tutorial level, I am worried I won't be able to enjoy it properly due to being so bad at it. Is there some strategy I can use to save my heals or beat the Scorpion easier, and I should stick with normal mode to get the "authentic experience"? Should I switch to easy mode, or maybe classic mode (which I understand makes the gameplay different)? Or is this game just not for me?

Pls help!

So I made this app like 6 years ago and updated it for intergrade. Welp I finally finished the rebirth integration. Check it out on the iOS App Store it’s free and there are no ads. Hope you like it!

The interviewer asked the cast what their fav lines are, and they were like, we can't talk about Revelation we have NDAs.😭😭😭

The video: https://youtu.be/2XchB2AGuss?si=VV6e4q0FnLjTnVaD

THERE ARE NO "REVELATION" SPOILERS IN THE VIDEO

The last slide has the OG weapons marked who have directly reappeared in the Remake so far, based on the japanese names (like for example, magic shuriken in japanese was called fuuma shuriken just like the weapon in Rebirth). So before you type it, no. The not marked weapons have not been remade in the new one. Those have different names entirely.

Hi! Thought I’d share one of my favorite tracks from the game. It’s my first cover! Tried to give it a bit of my own spice — Hope you guys like it!

P.S it’s only half; might arrange a full version when I get more time

The cast was in town covering a panel for NYCC and got some autographs! Line was very long at Infinite Collectibles in Brooklyn but meeting the cast for the very first time was worth it. Very happy camper here 🙂‍↕️ 3 more to go! The print I got at Anime NYC back in August and the artist is JimboBox so go check her out. Britt had to take a picture of my poster because she’s friends with the artist and wanted to share with her which I found very cool!

This mf right here has to be the most annoying, tedious and most aggravating boss fight I’ve ever done holy shit. EDIT: finally beat it. Needed to use poison lol.

It's a really fun and great video.
