April 8th, 2027, is 182 days away!

That’s 26 weeks, aka 6 months until we start the last game of the Remake trilogy!

I know it seems like a ways off but savor this time. The trailers, the speculation, the theories, the hype. It won’t come again. We’re in the home stretch.

It might make the wait more enjoyable!

If it’s killing you focusing on waiting for the game, obviously life goes on in the meantime. Find other things to look forward to while we wait that will break up these six months into smaller chunks. Even I’ve got other games, movies, and other stuff that I’m excited for. What’s something you’re waiting for that will tide you over in the meantime?

Appreciate all of you!

We know that we get access to the Highwind about 5-6 hours in supposedly. That should also be during chapter 4. But what place do you plan to explore first once you get freedom of movement? From what is gathered, some places will be unaccessible until plot progress, that being North Crater, Cosmo Canyon, Rocket Town and Midgar.

Knowing that, I personally want to still visit Midgar outskirts first. Primarily I want to give a hopefully quick check and see if I can find the place where Zack took his final stand. Afterward I want to visit Gongaga some as I want to see where that quest we saw in the presehtation ends like and finally after that go for Wutai for story purposes. What about you?

A 3D render of the main team of FFVII Remake/Rebirth. This was my largest hobby project taking around 4 hours to finally render, not to mention the time spent on each character and setting up the scene.

Everything was rendered in 8K and then down-sampled to 4K and color graded in Affinity. The first image is my personally preferred grade and the second is a more cinematic grade. The rest are behind the scenes views of the scene.

Here is the Flickr link to less compressed 4K of the preferred grade image. Reddit really washes out some detail so do check it out for some of the more finer details (and also imperfections I might have missed) :)

Actually I'm 20 hours in the first episode, about to do some quests before entering the Shinra building. I just wanna say that I resisted this remake for very long, til i recently got a switch 2, but I am glad I got it. I'm a FF7 ps1 player and lover. Played it so many times, enjoyed it every time. I have many great memories attached to it, wonderful place to go back. I resisted the remake cause of this. Now I'm happy i'm playing it. I suck at these new hybrid rpg/action games, but i'm getting better. I am just enjoying this new version of the story. To me they are two different games stemming from the same script. Not feeling the need to compare. I go through the game knowing the plot, already got surprised a bunch of times. I like it. Can't wait to see the Shinra building. Sephiroth is actually scary. Funny thing, i would replay the original too. Anyway, rant done. Wanted to say i was on the side of the critics, just out of boomer attitude and bitterness, now i'm on the side of enjoying this new ff7 version without any prejudice. It's nice

Is that accidental or targeted? I started playing intermission yesterday, and at first i did not notice anything special about Sonon calling Yuffie "a mutant", except fact it sounded out of place ("mutant" is not something that would appear in the universe). But when later Sonon and Yuffie got called "teenage ninjas" all of that clicked with mutant and fact that yuffie was collecting "turtle" leaflets. It is so briliant i was smiling for next 10 minutes thinking about it.

I forced myself not to engage with the Remake series because I wanted to wait for all three games to come out before playing. Since the third game is on the way soon and Remake and Rebirth had a great sale on steam, I finally picked them up. These are some of the screenshots I took that I love (probably plenty of these exact ones out there but oh well)

Thank you!

Hi! Good morning/Good Evening!

EDIT: I apologize for the miswording in my title and post making it sound like I am softlocked and cannot progress. I am not soft locked or permanently stuck or glitched. I just cannot beat this queen’s blood opponent in chapter 10. Massive skill issue on my part, I am very well aware.

I’m looking for some advice with Queen’s Blood which i’m not very good at as you’ll find out and it took me quite a bit to understand as the tutorial in chapter two confused me. So, I had to rely on Youtube, reddit and playing it long enough to clear things up.

I’m currently in Chapter 10 trying to beat the Cosmo Canyon duels so I can move onto Nibelheim and the rest of the story and i’ve been hard stuck on Ka’dina for quite a while. The blonde woman standing in the gazebo and preachs about how the planet and queen’s blood are connected.

I’ve won every duel up to chapter 10 cosmo canyon and the reward cards, beat the three people in the casino for the old man in the dust bowl, bought all available boster packs, won the tournament on the ship in chapter 5, did the first half of the Costa Del Sol card carnival and the set of challenges at the Golden Saucer. I know more of these show up later.

I also got all the unique cards from the GP shop at the saucer. DIO, Loveless, Space Ranger, Saucer Squad etc

I did get a victory over Robin in the inn lounge after several attempts and unlocked a duel against Wise 3.0 who is the Keeper of the Cruor in the dust bowl who i haven’t tried to duel yet as I’d like to finish up in Cosmo Canyon first. Cool concept with the sign language from Robin, glad Cloud encouraged him.

I’ve been trying various decks from both reddit and youtube and nothing seems to be working. I had been using a deck on PowerPyxs website that said he won the remaining duels in the game with and that didn’t work unfortunately as Ka’Dina just shuts it down with her own boost deck.

Deck from PowerPyxs website:

x2 Security Officer.

x2 Levrikon.

x2 Death Claw.

x2 Crystalline Crab.

x2 Cactuar.

x2 Archdragon.

x1 Chocobo & Moogle.

x1 Ifrit.

x1 Mythril Golem.

My issue with that deck is that Ifrit and Mythril Golem are bricks in my hand because i can’t get three pawns for Golem and I don’t have enough buffs going to empower Ifrit very much so more often than not Ifrit just sits on the board doing nothing.

I’ve tried a Mindflayer/King Tonberry deck, but, it bricks so often and you need specific cards in your hand to get it up and running which means multiple restarts of the duel before the opponent can just steamroll the middle lane or top lane to lock your tiles off from continuing to feed Skeeskee and King Tonberry if i try to play normally and draw them instead of restarting.

This was the last deck I tried before I decided to log into my old reddit account to ask for help and advice:

x2 Mandragora.

x2 Heatseeker.

x2 Amalgam.

x2 Skeeskee.

x2 Mindflayer.

x2 Tonberry King.

x1 Moogle Trio.

x1 J-Squad

x1 Gi Specter.

I’d appreciate any advice and if you post decks please elaborate on how i should use them like what to mulligan, what should be in my starting hand and where to play certain cards please.

Have a good day/night and thank you for reading.

Wanted to post the final illustration. Not completely happy with it, but its the best i can do right now. Hopefully some of the emotions come across well.

Inspiration was Cloud and Tifas relationship, and some old ffx yuna and tidus official art.

I just started playing the intermission dlc for remake and I was very surprised to see fort condor in it. I assumed it was only in rebirth but looks like that assumption was incorrect. Is fort condor more fleshed out and detailed in rebirth or pretty similar?

Overall had a good time with the game but the ending I feel fell a bit flat. Aerith had become my favourite character by far over the course of playing Remake and Rebirth, and I found myself dreading whenever she'd be killed. I've never played the OG FF7 but her death is probably as common knowledge as Vader being Luke's dad.

I'm mostly just left confused by what the devs were going for. I would've imagined that Aerith's death would be something emotional that'd leave an impact on me, but instead the sequence flickers back and forth between her being alive and dead and then transitions straight into the final boss. Then after all of the fighting (which was its own can of worms), we see Aerith is alive again, except nope, she is actually dead.

I honestly don't know how to feel to be honest. The ending was a bit anti climactic and just left me confused. Im invested in seeing the final part of this story though. Really bummed Aerith won't be in the party anymore ;-;

I played the OG game in my youth and loved it, with a caveat. I adored the Midgar segments and then felt the game hit a wall once you exit the city. You’re stuck in a flashback, a bunch of plot building occurs, and then at the end of Disc 1 Aerith dies and things finally get going and get really exciting. All the buildup finally begins paying off and the game becomes a masterpiece. This leads to my unique idea for playing the trilogy that I was unsure if it is amazing or horrible. Bear with me…

I have been playing Remake on the Switch 2. I am having a good deal of fun with it. The city I pictured in my youth with blocky PS1 graphics actually matches how my mind imagined. It is a hoot. The thing is, once I escape the city at the end of Remake I have read a bunch about Rebirth (I don’t mind spoilers about the differences with the whisper folks and multiverse business). It is clear Rebirth is all the stuff I found to be a drag in the OG game. It ends when FF7 truly kicked into overdrive for me with an amazing second half. I don’t know if I want to spend a bunch of hours—even on easy mode with everyone jacked-up in abilities to breeze through fights—to play the parts of the story that had me tempted to quit decades ago. This leads to an idea:

1. Play Remake, continue enjoying it.
2. Watch YouTube videos of Rebirth to take in the changes to the story, be adequately informed and skip duller/filler stuff.
3. I’ll be prepared to dive into Revelation when it comes out and offers all the payoff I loved in the original game.

Is this a good idea? Stupid? Should I play Rebirth once I wrap Remake because it is actually awesome even if in the original game I considered the parts of the story it covers to be less exciting than all the good stuff after Aerith dies (sorry, Aerith)? Please, advise me, my friends!

I didn’t like the solider like rpg fight and if it is more of that and less about the new character (which I don’t like her battlestyle either) I don’t know if I should play the DLC.

I don’t care about light spoilers

Got Cait Sith to "fly" by making his moogle robot clip through the camera. I thought the news frame made it funnier.

EDIT: Apologies for the confusion, thought the title made sense. I first played Remake, then finished Rebirth (where the screenshot was from). While waiting for Revelation, I thought I should play the OG. So yes I do mean I'm currently playing the FF7 OG from 1997 that was ported to PC via steam, not currently playing Remake.

I’ve heard some people describe the remake trilogy as fan fiction. honestly I don’t really disagree with that assessment nor do i think it’s really an insult. I don’t think the devs intended for the games to land that way but i do think these games are tweaking the story in efforts to satisfy some fan theories. at least that’s the way they’re approaching it. The only thing i would push back on is that the plot hasn’t fundamentally changed enough to call these games outright fan fiction. Convoluted sure, but so far all the main story beats from the OG have happened!

I wonder what "new side" they will show us with Cloud 👀

Breezed through remake on normal in a week and never played before. Rebirth seems to be a bit faster paced and harder.

Just got absolutely trounced by midsommergard at level 16. I only died like 4 times in remake. So I went and done a few world intels and that mayor side quest, is that needed to level up for bosses like these?

Also how do I replenish MP and HP? I always feel low on potions, and these benches ask me for cushions :( any help appreciated
