Hmm not sure if I should keep going on hard or wait for friday to see if there is an update. But the more I play the more I fall in love with the game (though I did enjoy it tons from the beginning) and just want to keep playing. Wish SE would say something about there being a day 1 patch or not.
Same! I am way more excited for the rest of the remake now than I was before I played it. And to note... FFVII is THE Nr.1 game of all time for me. And the remake is just so good.
First boss on hard was actually fun.
But I'm not sure if I wanna keep going through the game on hard or rather pick up some other side stuff in later chapters... both are fun

I did, and I don't regret it. Some people like ridiculous difficulty and odds... give me something to do as easy as possible
For those playing/ who have played when do I get access to the DLC summons? When the summoning mechanic is first introduced? Currently playing through Chapter 3.
So I'm supposed to pick this up at Best Buy tomorrow, and it seems that Best Buy has gone from "curbside pickup only" like they did when I got Persona 5 to "totally fucking closed kthx" now.
I wonder how this even works? Does the order just get cancelled, does it stay in limbo until the store is somehow able to open again? And why oh why couldn't someone not be a dick and just release it early to avoid this. :p

Depends. It unlocks at 12am Eastern for NA so some people will get it technically on the 9th depending on which timezone
Honestly I feel like the game is pretty challenging, atleast the bosses, the normal dudes not so much. Compared to the average FF atleast.
I played on Normal and most of the time was fine except for a few instances, like you point out the bosses were tough. But in chapter 17 there's a part with Tifa and Aerith that I had to drop to easy because I was being swarmed with 7 fast moving enemies doing 1300 HP hits... I'm dreading that on hard >:(
Got the shipping confirmation on Monday and expect it to arrive tomorrow. Really looking forward to since I haven't played the original game beyond the first hour or so. I'm usually not a JRPG fan and dislike many of the genre's tropes but the demo was pretty amazing.
You get the DLC summon materia from the menu. System --> DLC. You can slot it pretty much as soon as you can access the menu and there is at least one fight you can use it before you get to the slums for the first time.
Gonna start working on the platinum trophy, what's the best chapter / area to level up materias ?
Thanks - will have a look now and add them in! EDIT: Hmm its really odd when I go into the menu there is no option available for DLC? I've gone through each section and there is nothing there but I thought I saw it before as well - has anyone else had this problem?

Fira on Aeris with boosted magic & aura for double cast and you'll stagger it easy
There is not. You can rewatch cutscenes by jumping into those chapters and playing through.
Aww shucks. That was a nifty feature in the Kingdom Heart games.
Now I have to ask have you actually entered the DLC codes and/or downloaded the DLC from the store.
Yep, all of them say installed. It's really odd a DLC option isn't even appearing in my System menu at all.
I know, right! Being a Nomura game, I thought there'd be a lot more similarities between the two but alas....
I just installed mine and I got a pop-up in the game on where to find them and now the DLC menu is showing for me. I'm on chapter 8 though.
Will have a redownload and install and see if that helps! Edit: and...still nothing there will see if anything appears as I continue on.

Gotcha, so 9pm PST for me. I'm stoked - never really played the original!
That's weird. Usually I have to reboot a game to see the DLC options but FFVIIR automatically was like "hey you have this DLC access it now" without rebooting.
Hey, can anyone give me some (non-spoiler) pointers on the battle system? I'm only a few hours in but I feel like I'm not doing things properly - most of the enemies I've faced, I've beaten by just brute strength without really engaging with the stagger system. I think I just don't really understand how the pressure/stagger system works to be honest.
Should I be using normal attacks to increase the stagger bar or abilities/magic? It seems like most of the time the bar doesn't fill until the enemy is practically dead anyway so what's the point?

Attacking the enemy's weakness will put them in a Pressured state, in that state, they take more stagger damage. There are abilities that are focused on building stagger more quickly, use those when the enemies are Pressured, and you'll quickly stagger them. Then you can go crazy on the damage.
Normal attacks are to build ATB, and with ATB you'll build both stagger and damage.
Don't forget that getting the last hit that triggers stagger gives that character 1/3 of their Limit meter. Make sure to time your last hit properly to make the most of it.
I beat her alone without issues. Are you playing the right way?
You know, IMO the problem of the side quests it's not that they are more or less MMO-ish, it's the absolute lack of banter in between them. Every game has some banter, even if basic as fuck, while you go to your quest objective and such but here... silence.
Probably not.
Probably not.
I thought the VR missions were solo events? I soloed her using cloud and got lucky with Ifrit.
Yeah, if this doesn't work I may have to send a message off to support and check if it's an issue they are aware of; it's a little disappointing not to get use of these summons especially after paying for the First Class Edition. Image below is what my system menu looks like.
The game does something that really pisses me off (and this happens quite a lot in other square games).
The subtitles are for the english localization of the game, so if you have other voices (japanese version in my case) what they're saying is not what is written.
Gaaaaahhh!!!

I was afraid that this would be the case. I'll probably just play in English and do Japanese for a second playthrough
