Today’s game is some more Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I did the Hell House boss fight today and jesus, it was tough. I barely managed to make it through first try and it was by the skin of my teeth. In the last stage i wasn’t able to really get any spells in because it kept killing my party members any time i filled the bar, so i basically had Aerith on healing duty and cloud spamming potions until things aligned and i got a spell in on the arm. I didn’t even end up killing it with a Stagger ironically, as just attacking to fill the bar did enough damage to kill it. Never thought i’d struggle to fight a house.
I enjoyed wandering around Wall Market (for the most part). If it wasn’t for the more eye raising parts of it i’d say it’s a pretty town.
Going up to the Don’s mansion was an especially interesting sight. It looks almost out of place here, then again rich people tend to be weird like that and build the most out of place houses imaginable.
When i got the massage scene i paid for the 3,000 gil one, thinking that maybe it would give me some sort of buff, even temporary (hence the different price brackets). But poor Cloud just came out of it looking uncomfortable. Sorry buddy, i legit thought it would give you a buff.
The Cutter fight in the Arena i had an easy time with. Just whack em’ until my lightning spell was charged and strike while keeping pressure and health up with Aerith. I honestly struggled more with the fight with the gang before. They had guns and could hit me from the other side of the arena.
Ultimately though, i made it through and beat the Hell House after ten minutes of fighting. It was fun seeing the flowers build up. I got to the part where i get the side quests for the chapters and stopped. I wanted to keep going but it was late and i had no clue how long this chapter would go on for.

The hell house fight is when I stopped playing the game. I think they did a good work with FFVII Remaster but… I also think that it’s really bad that you can’t go back to a place and go farming, that the materias cannot be moved so if you tried something that you did not like then tough luck fighting with whatever team you have.
Plus, I really miss the farming and the lack of “let me just fight some monsters for the sake of it”.

Wait a sec. I’ve been considering getting this game, and you’re telling me they took out the ability to just wander around and fight respawning enemies? That’s s core memory I have of the original. There is no way I’m getting it if that’s been removed.

No. You can backtrack a little bit. Just like how in the first game, you get trapped in certain areas till the story progresses.
You can grind in a back area as soon as you get to Sector 7, similar to the first game.
Respawn rates aren’t that great, there is a mod that ups them on PC.
