I'm 21 hours in and quite honestly its the most fun game I've played in a long time, and one of the best Final Fantasy games yet.

Mine comes the 11th of April I think.

Omg mine has been playing up for over 6 months. Is FF7 going to finish her off?

[user104658]

It's pre-loaded and there's a little countdown clock for activation. Come onnn stupid clock.

I am a bit ashamed to admit that after announcing it was up for early pre-load, it took me 36 hours to find the download ... Turns out you have to go via the game library, not the PS Store . But not to worry, the rather large download (90gb lol) finished over night and it's now ready to go at midnight.

Might be worth making sure the fans are cleaned lol

The issue with mine is the HDMI controller, it cuts out (black screen) at random for a few seconds. It was doing it constantly at one point until I moved the console to a more open place and "propped" the cable in an exact way. It probably does it once for 2-3 seconds every hour or so of play now.

The thing is, the problem probably was heat related in the first place but... I now can't risk touching or moving the console at all or it might make it worse! A terrible catch-22

Hmm, the screen randomly goes black for a few moments? That was happening with my brand new PS4 Pro, and I just switched my old HDMI for the one that came with the console and it works fine now.

Hmmmm. I've tried more than one cable but to be fair, none of them are the official Sony one that came with the console. Come to think of it, when I moved it and it got significantly better, I plugged it into the cable that came with the Switch (as it was easier to swap the cable into the console than the one in the back of the TV). But Switch isn't 4k so might still not be good enough?

Might buy a high quality cable and see if it helps.

That said, I had been using the same cable for years before it started doing it,and wiggling the HDMI plug makes weird green artefacts appear on the screen, so I think there's definitely an issue with the port too.

I had it in a cupboard section of the TV unit with the door closed - but no back on that section so airflow was fine... The fan had been going wild for a few days when the glitching started and when I opened the cupboard door I discovered that a cardboard box that I stuffed behind the unit at some point had fallen over and blocked the back of that cupboard

So my theory is that it was overheating and the heat damaged the HDMI port itself or loosened a solder or something.

I just don't want to pay for it to be fixed or buy a whole new console when the PS5 is out next year .

[user104658]

Am I remembering it wrong or in the demo could you spam potions? Items are an ATB function now but I distinctly remember spamming them to beat the boss in the demo .

Not a complaint, it feels more balanced this way, I'm just wondering if I'm remembering it right

Hmm, yeah it definitely sounds like its more of an issue with the port itself


I wasted a bunch of time doing this the other night, lol

[user104658]

I played until 3am last night and didn't have any black-screens so maybe she has HEALED my PS4?

Reasons to move final fantasy?

Fingers crossed!

[Tom4784]

I'm at the end of Chapter 4 and I'm loving it so far.

[Scarlett.]

I'm slowly getting back to where I was, I'm so overlevelled this time though xD

you lost your save? No cloud saves?

Also so far at least, I feel that I was right with what I said after seeing some YouTube videos before release... Playing as Tifa is loads more fun than Cloud . Also she feels slightly OP because of how fast her ATB builds compared to the others?

Tifa is definately fun to play, as is Aerith.

Yeah, it hadn't uploaded the most recent saves of P5R and FF7R xD

[user104658]

Ugh. I did once lose a 100hr Fallout 4 save once... But I ended up liking my new character loads more anyway.

[Tom4784]

Yeah, Tifa's a lot of fun. The skill she gets with her second weapon is quite insane since she can just stagger enemies in seconds with it.

I've just done Chapter 6 which was an utter pain in the arse, mainly due to trying to get all the optional materia.

[LukeB]

probably a silly question but is this easier or harder than the original?

Definitely harder, I keep playing too aggressively and paying for it. You've really got to remember to be defensive in this game.

i will definitely going to take that on board and i need to remember to focus on my levels too because that's my downfall. I'm stuck on 9,10,13 and 15 because i can't defeat a boss because my levels are crap.
