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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

9 I get, 10 I get if the boss you got stuck on was Seymour Flux or Yunalesca (first time fighting Yunalesca was my only Game Over in the whole FFX main storyline ) ...

... But how do you get stuck on 13 or 15
