    @5:36 - elemental ALWAYS added a buff to the weapon based on what it was paired with so long as it was placed on the weapon, this hasn't changed.
    Specifically, in the original game if you placed elemental paired with fire on your armor then you would gain a resistance to fire damage, if you placed an elemental materia paired with a fire materia on your weapon then you gained a damage bonus against enemies weak to fire but a damage reduction against enemies resistant to fire.

    • @fendelphi
      @fendelphi 4 года назад +10

      What is changed is that it now also increases the damage done by a %. So it becomes elemental and a % damage boost.
      Also, I do believe it allows additional effects(based on chance), based on the element, like burning from using Fire materia+Elemental on a sword. Or it could be that certain enemies simply catch fire if attacked with fire based damage.

      Apparently not much, if anything, has changed with the Elemental Materia abilities then, @@fendelphi. Remember in the original FFVII your Materia needed to level up in order to provide better bonuses other than being there for decoration for the most part. So if I am understanding this Materia information correctly not much changed with the Materia itself. There is new Materia to be had. I am wondering how the new Materia will change things. I wonder how the Huge Materia and even Master Materia will change things as well.

    • @ZackeryGee
      @ZackeryGee 4 года назад +3

      You're both correct. 1 star was 25 % (atk/def) 2 star 50% 3star was 100 and if there is a 4 star then it overflows to 125. You'll have to forgive me if the numbers aren't exactly right. But the other argument is valid. Elemental/Added Effect materia has different buffs based on weather attached to a weapon or armor. Using Hades or Destruct with Added Effect in a weapon really can cripple the enemy. On the otherside Hades+Added Affect in Armor is damn near a Ribbon. - Cheers guys! Let's enjoy this game!!

    • @benfubbs2432
      @benfubbs2432 4 года назад +5

      For example fire + elemental on armor:
      1 star: halves damage from fire attacks
      2 star: nullifies damage completely from fire attacks
      3 star: absorbs damage from fire attacks (you get healed not hurt)
      4 star: no different to 3 star, this is mastered materia and all you get is a new elemental materia for your troubles.
      On your weapon the level of the materia doesn't matter, damage dealt is based on the enemy's weaknesses so fire + elemental on a weapon will be halved/nullified/absorbed/increased based on the enemies elemental attributes not your materia level. Basically the game uses your strength stat vs their armor stat to calculate how much damage the enemy will take, then treats your attack like an element and calculates a buff/debuff value based off of the enemies weakness/strength to the element.
      Not sure how things change for the new game though, if they do at all.

    I was introduced to FF7 when I played Kingdom Hearts and thought “this Cloud dude and Sephiroth character seem pretty interesting. I wonder what’s up with them?” And then I found Advent Children and had no idea what was going on except that it was epic, and then I found the wiki and was all ‘okay, okay’ and then I found the fan fiction and it was all a downhill slope from there. So I’ve never actually played Final Fantasy 7 (not in its entirety, anyways) but I am definitely looking forward to the remake and have absolutely pre-ordered it.

      I did play FFVII...after watching Advent children, playing through most of crisis core, playing kingdom hearts 1 & 2 and reading through a whole lot of fanfiction.
      I personally found FFVII a little underwhelming when I did actually come around to it. The plot and its twists are great, but most of them I already knew. Barely any side quests, outdated though functional battle system. I was mostly just spamming cool but often time-consuming attacks and doing lots of grinding (even chocobo breeding requires grinding, though of a different kind). I won’t say ‘don’t play it’, because it did get me more hyped, but I won’t advice you to play it either.

Not only this, but the longer they would last on the field as well. As far as I can remember about the original FFVII you can only summon as many times as your Summons Materia is leveled. Perhaps in the Remake leveling up their Materia they will last a minute longer per level.

    Disk one ends after 'THE' tragic part in the shell village. Which is more then half way in the story, and you'll already have covered the majority of the world too. (Certainly not after leaving Midgar) Also, why are there summons in Midgar, you should not be getting those till you hit the Chocobo farm, on the world map. If the first episode ends with leaving Midgar then there should not be any summons in the game yet.
    Still, it looks fantastic, And am looking forwards to getting that more fleshed out and perhaps even more gripping telling of this, most epic tale.
    My reservation, would be that I'm hoping that this first part is not too much fan service, in giving you too many things now, to flesh out this episode one. And give you things that should have been the expansion to the combat system, that originally evolved as you progressed the game.

    • @odisdracul
      @odisdracul 4 года назад +1

      I'm with you on the summons part. And even more irritated at the fact that there are DLC summons that you get with pre-orders. I love a lot of the improvements that they are making, but this is really feeling like a remake, just to milk a cash cow. They have had millions of requests for 15+ years to have FFVII remastered and refused to do so. Claiming that they would only remake FFVII when they make a new FF that outdid FFVII.
      To my knowledge, FFVII is still the best performing FF game, to date. I am really wondering if they are doing this as a cash grab. If you are able to obtain Summons that are hours of play away, in the original, or (should be) several releases away, in the new release format, what other drastic changes are they going to make, that doesn't keep true to the original.
      To clarify, I am not saying that the game needs to be an exact copy. I am enthusiastic about expanding on the original game. It is just that I am seeing things that feel like moves that EA would do, just to milk a cash cow. FFVII is great, because of how it revolutionized gaming and the amazing story that they put together. To tarnish that, is an affront to the original game and the fans that have been pushing for the remake for almost 2 decades.

Also you did have the ability to equip Elemental Materia with a Fire, Ice, Bolt, and others to the weapon with a double connected Materia slot to add that effect to your weapon. There qas also one for status effects that you could do the same thing to add status effects to all your attacks or in reverse using armor slots you could gain resistance to them.

    I wonder if the remake will include the missing content that the Japanese version had over the US version... and if they'll finish the bits of story that were completely cut for budget and time reasons the first time around (which is what lead to the bugs with Aerith in the first place)

    • @MmeCShadow
      @MmeCShadow 4 года назад +1

      Other way around-- International release had a bunch of content added (a lot of bugs were fixed, adjustments to esoteric puzzles to make them less esoteric, some story beats-- the entire Nibelheim basement flashback was exclusive to the International release, which is why something so pivotal to the story is tucked away in such an weird, easily missed location). When the game was rereleased in Japan it was done as the 'International Version', which gave the original Japanese audience all the things they had missed the first go-around.

      @@MmeCShadow There's still a lot that ended up being cut. My understanding is that there are entire locations and scenes that were cut but are still in the code. Cannot personally verify, I'm not a programmer. But that's what I've heard.

    I wish grandia got this amount of love in its re release. FF7 is ok, it never grabbed me like it did friends (i started with ff8) but it's good to see something iconic still able to have new tricks.

      @@Psoewish maybe I just grow too attached to monsters who are supposed to be good guys, but that game loved having you kill good monsters. If there are monsters and other creatures in your universe that are good and protagonistic, that gives your world depth and charm that makes me want to explore your world, and when you kill off half of the non-human creatures that are supposed to be good in your game, that removes a lot of that charm for me. I think I'm doing my math right I say about half. There's about four of them that got killed off, but then there is also Repede, Ba-ul, Gnome and Ifrit. those are the only ones I can think of.

      There was never an explicitly shown scene of them having sex, but If you've been good to Tifa, when everyone leaves the Highwind before the Raid on Midgar, it is HEAVILY implied that Cloud and Tifa sleep together.

    My school mates all looked forward to the next kingdom hearts games, and shared all their experiences. I never got to play and keep up that trend with them. What i did play was classic FF7, it is my favorite game, i played it to death. That is why this can't come soon enough. When i heard the first release date was the day after my birthday i was overjoyed. Now im just giddy with anticipation reserving my copy. Thank you Oxtra for the insider first looks. 👋👍🙏
