FF15's combat was holding a button. It was garbage. Combat definitely made me jump off board too though, admittedly. Regardless they've made enough story changes that I have absolutely no interest in the product. I would have loved a release of the original with modern graphics, I can do without the re-imagining of the game itself.

Assess usually gives you tips on what to do to pressure/stagger enemies for more damage.
Magic is a big one early on, especially the weakness element. Blocking/Counter Attacking or Dodgeing then attacking from behind are other triggers.
I literally just learned after finishing the game that you can increase the stagger damage bonus with Tifa's triangle moves. Usually its 160% damage but you can get it up to 300%, which means hitting your Limit Breaks during stagger will be that much better.
It's really not that much. Everything in the original happens in the remake.

My body is maybe ready~
I'm almost literally scared to pop it in and play it. Not trying to be dramatic, you guys gotta understand that I was the little geek who bought a 2nd copy of FF7 back then just to preserve an unblemished, unopened copy for posterity because I thought the game was that good. (which, btw, is worth over $1,000 now for a copy LoL!) I was completely gaga over FF7 and now that I'm 41 and have a PS4 and this is actually out now and looks this incredible, I just... I'm freaking out.
I've been trying to avoid this thread due to (potential) spoilers for weeks now.
Here's that unopened 1997 FF7 copy in acrylic btw! So sex~

Yeah I don't know if they meant to do more with XV's combat and it just was cut, but it was shit. I heard they kind of made magic better in one of the DLC's but never saw/tried it to know. Still trying to avoid spoilers and haven't run into many changes yet, mostly just additions. We'll see how I feel after I finish, although I can understand completely those that just wanted the original story intact without any actual changes.

The people complaining about combat in this sound like the people that couldn't hang with mythic wow raiding

Yeah, I'm really digging that. They often have interesting things to say too. Makes the world feel alive and real.

Yeah, regardless of whatever problems this remake may or may not have, in the end, it's all worth it just to be able to walk around these environments in 3D and actually LOOK UP, seeing things that previously only existed in the imagination for the past 23 years.

It wasn’t that it was challenging, if that’s what Mythic wow raiding was, I just didn’t care for it. I play action games all the time, including difficult souls style, this just wasn’t good for me. Watching bars, swapping back and forth between characters, trying to not get interrupted when there wasn’t very good animation cues. It felt like an action game that half assed it or made it overly complicated just for the hell of it. The mechanics of it aren’t good imo.

A bunch of them have good rewards so do as many as you can tolerate. One I didn't do apparently gives a second elemental materia which is a fantastic reward.
Not sure if you need to 100% chapters in hard mode to get the rewards for doing them (extra weapon ability points I belive).

I don't see why you would skip them, aside from the exp/etc, most of the better item rewards seem to come from them. Saves you money buying a lot of extra materia/equipment.

Very meta lol:
The shit when Biggs offers to upgrade your weapon and Cloud says no and Biggs respond "What are you, a purist?" was a nice touch.

Sorry, mashing the "X" button gets old after the millionth time after only the second fight.

*Gameplay captured on PC
At the end of the video it says play first on PS4 until 4/10/21, so in case it wasn't already obvious it seems like its confirmed only exclusive for a year. Downloading now, but I almost wish I waited for the PC port. Haven't played a console game since I built my PC 2 years ago, I assume that's why the demo fps was so jarring for me and turning the camera felt wonky. Still stoked to get into this over the weekend, but damn FFXV was so smooth and sexy on PC. I want the port now, exclusivity sucks.

Final Fantasy VII Player Hits Level 99 In The First Reactor
Over the weekend, a Final Fantasy VII player who goes by the handle CirclMastr got Cloud and Barret to level 99, which isn’t particularly impressive. What’s impressive is that he did it before the game’s first boss battle.
