That was a fun one! I don't think fully utilized Aeriths kit until that fight, either.

Intergrade still has some of my favorite fights.

I really wish Rebirth was more difficult right off the bat. When you go into it having played Intergrade, you already know to min-max character usage, and the fights are a little too easy.

A lot of the bosses are spot on tho, and the game absolutely SHINES as you juggle three characters and their full range of abilites. In longer fights you can also go past limit breaks, and use level two and three limit breaks. Lining up three level three limit breaks on a boss is 👌.

And the gameplay does improve massively. The addition of party abilities, powerful mini-limit breaks which you can use if two compatible party members both have the relevant bars filled, are an amazing addition to the combat system.

The combo moves are also a huge qol improvement. In intergrade flying enemies are kind of a pain when playing melee characters like Tifa, but in Rebirth you can have Cloud (if he's in the party) launch you at flying enemies by jumping off his sword at any time. In Rebirth all the characters get additional combo moves depending on who is in the party.

An edit by me, made in honor of holiday stuff already showing up in my local grocer.

You absolutely need to be switching characters.

The ATB bars fill very slowly when you aren't playing as a party member, meaning that if you need to use certain abilites or spells, you should focus on playing as the character's that can use them.

Same goes for limit breaks. On harder bosses you may need to build up a stagger, and then pull off a triple limit break during the stun. But you won't have all three limit breaks ready if you didn't evenly play as all three.

Also pay attention to ability effects. Some cause stagger instead of damage, some are single target vs AOE. The game doesn't do a super good job of telling you what to use when, but read the descriptions and remember to check for weaknesses with assess.

Often assess will literally tell you how to beat a boss with specific instructions like "do a stagger ability during its charge up", so always always always use it.

Downvoting us because you commented before thinking, is pretty lame.

Next time, when the mod of a community that doesn't allow AI generated content posts something, maybe check that your starting assumption has ground to stand on.

They're by no means the end-all solution. And they usually aren't my first choice.

But when I'm out of ideas prompting gemini with a couple sentences hyper-specifically describing a problem, has often given me something actionable. I've had almost no success with asking it for specific instructions without specific details about what I'm doing. That's when it just makes shit up.

But a recent example. I was trying to re-install windows on a lenovo ARM laptop. Lenovos own docs were generic for all their laptops, and intended for x86. You could not use just any windows iso. While I was able to figure out how to create the recovery image media for the specific device at hand, there were no instructions on how to actually use it, and entering the BIOS didn't have any relevant entries.

Writing half a dozen sentences describing this into Gemini, instantly informed me that there is a tiny pin-hole button on the laptop that boots into a special separate menu that isn't in the bios. A lo, that was it.

Then again, if normal search still worked like it did a decade ago, and didn't give me a shitload of irrelevant crap, I wouldn't have needed an LLM to "think" it's way to this factoid. I could have found it myself.

What AI?

The hand goes into a sleeve. It's not part of the skirt. Her left hand is clothed in an identical sleeve, but without a plaid pattern. Both sleeves are attached to the shirt by straps.

All in all, there is way more actually valid logic going on here than an AI can manage.
