Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Discussion

so far all of this sounds amazing but I am curious how the aggro system will work in Rebirth.

[Otti#8624 26]

Probably the same as Remake. The person you control has the aggro.

[Liftea 12]

So far I imagine Red XIII to play like a DPS tank

[Liftea 12]

which sounds firetrucking cool

the cracks of the aggro system really showed in the weiss fight

[-Kye- 10]

which is the worst part of the system

[-Kye- 10]

the aggro doesnt at least stay on the last party member I was for a bit longer it just auto tracks me

even provoke materia is useless

[Liftea 12]

the issue with their approach is that you can juggle bosses around by exploiting aggro which makes tanks pointless

[Otti#8624 26]

Provoke materia only works on mobs, not bosses

Which it should work on too

[-Kye- 10]

no

if you switch off the character its just useless

it makes no sense to even have it

[Liftea 12]

it's funny how both Xenoblade and FF don't really get their tank playstyles right btw

[-Kye- 10]

they want me to stay put as barret which was the tank all day

like its not hard

the peoblem is there no stance or stuff to help out the agre

[Liftea 12]

I feel like tanks should work more like this -> make sure that they always keep aggro even if you switch off, introduce tank buster which require you to switch and don't let the AI do it automatically.

[-Kye- 10]

the attacks had like "increases aggro by 1.2%" in the code thats why they didnt even say the amount lol

[Liftea 12]

let tanks spend their ATB on defensive skills and dps skills during downtimes

or party support

[-Kye- 10]

thats just what really gets me about remakes combat

the only time its done right is the scorpion

[Liftea 12]

I hope they continue developing this system. It just needs to get more fleshed out

it's my favorite party combat system together with Octopath Traveler 2's and Persona 5's

[-Kye- 10]

rebirth seems to make the combat feel more loose this time around but the whole swpping party member only for the enemy to be like "Oh its you now" is annoying

well those are turnbased this is real time

[Liftea 12]

in terms of real time this and xc3 are the best imo

[-Kye- 10]

thats why in 16 I loved that while you handle the actual big guy jill and torgal get the other small fry

reamke I had to do everything cause they would just stand there lol

worse then KH party

cant believe im saying this even 15 party members did something

[Liftea 12]

gambit system is also goat imo

[Otti#8624 26]

Ehh, I would say 7r does it a bit differently. It wants you to play these characters and constantly switch off so you get ATB and use abilities.

Would be nice to make Aerith stand still tho

[-Kye- 10]

If I could only have yuffie or tifa solo I would be happy but no

[Otti#8624 26]

That girl runs off her damn ward the moment I switch

[-Kye- 10]

thats another thing

[Liftea 12]

Aerith wards are gonna get the FFXIV treatment

make the ward the entire boss room
