So I beat Ganryu when th demo first came out and saved clear data in a separate file, and was looking forward to getting the Kubi Charm when the game comes out.

However, loading up the new version of the demo, I continued on from my clear data save and then saved over it at the next Spirit Mirror.

After I beat Daidara, I was expecting it to let me save a new clear data file, but it didn't give me that prompt. So now I'm worried that saving over my original clear data file means I won't get any bonuses when the full game arrives. Anyone know how getting the demo bonus is supposed to work?

I saw that the Mao anime was supposed to premiere today. But for some reason when I search for it in Disney+ it says "No results found for 'mao.'"

I have a Disney+ Hulu bundle and I'm in the US so I'm not sure why it's not coming up. There seems to be a Hulu page for it when I Google it.

I've been curious about this game and was planning to wait to hear how it runs on base PS5 before purchasing, but I'm starting to wonder about some of the design choices. It looks like for every feature that pushes the open world sandbox genre forward there's another design decision that is a bit concerning. From what I've seen from watching streamers, the only fast travel seems to be unlocking the blue stone platforms that are scattered around the map, and I am much more used to games like FF7 Rebirth and Ghost of Tsushima/Yotei where pretty much every point of interest on the map is a place you can teleport to. I'm curious what other people think. Do you wish it had more convenient fast tr

A couple days ago I was playing the game and a traveling merchant showed up wanting to sell me a cursed mask. I saw that it basically increased difficulty and cost 1,000 coin and since I don't really like equipping masks on Atsu I was like "Hell no." When I finished camping he was like "You should have bought that mask" and I was like "Uh oh, what if I need this to get the platinum and this is my only shot?"

Today though I happened to camp in Ishikari Plain and he came back! And he's like "How rude of me not to give you a discount when you were so kind as to share your fire with me?" And now it cost only 250 coin! So I bought it and wouldn't you know it has its own side quest? I'll do that

So I've beaten the DLC superboss, completed the DLC, completed the DLC Reward Board, and I even got all the items in the secret cave on one of the Sky Isles (from running in the infinity shape around the palm trees) and yet I seem to have only found 12 Flesh of Farnese, and I think I only unlocked 11 or 12 of the White Wolf's abilities. Has anyone found enough Hero Medals to unlock all of them?

According to Neoseeker, there's only 12 Flesh of Farnese in the DLC :( https://www.neoseeker.com/chained-echoes/All_Flesh_of_Farnese_Locations

Not sure how to land and get these.

!I haven't been to the Mana Machine yet. Do I have to go there and find some secret back door into the Wastelands?!<

There's an optional boss in >!the Deadlands!< that freezes the game when you beat it.

In the >!northeast quadrant, in the lower left corner of the area, there's a house with a big Dog Demon inside. He gets mad because he can smell the cats you've petted in the game and you engage in a boss battle. However, when you beat him, you're stuck in a black space and can't move your characters. The first time, I had to restart the game, luckily the Autosave was a short while ago. The second time I tried to fight him, the freeze happened but I was able to teleport back to town, then back to the Deadlands and when I went into the house, he was still alive and I could fight him again. I assume he's co

I finished the main story of Rebirth over the weekend and I think I have some idea of how certain plot elements will work differently in Part 3 from the OG. Spoilers below, obviously.

So in the game, we saw that the White Materia and Black Materia work differently than in the original game. They seem to both have a "complete" form and an "incomplete" form. And I suspect I know how they change between states.

I suspect that at the end of Remake, when Aerith purified the wall of whispers on the Midgar Expressway, she was using Holy. When she did that, her White Materia turned Clear. So now it has to be refilled to be White again. How does it do that? I think it requires "moments and me

When I played the original Final Fantasy VII in the 90s, I was gripped by the Nibelheim incident as told by Cloud in the Kalm flashback. However, I remember thinking that Sephiroth's switch from a dutiful SOLDIER to a mass murderer seemed too sudden. He finds out that he's the product of an unethical Shinra experiment, mistakenly believes himself to be an Ancient, and apparently decides that all humans must die for past transgressions against his people. It felt like something was missing.

However, I think a line Sephiroth says in the basement of the Shinra Mansion in the Rebirth version of the Kalm flashback may be the key.

At the Mako Spring on Mt. Nibel, Sephiroth talks about what a gre

When I first played Remake, and saw the illusions that Sephiroth showed the party in the Shinra VR simulator, as well as the massive spells he cast in the final boss fight in the Singularity, I thought there was a big chance that Sephiroth's endgame in Rebirth and Part Three would not involve Meteor. It seemed to me that if we wanted to succeed in becoming a god, he might want to come up with a different scheme that didn't involve the Black Materia, especially if there was a possibility that Aerith has memories of the future that would help her prevent him from pulling off his plan.

But on further reflection, I feel like I have a better understanding of why the devs would want us to see Met

There's a lovely piano melody that plays during certain emotional moments in the game, but I can't seem to find the title.

It plays near the end of the "Payback" side quest when Otto starts talking about painful memories of his past and Cid. https://youtu.be/9eYQS9Nnll4?si=so5w_PGt3_kjRfDb&t=15m22

I went through all the sample snippets on the Final Fantasy XVI soundtrack website but couldn't find it. If it appears on the soundtrack somewhere, I'd be grateful if anyone can tell me the name. Thanks!

I finished the game last week, and it was one of the most amazing games I've ever played. To me, it did what it needed to do, which was be a much better game than FFXIII and FFXV. I really hope CBU3 gets an even bigger budget to do another mainline, single player title, and I hope they are able to take some lessons from player feedback to this one. Here's what I would love to see for next time.

Exploration. The open zones were, I think, the perfect sweet spot between the open world of FFXV and the field areas of the PS2 era. However, I think there needed to be more incentive to explore and go off the beaten path than just finding chests with crafting materials and Gil Bugs inside. I als

We know very little about the world beyond Valisthea, other than the fact that there is a land called Gaia, and that Barnabas arrived "on the shores of Ash a landless and titleless wanderer" (which could mean he came there from Storm or from somewhere else).

I'm curious if other continents have Eikons and Mothercrystals or if it's something that makes Valisthea unique. I could see it as a big part of Valisthea's place in the global economy - people from all over the world would come to Valisthea to obtain crystals. Perhaps the civilization of the Fallen was just small enough that when their airships crashed, all the debris landed only in Valisthea, including the Mothercrystals. All this ma
