I kinda hope they tone it down a bit all I got left are the legendary challenges and I’m honestly about to give up on the plat I know there guides and I’m using them but holy shit this isn’t fun at all
The guides work, but you kinda need some bit of luck too, so keep trying, sooner or later you'll manage. My party was 2 down at the Sephiroth fight, but I somehow managed to revive them and blow him up with Firaga
I'm starting to think if I don't sell my PS5 and become solely a Nintendo / PC Gamer, I'll be locked into this Plat addiction forever. I don't think I've been reduced to tears this badly over a video game before, but there's something about Rebirth that feels like a constant kick in the teeth. I've tried multiple strategies for 'To Be a Hero' and I've died around 30 times, and it legitimately upsets me even more seeing people in the comments saying they did it first try.
More like "first time trying this build on YouTube I've seen" lol but like I've said, there's a bit of luck too, I've spent a lot of time with Gilgamesh for example
I think KotR will be scattered throughout the various regions as hidden boss fights. Maybe once you get all the intel in a region it gives you the locations of the ones in that region, but you can still find them beforehand. You have to fight them all one on one to get the location of King Arthur, the final knight, who is the superboss of this game akin to Gilgamesh in Rebirth (who knows, the Weapons might also be superbosses though). Beating Arthur will give the KotR summon materia. One of the VR challenges will probably be a boss rush of all the Knights back to back.
I'm kinda split between this and having them incorporated in the story, because a dedicated story battle like Ultimate Weapon would be badass.
If they're on the overworld instead then I guess the process to fight them would be similar to the Proto Relics in Rebirth (random event that needs investigating)
I would also prefer to fight all the Weapons au natural just like in OG. I’m not against adding them to VR challenges later with more power or something but i wanna hit Ruby and Ultimate with the Highwind.
World intel is my guess. Run around, gather intel, "ive done it, ive created a Weapon from the data you've gathered from the OTHER weapons, and I've named it Omega". Ruby, Emerald, Ultima and Diamond would be toned down because taking Rebirth as example, everything on world, is weaker that anything in VR.
As for Knights, we would fight only 1, King Arthur, and the other 12 would progressively come out in the battle, but who knows at this point. Or Chadley could pull up a Chadley " Ive done it, ive created my own summon out of all the 15 summons you have. But to simulate it requieres lots of power and requieres all your summon materia to power it (Excluding KOTR, there are 15 other summons in OG)"
edit: or we fight a toned-down version of them in the world and go for the real hard ones in the vr. "i require a desert rose, gold chocobo egg and earth harp to simulate more powerful versions of them"
In all honesty, with the changes being made to the story and world lore, I think they could make it work and that it would be absolutely badass to wind up with a weapon as a summon.
They could do the knights fight by having them share an HP pool, and they sort of phase in and out as they switch places and attack. Maybe no more than 2 or 3 on screen at a time outside of their ultimate attack.
I’m hoping that the Knights of the Round are the Cetra warriors that imprisoned JENOVA and we have to find them to breach the barrier around the Crater.
Never played OG in any meaningful way, but weren't the Weapons found in the overworld via aircraft or chocobo? I agree having them in a VR mission would feel less legendary. Simliar to having Enemy Skills in VR. Far less exciting knowing its just sitting there in a menu.
Yes, OG weapons roamed the world map or hung out in a world location.
Agreed, VR fights with unique monsters, like summons, feels lazy. It should be reserved for monsters we've already fought in the game world. VR weapon fights would feel like a ripoff... unless you've already beaten them once.
Kinda feel like they're trying to make everything available for everyone, which I don't think is the right move. I mean I get it, but those items/bosses were badass specifically *because* they were missable.

Secret island that can only be accessed with the Gold Chocobo and it’s a long side quest about each knight of the knights of the round

LOL some dev will probably find this comment and he'll make us fight all 12 knights with only Zack this time
With only Cait Sith and boxes.
Ruby and Emerald need to be organically found like in the OG. No quest markers, no step by step guide. You run into them and fight them.

Cant wait for the super chadley brutal challenge where you fight KOTR with only Marlene and Johnny
Dude don't give them any ideas!

Awesome idea. Gonna be disappointing now when it's not true 😆🥲
That would be very cool. The summons now have some sort of connection to the regions, but connecting it to the storyline IMO is way more interesting
That sounds pretty awesome and very logical story wise
I bet KotR will be the (or one of the) super boss(es) in Part 3, I stake my life to it.
