#even the megaboss where the camera (here we go again) glitched out RIDICULOUSLY

[pagerunner-j]

It's amazing how much of this shit I've put up with from Square over the years, really. Although occasionally I do hit a wall. Like: this is why I never finished Episode Ignis, and never did put myself through Episode Ardyn (sorry, Darin) back in the FFXV days.

The villains, again: hinky combat controls, and THE FUCKING CAMERA.

Fuck that camera in....well, whatever the equivalent it has of an ear.

(Also, I skipped 16. DId I mention I skipped 16? Mostly it was because the vibes were overwhelming me with "we're taking ourselves way too seriously (and really really really want to be Game of Thrones)," which is not what I wanted out of a game series that otherwise provides such features as giant rideable chickens.)

...ah, Squeenix. My patience, it is tried. And yet here I am, again. Guess I only have myself to blame at this point.

Feeling disheartened about the combat in the FF7 Rebirth demo. I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with it, considering I played the entirety of the first game and he DLC, but somehow, nothing makes sense, and I'm fighting the camera far more than I'm fighting the enemies. It keeps swerving around so much I've got a splitting headache and I'm feeling nauseated, and that's happening even while I'm trying to lock onto enemies and stay focused. The constant knockbacks even though I'm fucking dodging aren't helping, either, and it's hard to figure out what I'm doing wrong when there's two creatures rushing me at once, so there's no time to really break it down.

All right, I'm old, but Jesus. I've never missed turn-based combat so much in my life.

Any tips?

(I mean, apart from easy mode, which works but is making me feel like a dumbass.)
