That R1 tip about Materia management is a revelation 😂

[Rycamcam]

Summary of tips:
1. Use magnify materia with healing material, for example. Will heal all party members. Also, upgrade this materia as quickly as possible because it will increase its efficacy on all targets. You can also use magnify on attack materia as well.
2. Regen cancels out poison. You can use regen more cheaply than trying to cure your poison status.
3. Focus abilities. These abilities are made specifically for increasing pressure/stagger gauge. The damage isn't great, so don't use this on enemies that are already staggered.
4. Assess. If you've already assessed an enemy, you can press the map/touch-pad button to bring that assess window back up, free of charge.
5. Elemental materia. There are 2 of these in the game, and they are super powerful. Pair up with elemental materia, like fire, ice, or lighting -- elemental materia will put that effect on your weapon. Or, you can put it on your armor and half damage received by that element. Use this to great effect, like equipping ice+elemental on armor, then fighting Shiva.
6. Barrier materia. Level this up asap because you can learn Manawall, one of the best support spells in the game.
7. AP Up materia. 100% more AP points toward materia when linked up with a materia.
8. Barret. When holding down his basic square attack, he will stop to reload at some point. At this point, push the triangle button to help charge his overcharge ability for free.
9. Cloud. Berserker mode -- hold down square while in punisher mode to activate Berserker mode. You'll see a small Berserker icon in the ATB window. This increases Cloud's attack damage, but also damage received for a short period of time. A double-edged sword.
10. Cloud. Punisher mode --press triangle in operator mode when an enemy is about to attack to counterattack that enemy and change into punisher mode
11. Hold down square during a cut-scene to access the menu after cut-scene finishes so you can prepare properly before a boss fight.
12. Materia -- press R1 in materia menu to see all characters' materia equipment for simpler materia management.
13. L2 switches mini-map on/off

I’m on chapter 11 thanks for helping me get my mini map back haven’t seen it since chapter 4 😂

Helpful tip: a lot of enemies in the game are susceptible to stop, even bosses. You can also lock an enemy into a pressured state using stop, Time is an underrated Materia for sure!

"The most useless tip is the minimap." Dude. That was literally my ONLY gripe about the game. Looking at the map 20x in a town was annoying. Thanks.

This is unironically one of my all time favorite tip videos. There's so many tip vids out there for all sorts of games, but rarely do they hit a certain kind of quality in terms of what sort of things the creator considers to be uncommon knowledge or worth sharing and so on. To temper the absurd praise of the first sentence, of course this isn't exactly mindblowing revolutionary information, but it just goes to show what a solidly made video from a guy really interested in helping people out and not just cheap content for clicks with pseudotips can do for someone's appreciation of you lol.

OMG 3:45 ... I have rescanned to see weaknesses so many times. I wish I knew this before

[captainlovebug]

Once you get the prayer materia level that shit up. Love that materia, treat it nice, give it lots of exercise. Once its fully leveled it basically can restore your entire teams HP without using MP. Sure, it uses 2 ATB bars. Equip it to either Barret or Aerith and bam! You're healer can come in super clutch and it will allow you to pair Barrier with Magnify instead of healing materia.

FYI, the Cloud’s triple slash will cancel all spells while the enemy is casting it

[nautussutuan]

I don't comment much on videos but of all the videos I have watched and scanned through this is by far the most useful from beginning to end. Thank you so much for this. 👏

Combat tip for Tifa. You don't necessarily want to spend unbridled strength after building it up, it upgrades pretty much everything about her; her normal attacks, her abilities, her air combos, even her movement speed (I think). There are scenarios when unloading both levels of unbridled strength on an enemy is the best way to pressure them, but unless you know what they are it's better to just save it up until the enemy is staggered, then use it for a super combo because it builds up stagger damage. Something like True strike > True strike > Triangle > Triangle > Dive Kick or Starshower.

Been a veteran of the series for over 25 years, but found this really helpful! Been having “trouble” with adapting to this whole new combat system (same with FFXV) so I’ll take every tip I can get, cheers!

[wolfvermillion]

Remember that using Tifa's Unbridled strength is a pretty significant DPS increase, as it not only adds more attacks to her damage string and lets her build ATB quickly, it also gives her a small damage boost on all physical and magical attacks, which can be further enhanced by skills on certain gloves.

[jorgepalma]

Pretty sure this is a paid advertisement for counter stance

[danveitch]

I wish I had known earlier on that Tifa is way more fun to play than Cloud.

I didn’t know there was a mini map in the first place. I’m on the Wall Market now and got lost all the time and had to open the map regularly. It’s the best tip for me.

You have no idea how long I played with a disabled minimap until I figured out how to turn it back on (read: by accident)

[ChocoRon]

I am at chapter 17 of the game and gotta say there is never a dull moment in FF7R. Everything is paced beautifully and every character has a unique personality. Love the game. Thanks for the tips, they would be useful when I play in hard mode!

[freedragon]

I actually thought the mini map was only on at certain points. 😂

[cwirk]

This is one of the more helpful FF VII tips videos. Didn't know about the L1 potion trick, thanks!
