Picked up Ever 17. It's probably the least Uchikoshi-like of his games that I've played so far.
Isn't Ever 17 the sequel to Never 7? Did you play that already?
(Drath, that spoiler'll be safe to open once you leave Midgar.)
I've already played through the game 3 times, so spoilers are fine.

The way I see it, Ever 17 is the one that is the most alike Uchikoshi's other titles and hence the one I was most curious about. I bought the bundle for Ever 17 and treat Never 7 as a bonus.

Oh, it isn't a direct sequel? I thought the plot might have continued from Never 7.

Edit: So, uh... plot twist.



Sorry about the phone camera photos of the screen, it's easier for me to upload than taking screenshots on my Playstation.
Did you change something in your approach or just kept going until RNGeezus complied?

For me, part of the fun of my second/revenge play-through was smashing through all of these jerk bosses with my ungabunga build. I found, as a rule, the best defense is offense.

"Luck is where preparation meets opportunity." By learning to avoid all the attacks that I could, I was able to survive the ones that I couldn't, for long enough to reach P2 at first and then finally to bring him down. And since I've been running an unga bunga build myself, I can say with confidence that Maliketh hard counters unga bunga with his constant backsteps, so I have no idea what you ran the first time where this fight was even harder.

Yeah, a proper remaster with higher-res backgrounds and slightly improved models would’ve been perfect. Sadly, Square probably lost the original assets ages ago. A good CRT can definitely help with the visuals, but that capacitor whine sounds brutal, hope you can find a fix for it! Looking forward to those comparison pics.

Basically switching between mage and bleed builds. I don't remember which one was used for all the bosses but I think for Maliketh I was mage with comet azur and mimic tear, so maybe one of us stun blasted his first phase and the other did the second.
