Final Fantasy VII Remake - Chapter 5: Dogged Pursuit, part 3
Time for an interlude: What happens if Cloud goes the wrong way in the Corkscrew Tunnels? Turns out it's a lot like taking the stairs. Tired of constantly being told what to do, Cloud snaps and decides he's going to go for a jog to clear his head. The only problem is that his little jaunt is going the wrong way. It's also a semi-decent EXP grinding route (well, for this game), but grinding isn't required to quickly get max level.
This is a full episode and not an extra because this is what I did for the playthrough. Otherwise the party's EXP totals would have gotten an unexplained boost after the last episode.
This is a Let's Play of Final Fantasy 7 Remake on Normal difficulty with no commentary. The goal is to find hidden content, important details in the environmental storytelling, and interesting material related to fan theories. Any interesting material found will be grouped into smaller Discoveries and Extras videos. Hopefully by the end we will better understand the story, lore, and world building.
This playthrough will be baseline reference material for a future commentated Hard playthrough. The Hard playthrough will focus on story, lore, game design, fan theories, and whether or not Remake part 2 is going to be worth the wait after certain plot twists. You know which ones.
The playthrough is on a PS4 Pro with an SSD.
Thanks for watching!
