Date played: August 26th
Platform: PS4
I played a little bit of FF VII, going through a the train yard dungeon. The group has learned that Shinra is planning to destroy an entire sector of Midgar, dropping one of the upper plates down to the slums, which would undoubtedly kill thousands. Cloud, Tifa and Aeris fought through the monsters of the train yard to meet with Barret and try to stop the explosion.
The dungeon was pretty straight-forward, with most monsters being pretty manageable. After this, I reached the explosion area and had to climb a giant tower to reach the explosive device, and hopefully, Barret. Again, I fought monsters along the way, with nothing too difficult standing in my way. Aeris stayed back so that she could help some wounded. She was also tasked with keeping Marlene, Barret's daughter, safe in case the bomb goes off.
Then lots of bad stuff happened... We reached the bomb and reunited with Barret, but couldn't figure out a way to disarm it. Worse still, a Shinra helicopter showed up, and they've kidnapped Aeris, saying they finally got their hands on the last "Ancient".
Of course, this meant a boss fight! Reno, one of Shinra's high ranking henchmen, was my opponent. He wasn't too hard, the only real danger being when he put a barrier against one of my team, preventing them from taking action. I had to attack the barrier to liberate my party members. Aside from that, I just stayed healed up and hit him hard with physical attacks and limit breaks.
After the battle, Reno ran away with Aeris, while Cloud, Tifa and Barret escape the explosion narrowly by swinging from a nearby cable. However, much of Avalanche has been destroyed, with Biggs, Wedge and Jessie dead. We went back to town, shopped a bit and are now heading towards Tifa's bar to see if we can find Marlene.
