Can we talk about Chapter 11 please?
Tf was that?

The first part with Cloud, Tifa and yuffie was fine.

But after that the whole S***show began.

Throwing boxes, have some stupid back to back solo fights with cait sith.

Oh and the last fight with cloud only was also really infuriating to me, but this could be a me thing, cause i litterally couldn't get a grasp on the fight, besides rolling around and hit the boss like every 3 mins.

But, oh boy, this chapter sucked the fun out of me, that I am not sure, if i want to hang on anymore.

i will be back here when I am in chapter 11 already
Yeah I have to agree. I hated almost all of Shinra Manor. I did not enjoy solo combat as Cait Sith and I didn't enjoy the boxes minigame either. It really is just a bad section.
Yep. This is the section of the game that I genuinely hated. The rest of the game was fun but Shinra Manor was not it. Thankfully we got an amazing boss at the end.

Funny how both Remake and Rebirth both have a terrible Hojo lab level near the end of the game
Yeah the Cait Sith part was annoying but AT LEAST he got his "exploration gameplay" part, like Barret, Yuufie and Red
SO IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE W KEYBOARD N MOUSE?? STUCK 1 YEAR N TRIED TODAY 2H N NOPE CANT CONTROLL THE LENTGH ENOUGH W PC VERSION
Yep, just moved it to easy and tried to move through the narrative as quickly as possible. Cait Sith is awful.

Upmost skill issue

I actually liked the solo cait part. I'm guessing a lot of people didn't play with cait much besides.

However, I do like that he has some weird mechanics, like he can do physical and magic damage with his regular attacks just like Yuffie can. (Aerith can do a degree, but controlling her to go between phys/mag has been a pain imo) and I like his list of skills. Roll the dice always does a GOOD random ability, so it's not exactly a waste, fortune telling does great nonelemental damage which is lacking (again outside Yuffie and Aerith) and like Yuffie, he has invincibility frames although it's not AS good as Yuffie's.

is he an S tier character, no. But, I didn't hate it...except the throwing boxes mini game. Especially the one on the elevator. No chance to redo because they didn't explain what they wanted you to do for a timed mini game? That's kinda bs, but oh well. I don't think the prize for that was any good was it?

I think the solo Cait Sith part was fine, honestly. Tbh, I don't honestly understand why people hate it other than they simply refused to use analyze and don't know how those enemies work with the polarity shifting stuff.

Cait Sith can win all of those fights in seconds, and you can use Breach spell to make it even easier. Cait Sith can even block while casting, and the summoning magic ability is a pretty huge cheese for this section in addition to nuking with fortune telling / crit build.

The same could be said about the Roche fight. How does one lose any of the Roche fights. I'm pretty sure they're designed to intentionally be easy, more of a spectacle and you aren't actually expected to lose them... Just spam punsiher/block and hit back. Dodge his few unblockables. Use barrier magic and debrave if you got garbage skills to cheese it. Literally nothing more than a player skill issue.

As for the boxes? Honestly? I got all 10 on first try. I sincerely dk how anyone could struggle with that so I don't even have more to say about that. I was rather stunned after all the drama I heard about that section and then, having actually done it, turned out people that bad at video games... like "that bad" actually exist. Idk any other way to put it. Maybe all the complaints are people using mouse/keyboard? Idk how well that works for the boxes.

You also fight only a handful of fights, too, anyways. The entire section is very short.

My only complaint is that Aerith and Barret barely talked which was actually kind of weird...

.

It was the fact that the game didn't actually tell you there was a game going on or what the point was and even further the camera isn't fixed so you could be looking at the other side completely wasting seconds not realizing the game even started because once you're on the elevator, there's no 'this is a minigame' window that pops up like for every other mini game, it just goes, so also if someone walked away from the keyboard for any reason too, they'd lose those seconds. The window was also pretty tight considering.
I am not a fan of Cait Sith's playstyle, so i disliked that part. But at the same time, eh. Everyone gets some spotlight in ReBirth and I do quite like that.

I'm not a fan of spontaneous moments like that either, but you could always just load the save.

I can only imagine most haven't gone two hours or whatever without saving, especially with how much hate some of the fights get there because people don't read the intel for the enemies so they would probably save just to save themselves from themselves.

If one doesn't save for whatever crazy reason though..., it is just a Johnny achievement collectible so pretty much worthless, and if someone is collecting all achievements they have to redo that spot in hard mode again anyways and will be prepared next playthrough. Thus, in hindsight, I don't think it really is an issue, personally.

Same. Somewhat strong, but totally not a fan of using him. Glad they gave him a bit of spotlight there and in the surrounding sections of that story, though.

I forgot how long it had been since I had saved and didn't care too much to see if it was like at the start of the cait sith segment. So I just skipped.

this is actually one of the reasons I do like Cait, just like Yuffie he CAN tackle any enemy with no materia as they both have range, melee, invincibility frames, and nonelemental magic attacks which makes fighting this games version of the Jersey possible. I also liked throwing the moogle at the enemy and then just playing cait not riding the moogle.

my typical team leaders at different parts of the game are Yuffie, Aerith then Cait. I never really got the handle of Tifa's combo style to really put a lot of time into it, but I know she's supposed to be a really good team leader if you do.
