So I FINALLY beated the FS Chapter 7 Part 4 boss. Tbh, I think they changed the difficulty of that boss, because I'm pretty sure it said the recommend power to fight it was around 150000 before, and now it's 92000.... I'm half sure they changed the difficulty there. Plus, from my previous attempt at it, my characters hadn't levelled up, their stream hadn't been touched (except for very recently, but that was mostly for Limit Breaks or raise magic.... They were using mostly physical attacks lol, so that doesn't affect much), and I also didn't levelled the weapons they used. Might've have been able to slightly raise a bit more one or another, but usually that doesn't affect my changes of winning like that.
Anyway, I finally beat it, they probably made it weaker, and I'll gladly accept it. If it means its "Requiem lf the Damned" attack is not taking half of my party's life in one go, I'll obviously won't complain.
So, story, right? So Glenn and company finally leave the island. Rosen did die, but at least Refu survived.
And then.... We have a time skip of ten years and are taken to the events of Crisis Core, the Fort Tamblin lart, only from Sefiros perspective. I kinda could've done without having to control old Sefiros, but I guess I wouldn't beat the Behemoth and survived with only 1HP to tell the tale otherwise. Plus, the guy finally got his character development. Honestly, First Soldier, besides giving us great new characters, finally gave Sefiros what he so desperately needed: a story and proper character development. Do I like him? No, and this hasn't changed, but at least the dude finally got something.
Also, I called it! I knew Rosen plead to be killed! And seeing him in CGI🥰. I love Rosen, but unfortunately he can't be with us. It's always the good ones that die.
Also, near the end, they showed Sefiros stared at a sort of nebula, honestly very reminiscent of the whole "alternative universe" the Remake has going on. They showed this after revealing Sefiros interaction with Rosen. Are they trying to say Sefiros is changing the course of time to bring back Rosen, and possibly the other Rhadorans, or something? Don't know how I feel about that.
And that sort of trailer for First Soldier Episode II👀. I'm excited! Young Sefiros vs. Hojo kinda sold it for me ngl.
But man, am I glad I fonally got that stuff done. It was bothering me a lot.
