Cloud Monday - Final Fantasy VII: Remake - Part 2 - Great To Stream From The Cloud

This week's new Cloud Monday video is part 2 of playing the PS4 version of Final Fantasy VII: Remake via the PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming Service to my Japanese launch model PlayStation 4.

In Part 1, the streaming experience wasn't great. it frequently disconnected me. but, the game let me save manually so it wasn't a problem in that part and i slowly made progress towards the first boss of the game.

In this part, the first thing i had to do was deal with this boss. it's a long fight. there were moments of macro blocking and there was a warning about the connection. whilst the issues didn't get in the way of the gameplay, it did lessen the spectacle of it.

that's the main issue with Final Fantasy VII: Remake. streaming the game isn't an issue with how easy it is to save and how frequently the game auto saves. but streaming it seemed to lessen the spectacle. the music had occasional issues, the graphics did too. so if this is the first time you've played the game it might be best to download and install the game to ensure the most optimum playing experience.

Cloud Monday - Final Fantasy VII: Remake - Part 1 - Early Access To Manual Saves Saved The Day!

This week's new Cloud Monday video is part 1 of playing the PS4 version of Final Fantasy VII: Remake via the PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming Service to my Japanese launch model PlayStation 4.

This was one of the worst sessions of playing a game from the Cloud i've had in a very long time. off the top of my head, the last time it was this bad was when i checked out West of Dead, https://youtu.be/KltyL6NREyA. after 4 disconnections, i gave up for this Part 1 and hopefully Part 2 will be a better experience.

But that's not to say nothing was learned. with things this bad, i would say that Final Fantasy VII: Remake is still a good choice to stream from the cloud because players get access to manual saves after the first fight and the game itself seems to auto save fairly frequently. so even though there were 4 disconnections, i only lost progress after the first one because i hadn't unlocked manual saves by that point. every time the countdown began after that, i was able to manually save before time was up.
