My only complaint has been that enabling the Streamline Progression features should disable certain trophies. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I generally feel this way. <br><br>Otherwise, whether I'm learning the mechanics the hard way or using a guide that teaches me how to cheese a fight makes no difference... I'm still putting in the effort to master the system.<br><br>I don't feel the same is true if just turning on a button that eliminates the need to know anything.

Sadly, I decided to skip the 3rd part due to it being digital only. But this news makes it easier to skip and ignore . I platinumed both remakes though.

I think it's fine honestly I never liked the hard mode 📳 because it limited magic and made items pretty much useless. Because most people didn't even use them on their first playthrough

This is dumb AF. Why not include both hard mode and automatic leveling?

I’m sorry but if you don’t want to use certain features…. Don’t use them. They’re not for you and that’s alright 🤷🏻♀️

I always assumed there's no hard mode because it's because Tifa's new outfit will be the thing making me hard.<br>Okay jokes aside, I actually can't believe they're doing this. The extremely heavy hand holding and accessibility I already knew about was bad enough. But this auto level up? I am honestly shocked. I feel like square enix are desperately trying to make this game as accessible as possible and it's actively ruining their game design. They have no confidence in the side content so they've already included a bunch of stuff like fast forwarding dialogue among other things but an auto level up is just a step too far. They're probably hoping to tell to as many people as possible forgetting that a game like elden ring, a very difficult game with almost no handholding, sold 30 million copies. This dumbing down of gameplay in the name of accessibility is what caused Wolverine to get the backlash that it did. And this looks worse than that. I thought more about accessibility recently, and I genuinely think it should be features that help disabled people. Not features that dumb down the game to make it easier to play. Because if that's the mindset if the studios, they will continue putting out low quality side content knowing most players will skip it(because indeed most players who buy games don't even finish them therefore wont do side quests either). I honestly cannot see this in any positive way

Honestly, the combat systems in Monster Hunter*, *Black Myth*, and *Stellar Blade are all better than *FF7*'s. There is no way to salvage *FF7*; it is simply too complex and chaotic—and the sales figures have already proven everything.

Chapter selection should only be for clearing up side content, whereas any hard challenges can just be included post game in the first playthrough, thus not wasting my time.
