<\/article>\nYou can also just jump around back and forth between all of the chapters, which is useful if you\u2019re hunting trophies. Some of those tasks \u2013 like completing all of the pull-up challenges, or getting the top score in darts \u2013 are only available during a small slice of the story. This approach is a little clunky, since it might involve replaying a decent chunk of a chapter that you don\u2019t need just to reach the part you want. But once you complete your target minigame or grab your collectibles, you can jump back out.<\/p>\n
However, the post-game pursuits don\u2019t end there. Sure, it\u2019s fun to play the game again with stronger characters and steamroll everything. But unlocking chapter select also opens up other options that are even more rewarding.<\/p>\n After you finish the main story, you gain a permanent boost to your experience and AP (which is what strengthens your materia). That makes it easier to hit level cap and get the useful higher-tier abilities on your materia. Why would you need that, though? Because with chapter select also comes a new, harder difficulty. You can choose hard mode only when starting a chapter; you can\u2019t swap to\/from it on the fly, like you can with the classic, easy, and normal settings.<\/p>\n Hard mode provides a fun challenge that adds new layers of strategy to fights you thought you’d mastered, partially because the enemies are more powerful and have different attack patterns, but also because you aren\u2019t allowed to use items. You can use them in battle, you can\u2019t use them to recover between battles, and you can only restore HP (not MP) at rest points. This turns your magic into an extremely valuable resource that you need to manage carefully, and prevents you from just blasting your most powerful spells at everything constantly.<\/p>\n Lastly, a combat simulator in one of the later chapters has special battles that are only available in hard mode. These fights put your skills to the test; I tried tackling them as soon as they were available, and was quickly defeated. I\u2019d recommend spending some time getting familiar with the game\u2019s expectations in hard mode before taking these on.<\/p>\n Since finishing Final Fantasy VII Remake, I\u2019ve been enjoying my dive into its post-story offerings. When you have a game this good, you don\u2019t want the experience to end, and Final Fantasy VII Remake gives you plenty of reasons to stick around.<\/p>\n For more on Final Fantasy VII Remake, read the review<\/a> and watch us play it on New Gameplay Today<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n \t Fans have had many questions about Final Fantasy VII Remake during its years of development, and when the game rele…<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"How \u201cNew Game Plus\u201d Works In Final Fantasy VII Remake - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"Fans have had many questions about Final Fantasy VII Remake during its years of development, and when the game rele..."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5412"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5412"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36839,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5412\/revisions\/36839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/prod-media.gameinformer.com\/styles\/body_default\/s3\/2020\/04\/06\/af1f35b8\/02postgame.jpg\")
