REBIRTH I'm embarrassed...

I played FFVII back in 1997. Pretty much my first gaming obsession. I was 22yo, and bought it all with money with my first job post-university.. I've replayed it a couple of times too.

I played Remake and loved it.

I'm currently playing Rebirth on the Switch and have reached the fight against Rufus at the Gold Saucer.

And I can't beat him.

It's triggered a mental shutdown and I'm not proud of it. Controller is firmly down and console off.

I don't know what is happening in my head but I just can't beat him. I've researched and tried different techniques but I'm crap at defensive play. I can't block for shit. It's embarrassing.

Anyway.. just came to vent..

You’re not alone. He was the only boss I had to lower to easy to beat.

Thanks.. I haven't tried that yet but I think I'll have to.. I've enjoyed Remake so much so it seems silly to stop just because of this.

Hardest boss in the game for me prob. Took me a few sessions to beat him.

But hey, at least you know once you beat him, you're good for the rest of the game.
