I LOVE this setup. Top 5 most fun for me!
Also I had the +75 STR Imperial Sword equipped (over the Invitus skin), just for funsies.FFVII Rebirth: Why You Should Never Ever Use Noble SacrificeDavick1732025-04-19 | ...FFXVI: The Floor is Lava SetupDavick1732025-04-18 | So I forced myself to use Ultima for a bit. I had barely ever used it before, so I did have a nice time with this new way to play!
Having effectively limitless air time is pretty dope... but that's it. Not game-changing in any way whatsoever. I see three huge disadvantages to the Floor is Lava Setup:
- It's dependant on an extremely specific ability and Eikon layout with little to no margin for variation. - The DPS is very low. Now, I wasn't expecting a Dancing Steel + Lv5 Zan damage level, but the fact that most setups outdamage it is not a good look. - It's not as safe as it seems. You'll find yourself at the mercy of projectiles and discovering how large some enemy hitboxes can actually get.
Conclusion: it was a fun time for goofing off but I still don't buy Ultima. The value is just not there. Anyway, like for the cool ending :)FFXVI: Final Trial by Water (10:22 Remaining)Davick1732025-04-17 | Whoops, seems I forgot to trim the starter dummy runs, sorry about that! o.O

Fun fact #2: Selecting Cure is the safest way to cast White Magic, as it will carry over the Leaf Bracer effect.[6/6] Buster Form In-Depth Showcase: Finishers, Shotlocks & OutroDavick1732025-03-01 | Since you made the effort to get here, here's some common Q&A! :)
Q: Is Buster Form compatible with KH3 Randomizer? A: It's absolutely untested and I have no idea. But I'm inclined to say no, because of it requiring the Adds Console Keyblades and KH3 Modloader mods.
Q: Which game(s) are you using animations from? A: Exclusively FF7 Remake, except Finishing Touch (the only Rebirth animation) and Omnislash (from Dissidia I think, courtesy of TruebladeModder).
Q: If the animations are 99% from Remake, how did you add Rebirth mechanics like Wind Waves and Prime Mode? A: By adapting some of the already existing Remake anims, or making custom new ones.
Q: Are you planning to keep updating the mod, or integrate more Rebirth animations? A: That's definitely a yes! I still plan to keep supporting the mod. As for when I'll add more stuff, or how long that'll take me... that's definitely an I don't know!
Q: Why is Triple Slash single target? Why does Disorder not reset combo count? Why can't you perform a Punish into Punisher Mode? Why is Punisher Mode able to block projectiles? Why is running not restricted in Punisher Mode (even if it resets it)? Why is Counterstance only available while blocking? A: These were all small aspects I couldn't replicate due to modding limitations. I'm still more than satisfied with the result though!
Q: If you have the FF7R sound effects at your disposal, why does XYZ move use a different SFX? A: While I've mostly added the original sounds, I didn't want to make a carbon copy of everything. Here and there, I repurposed existing KH3 SFX of my choice instead.
Q: Why is the Operator Mode Combo so weak? A: Weaker even than base Sora indeed, and fully by design. Take this as your warning not to ignore FP Abilities: only spamming combos will lead to frustration and ineffective gameplay!
Q: Why is Steal so OP? A: It's both by design and a "feature". By design, I mean the designated item pool. And by "feature", the fact that Steals are infinite and infallible. I'll tell you a secret... they never required any enemy, only for you to be in battle and have the necessary FP!
Q: Can we customize the way FP Ability shortcuts are set up? A: Unfortunately not. I've made sure abilities are assigned to consistent buttons and not randomly, though.
Q: How do I avoid interference from Tactical Mode Shorcuts if I want to use the actual Magic Shorcuts? A: You can still use normal shortcuts while running around. You can also deactivate Tactical Mode by swapping shortcut pages. But you should probably best select Magic from the actual Command Menu. Remember to activate Command Slowdown in the game settings!
Q: Are you ever going to roll back White Magic? A: We'll see, depending on feedback.
Q: Are you going to release a Cloud skin to go along with the mod? A: No, this was always meant to be a Sora mod. Besides, I'm not knowledgeable in modelling. Anyone is welcome to, though.
Q: Last question. How do you trigger Victory Fanfare? A: I really want you to play around and find out by surprise. But if you insist... last chance to stop reading!
Additional note on installation: if you're having trouble getting Fenrir and/or Star Seeker to appear, try to use the FIRST download of the AddsConsoleKeyblades mod (regardless of whether you're on Epic or Steam). It's the one I've been using and testing most extensively.
Fun fact: You can see a very slightly graphically updated Triple Rush, as per AEO 3.0 ;)
Fun fact #2: I've been messing with Fenrir's hit stars right up until the very release, lol. It's why I didn't show them on the main AEO showcase.Animation Enhancement Overhaul - Update 3.0 Release ShowcaseDavick1732025-03-01 | And we're finally here! Who could've thought... :)

And pretty much the skill ceiling for Titan FeatFFXVI: Why The Special Eikon Feat is Bad and Not Worth Using (Spoilers)Davick1732024-05-12 | #FF16
So I don't really love Ultima. Let's see:
- Cool af looking combo (has horrendous damage) - Can levitate midair (does nothing that a simple dodge can't solve, incredibly awkward to use with the rest of Clive's moveset) - Is intended for use against multiple enemies (so useless for enemies with will bars and as useful for fodder as Ignition, Flare Breath, Rime & Gungnir, and look where that got them) - Can freely cast Rampant Ruin/ra independent of your actions (not included in vid but adding up to a potential ~13k additional damage for the whole stagger. That's only IF Rampant Ruinra is cast constantly and optimally, so still most definitely horrendous damage for a pretty button-intensive combination)
As for the abilities:
- Proselytize is just a better Rising Wing - Dominion is just a better Scarlet Cyclone - Voice of God is just a slightly better Flare Breath (so not really very good) - Ultimate Demise is a good but pretty standard ult.
So while they do good damage, they are straight upgrades and add nothing new to the game. These upgrades should've gone to the actual original skills.
How would I change it for the better?
I'd trade the ability to do any will damage at ALL, and gain huge attack power for it.
This not only fits the lore in a super cool way (what with Ultima not understanding humans/creatures and being unable to damage/break their will), but also removes Stagger from the equation, opening up a more reaction-based gameplay that some players have been asking for.
We could even modulate attack power with a DMC-like Concentration gauge, rewarding not getting hit and flawless gameplay. But this is already beside the point.FFXVI: Leviathan Softlock BugDavick1732024-05-12 | #FF16

#FF16FFXVI: Breakneck Setup to Conquer Kairos Gate in a Lightning 36-Min SpeedrunDavick1732024-05-05 | If you want to get by Kairos Gate easy and fast and get those sweet Radiant weapons, then look no further! Clear one circle following this to a T, and you'll know how to clear them all. If there's anything close to a definitive setup in the game, it's this!
Is there anything such as Kairos speedrun? If not, well, there is now. This is my best time yet! While I think sub 35' is absolutely possible, I *don't think* you can possibly go much lower than that (I'd like to see someone ever do a sub 30').
Also new Gil farm method unlocked? That's 140000 Gil every ~40 min. Because Gil is absolutely needed in this game, unlike popular opinion says.
