Final Fantasy 7 Remake Materia Guide: Essential Materia You Might’ve Missed

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a massive game with a mostly straightforward structure. Throughout its 40-plus hour playtime, you’ll go from dungeon to dungeon, completing some side-missions along the way, while pushing the story forward and rarely looking back. If you allow yourself to be swept up in the momentum of your mission to liberate Midgar, it can be easy to miss valuable collectibles accidentally. Some of the most important is Materia, which are colored orbs you can equip to characters to beef up their base attack skills by providing them spells, abilities, and summons.

You’re not going to want to bypass all the useful Materia you can collect throughout your journey. Below, we’ve detailed the easiest ones to miss, which includes info on what they do and how to find them.

Be sure to check back often as we update this feature with even more essential Materia you might’ve missed. For more about Materia, you should also read our Materia loadout guide about how to build the proper set for your party. Otherwise, read our FF7 Remake review.

Trolls World Tour Review

Trolls World Tour was originally meant to open theatrically but was changed to a VOD debut due to the coronavirus pandemic. The movie is now available on Amazon Prime and other digital platforms.

[poilib element=”accentDivider”]

Seeking something peppy and diverting? Trolls World Tour is here to deliver that, but not much else.

Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake reunite, reprising the roles of the ever-perky Queen Poppy and the worrywart Branch, as the twee trolls set out on a new adventure. Don’t remember the details of the 2016 film Trolls? No worries. The troll-eating Bergens who were the antagonists there have no impact on the plot here. Plus, the splashy sequel kicks off with a broad strokes recap: despite their differences Poppy and Branch teamed up to save the world. Now, they’ll have to do it again, once more with the power of music.

When an unusual invite arrives to Poppy’s Kingdom, she and her tribe realize there are many more trolls in the world. Hers are Pop Trolls. But neighboring kingdoms have trolls defined by Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, and Rock music. Each of these kingdoms contains a relic, a magical string that keeps the songs humming. However, the Rock Trolls’ queen, Barb (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s tour-de-force Rachel Bloom), is on a “world tour” to claim all the strings. Once collected, she plans to play a power chord that’ll turn all trolls into “rock zombies.” And if you’re wondering how that rebellious music form became the “conformity is good” bad guys, you’re overthinking Trolls World Tour. This plot isn’t remotely concerned with making sense.

[ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/20/trolls-world-tour-trailer-1]

For instance, don’t get too hung up on “there are only six kinds of music” thing. Poppy and her posse soon learn that’s untrue as they cross paths with bounty hunters representing smooth jazz, K-pop, reggaeton, and yodeling. Then in a Frozen 2-like twist, Poppy learns that the history lesson unspooled by her father is willfully papering over her ancestors’ colonizer crimes. (“Scrapbooks are made by the winners.”) Then, that shocking reveal is glossed over when the Funk contingent instantly forgives them with a hip-hop song about love and unity.

The music is the rollicking heartbeat of this movie, sometimes literally. Trolls World Tour is easily entertaining, bouncing across an array of familiar songs, including, Daft Punk’s “One More Time,” Ozzy Osborne’s “Crazy Train,” and Spice Girls’ “Wannabe.” Some songs are covered with a sparkling spirit by the likes of Kendrick, Timberlake, and Bloom. More musical talent is brought on board with cameos, which include Hamilton star Anthony Ramos, a country-singing Kelly Clarkson, R&B diva Mary J. Blige, funk icon George Clinton, rapper Anderson .Paak, and Ozzy Osborne, who plays a trolls version of himself.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=new-movies-coming-to-vod-early&captions=true”]

Speaking of silliness, Trolls World Tour is stocked with daffy characters new and old. James Corden, Ron Funches, and Kunal Nayyar return to bring some laughs and shine as Poppy’s pre-established pals. Kenan Thompson joins as Tiny Diamond, a newly spawned Pop Troll who bursts out of his father’s head in egg form, then bursts into a rap song introducing himself. As the mohawked bad troll Barb, Bloom slays it, offering an avalanche of attitude and pipes that don’t quit. Sam Rockwell brings swagger as a suave cowpoke called Hickory. Charlyne Yi plays a maudlin pennywhistle, while Deadpool’s Karan Soni lends his voice to a rocker minion, and Jamie Dornan of Fifty Shades of Grey plays a brainwashing creep called Slow Jazz Chaz. It might sound like my mind has snapped, but this is just the zany spectacle of Trolls World Tour.

For grown-ups who might want more than slapstick, loud sounds, and toilet humor, the sequel folds in comical allusions to more mature cinema like Mad Max: Fury Road, Monty Python’s Holy Grail, and Laurence of Arabia. But that’s about it.

28 Blood-Soaked Slasher Movies Streaming On Netflix And Elsewhere Right Now

Who needs to leave the house when you can watch these cinematic killing sprees instead?

While being chased through the woods or stalked in your own home by a masked maniac wielding a butcher’s knife wouldn’t be a good time in reality, it sure is fun to watch onscreen. That’s the crux of the slasher subgenre of horror: Watching naive groups of unsuspecting teens or other victims run for their lives as they’re picked off one by one is fun. And if there’s one thing we need more of during these trying times, it’s that.

Luckily, thanks to the age of streaming, we don’t need to press pause on our media viewing habits just because of a global pandemic. And there are plenty of gruesome, terrifying, and hilarious slashers streaming on platforms like Netflix, Shudder, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and more. Check out our full guide below to all the slashers you can stream right now, then browse some streaming cosmic horror, body horror, and monster movies and make an evening of it.

And speaking of things you should be watching, consider listening to GameSpot’s weekly TV series and movies-focused podcast, You Should Be Watching. With new episodes premiering every Wednesday, you can watch a video version of the podcast over on GameSpot Universe or listen to audio versions on Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play, and Apple Podcasts.

1. Scream 1-3 (1996-2000)

Streaming on: Various/Netflix

Scream may have revitalized the horror movie scene in the 1990s, but it’s just as fun a watch today. The original is available to stream on a variety of subscription and rental services, including Showtime, DirecTV, and Amazon Prime, while the first two sequels are available for streaming on Netflix.

2. Friday the 13th (1980)

Streaming on: Shudder/Amazon Prime

While the Friday the 13th franchise is best known for introducing the masked killer Jason Voorhees onto the world, it’s not him stalking and killing a summer camp full of unsuspecting teens in the originalthis horror classic. This movie is available to stream with an Amazon Prime subscription, or on the horror streaming service Shudder. Oh, and there are, like, ten sequels on Shudder as well. Might as well binge ’em.

3. Friday the 13th (2009)

Streaming on: Netflix

The 2009 remake, on the other hand, is streaming on Netflix. Sure, it wasn’t terribly well received at the time of its release, but maybe it’s aged better in the last decade? Either way, it could be good for a hate-watch.

4. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Streaming on: Amazon/Google/YouTube/Vudu (rental)

A Nightmare on Elm Street ruined an entire generation of kids’ ability to sleep without nightmares about a blade-fingered, striped sweater-wearing lunatic slashing their throats. Like Friday the 13th, ANoES has a mediocre remake streaming on Netflix (the poorly received 2010 version). If you want to watch the classic original, you’ll have to pony up a few bucks to rent it on a service like Amazon Prime, Google Play, or YouTube.

5. Candyman (1992)

Streaming on: Netflix

Here’s one classic slasher that is available on Netflix. Written and directed by Bernard Rose and based on the short story “The Forbidden” by Clive Barker, Candyman features a supernatural, hook-handed killer who can be summoned by repeating his name into a mirror. It’s a tried-and-true gimmick, but effective nonetheless.

6. Child’s Play (1988)

Streaming on: Netflix

The campy slasher that caused children everywhere to burn all their toy dolls on a pyre in the backyard (we’re guessing) is available to stream with a Netflix subscription. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you.

7. Cult of Chucky (2017)

Streaming on: Netflix

Most seventh sequels are not this good, making 2017’s Cult of Chucky a notable exception. Like the original Child’s Play, Cult of Chucky is streaming on Netflix.

8. Child’s Play 2-3

Streaming on: Hulu

If you’re a Hulu subscriber, you can also check out some of the in-between Chucky movies–specifically, Child’s Play 2 and 3. If you think there’s only so much you can do with a talking, stabbing, evil doll, well, so what? Don’t overthink it.

9. Halloween

Streaming on: Shudder

The movie that introduced Michael Myers is streaming on the horror platform Shudder. With the revitalization the series has seen in recent years thanks to the 2018 sequel/reboot, it’s a great time to revisit the original.

10. Halloween 2

Streaming on: Max Go (Cinemax)

If you’re a Cinemax subscriber, you can also access Halloween’s original sequel, Halloween 2, on the streaming Cinemax service Max Go.

12. The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)

Streaming on: Amazon Prime/Shudder

Writer Rita Mae Brown penned The Slumber Party Massacre originally as a parody of the slasher genre, but director/producer Amy Holden Jones wound up shooting it as a genuine thriller. The result takes on genre tropes while establishing some of its own. Watch it with an Amazon Prime or Shudder subscription.

13. Maniac (1980)

Streaming on: Amazon Prime/Shudder/Vudu (ads)

Cult classic exploitation slasher Maniac was remade in 2012 with Elijah Wood in the starring role, but it’s the original that’s still most worth watching. Luckily, you can find it streaming on Amazon Prime or Shudder, or, lacking either of those subscriptions, free (with ads) on Vudu.

14. Maniac (2012)

Streaming on: Amazon Prime

The aforementioned Elijah Wood-starring remake can also be streamed, if you prefer something a bit more modern, or want to watch the two back to back and compare the carnage.

15. My Bloody Valentine (1981)

Streaming on: Shudder/Starz/DirecTV

When My Bloody Valentine was originally released in 1981, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) forced director George Mihalka to chop nine minutes of footage from the film. Most of that cut gore has never re-emerged, but nevertheless, you can stream the movie today on Shudder, Stars, or DirecTV. Oh, and in case you’re wondering (like I was), the band is unrelated.

16. Hush (2016)

Streaming on: Netflix

Hush may stretch the definition of a slasher–if we’re being honest, it’s really more of a home invasion movie, since the list of victims is so short (slashers generally have a high kill count as a rule). But the story of a deaf woman fighting back against a vicious killer is a fun ride, and since it’s available on Netflix, we figured we might as well shout it out.

17. All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)

Streaming on: Netflix

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane has everything slasher fans might hope for: A grindhouse aesthetic, a bunch of naive teenage victims, a psycho killer, Amber Heard, and more. However, don’t feel bad if you missed it–the movie did festival rounds in 2006, but then took several years to actually release, since its distributor went out of business. Thankfully, it’s available for streaming on Netflix now.

18. Happy Death Day (2017) and Happy Death Day 2U (2019)

Streaming on: HBO/DirecTV

This comedy slasher combines the genre’s familiar tropes–a masked killerd stalking attractive college students–with the traditions of a completely unrelated subgenre: Groundhog Day. The victim, played by Jessica Rothe, wakes up in her bed on the same day after being murdered over and over, and must deduce exactly who keeps killing her. The sequel expands the sci-fi concept.

19. The Final Girls (2015)

Streaming on: DirecTV

This genre send-up, in which a group of teenagers get trapped inside an actual slasher movie, features a stellar cast of comedic actors (including Taissa Farmiga, Malin Akerman, Alia Shawkat, Thomas Middleditch, Adam Devine, and more) who know exactly how to play with slasher tropes to create a fun and unique tribute movie.

20. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)

Streaming on: Amazon Prime/Shudder

This overlooked slasher classic is both parodic mockumentary and genuine horror–a wannabe killer invites a film crew to document his rise to power. It’s a must-see for slasher fans, and it’s streaming on Amazon Prime and Shudder.

21. Opera (1987)

Streaming on: Amazon Prime/Vudu (ads)/Epix

Italian horror filmmaker Dario Argento presented this twisted take on a Phantom of the Opera-like story in which a killer murders various players in a production of Verdi’s Macbeth opera. You can watch it with an Amazon Prime subscription, or free with ads on Vudu.

22. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

Streaming on: Amazon Prime/Shudder

The iconic Texas Chainsaw Massacre–the original–is streaming on Amazon Prime and Shudder. If you haven’t seen it, go correct that now.

23. Christmas Evil (1980)

Streaming on: Shudder/Showtime/DirecTV/Vudu (ads)/Roku (ads)

A man is gradually driven insane by a childhood trauma involving Santa. Naturally, this leads to murderous hijinks that include a red-suited killing spree. To top it off, the movie was originally called “You Better Watch Out,” which is basically perfect. What more do you need to know?

24. Hell Night (1981)

Streaming on: Shudder

Four college students–two male and two female–are picked off one by one in a decrepit mansion. You’ll find this slasher streaming on Shudder.

25. StageFright (1987)

Streaming on: Shudder/DirecTV/Vudu (ads)

Part slasher, part murder mystery, the Italian horror movie StageFright sees a troupe of actors trapped in a playhouse after one of them turns up dead during rehearsal. Like so many other classic slashers, it’s streaming Shudder, as well as a couple of other platforms.

26. Madman (1982)

Streaming on: Amazon Prime/Shudder

Boy, the ’80s were a good time for slashers. This 1982 classic concerns an axe-wielding murderer summoned by a group of campers telling fireside scary stories. It doesn’t get more tropey than that.

27. Tourist Trap (1979)

Streaming on: Shudder/Tubi (ads)

David Schmoeller’s 1979 slasher Tourist Trap follows a group of road-tripping teens as they become stranded at a roadside museum full of mannequins. Naturally, they quickly start dying. Watch it on Shudder, or on Tubi (with ads).

28. The Mutilator (1984)

Streaming on: Amazon Prime/Shudder

Finally, 1984’s The Mutilator opens with a young boy accidentally killing his own mother. Years later, he and his friends are hunted by his crazed father. You know, just another typical slasher. Watch it streaming on Amazon Prime or Shudder.

What Would Suit Tifa Choices: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Dress Guide

There are a few points in Final Fantasy 7 Remake where your actions affect the story later on, and it’s definitely not clear how your answers will change things. One of those moments is in Chapter 3, when you can spend a few minutes alone with Tifa. When she suggests dressing up and going out with Cloud, Tifa asks you what kind of outfit would suit her for the date. What you answer will change a later event slightly, and ties into a Trophy you can only earn once you fully completed the game.

Note: Spoilers for Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s story beyond this point. They’re minor, but if you want to experience everything yourself, quit reading and go play.

What Would Suit Tifa Answers And Effects

You first spend time with Tifa in FF7 Remake when you reach Sector 7 in Chapter 3. At that point, you’ll have several side-quests you can complete in the town to earn various rewards–check out our full Chapter 3 walkthrough for everything you need to know about them.

Cyberpunk 2077 Will Get At Least Two DLC Expansions, Which Will Be Announced Before Launch

Cyberpunk 2077 will receive additional DLC post-launch, including a multiplayer mode. During a recent investors call reviewing the company’s most recent financial quarter, CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński revealed additional details about Cyberpunk’s DLC including potential length and announcement window.

During a Polish-language meeting with investors, Kiciński was asked about DLC for Cyberpubnk 2077 which is set to be released on September 17. Kiciński was asked how big the DLC will be and when they’ll be announced.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=100-new-cyberpunk-2077-screenshots-gangs-characters-and-playstyles-revealed&captions=true”]

As translated by IGN Poland, Kiciński revealed that players can “expect no less than Witcher 3 [expansion size].” Considering that the Blood and Wine and Hearts and Stone DLC combined to at around 40 hours of extra content, give or take, that’s quite a bold statement.

As for when players can expect an announcement for the DLC, Kiciński told investors “expect a similar scenario [to what] we had for The Witcher 3.” CD Projekt famously announced both Witcher 3 expansions a week before the game’s launch, meaning CD Projekt could potentially announce DLC for Cyberpunk shortly before the game is released.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/08/27/cyberpunk-2077-gameplay-demo”]

CD Projekt Red is currently developing the game while working from home. However, the developers stated that Cyberpunk 2077 is mostly complete and that current work focuses on polishing the game before its September release. The company recently revealed additional lore details like all the different gang factions in Night City.
