Hey all, I played FF7R when it first came out, and loved it, but felt like it was honestly a pretty tough game overall. Definitely died a lot on some bosses. For whatever reason, it felt like the combat never really "clicked" for me, which is strange because I can get through Critical Mode in the Kingdom Hearts games and do all the super bosses there without issue (well, they're certainly tough, but at least I "get it").

Anyway, I beat the game when it was released, but I haven't touched it since 3 years ago. I want to replay it, and I was considering going through it on Hard Mode this second time, but I was wondering - I don't really remember much about the game, combat, about my file, chapter structure, bosses, etc. World I just be setting myself up to get absolutely wrecked if I replay the game in Hard Mode?

Oh, also I haven't played Intermission yet. Not sure if that's relevant.
