So I encountered a nasty bug last night and lost several hours of game play. When crawling around in the ventilation shaft, don't look into any of the optional vents. You might not be able to exit the scene and you will have to reload your last save.
Aside from that, the game has been fantastic. I'll probably post some spoilery thoughts when I finish it.

Yeah, I ran into that bug as well, though I'm surprised it cost you several hours of gameplay. Let me guess, you did every single battle available in the VR room? I did the first couple that provided worthwhile rewards, then didn't bother doing the rest. And since the autosave is right before the required VR battle I didn't end up redoing them when I had to reload that save.

That is pretty much what happened. The autosave was right after the required VR battle. I didn't do the VR battles again after losing the progress. It is just as well though. I beat the game last night and it turns out that EXP and AP are doubled in the post game. I still have to do the Battle Intel mission where you get all the green materia to max...F'ing Revive materia. Completing the VR missions and all the Battle Intel missions are supposedly required to get a certain summon materia.
Re: Final Fantasy VII: Remake: the thread
Quick update. I did all but one VR mission and finished the Battle Intel reports. The battle to get that summon materia became available as soon as I finished the Battle Intel reports. I am pretty sure that the VR missions are not required for that. Getting that particular summon materia is no joke. I am going to have to do some grinding to beat that fight.
Speaking of which, the two man VR mission is really good for quick AP. Just make sure Barrett is one of your party members and that he has a ranged weapon equipped.
