Final Fantasy VII Rebirth |OT| Moseying Into the Unknown

[Mr.Fletcher]

Friends, I need a little bit of relationship advice and I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm going to spoiler tag the below because I want to ask here and not venture into the other thread.

I'm half hour into the start of Chapter 11, just for a bit of context. Anyway, this is a bit of a ramble…

Spoiler

So, I've had Tifa and Aerith in my party all game long. My wife and I really love both characters but feel the game pushes Tifa a little more so decided to lean into that a bit.

We've picked what we felt were the best options for both throughout - and even chose to join the fight with Tifa at the beach. We went on a date with Tifa in Chapter 8 too.

But we've not sabotaged things with Aerith. Anyway, that's the setup. So we return to Cloud and Tifa's hometown, chat with Aerith and bang - her face turns into a pulsating one.

But after our conversation with Tifa, her smiley face remains the same. Deep blue. Where have I messed up?

My wife and I are 59 hours in. We've done, up to this point, everything, and I think we're both rooting for Tifa and Cloud, so I don't want to trip up at the finish line.

I've avoided pretty much every spoiler for the game possible, but I do know we get another date in Chapter 12. So I know I've got a tiny bit of a wiggle room to correct things.

Anyone know why this has happened?

I've done a little bit of research and is it because Aerith has one more side quest under her belt at this stage? I think, looking through a guide to figure out how this might have happened, I've picked the best option for both of them every time.

I'm asking for my wife as much as me, as I want her to get the pair-up she wants. Any advice?

I did try out the 'bad answer' to Aerith and it does stop her from going to the pulsating blue face, so perhaps that's my out? And hope Tifa's Chapter 11 quest pushes her over the top?

I don't like being mean to Aerith though. Why do we care so much?!

Did you do the find the cat sidequest in Nibel yet?

Make sure you've done every Tifa sidequest before going to the Saucer in Chapter 12.

edit: The quest might not pop up until chapter 12.

edit2: also just in case make sure you've used the Cloud/Tifa Synergy skills and abilities a few times.

edit3: There's one more Tifa sidequest with Chocobo racing too if I recall correctly which can be done at the Saucer before you go to sleep at the inn there.

 

[brain_]

I MADE IT! After 4 days, finally! I guess the trick was to come complain on ERA 😅

And you are right indeed, the next one "To Be a Hero" was a breeze, I destroyed Odin at the first try!

Now only finishing Story on Hard Mode for the Plat!

On top of this, try not to do anymore Aerith one's if you still have them! I almost missed Tifa by doing some more Red XIII quests.

 

[liquiddragon]

Felt this way in Remake but also in Rebirth. The more realistic characters look, the more ridiculous Tifa's outfit looks. Her outfit in Advent Children is really cool, wish that was included. Honestly think it'd fit w the others better too. I know ppl would riot if the classic outfit wasn't there, not saying they shouldn't have it. It just looks silly next to any other character at the current fidelity.

Spoiler

I've read that the cat side quest appears in Chapter 11. I haven't done it yet as I've just got to the region, but because we've done everything so far, that's likely the reason why.

I've completed five of Aerith's quests and only four of Tifa's. Aerith doesn't have a quest in Chapter 11. Both have two in Chapter 12.

I almost think the safest thing to do is just skip the conversation with Aerith in the town and allow her to stay as a blue smiley face, with the hope Tifa's final quest will push her into the light blue colour.

I have 1 left but I don't think I want to bother with it. It reminds me of the first Inamous game collecting blast shards and zero way to track them.

 

[Benzychenz]

Basically 100% the game. Just need to do hard mode and then the difficult Chadley missions.
At 86/88 in the treasure trove with the other one being the Cait Sith box breaking game, was playing pretty blind initially so now know I need to make a save beforehand in case I need to retry that which I'll do on my hard run.

Should I do some of the Chadley stuff first though? Probably useful to get the third elemental, magnify materias etc for hard mode I imagine?

I'm thinking of taking a break before I do all this though, already 135 hours deep. But I'm also honest with myself that if I have a break I'm never coming back to do it 😂

While you're at it, try to avoid doing too many Red XIII quests or answer too well throughout (very easy to end up with him instead as I almost did, had enough unfinished sidequests to go back a bit and try for someone else ahead of that though).

Spoiler

I was actually trying to go for Aerith myself, but if anything I've found getting her during the second Gold Saucer trip is much harder than in OG where you pretty much have to try not to end up with her. I considered going for Tifa instead since she stopped by during the first visit, but was too lazy to do even more chocobo questing with the Gold Cup thing, resulting in Yuffie after more questing and some last-minute bonus affinity earned just before that (had been nice to her throughout as well, so it wasn't too surprising).

Thanks for the advice.

Would you recommend skipping the conversations? Bar Yuffie, everyone is deep blue, so I'm assuming if I can get my chosen someone up to the pulsating light blue that will lock things in?

I've been doing everything which seems like it could bite me in the bum. Apart from the final two pieces of the Corel protorelic, I've done all the content in the game.

I'm not forced into a position where I could accidentally level up these relationships ahead of Chapter 12, am I?

I had multiple party members at light blue by then, so it can be tricky knowing which one the game will pick over the other after that if additional quests, conversations, synergy attacks (first-time usage bonus), or mini-game outcomes continue to add more points.

Regarding things to look out for in Ch. 11,

Spoiler

while you get points for doing Tifa's quest in Nibelheim, completing all of the Chocobo Sage tasks during that questline means more Yuffie affinity.

As for Ch. 12 itself, you'll reach a point where you're warned ahead of time to wrap up any tasks that could sway things to a more favored outcome before advancing the story.

Spoiler

A good deal more quests open up in every region by then as well. Playing the 3D brawler mini-game against Yuffie at the Gold Saucer and winning is something that will build affinity with her further, and was pretty much what sent her over the top in place of Red XIII in my case.

EDIT: To save time, what you'll be looking for in Ch. 12 for more Tifa affinity specifically is

Spoiler

the Sand and Circuses sidequest, which is a series of arena battles back in the Dustbowl where everyone but Red and Cait will have to participate one at a time. If you want to do the Gold Cup sidequest as well for an added boost for Tifa, be advised that completing the Chocobo Sage questline that gives Yuffie additional affinity is required to unlock it. No additional conversations left to skip after the ones at the start of Ch. 11 (though indeed you may want to pass on the Ch. 12 3D brawler mini-game against Yuffie I mentioned), but passing on the additional quests unlocked other than the ones I've mentioned is recommended.

 

[Poltergust]

Spoiler: Chapter 12

I heard that Cait Sith leaves the party after the date scene and won't come back until the point of no return, so I was trying to see how much of the side content I can do to maximize his utility while making Tifa my intended date.

Fortunately, it seems Tifa is going to be locked in now! I did both her chapter 12 side quests and then tested the final affinity increase for Nanaki (the Queen's Blood rematch), who was the only other character in close contention with her. Even with that she still showed up knocking.

I think I'm free to do the rest of the chapter 12 side content now without fear of losing out on Tifa being the date. For Barret and Aerith, I didn't choose them for the Chapter 6 beach fight and gave them each at least 1 middling response (Tifa also has only one middling response for comparison, and I think that's the only thing I messed up with her). I also didn't gold star the Salmon escort side quest for some reason so that's another minus for Barret. And as for Yuffie, I chose Barret's path on the mine cart minigame and basically completely botched her recruitment scene, along with at least two middling responses.

Spoiler

I think I'm going to skip all the conversations aside from Tifa, do her final quest and then go through the story sequence before circling back round to do the side stuff. I think that's my best chance.

I'm hoping Tifa's side quest in Chapter 11 will push things over the edge for me. I've selected the best dialogue with her every time, so fingers crossed.

i probably should have done the summon fights with each region. doing most of them now in the end makes the gilgamesh side quest the most uninteresting content ever (even though refighting the summons is a very boring idea to begin with tbh)

 

[Kuro]

I enjoyed the gauntlet at the end of Protorelic quest. Had to be smart about how to approach certain stuff although Odin/Alexander were surprisingly the easiest matchup. He just sort of fucked off and let me solo Alex until he came back with me having all LBs and Summons ready lol.

 

[Junior Asparagus]

Decided to finish the game for the first time today and the game crashed on me in what is apparently the second to last stage of the final boss. :(

It's lunchtime so I guess I'll try again later.

ehh, fighting summons that i already fought (multiple times considering i dont think i ever beat one first try) is sort of crappy imo. tbh, i would have scrapped the whole "tempering" stuff all together. the gilgamesh sidequest is already the major sidequest of the game, and then the game creates this very obvious "you actually need to do more this to finish it all"

doesnt ruin the whole sidequest, but I feel like it's kinda once again the whole Rebirth's, and Remake too, mojo of always wanting to do more and more with less. sometimes, it's okay to just pop in a final fight and call it a day.

 

[SlickVic]

Glad there's a 'reduced difficulty' option for Fort Condor. The tutorial fight seemed simple enough, but they go from 0 to a 100 after that. Enemy throwing out a hundred units, and then it's like 'wait there's a time limit on top of this?'. I'm not sure if reduced difficulty does more than just make the ATB gauge charge faster, but man does that help out a ton. Found it kind of fun after that.

 

[tjlee2]

I've done ch.12, 13, and 2 so far and for some reason Midgardsormr hits significantly harder than the bosses from the two later chapters. I was really surprised when it did a sweep and everyone's HP just disappeared. However, its HP is seems to be slightly lower than later bosses (it has just a little more HP than individual duo bosses it feels like). Although hard mode lists lvl70 across the board it seems like they still took into account a little bit of ramp up to possibly bridge it for people that just jump straight into hard mode even though the stat difference from just levels seems fairly small.


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A99VA115E4

I do want to say that I think it's commendable that for Remake/Rebirth they do try to limit stat inflation to a degree and don't rely strictly on numbers to push "difficulty". Even though the combat system is a hybrid they really hold back on high HP or high damage from enemies. With no HP equipment/materia and mitigation buffs it still takes at least 3-5 hits before a KO in most instances which is not the norm especially in a game with plenty of healing options. Still, I think they can improve survivability for enemies moving forward as the current TTK is too low for any kind of ramp-up mechanic (such as synergy ability) in my opinion. Midgardsormr needed multiple phase transitions/HP thresholds to last more than 30 seconds even in hard mode which isn't ideal for a difficulty setting meant to push the combat system. TTK being too low also provides too big of an advantage to front-loaded openers. First strike and atb boost plus control character can basically push out 5-8 ATBs within the first 10-15 seconds and it's just over from there due to snowball.

 

[Mocha]

I beat the game, did all the side content, and story scenes. I absolutely loved it, easily my favorite game this generation. It's the perfect JRPG in my eyes.

I'm going to platinum it later, I'm burnt out in 120 hours of playing it, and I honestly want to get back to beating FF16 since i had stop playing it halfway because of this game.

 

[oty]

anyone have tips for gilgamesh?

i must be doing something wrong otherwise this is the worst boss so far in the game lol

edit: done. whew, alright. time to wrap this up

 

[Mathieran]

it was a really bad decision to force people to play all the mini games in hard mode to reach party level 10. Cactuar crush is awful.

 

[shodgson8]

Around 40 hours in and I am feeling a little burned out on this. I have to credit the games scope because it is amazing how much there is to do, however in terms of pure pacing I much preferred Remake so far.

I think part of the problem is self inflicted on my part as it has been a compulsion to finish all of the map / open world activities. Actually when I get to some of the story elements (just did the Gongaga reactor bit) I have a really good time.

I think I may just push through on the main story quests and stop trying to do everything.

 

[mcruz79]

Finally, after 94 hours played, finally finished!!!

Amazing game!!
- incredible set of characters and fantastic storytelling with beautiful and very well realized cutscenes.
- amazing main missions with incredible moments.
- game really feels like a huge aventure journey
- great combat system. Very unique, fun, varied and with very depth
- impeccable soundtrack with some unforgettable music.

- downside for me was maybe a bit of to much Ubisoft style ope world and some bosses didn't worked to great with this combat system for me.

Overall really a fantastic journey.
9/10

 

[SlickVic]

Damn that last Junon protorelic mission was terrible lol. Please tell me that's the last time I have to engage with Fort Condor in this game for a main or side story quest. One of the minigames here that's a big swing and a miss for me.

Yeah this is what I have thought. I will mainline the story and can always pick up a save before a point of no return (if there is one) so I can chip away at the open world stuff.

You don't need an extra save btw. You will unlock chapter select after finishing and it saves all your progress. So you can just jump into any late game chapter and just do all the stuff you want. You can't miss anything or lose any progress.

synergy abilities not having invencibility like limit attacks at start up was definitely a choice made. welp, atleast im getting to the final round these times rofl

A little update for Kuro and Korigama

Spoiler: Late game relationship stuff

I feel like a bit of an idiot because I was on here yesterday talking about skipping conversations and I didn't realise they were mandatory in this case!

I went with a less positive response to Aerith and avoided raising her affinity to the highest rank, before completing the main story and Tifa's quest.

Thankfully, rescuing her old cat pushed Tifa into the pulsating light blue smiley face tier. Everyone else remains in the dark blue smiley face tier.

I now plan to push through the main story. I'm hopefully that I should be good to go.

I'm now in Chapter 12 and have a quick question…

Spoiler

I've just got off the boat and have been told a bunch of side quests have unlocked. I saved it, then fast travelled to The Gold Saucer where fast travelling is now restricted.

I trust that I'll have the opportunity to do all these new quests after I've done the 'date stuff' in Chapter 12? If not, I might have to give them a miss, as everyone's affinity is delicately balanced!

Hmm with PS5 saves no it's impossible I think...
It was possible with PS4 but you need PS5 saves anyway in order to get the summons.
The only thing you can do it is purchase Integrade on PS5 and just create a save.
I don't think you need to finish the game or the DLC in order to get the summons, just have a a save file present on your console.

Thanks appreciate the info. I think I got a bit heated in the moment as well. I don't think it was truly terrible, just a lot more challenging than I was expecting going in. Feel if the time limit was a bit more generous I think I would have had more fun with it.

What's the best way to cheese it?
