The Shinra Manor contains a locked vault in . Finding the hidden password will unlock the door and reveal its secrets. This is a mandatory main story quest that needs to be completed to progress the narrative.
This mission is a major story change from the original 1997 game that reworks Vincent Valentine’s recruitment quest. It focuses more on Vincent’s past tormentor, Professor Hojo, than the next party member. Still, you will fight a returning boss that behaves similarly to its previous incarnation.
Upon reaching the town of Nibelheim in Chapter 11, the team will split up. Cloud, Tifa, and Yuffie will wander off on their own separate adventure; Red XIII will also eventually track them down. Recent new team recruits Cait Sith will take Aerith and Barret into his own squad. Be sure to equip all three of the latter with appropriate level weapons, armor, and materia.
Cait Sith plays a little bit differently than the main hero of, Cloud Strife. Due to his small size he is able to fit into small passages like air ducts. Also, his giant stuffed moogle can easily move objects and pull switches too heavy for Cait.
Very often, Cait Sith will have to split off to open up the main doors for the larger Aerith and Barret. You will still need to engage in some solo combat. Be sure to use plenty of healing or retreat if you suffer too much damage.
Once regrouping as a whole team of three, you will find several palettes with cargo crates sitting on top of them. If you are currently using Barret or Aerith, switch back to Cait Sith as the controllable character. Pull all the crates back, and they will reveal a sequence of numbers from left to right:
Nearby the written combination will be a computer terminal. Put in the exact sequence of numbers and the vault will unlock. Upon entering, an ominous hologram of Hojo will be displayed. This will then release a ferocious boss, the Forgotten Specimen.
The Forgotten Specimen is a variant of the Lost Number boss from the original . Just like its former self, it is a two-tone monster that switches between physical and magical modes. It is best to equip an Assess Materia, which is a great hidden feature to make fights easier in . By assessing throughout the fight, you will have a clear idea of the Forgotten Specimen’s current attacks and weaknesses.
When Forgotten Specimen becomes fully blue, it will prioritize melee attacks. Try to keep at range with Barret to avoid unnecessary damage. However, it can use “Overhead Smash” to leap on top of a single ally. It briefly telegraphs most of its moves, giving you a few seconds to move out of the way.
Forgotten Specimen can also become a red mash of tentacles, and focuses on thunder magic. Try to stay up close with Cait Sith, but

All the party members in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth can ride chocobos, and that includes Red XIII despite his leonine appearance. The pose he adopts on chocoback is pretty ridiculous, and nobody was more surprised than the game's animators that creative director Tetsuya Nomura gave it the stamp of approval.
Square Enix has released a four-party documentary series for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth titled “Inside Final Fantasy VII Rebirth,” which uncovers the stories behind the making of the RPG through the eyes of the development team.
Of all the new content introduced in , Queen's Blood is one of the most complex; learning this card game can be tricky, and building the best deck for it is even trickier. While the cards you pick should depend on your strategy, a few cards stand out as especially helpful when used correctly.
Although isn't a particularly choice-oriented RPG on the whole, the game has its fair share of moments that present Cloud with a decision. One that seems like it could be big lies in deciding which party members to help in Costa del Sol, a junction point that comes up without much warning. The beach location starts out as a relaxing getaway, but par for the course, it doesn't take too long for things to go south.
A new Final Fantasy VII Rebirth patch has gone live today, introducing graphics improvements and bug fixes. Unfortunately, the patch fails to address the game's most critical visual issues.
Square Enix has released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth update v.1.020, introducing various improvements including performance options, graphics enhancements, frame rate adjustments, and more. Additionally, the update includes numerous bug fixes and functional enhancements aimed at refining the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gameplay experience.
Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has garnered plenty of acclaim but also faced criticism for its visual quality, particularly in Performance Mode. While it received a patch before launch, a new update is live, offering even more improvements.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth contains a cheeky reference to a debug enemy that was accidentally left in the Japanese release of Final Fantasy 7 on the PS1.
The best support character for your party is undoubtedly Aerith in , but this kind soul can fiercely protect her friends if you find her best staff weapons. Aerith excels at long-range combat, casting spells that can buff her allies or debuff enemies. Many skills learned from new weapons found in story Chapters also deal plenty of damage, allowing Aerith to fight on her own.
Magic Materia in are green orbs that allow characters to cast spells, but the best of these items to get first have stronger magic than you might expect. Unlike purple Independent Materia or red Summon Materia, Magic Materia are simple to use. Instead of giving party members new abilities or stat increases, you gain spells that cost MP to cast during a fight.
Shortly before launch, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi confused many fans of the series by explaining that the development team made two versions of each side quest all because of Red XIII. We didn't know why at the time, as we weren't aware of the voice change that Red XIII goes through a little ways into the game itself, first hinted at in Under Junon and then again in Costa del Sol.
