Take an extended trip through the Corel Mountains with two big bosses in Chapter 7. In this section, we’re taking on the Custom Valkyrie and the Gigatrice — the Custom Valkyrie similar to a boss encountered late in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The flying drone spews flames all over the arena, before cooling off to recharge. When it’s cooling, that’s your best shot to really damage this monster. The Gigatrice is even more complicated — the monster summons tornadoes that can be imbued with elemental magic. Hit those tornadoes with fire, thunder, blizzard or aera to transform them into swirling damage-dealing weapons. Lure Gigatrice into its own tornado to knock it out of the sky. Learn more about each boss with the full guide below.
For this battle, you’ll be locked to Cloud, Aerith and Red XIII. Prepare by equipping Thunder Materia and setting your Synergy Abilities so Cloud, Aerith and Red XIII can work together. Using Synergies can help greatly in the fight. The right Synergies can give your party infinite MP for a short period. Very useful here.
As the weaknesses suggest, the Custom Valkyrie can be pressured while it is using Cooling Protocol. Use Thundara while it is cooling to pressure. Alternatively, you can use Firebolt Blade but this is less likely to knock the Valkyrie into a pressured state.
While it’s cooling, use multiple hits of Thunder and Aero to pressure it. Even outside of cooling, you can pressure it by exploiting elemental weaknesses. This is a slow boss fight that can take some time. Don’t forget to set and use those Synergy abilities. They’ll speed up this fight considerably.
Yuffie, Barret and Tifa join forces to fight the Gigatrice. This huge bird has one annoying gimmick that’s tough to explain. Equip everyone with different elemental Materia. You’ll also want to unlock Yuffie’s Elemental Ninjutsu ability. This one is very important.
The Gigatrice circles the skies. Activate Yuffie’s Fire Ninjutsu and throw your star at Gigatrice. When it is flying high, you’ll deal bonus pressure damage — it can be staggered relatively easily in this stage of the fight.
In Phase 2, the Gigatrice will summon massive tornadoes. The only way to pressure Gigatrice at this point is to target the tornadoes with Elemental Materia. It doesn’t matter what kind. Use Fire, Thunder, Blizzard or Aero on the different tornadoes that appear. Because you don’t need to deal high damage, even weak or free elemental abilities can be used here.
Once a tornado has been hit with elemental damage, it will mimic the element — any element will pressure Gigatrice. The more tornados you imbue with elemental damage, the more likely Gigatrice will fly into it and crash into the ground. This gimmick can be a little tricky

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.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fans are confused about why most of the Loveless outfits from the Gold Saucer section of the game aren't available as unlockable outfits.
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.
The final boss of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a doozy. There’s a series of Chapter 14 bosses waiting for you at the end of the story, and they get increasingly difficult — it can take upwards of an hour or more to fight them all, and some phases of the boss can wipe your party in an instant. We’ve got video and a whole lot of text to help you beat the biggest bosses of the game. Here’s how to take on Jenova and the many, many forms of Sephiroth.
As many people have said on dating profiles (or mothers on their wall art), I love a video game that makes me laugh, and I am delighted Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been so goddamn good at it.
Chadly has a lot of tasks lined up for you in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Now that the world is far more open and explorable, you’ll have a ton of extra activities to take if you wish, but the first few are a bit more required. Aside from the usual tower climbing and item gathering, one task is to fight specific enemies with a series of requirements. The first one, which asks you to pressure a Thunderclaw, is more troublesome than it should be, even if you understand the system. Not to worry, because we’ve used the Assess skill to gather all the data on this foe to make pressuring it a breeze.
How do you win the Queen's Blood tournament on Shinra-8 in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth? The RPG's very own card game that's brand new to the PS5 remake, you can create your own deck, collect new cards, and win a tournament aboard a prestige cruise ship in the first half of the game. As part of our Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth guide, we're going to reveal how to win the Queen's Blood tournament on Shinra-8. Doing so unlocks the Card Royalty Trophy.
One of the most memorable moments from the original Final Fantasy 7 is the date scene at the Gold Saucer. There was no way that Square Enix would leave that part out of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. In the original, it was almost an Easter egg of sorts to learn that you could end up going on a date with almost every member of the cast, not just Aerith. That’s because the relationship system was hidden and almost impossible to manipulate without a guide. Thankfully, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth makes things much clearer with the new bonds system that shows you just how strong your relationship with each character is. That plays directly into who you end up sharing a touching moment with near the end of the game.
The toughest bosses in the game so far appear in Chapter 9 — both Specimen H1024 and Crimson Mare Mk. 2 can wipe your party if you don’t target their weaknesses. You’re stuck using specific characters for both boss fights, so don’t rely on your usual strategies. You’ll need to change things up and reset your Materia for the best chance at survival. Bring Ice Materia for the first fight and Fire Materia for use against Scarlet herself. The Specimen will slowly absorb more Mako until it unleashes a killer attack that hits your entire party — there’s no dodging this, you’ll just have to suppress it by dealing high damage while it attempts to absorb. Interrupting it is your only option. The Crimson Mare has a similar mechanic. If you don’t destroy both arms of the mech (before one is repaired) then she’ll continue to hammer you with deadly attacks. Try dealing damage to both equally before quickly crippling. And that’s just scratching the surface of these encounters. Learn more about each boss in the full guide below.
