Jenova makes a big splash on the Shinra-8 cruise ship in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The short boat sequence from the original FF7 gets a total overhaul and an impressive new boss. Down below you’ll battle mutated robed men before facing off against Jenova herself. This monstrous reincarnation is the stuff of nightmares, but don’t let her frightening appearance freak you out. This Jenova can be beaten — and here’s a few tips to help you overcome the odds.
The enormous Jenova Emergent begins the fight unable to move and hanging from the ceiling of her arena. She has no weaknesses, but physical damage works well against her. Dealing enough damage will pressure her and make her head become a target. Target the head with powerful attacks like Braver to shatter it quickly.
Defeating the head will almost completely fill her stagger meter. To deal more damage, use Unbridled Strength twice with Tifa before staggering the boss. Once she is staggered, use both charged combo finishers with [Triangle] to increase the damage bonus. You can push the stagger bonus to +200% damage or more with Tifa.
Once Jenova recovers from stagger, she’ll rip herself free and begin Phase 2. Now she walks around, unleashing magic attacks and physically attacking with her new appendages. She unleashes deadly gas to fill the area around her and swings her whip-like tentacles.
Barret is very useful in this fight. Use Bonus Round to deal extra Stagger damage, then attack with Focus Shot or Maximum Fury. Like the first phase, Phase 2 is pressured after dealing enough damage. When she is pressured, her Head and Left Shoulder can be targeted. This time, they’re more difficult to cripple without long-range attacks. Barret makes taking out the extra parts easier.

In Chapter 4 of , pursuing Expedition Intels in Junon can lead your party to face the Mindflayer, a powerful optional boss you can beat for rare rewards. This terrifying creature uses psychic attacks and magic to rival your characters with no clear weaknesses. Without the right team and items, it can be very difficult to take down this squid-faced threat during your adventure.
In the world of video game soundtracks, you can’t get much more iconic than Nobuo Uematsu. Most well-known for composing soundtracks for the first nine Final Fantasy games, the musician has gone on to write tracks for many subsequent entries to the franchise, most recently penning the tearjerking theme song for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, No Promises to Keep.
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.
Intimidating Legendary Fiends haunt every region in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth – and these optional bosses aren’t going down without a fight. There are six regions to explore in Rebirth, and by completing Region Intel you’ll eventually unlock the location of a Legendary Fiend. Each fiend is a boss in its own right and defeating them is a chore that’s well worth completing.
Bringing the once-doomed MMO Final Fantasy XIV back to life and directing the latest mainline title of the long-running franchise isn’t enough for Square Enix superstar Naoki Yoshida. In a new interview with Famitsu, Yoshida chatted at length about his desire to direct yet another major game for Square Enix.
The Final Fantasy VII Remake project trilogy will be console-exclusive to PlayStation, according to Sony Interactive Entertainment vice president of second- and third-party content ventures and strategic initiatives Christian Svensson.
We’re almost at the end of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The Temple of the Ancients is packed with boss fights, and the Chapter 13 bosses are some of the toughest in the game. We’re at the penultimate chapter, so you’ll want to fully prepare your entire party for action — you’ll want to stock up on Mist Potions, Phoenix Downs and unlock those Level 3 Limit Breaks. Some classic bosses return this time around, and you’ll have to take on all the Turks with characters you might not be using as often. Make sure to outfit all six characters before venturing forth and check out each section below for more boss guides.
Despite only just getting the eagerly-anticipated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth out the door, Square Enix is already hard at work on the conclusion of the Remake trilogy. And while we wouldn't expect to hear anything substantial for a few years yet, we're already anticipating what comes next, and it seems we aren't alone in these.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been a huge success and is 2024’s highest-rated game on Metacritic at the time of writing. However, despite the praise there is one part of the game that needs a little tweak as players have noted that in Performance mode the lighting may be a little off.
Players have been gushing about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since its launch last week, and there’s a good reason for that: the game is incredible by all meaningful accounts. Just as important, the title expanded upon the game’s lore, world, and more to ensure that gamers had the best experience within it. Remember, the original “remake” title was set entirely within Midgar, with the team at Avalanche only getting out of the city after a clash with Sephiroth. However, while the Square Enix team did make the world vast, they ensured that there was still plenty to explore within the next entry, which will finish the story.
