Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: How To Unlock Mecha-Chocobo | Secret Chocobo Guide

Square Enix’s second and final paid DLC for Final Fantasy 16, The Rising Tide, is out on April 18th. It adds a new region, Mysidia, and Leviathan as a new Eikon for players to battle and gain new abilities. Speaking to Famitsu, DLC director Takeo Kujiraoka confirmed that there would be about ten new side quests, with some utilizing Chocobos.

Chocobo Races have been completely revamped in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth — instead of giving you almost no control over your chocobo, you’re now directly in the driver’s seat. Chocobo Racing has more in common with Mario Kart 8 than the original game. There are three levels of race tracks you’ll unlock, and the final stage is a grueling series you’ll need to finish in one sitting. The reigning champion won’t go down without a fight, and we’ve got a few tips to help you crush this ridiculously challenging quest. Leveling up won’t help you here. All you can do is get good at Chocobo Racing.

We’ll say this up front for those of you still exploring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s vast world: there are no late-game story spoilers here. As seen in its pre-release debut via a new trailer late last year, the action RPG’s theme song “No Promises to Keep” is performed in-game by Aerith. Behind the scenes though, the track was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, the legendary composer behind the iconic soundtracks for much of the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy VII Remake. The song’s vocals were performed by American singer Loren Allred, who brought her spellbinding singing voice to the track, augmenting the beautiful—yet tragic—world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the epic story told within it.

There’s plenty of EXP to go around in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Just by playing the game normally and completely all the side content, you’ll level up to what you need to be to overcome almost every challenge. There’s on major exception to that rule though, and if you’re eager to beat the biggest challenge in the game after the credits roll, you’ll need to gain about twenty levels total. That’s a lot of grinding — but there are ways to make all that grinding a lot easier. Here’s what you need to do to reach max level a whole lot faster.

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.

Summons are powerful allies you’ll unlock as early as Chapter 2 in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. When a battle drags on long enough, a Summon Meter will appear and count down to the moment you can bring a big bad Summon to join the battle. Every character has one Summon Materia slot – and summons enhance your stats when equipped.

The ultimate challenge in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is Gilgamesh — the mysterious being from another world menaces Cloud and company throughout the game if you tackle the many Protorelic quests. Finishing those quests unlocks the hidden Gilgamesh Island where you’ll face off against some of the toughest battles in the entire game. I recommend waiting until you’ve finished the story before even thinking about taking on the bosses on Gilgamesh Island.

How do you win the prize for outstanding performance in the Junon Parade in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

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.

It's 29th February, 2024, and for many people, that only means one thing: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The PS5 RPG is out now on PS5, and hype is understandably through the roof. It's so big, in fact, that even Google is getting in on the action.

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.
