Matthew Mercer, the prolific voice actor who played Vincent Valentine in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, recently discussed how he first found out who he would be voicing and how much it took him by surprise. While Vincent Valentine was an optional, missable party member in the original Final Fantasy 7, he played a major role in the backstory and larger expanded universe of the original game, quickly becoming a fan favorite that gamers couldn’t wait to see again in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: How To Win The Gold Cup | Hall of Famer Trophy

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.
Grade 3 races are the first Chocobo Races you can join — they’ll unlock on your first visit to the Gold Saucer. Later, you’ll return to the Gold Saucer in Chapter 12. If you finish Grade 3 races, you’ll unlock Grade 2 races. But completing Grade 2 races doesn’t seem to unlock Grade 1. There’s a reason for that.
Talking to Billy begins the ‘Gold Cup or Bust‘ quest in the Corel Region. In this quest, Billy wants you to win the Gold Cup. That means you need to defeat the Champion in the Grade 1 race circuit.
For the purposes of the quest, you will need to get 1st place in two out of three races. The Champion almost always wins the first race, so you’ll need to place 2nd, then 1st and 1st again to walk away with the Gold Cup.
The Gold Cup can be repeated for big rewards — getting first place will always net you x200 GP, even for repeated runs. The full race takes 15 minutes or more to complete. Luckily, you don’t have to be totally perfect to win. Here’s a quick overview of the rewards.
The Gold Saucer’s biggest competition requires you to do well three times in a row — complete all the Grade 2 races and unlock all three pieces of the Hyperion Set. The Hyperion Set is especially good when used with the Yellow (Normal) Chocobo. The Chocobo’s boost ability is enhanced by the Hyperion Set. You’ll boost longer.
For these races, focus on collecting x10 blue balloons to reach max speed. After that, go for yellow and red balloons to build your boost. I recommend using the yellow Chocobo for the speed boost. There isn’t much water and the standard Chocobo can fly long enough to give you an edge.
Race 1: This is a tough race. The opening-closing doors are incredibly annoying. Don’t worry too much if the Champion is far ahead of you. You only need to get 2nd place in this race. The Champion is really tough to beat here. As long as you earn 2nd place, continue the race. If you get third or fourth, reset and try again.
Race 2: For this race, we need to reach 1st place. The Champion is fast but much easier to catch up to. Build up speed, score that boost at the start of the race, and don’t play too recklessly. You can avoid most of
