Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: How To Win The Parade Contest | Stealing The Show Trophy Guide

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.

In the days that followed after the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, some of the staff at Square Enix talked about the challenges that went into creating a massive project that could live up to players' expectations. Despite Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth releasing nearly four years after Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the developers expressed the concerns they had about putting it together.

A series constant, Final Fantasy's Moogle is a familiar sight to many, and along with the Chocobo, serves as a mascot of sorts for the franchise. But the busted-looking Moogle we got in the recently released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been rejected by a particular segment of the community, who are convinced the gritty redesign looks more like Matthew McConaughey playing a drug mule named Miguel than a fantastical portmanteau of mole and bat.

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 fastest racer in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the incredible Mecha-Chocobo. All other Chocobos are unlocked by capturing the matching type in each of the six regions. But the Mecha-Chocobo is special. The Mecha-Chocobo is so special you can’t actually equip any gear when racing at the Gold Saucer. Instead, the Mecha-Chocobo has a set of stats that can’t be changed or altered. No reason to customize, because the Mecha-Chocobo is the best racer in the game.

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?

As part of our Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth guide, we're going to reveal how to win the prize for outstanding performance in the Junon Parade. Doing so unlocks the Stealing the Show Trophy.

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.
