The long-awaited fix for a frustrating issue in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is here, and fans can finally relax

Game news That's it, the developers of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth have finally corrected this problem: players will no longer need to pull their hair out!

FFVII Rebirth, a critical success certainly, but popular?

Surely one of the most anticipated releases at the start of 2024, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been available since February 29 exclusively on PlayStation 5. Second part of the FF7 revival project, the title is the sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake and leads us to discover the continuation of the adventures of Cloud and his friends in pursuit of Sephiroth.

If the project won over critics with a score of 92 on Metacritic, difficult to know if this translated from a financial point of view for the publisher since Square Enix has not yet revealed real sales figures. Instead, we only know that FFVII Rebirth is the second best-selling PS5 exclusive in Japan, only surpassed… by Final Fantasy XVI. In any case, the title seems to have delighted the players, even if Square Enix's production frustrated more than one because of a very specific point that has now been resolved.

A subtle change for clarity

To explain to you what was corrected by Square Enix developers, we need to put things in context. In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, When you lose the game during a boss fight, the game offers you different options : return to the start of the current phase, return to the start of the combat or even return before the combat. Several choices which therefore allow you to come back at various times to be sure to suit everyone. The problem is that until now, this wasn't explained well by the game because of the way it was said. Thus, we had to choose between returning to the start of the current fight or to the start of the fight itself, which disturbed more than one person. Fortunately, all this has been corrected.

As you can see in this Reddit post, the Square Enix teams changed the wording to make everything clearer. From now on, the first choice suggests returning to the start of the current phase and the second to the start of the fight, which clearly shows the difference between the two. So, this becomes much more practical for the final fight, which we won't spoil for you, but which includes several different phases. Enough to enjoy the game in better conditions in the future.
