With the gates to the world outside of Midgar at, well, gates, it’s only natural that you’d want to get to day one of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth as ready as possible to face its pitfalls: and this is where, as often happens, ours take over tricks or, to put it more realistically, i advice more adequate. The game blends quick reaction times and well-thought-out strategies. And if it’s been a while since you’ve touched the previous episode, i.e. the Remake, the guide will help you manage what for many could be the first modern experience with Cloud Strife and company. The combat system can be frenetic, and is undoubtedly stratified: let’s review the elements as they appeared in the demo, before the fateful February 29 (Tomorrow).
General flow of combat | Cheats and tips for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Before talking about tricks or tips, let’s see how the fights take place in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The aim is to attack, e.g press every enemy that appears before us with the conditions of Tension and Extremity, while managing the various ritual statuses at the same time. In these phases, enemies are vulnerable to hits and the extra damage they inflict, during the offensive in which we will lead our characters. Attach with □ or △and in doing so we load the barra ATB with which to launch the most powerful individual moves. The latter, in turn, fill theSynergy indicator for combined attacks between the various companions, while Tension and Extremity fill the Limit bar for even more devastating personal attacks. Chaining attacks requires consistency and habit, but it will give you satisfaction.
ATB (Active Time Battle): a combat system to be properly clarified | Cheats and tips for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Battles occur in real time, allowing you to move freely during battle and strike with □ or with △ to corroborate individual skills. For example, Cloud toggles between multiple “Set up” (fighting styles) with △, while R1 blocks other people’s blows. Landing them fills your ATB gauge once. These “charges” can be used to exploit aATB skill (often a special attack), use a spell or consume an instrument. Some powerful abilities use two of the aforementioned charges. In other words, therefore, you will have to play on the variety of your shots: attack, accumulate, fill the bar, hit with the ritual powerful move, repeat.
Synergistic Abilities: An Explanation | Cheats and tips for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
By fighting alongside a fellow soldier, you will be able to activate the Synergistic abilities holding down R1 in combo with the designated key or, to control the aforementioned ready-to-use abilities, with the touchpad. In addition to hitting really hard or defending well depending on the case, Synergy Skills fill two characters’ ATB gauges at once. Normal moves can do this too, but with Skills it takes less time. The latter have their own separate bar below the ATB one, divided into five columns. Using certain ATB abilities will fill it, as you’ll see in the bottom left corner. If two characters have reached sufficient charge, their Synergistic Ability will not cost you anything.
Tension, Stremo and a tip on individual skills | Cheats and tips for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Hitting enemies’ weak points (obtainable with Materia Analyses obtainable in the chapter dedicated to Nibelheim) will put them under pressure with status Voltage. This will fill their Stremo bar: if you did things right, the enemy will indeed hesitate, unable to attack you and dominated by a damage multiplier. In this state, the enemy will then help you fill the Limit gauge. Although the bar also fills when your characters take damage. Finally, in the main menu, remember to check yours individual skills selecting a team member e by pressing △. By doing so you will have a list and description of all the skills of each character.
Keep an eye on an enemy as soon as you start fighting | Cheats and tips for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

You will have to press R3 as soon as the fight begins. Pressing □ in case of red crosshairsinstead, you can hit the enemy with an effective Early attack.
Quick Exchange | Cheats and tips for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
To get the most out of the combat system you will have to change character frequentlyespecially if you have activated an ATB ability (as spectacular as it is to look at). By doing so, you will quickly fill his ATB gauge. To give an example with the Nibelheim chapter in the demo, with a charge you can immediately activate Bold Strike on Cloud, then immediately switch to Sephiroth and attack with □ to start filling his bar. Once filled, select the skill and immediately return to Cloud. The continuous exchange It’s great for keeping an enemy busy while ensuring you always have the best attacks available. In case of multiple abilities, activate the first one, switch characters and give an order to the previous one with L2/R2 to use the other charge. Also use the digital cross to change characters: the vertical list in the right corner is best suited.
Use Analysis on every enemy | Cheats and tips for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
We didn’t talk about the Nibelheim chapter by chance: this is where Cloud will get the Materia Analyses. In addition to providing lore about the enemies scanned with it, it above all allows you to steal useful information to induce them to Tension and/or Extremityas well as the rewards to expect after defeating them. Not to mention the essential statistics such as weaknesses and resistances. Each Analysis screen acts as a mini-guide to defeating an enemy. Once this is done, you can reread the screen at any time by touching the touchpad. There’s nothing to be done: the bestiary also returns in disguise in every Square-Enix creation, and as always, it often happens that it comes back… useful. Ahem.

Return Aerith to the Magic Telecircle with △ | Cheats and tips for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
We were talking about magic, but if there is a character with the right skills in this regard, it is Aerith. In the demo he has access to two Magic Telecircles, or skills that enhance their abilities in a certain area. With Blessed Circle can use two spells together, while Luminous Circle makes it invincible by casting spells that boost its main attack. Additionally, the Telecircles allow her to dodge better while she is inside them. If she abandons them, you can send it back by pressing △. He can also dodge attacks with the same move, but the timing to do so improves over time. You will have to go by trial and error.
Flying enemies, what a passion!
