Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - Game Difficulty Guide

Game Difficulty Guide for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth)

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth) features four difficulty modes, three of which are selectable on a New Game (NG) playthrough while one is unlocked by beating the game for the first time.

Types of Difficulty Modes

*Unlocked after beating the game for the first time.

New Dynamic Difficulty

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth introduces Dynamic difficulty mode which uses the player’s skill to determine the level of enemies encountered throughout the game’s story chapters.

The new Dynamic setting is intended to provide players with adaptive difficulty that changes between battles. Players who are constantly looking for a good challenge even before Hard difficulty becomes available can choose to start their first playthrough on this mode.

Hard Difficulty (Post-Game)

Hard difficulty returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth as a post-game mode for players seeking the ultimate challenge. While yet to be confirmed, Hard mode is expected to retain most of the mechanics from Final Fantasy 7 Remake which are listed below.

• High-level enemies appear even at the start of the game.
• EXP and AP obtained in battle is greatly increased.
• Items cannot be used throughout the game (in and out of battle).
• Resting at a bench or inn does not restore MP.
• New Chadley Combat Simulator challenges that reward rare items become accessible.
