I initially set out to complete every aspect of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but soon realized that focusing solely on completionism was a mistake.
The expansive world of Rebirth offers a plethora of activities and side quests, providing a refreshing change from the confines of Midgar. While the open-world elements are engaging, I underestimated how easily one could burn out from trying to do it all.
For those like me who tend to strive for 100% completion in games, a word of caution – it’s alright to stick to the main story and take breaks from the open-world distractions. Balancing exploration with the critical path can enhance your overall experience and prevent exhaustion.

Exploring the six open-world areas in Rebirth reveals a loop of activities and quests, each offering its own unique rewards. While many of these tasks are enjoyable, dedicating too much time to them can disrupt the flow of the narrative and delay story progression significantly.
While side quests and minigames like Queen’s Blood are worthwhile diversions, not all activities contribute meaningfully to the overall experience of the game. Some tasks, while easy to complete, may lead to unintended over-leveling and disrupt the game’s difficulty curve.
Strategizing team composition, Materia loadouts, and equipment for boss battles in Rebirth adds depth and challenge to the gameplay. Skipping these strategic elements to focus solely on completing tasks may result in missing out on the game’s intricacies and tactical aspects.
