Gamers making an attempt to finish every thing in Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth are working right into a roadblock on the very finish of the sport after the current 1.020 patch broke one of many final facet quests. And till it’s patched by Sq. Enix, solely those that personal the sport bodily can full the search, get the trophy related to it, and unlock the elusive platinum trophy for getting each different achievement within the sport.
Let me let you know the story of a foolish, dumb man who determined to decide to doing each sidequest and exercise in Rebirth, Sq. Enix’s newest installment in its FF7 remake trilogy that launched solely on PS5 on February 29. This man, who could be very busy making an attempt to play different video games for his job and who doesn’t have as a lot free time as he did when he was youthful, determined that he was going to play FF7 Rebirth solely as soon as. This idiot has spent almost each night time for the previous three weeks chipping away at this big sport. Then, in the long run, with just one facet quest left to finish earlier than he pushed on to the finale, he found that it was inconceivable to complete the final facet exercise as a result of it was damaged. That dumb man is me. And the ache I felt at that second was immense. Sadly, I’m not alone.
Whereas I’m simply discovering this case, it’s been an issue for gamers since March 20, when Sq. Enix launched patch 1.020 for FF7 Rebirth. It appears this patch broke the “Can’t Cease, Received’t Cease” side-quest in a single explicit approach. At one level within the quest, it’s a must to beat the last word celebration animal’s excessive rating on the G-Bike arcade simulator. Nevertheless, strive as you may, the sport received’t acknowledge your rating, making it inconceivable to complete the search and due to this fact inconceivable to finish all of the trophies, thus locking you out of the platinum trophy.
You could find gamers warning others to not obtain the patch as early as March 22. Sadly, I feel most people are avoiding on-line discussions of the sport to keep away from spoilers, and haven’t seen the warnings. Checking Reddit, I’ve discovered a whole bunch of gamers throughout varied threads and websites complaining that the quest is damaged after which discovering that it’s glitched for everybody.
“Simply occurred to me too, Actually the very last thing I’ve to do within the sport earlier than I full my first playthrough. So annoying,” stated one consumer.
“Dang I acquired tremendous fortunate. Beat this quest the day earlier than the patch. Hopefully, it comes quickly for you guys,” stated one other individual.
How you can full FF7 Rebirth’s Can’t Cease, Received’t Cease quest
Studying by means of replies, there does appear to be a small probability that post-update you may nonetheless full the search, but it surely’s unclear if these gamers may not have up to date the sport to the model that breaks Can’t Cease, Received’t Cease. Regardless, there’s a repair, however provided that you personal the disc model of FF7 Rebirth.
All it’s worthwhile to do is uninstall Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth, disconnect your PS5 from the web, and reinstall the sport and the search through an earlier save. Ensure you don’t load up a save the place you’ve already encountered the bug as that received’t allow you to progress. You must load up a save from earlier than you performed the G-Bike sim and acquired a excessive rating.
Gamers have reported that this methodology is a viable, if a bit annoying, workaround that can allow you to full the ultimate side-quest within the sport. After you have the search accomplished, try to be secure to reconnect the console and replace the sport.
For digital homeowners, like myself, there doesn’t appear to be an actual resolution past ready for Sq. Enix to hopefully patch Rebirth to repair this bug. Kotaku contacted Sq. Enix and can replace this submit if we hear again. Within the meantime, I’ll simply end the sport figuring out that I’d have performed every thing, however a rattling bug on the very finish ruined my plan.
