Square Enix announced that the next patch for FFVII Rebirth will fix a bug that impedes completion of the “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” Side Quest in Chapter 12. The bug first appeared within the version 1.020 patch, which released on March 21, 2024.
Square Enix hasn’t specified when it will release the next FFVII Rebirth patch, and the company apologized for the inconveniences caused. The part of the quest that players are unable to complete is the G-Bike section of the Ultimate Party Animal challenge. Many players online have reported that, after achieving the required high score in this section, the game won’t acknowledge it. It instead prompts players to repeat the G-Bike section again, regardless of the results.
As completion for this Side Quest is required for one of the trophies in the game, this also means that the Platinum Trophy for FFVII Rebirth is currently inaccessible for those playing the digital version of the game who didn’t already earn it ahead of the patch. Owners of the physical edition have resorted to downgrading to the default unpatched version of the game, loading a save file made before the version 1.020 patch rolled out, and completing the challenge.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is immediately available for the PlayStation 5. The console exclusivity arrangement will end on May 29, 2024.
