Vincent Valentine
Vincent is an optional character that can be unlocked through a side quest in Nibelheim. To find him, you need to explore the Shinra Mansion thoroughly. The key task involves unlocking a safe in the left upstairs room and defeating an optional boss [2:1]
[2:2]. This process requires solving a puzzle or combination lock, which some players find challenging due to the timing involved
[1:1]. Once you complete this quest, Vincent will join your party.
Yuffie Kisaragi
Yuffie is another optional character who can be encountered in any forest area in the game, with the first opportunity being just outside of Junon [2:1]. After defeating her in battle, you must choose the correct dialogue options to recruit her. It's important not to use the save point after the battle, as it can prevent you from recruiting her
[2:6].
Cait Sith
Unlike Vincent and Yuffie, Cait Sith is acquired through normal story progression. You will automatically get Cait Sith when you reach the Gold Saucer [2:1]
[2:2]. While Cait Sith is not a secret character, some players are curious about his effectiveness in battle. His second limit break, Slots, can be powerful depending on luck
[2:9].
Character Effectiveness
Players have mixed opinions about the usefulness of these characters. Vincent has a good magic stat and long-range weapons, making him suitable for certain strategies [2:5]. However, his limit breaks can be less tactical since he cannot be controlled during them
[2:11]. Cait Sith's abilities are considered fun but not always reliable
[2:12]. Ultimately, you can main any character and still succeed in the game
[2:7].
These insights should help you unlock and utilize the secret characters effectively in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
So, I already know the password to the vault that gives access to Odin and Vincent, it's just the bloody timing, does anyone else find this secret part hell? Upvote if yes, please comment advice if you are an expert!
What timing?
You get 10 seconds to put in 4 numbers on a combination lock.
I'm pretty sure it was 20 seconds, just saying
You don’t have to land perfectly on each number. I thought this during my most recent play through, and thought it was impossible.
You just stop a few short of the number you want, and then advance to it 1 by 1, and then press the confirm button on the number. Then just do the same thing for the other numbers.
Cait Sith and Vincent Valetine?
Also are these characters any good? i was thinking about playing these 2 primarily for my mains
Cait Sith you get as part of normal story progression when you get to Gold Saucer
Vincent you get from an optional side quest in Nibelheim involving unlocking a safe in the left upstairs room and fighting an optional boss. Don’t want to say too much because you should try it out yourself but just make sure to save before lol.
Don't worry about if you fail getting yuffie. You can keep encountering her in the forrest and try again; there's no way to permanently miss her.
So you know the answer, and could have answered the question, but instead chose to alienate a new player of a game we all enjoy? We’re video game nerds dude stop trying to act like a cool kid.
Keep your questions about Final Fantasy VII out of our Final Fantasy VII sub thank you very much!
Vincent has a good magic stat so I usually use him for that purpose which is great because all his weapons are already long range. Cait Sith I’ve never really used despite playing the game an excessive number of times even though he’s featured prominently in the Brady strategy guide lol. I don’t prefer either of their limit breaks though. But definitely try them out you can always rearrange your party!
In addition to not using the save point, you also have to choose the correct responses during the conversation after the battle. I can't remember them off the top of my head, but a quick Google search will provide you with the right ones
You can main anyone an get the job done on this game.
I’m aware…I should should not..Vincent’s limit isn’t really useful tactically speaking. He can’t be controlled.
Cait Sith's 2nd Limit, Slots, is powerful or weak, depending on luck. It's fun as hell and I love it
You only get Vincent for his back story which is interesting and sad. Cait is…..just there
They have the worst limit breaks and dialogue in the game. I wouldn’t main those 2 ever
Cait Sith is part of normal progression. You'll get him once you get to Gold Saucer.
Vincent is optional, and can be found in the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim. Search high and low, be thorough, and you'll find him. (Hint: do the sidequest to open the safe).
Yuffie and Vincent are the two optional characters. Yuffie can be obtained from any forest in the game, first one being just outside of Junon. Defeat her when you encounter her, give the correct responses (DON'T USE THE SAVE POINT AFTER THE BATTLE, IT'S A TRAP), and she'll join the party.
What Easter eggs and secrets did you find that hints did you find
Like cloud having Zach’s mannerism in the flashback sequence or how the real cloud was portrayed
When Cloud opens up the door to Claudia's house and it explodes, she says, "Run away, Cloud. You have to leave... you have to live." That is the exact same line Sephiroth said in Remake to Cloud after the Bombing Mission during Cloud's PTSD induced panic attack. So Sephiroth saying that to Cloud is what triggers Cloud to call him a "Bastard" Sephiroth repeated Claudia's final words to Cloud.
Did he say anything else?
Dude, I'm rewatching it, and Cloud is even limping just like he does in the flashback in Rebirth! Literal chills! And the scene of him crawling after he opens the door and the fire blows him down!
Holyyy crap that is amazing, I never picked up on that lol and makes that scene in Remake soooo much better! - I didn't think I needed a replay but now I think I will have to at some point!
Bro when I saw that in the trailer I was like sephiroth is a fuckin savage
The food bowl for Tifa’s cat, who appears in Before Crisis and Traces of Two Pasts
I missed that! Dammit!
!They survive the destruction by being scooped up for the Jenova Project. They become clones for the Reunion.!<
Haha I noticed that in the first game it always cracks me up
The two kids behind the counter at the General Store.
IYKYK.
The grunt on the ground near Cloud's house starts to mutter "Mom" as you get closer.
I like that it says “mo…” which can be interpreted for monster, but we know is mom.
Has anyone done this yet? What buttons do I spam to start this?
What hidden game?
It's a puzzle minigame that you can unlock.
Did you ever get this to work? Broom says cancel and L2 but I can't get it to pop. I'm on the boat
X and O should work
Hold x and spam o. Worked for me. I couldve sworn it was the other way around tho but oh well
Try this: Press X and O at the same time
Thanks this worked even though broom gave different buttons lol
Do you need to be somewhere specific? It doesn’t work for me
Assuming it's like Origians or the 20th anniversary, it's pressing X and O together 55 or 22 times
Is it worth to find all the little secrets? Is there a guide just for finding items. I still want to figure out how to beat bosses on my own.
Buy the official strategy guide. Find out it contains no info on secrets. Sign up for a PlayOnline account.
If you want the full experience, this is the only way.
I'd use a guide for the Chocobo Hot and Cold items to save time. There's some really cool things there, and it's necessary for some side content. As for everything else, it's probably best experienced without spoilers with how the story unfolds, just save often.
This game is actually really easy. I beat this game when I was like 12 and didn’t even know how the equipments and abilities worked (which is major in this game). I replayed this game this year and didn’t use a guide and still beat it easily. Even if you miss all the secret items you can still get second best and beat the game easily.
Yea I did too when I was younger. in elementary school I think . But I have shit memory and forgot most of the story so I'm playing again. Just to make it a little easier if I get secret items
The only secret items that really matter are late game and they are mostly found in Memoria. Because on disc 4 you can go to black mage village and just buy really good equipment. Although I would say it is fun to have the characters best weapons and you do learn some skills/abilities that you can’t learn without them.
Helpful hint steal from everything, Especially bosses they drop really rare items that are useful.

Using this one right now, very good.
I've been playing through FFV and I'm really enjoying it, but I was also kinda sad that some cool jobs only unlock later in the game, so I have less time to use and experiment with them. Does anyone know of a rom hack that unlocks them all at the start? I'm playing the GBA version, but I can get the SNES or any other version if needed.
Not seen a rom hack for this. Likely the best way around it if you are using emulation is a game shark code/action replay code which most decent emulators support.
Have all Jobs
934DDAEA EF7E
974DFBEA 6F7F
That's the code for the plain most common rom. Depending on what rip you have might change the code required.
I had to find some different codes and a master code, but that'll do, thank you! I guess I should have thought of using cheat codes haha, but I've never owned a Gameshark so it never really occurred to me. I figured it out though, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!
Out of interest. What's your planned jobs doing this?
Well I've only thought of a few examples, but I think Summoner and Dancer can work well on the same character because they can both be somewhat comfortably used from the back row, and the Dancer can (sometimes) make up for the Summoner's high MP costs via Mystery Waltz, along with a nice pocket HP-restoring dance if needed.
Other than that, you have some more obvious ones, like Blue Mage and Beastmaster. You can use Control and force an enemy to target yourself, or whoever has the Learning ability.
Also, Mystic Knight and Berserker could be pretty good against enemies with the same elemental weakness. If you give the Berserk ability to a Mystic Knight, they could do some serious elemental damage.
Apart from those, the only other one I can think of would be Red Mage and Time Mage, for a very well-rounded caster.
I think, wth access to all of the jobs at the start, you have a lot more time to have fun playing with some of the cooler jobs that show up later, including jobs like Necromancer. What do you think? Any other good job combo ideas?
Dancer is insanely good against mobs. Not super with bosses but ok. The one that causes stop or paralyze works on most enemies. Actually that might be bard, dancer is ok though.
Music Knight and berserker won't work as you can't cast the elemental swords. You'll need a job which grants passive abilities to work with berserker. I can't think of much off the top of my head. Cover from Knight?
Red mage is good to use early, I often do that. Get that dual cast sooner. Time mage also.
Does anyone know of any secrets in final fantasy XV such as secret king swords (The swords you get that drain your health to use), secret armours, secret regalia upgrades,etc... I am on chapter 3
There's the Scraps of Mystery questline, which is kind of secret. The reward for completing it isn't that great, though.
Thanks a new quest to look forward too
There are a couple of out of the way dungeons with some unique rewards but most of them you can't get at ch3. I really wouldn't worry about it if your exploring properly in the story required areas. Nothing of real value is missable on the wider map beyond some minor cutscenes
Nice thanks!
To be honest, there are plenty, most of them are in dungeons or will be acquired through story progession, and there's also some stuff to do post-endgame.
Armor... well, not actually attires, but you can get some very cool accesories from Imperial machines and searching for treasures on the map.
About the Regalia, just speak to Cindy every time she has a quest for you, and sometimes check all the shop's categories to get stuff like new music, some unique items for the Regalia, Ignis' cuisine and more.
To be honest, I won't look online until finishing the story, you can do a lot in chapter 3, but don't farm too much or you'll be OP in no time and will ruin the story experience, trust me.
Thanks great to know. I honestly think I'm a bit underleveled because level 12 is kinda unacceptable
It mostly depends on how good you are at the game. People finished this game at level 1 with, yeah, good knowledge of the game, but really depends on your dodging skills. Remember that there's food when you do camping that can boost your stats in a very important way.
Also, a suggestion to make the game even more fun: there's a skill tree where you can unlock the possibility to use the other Bros as playable characters in combat, look for it and you'll have tons of fun in using everyone every now and then ;D
The Pitioss dungeon near Ravatogh is a "secret" dungeon. It can only be accessed postgame (you need the Regalia Type F to reach it).
Doesnt have any Royal Arms, and the accessory you get, the Black Hood, is only sorta good (assuming you're really good at dodging), but it's basically 3 hours of platforming and puzzles. Or you can speed run it in like 3 minutes.
Whichever challenge you prefer lmao
Really cool thanks!

I am a bot. More info about me
I was told that Auron hits harder as his HP decreases. If this holds true, do you know the secret abilities of the other heroes as well?
More than 1000 hours in this game and I'm still discovering new things!
What you’re referring to is the hidden abilities of the celestial weapons. I’ll let you discover more from here.
Ah so it's linked to the celestial weapons. Got it! I initially thought it was connected to the character stats from the beginning. Thanks!
This. Look up celestial weapon hidden effects
Wakka does more damage to al bhed enemies 💯
Does that include Rikku?
Wakka takes out an Al Bhed with his Blitzball
Victory quote: "Boom! Like happy fireworks!"
He loses the buff two thirds into the game, though
Yes! Your correct with that statement. However like some people mentioned, this only really applies with celestial weapons. All characters (apart from Auron) will have a damage reduction the lower their current HP is whereas Auron’s damage will increase the lower the HP. I don’t think it’s actually ever mentioned in-game so I’m not surprised if people didn’t know this. It’s not “particularly” useful as once you have max stats, you won’t see a difference but can be helpful to know in certain situations. I also remember reading about someone who tested this by removing the 99k limit using hacks and making Auron hit with true max damage and it was in the millions…
The Celestial Weapons adjust damage based on either your HP or MP (depending on the weapon).
Yuna and Lulu deal more damage with more MP.
Auron deals more damage with less HP.
Everyone else deals more damage with more HP.
You have to be wielding the celestial weapon to get the effect. You do not have to have upgraded the weapon to get the effect.
While it's described as "more damage", the truth is actually the opposite; Tidus deals 100% of his base damage when his HP is full and ~9% of his base damage when he has 1 HP. Same basic system for everyone but Auron. Auron deals 50% damage at full HP, 100% damage at 70% HP, and unlike everyone else he can actually go above 100% damage as his HP goes down, up to ~216% at 1 HP. (Note: this only applies to physical attacks that are not overdrives. Magical attacks and overdrives don't get this penalty or Auron's bonus.)
The exact formula for everyone but Auron is (10+percentage)/110, while Auron uses (130-percentage)/60.
However, the Celestial Weapons also treat the target as having 0 Defense. So even despite the damage penalty, they still usually come out on top. Note that an armored enemy cuts physical damage by 1/3 unless the attack is from a piercing weapon, which none of the Celestial Weapons have. Armor Break status sets the target's Defense to 0 and removes the armored condition, so if you inflict Armor Break, the Celestial Weapons (other than Masamune) cannot deal more physical damage than any other weapon.
Another hidden weapon stat is crit chance. Most weapons (including the Celestial Weapons) have a 3% chance to crit, which is modified by your Luck stat and the target's Luck stat. Weapons dropped by Dark Aeons have a 6% base crit chance, as do weapons dropped by certain Monster Arena bosses (Malboro Menace, Jormungand, Don Tonberry, Catoblepas, Fenrir, Sleep Sprout, Earth Eater, Greater Sphere, Catastrophe, Th'uban, Ultima Buster, Shinryu, and Nemesis). Weapons dropped by Penance have a 10% base crit chance.
So the chance to crit is (3, 6, or 10) + (your Luck) + (stacks of the Luck skill, max 5) - (target's Luck) + (stacks of the Jinx skill, max 5). The enemy with the highest Luck is Dark Mindy, at 130.
OP it's great that you're still learning new things! I am too, I've played through at least ten times but only recently found out that Lulu says a special line if you Game Over while still in Besaid, and that Yuna imitates Wakka on the road to the Moonflow. There's just so much in this game, you'll keep learning new things and it never gets old. Have fun!
Yes I absolutely love it! This game is my favorite and I’ll be forever impressed about the amount of details the devs put into it
Attack reels go brrrr
Season 1 DLC:
Jun(the hype for her return would have been epic IMO)
Kuma
Devil Jin
Clive for obvious reasons even if people dont like him
Season 2 DLC:
Nina(With Anna being in the main roster in the first place)
Heihachi(I think Heihachi being a S2 DLC instead of S1 would have made much more sense IMO)
Raven or Victor
Mairy
Heihachi shouldve been a grayed out character locked behind challenges.
With Lidia’s rework being so lackluster, they had no business making her DLC again. They could’ve made DVJ DLC and gave him a more polished rework instead of whatever they did with Lidia.
Clearly BOB
I consider that when they release a DLC character from a previous game, it is usually with the idea of balancing it or changing it greatly. I think that if changes had to be made to someone on the base roster it would be Panda, since he is the "worst character" and Kuma is almost identical. I would love for them to be more different characters even though they have many similarities. Something like Asuka and Jun or the Mishima.
