Choosing a Difficulty
When beginning your journey into Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, you’ll want to decide which difficulty you are playing on. Keep in mind that the difficulty can be changed at any time via the Settings menu, so don’t panic too much over your initial choice.
All options allow you to manually order party members to use abilities via the Classic battle style, unlike Remake in which it was restricted. The options in Rebirth are as follows:
Easy
A solid pick for players who haven’t played many JRPG’s, or who haven’t become acclimatized with the in-game systems of FF7 Remake. Abilities will charge faster, you’ll be able to Limit Break more often, and enemy attacks will deal reduced damage.
Whether you’re not confident in your abilities just yet or are simply looking for a more laid-back story-first experience, this is the difficulty setting for you.
Normal
A good middle ground, normal provides the more… well “normal” experience, with a good balance of enemy difficulty and overall challenge, with heavier hitting attacks and slower ATB buildup in comparison to Easy.
Dynamic
Arguably the best pick for players who are confident with the gameplay systems within FF7 Remake and Intergrade, the Dynamic difficulty setting scales enemies to your level and your abilities. This means that regardless of how much or how little side content you do as you progress through the game, enemies will always be on par with you.
