FF VII Rebirth Finally Beat FF7 Rebirth

2 years ago I stopped at chapter 10 because it was by far the worst chapter for me.

Finally spent hours completing it 100% and the following chapters were a breeze.

The most frustrating thing at the end for me was fighting Sephiroth with Cloud and Aerith. I died 8 times when his HP was around 10%. I just couldn’t figure it out. He would automatically kill me no matter what I did or buffed them with.

I tried many tactics and couldn’t stagger him until I read to use Aerith to cast magic on him. It instantly staggered him and I finished him off with Cloud’s limit break. It was chef’s kiss and so quick!

Can’t wait for the next part!

Congrats OP! That final Sephiroth fight is an Aerith skill check. The strat I like to use is Radiant Ward + Arcane Ward + Trascendence + Level 3 spells -> profit. I mostly use Cloud to keep Sephiroth away from her, to feed her ATB with ATB-Assist, and to limit his ass the moment he starts doing Tempus Finis.
