If you’re looking forward to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you’ll need to scan the first patch notes to see what’s new in version 1.010 of the game. The biggest addition in this update is the fix for a game-breaking bug that prevented early players from progressing beyond a certain point.
Bug fixes and stability improvements are common in most initial major release fixes, but there are a few fixes you’ll definitely want to install before you start playing the sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
FF7 Rebirth 1.010 patch notes
The patch notes for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s first update are as follows, confirmed in a news post on Square Enix’s Japanese website:
- Some text has been corrected
- Fixed an issue where the game could rarely progress under certain conditions
- Fixed bugs in battles that occur under certain conditions
- Improved the functionality of some items to be correct
- Correspondence to obtain the benefits of having a trial version of data recording
- Added a feature to allow Chocobo stops to be repaired while riding a Chocobo
- Improved image quality when selecting “Performance” in Display Mode in Graphics Settings.
- Improved HUD/graphics/frame rate functionality and quality
- Removes restrictions on the end-game shooting function
- Improves overall game stability
It’s great to see improved image quality in FF7 Rebirth’s Performance Mode, greater stability, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements such as the ability to repair Chocobo stops while riding a mount.
However, the biggest relief comes from a bug fix that would prevent players from progressing “under certain conditions.”
There is no mention of what these conditions were that would have hampered progress, but I’m certainly glad the issue was resolved in some way. I certainly wouldn’t be able to keep playing without feeling a bit anxious all the time.
