If you’re just starting Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for the first time, choosing the right difficulty level may prove to be a challenge as there are several to choose from.
Below I’ll give you the most important information you need to know to decide which one is best for you, whether you’re a seasoned FF&Remake veteran or just starting out as a novice.
FF7 Rebirth Difficulty Settings
| Difficulty mode | Details |
| Easy | “Choose this option if you want to enjoy the story without worrying about battles.” |
| Normal | “Standard difficulty level. Choose this option if you want to fully experience the battles and story.” |
| Dynamic | “Enemy difficulty automatically adjusts based on skill level. Choose this option if you like the thrill of combat.” |
All of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth difficulty settings you can choose from are listed in the table above, from Easy to Dynamic, along with details on what they add to the game.
Are there any difficulty trophies in FF7 Rebirth?
Yes, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has one difficulty wall trophy:From Hardy Stock“, requiring you to “complete all chapters on Hard difficulty.”
How to unlock hard mode
Hard Mode in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth becomes available after completing the game, but it is not available as a typical difficulty mode like the three listed above, but instead via Chapter selection menu.
Playing any chapter allows you to replay a selected part of the story with your progress, level, equipment and material transferred. Complete each chapter on Hard and the “Of Hardy Stock” trophy will be added to your FF7 Rebirth collection.
Which difficulty level should I choose?
The Normal difficulty would be best in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for a typical first playthrough – so you can enjoy the full balance of combat and story as intended. However, if you’re already confident in your skills from playing FF7 Remake or similar games, there’s nothing wrong with switching from Rebirth to Dynamic for a bit of a challenge.
If you want to switch to easy mode and prioritize delving into the story, choosing the appropriate difficulty level comes down to personal preference.
