Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has a bug that makes it impossible to get the Platinum Trophy for players who do not have the physical game

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been a huge critical and popular success, and already a month after its release, many have been able to complete the Square Enix game and are trying to reach platinum by doing everything necessary to do so. The problem? Aside from the difficulty and hours required to achieve it, a bug in a side mission of the game is preventing players who have a digital copy of the game from obtaining the Platinum. How is this possible? Players with a physical copy of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have found a solution, which can only be obtained from the game disk.

The G-Bike Arcade Simulator is one of the minigames found in the Gold Saucer, and to get the Platinum we need to get the highest score in G-Bike. The problem is that the minigame currently does not recognize our score, so it is not possible to beat the highest score recorded. A bug that came with one of the latest updates and will eventually be fixed by a patch, but until then the only way to fix it is to uninstall the game, disconnect the PS5 from the internet, and reinstall the title using a physical copy. Once this is done, we will be able to access a saved game before the error and we will be able to beat this mini-game to achieve Platinum.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the Physical Format

A mistake that can give rise to the debate of the preservation of the physical format over the digital, is that in cases like this show the importance that can have the fact of having a physical copy in property over the digital. Those who own Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in physical format can overcome this problem today, while those who only opted for the digital format will have to wait for Square Enix to correct this mistake.

In the review made in Meristation USA, it is highlighted that “Rebirth has opted to become a much more open experience. Not quite an “open-world”, the world of Gaia is presented as large, open, explorable environments that connect the various landmarks and towns you’ll be visiting during the story. The lands you will travel through are undoubtedly beautiful to look at, rendered in great detail with, as you’ve certainly seen from trailers released so far, vast green pastures filled with flowers, swamps, wastelands, deserts, and some of the most dense cities and towns ever presented in any Final Fantasy game.”
