Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's New Patch Finally Lets You Get That Damn Platinum Trophy
Our long national nightmare is over. Square Enix has updated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and fixed, among other issues, a bugged and impossible-to-complete side quest found at the end of the game that was stopping some players from getting the platinum trophy.
In February, Rebirth—the second installment in Square Enix’s massive FF7 remake trilogy—launched exclusively on PS5. It’s a good (but also probably over-stuffed) modern recreation of part of the original Final Fantasy VII. However, after an update on March 20, a side quest known as “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” broke. And because one of the requirements to get the platinum trophy on PS5 is to do every sidequest, that suddenly became almost impossible unless you bought the game physically, deleted it, and then reinstalled it offline. Thankfully, Square Enix has finally fixed the annoying bug.

On April 11, Square Enix tweeted out that the update 1.030 is now available for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. And it specifically called out that it had fixed the annoying side quest bug, adding: “Thank you for your patience and support!”
While this update is much appreciated, it’s not a total surprise. We knew Square Enix had plans to fix the broken quest as they confirmed as much on April 4. Still, it’s nice that I can finally complete this damn side quest and move on with my life.
Here’s the full patch list for update 1.030:
