How To Steal The Tonberry King’s Crown In FF7 Rebirth
As an RPG, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has no shortage of side quests and tough bosses. A combo of the two in Rebirth tasks you with taking out one of Final Fantasy’s iconic creatures: Tonberries! This time, however, you’ll need to not only take down the Tonberry King as one of the steps of the “Saga of the Seaside Inn” side quest, but steal their crown and give it to Johnny (of all people), too. - Claire Jackson Read More

How To Be The Best Queen’s Blood Player In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is finally here and it’s pretty great! It’s a deep and vibrant action-RPG which rewarded me with beautiful sights, touching character developments, and moments of tactical genius across the several dozen hours I invested in it. But for all of its strengths and weaknesses, the greatest thing it gave me was a new card game: Queen’s Blood. First introduced as a distraction in the opening hours, I quickly realized how much a) I loved it and b) it informs a lot of Rebirth’s side content. With that in mind, I’ve taken on every challenger thrown my way, ranging from the average hobbyists to robots and Chocobos, and learned a thing or two in the process. Now, I hope to impart some advice to any newcomers looking to get good at the card game that’s sweeping the world of FF7 Rebirth. Here’s what I’ve got for y’all. - Moises Taveras Read More
