While there are plenty of exciting minigames to play in FF7 Rebirth, there are only a select few that are addictive and fun to play multiple times. Here are 10 of the best minigames you can play in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, ranked from worst to best.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: 10 best minigames, ranked (FF7)
10. G-Bike
While I loved riding the motorcycle and slashing enemies in FF7 Remake, the G-Bike minigame that recreates this part from the last game isn’t all too enticing.
I quickly realized how uncomfortable some of the controls were, and didn’t feel the urge to replay it a second time. G-Bike doesn’t compare to the exciting motorcycle chases from Remake, unfortunately.
9. Galactic Saviors
This is another case of not feeling the best to control. Galactic Saviors has you piloting a spaceship while shooting lasers at enemy ships in space. Aiming would’ve felt a lot better if it wasn’t reliant on where your ship was positioned.
Sure, once you get to the beefier ships that take some time to chip at, Galactic Saviors gets a little more exciting. But I would’ve rather aimed with the right stick while also maneuvering my ship with the left.
8. 3D Brawler
It took some time to understand how to properly play 3D Brawler, but once I got the gist of it, it became a lot more enjoyable to play. It relies on you knowing which fist to throw and when to swing on the fly, making it a lot more strategic than I realized.
I would often mess up the timing or push the wrong stick, leading me to defeat. But after getting into the groove of the game, I realized it wasn’t so bad to play.
7. Run Wild
Run Wild is like Rocket League, but with Red XIII as the car. It’s probably best to describe it as soccer itself. I often ran into control issues again with Run Wild, feeling confident in where I was kicking the ball until realizing Red kicked it completely away from the net.
After a few tries, Run Wild became a lot more enjoyable, and I got a lot better at controlling Red. Some of the challenges tied to Run Wild were also fun, and it’s worth playing to receive a Silver Collar for Red.
6. Pirate’s Rampage
At least in Pirate’s Rampage the aiming was decent enough to allow me a good time. Like any good carnival game, Pirate’s Rampage gives you a weapon to shoot at targets for points.
I started to get more entertained and competitive with Pirate’s Rampage as I got more comfortable with it. The adaptive triggers also made it feel very immersive every time I shot from my gun.
5. Chocobo Races
Chocobo Races got that Mario Kart competitiveness out of me pretty quickly. It also feels nearly as good as Mario Kart does, making the Chocobo Races one of the better minigames in FF7 Rebirth.
There are fun speed boosts that’ll easily make you go from last to first place, and I thought the drifting felt good enough to feel like a true racing game. It’s also fun to put on different Chocobo gear and see what stats and abilities you can have.
4. Crunch Off
Anyone who’s a sucker for rhythm minigames with a good sense of timing will love Crunch Off. Although it starts easy, it can quickly become tougher and faster as you continue.
Crunch Off is more enjoyable the tougher it gets, especially when the buttons fade away, making you rely on your intuition for timing. This is one of those minigames you’re excited to repeat.
3. Piano
Piano is easy to learn and tough to master. As you go through the story of FF7 Rebirth, you’ll unlock new areas and find more Piano music sheets. It’s great to hear music you love from this game, let alone being able to play it yourself.
While it’s not one of the best music rhythm games out there, the Piano minigame gets me excited every time I find a new sheet of music. It’s not as easy as it looks, and you’ll keep coming back for that A Rank.
2. Fort Condor
It didn’t take too long to fully understand how Fort Condor works, and once I did it pulled me in instantly. The blast-from-the-past with the iconic character models from the original Final Fantasy 7 is adorable too.
You must prepare troops and place the correct ones to fight against waves of enemies. The triangle system of which class beats what is simple enough to get you started, but it soon becomes a tough strategy game as the difficulty ramps up.
1. Queen’s Blood
It would be a crime if I didn’t put Queen’s Blood in first place for the best minigame of FF7 Rebirth. Queen’s Blood is quite difficult to learn, but as soon as you understand it, you’re hooked for good. You’ll be rushing to stores to buy Booster Packs in no time.
Queen’s Blood is incredibly smart and addictive, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Square Enix release a mobile game for Queen’s Blood in the future. Building decks is enticing too, as you unlock more powerful cards the further you progress, skills you’ll need in the Queen’s Blood tournament.
Although you may not agree with these rankings, what about this ranked list of every Final Fantasy game from worst to best?
