How to get Party Level 10 in FF7 rebirth

If you’ve completed the main story of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and are aiming for 100-percent completion, you may be wondering how to raise your Party Level to 10, the maximum level. There’s more to it than finishing all quests and beating every boss in the game.

To raise your Party Level to 10 in FF7 Rebirth, you need to check off each of the following requirements:

Complete the main story
Finish all activities in each region (including Meridian Ocean)
Beat Gilgamesh on Gilgamesh Island
Finish every side quest in the game
Beat every mini-game on easy and hard mode

In my experience, you’ll likely be missing some mini-games because there are plenty of them in FF7 Rebirth, and you may not even realize that some of them have a hard mode.

All mini-games in FF7 Rebirth needed for Party Level 10

Every time you complete a mini-game in FF7 Rebirth, you raise your party level by five EXP (or more if a mini-game is part of a quest). Once you complete a mini-game, it gets grayed out on the map, but there may be an orange book symbol on the grayed-out mini-game icon showing that you still haven’t completed hard mode. Here are all the mini-games needed that raise your Party Level to 10:

You can’t miss any of these, so if you’re only a few EXP short of reaching Party Level 10, just go through the list again and double-check if you’re missing anything.
