The result is an evolution, a progression of the established baseline.
Nowhere is this evolution taken further than it is through its Synergy system.
Enter the world of VR in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and topple its myriad battles with relative ease.
But what is Synergy?
How Does Synergy Work In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Synergycomes in two distinct varieties:Synergy SkillsandSynergy Abilities.
This isn’t automatic; it’s a player decision whether and when to do so.
More importantly,the two characters necessary for the Synergy techniquemust be in your active party.
What’s The Difference Between Synergy Skills And Synergy Abilities?
Synergy Skills and Synergy Abilitiesare entirely separate things.
Synergy Skills
Synergy Skillsare equipped in slots andactivated as often as you’d like.
Unlike in FF7 Remake, Rebirth will then displayfour possible commands, one mapped to each face button.
For instance, you might seeCounterfiremapped as’R1 + Circle'.
Which you very much will, very quickly into the game.
You should treat these asnearly as consistently useful as regular attacks.
Counterfire, when properly timed,nullfies ranged damage - and counters it.
Think of Counterfire as merely the first example among many.
Synergy Abilities
Synergy Abilitiesare far moreexclusive and uncommon.
There areonly a few of them between the cast, andthey are all immensely helpful.
Building up your Synergy Abilities, unlike Limit Breaks, doesn’t involve keeping tabs on an ever-present gauge.
Rather,you must rely upon your characters' individual unique abilities.
Examples of qualifying character abilities for Synergy-charging include Cloud’sBraver, Tifa’sDivekick, Aerith’sSorcerous Storm, and Barret’sSteelskin.
Each of these character abilities hasa pip-like indicator to its leftwhen you view it in battle.
Not all character abilities operate in this fashion;the newly-introduced elemental abilitiescommon across the party do not count.
How Do You Learn New Synergy Moves?
Namely,the Folio board, which is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’smain character development system.
Many of theseskill cores, as they’re called, containSynergy Skills.
Spending the necessary SP unlocks them.
Weapon Levels work differently in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth than they did in their predecessor.
Here’s how it all breaks down.
