What is party level in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Your party level is separate from each character level in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and only increases as you gain experience in a party. Unlike regular experience points, you can only earn Party XP by completing certain tasks in the open world – not from battles or boss fights.
Increasing your party level unlocks new Folios for each character. Folios are where you can spend SP to learn new skills, including synergy skills, synergy abilities, and handy magic attacks that don’t cost MP. The latter abilities quickly become important when facing bosses with specific elemental weaknesses, including Midgardsormr, and limited access to magic and MP repairers.
Character folios unlock simultaneously as you reach new party levels. You can reset anyone’s skills at any time at no cost. So there’s no harm in experimenting with different capabilities to see what best suits your needs.
How to Level Up Your Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Party
Party XP only comes from a handful of tasks, the most common of which is found in the open world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Considering how useful some of your folio abilities are and how quickly the difficulty of combat increases, you may want to set aside some time and practice a few of these activities to unlock more skills and make combat a little more manageable.
Complete World Intel tasks
Chadley’s World Intel is asking everyone to reward you with 5 Party XP, and there’s no shortage of things the android Shinra wants you to do outside of Midgar. That said, some World Intel tasks are a little more trouble than they’re worth, at least from a Party XP perspective.
Protorelic quests, for example, take a long time to complete. You should still complete them, but if you’re trying to level up your party, focus on Lifesprings, Combat Info, and Excavation Info first.
Activate Remnawave Towers
Enabling Remnawave Towers is technically the responsibility of World Intel, but the activity is important enough to be worth highlighting on its own. In addition to the usual 5 Party XP you get from completing World Intel tasks, you also get other nearby World Intel points of interest marked on your map.
Activating Remnawave Towers is an effective way to identify activities you can take on quickly before moving on, and you can usually find Moogle Medals in each Remnawave Tower.
Take part in side quests
Completing side quests of all kinds rewards you with a small amount of Party XP, and while they take longer than Chadley’s requests, it’s worth the time to complete them. Side quests usually take you to new parts of the region’s map – including Chocobo Stops for quick travel – or lead you to Queen’s Blood players or other important NPCs.
More importantly, they often pair Cloud with another group member and deepen his relationship with them. Stronger relationships give both characters useful boosts in combat and make it more likely that they’ll want to spend time with Cloud at the Gold Saucer, so it’s a win-win situation all around.
Progression in the main story
You will get 10 Party XP for completing major story milestones. This is the maximum Party XP you get from any activity, but these milestones are limited and take a long time to reach. Don’t rely solely on this method to increase your party level.
Good luck increasing your party level in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth!
