Our long national nightmare is over. Square Enix has updated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and, among other things, fixed a buggy and impossible-to-complete side quest at the end of the game that prevented some players from obtaining the Platinum trophy.

In February, Rebirth– the second part of the huge series from Square Enix FF7 Remake trilogy– released exclusively on PS5. It’s a good (but probably crowded) modern recreation of part of the original Final Fantasy VII However, after an update on March 20, a side quest called “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” broke. And because one of the requirements to get the Platinum trophy on PS5 is to complete all side quests, that suddenly became almost impossible unless you physically purchased the game, deleted it, and then reinstalled it offline. Luckily, Square Enix has finally fixed the problem annoying bug.

On April 11thSquare Enix tweeted that update 1.030 is now available Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. And it specifically noted that the annoying side quest bug had been fixed, adding: “Thank you for your patience and support!”

While this update is greatly appreciated, it is not a complete surprise. We knew Square Enix had plans to fix the broken quest since they confirmed it on April 4th. Still, it’s nice that I can finally complete this damn side quest and move on with my life.
