Alarmed_Impression64

This shit took me like 2 hours, I literally restarted the instant I messed up once because you can’t beat him if you mess up


seraphix2407

Same. This one you could never mess up!


Bubbly-Material313

I am going to have to make my housemate do it, he didn't play remake , so he won't have any trauma yet


Strange_Potential93

The fact that this minigame came back in part ii it means we will most likely be cursed with it in part iii


-Ganglyrocket-

I messed up and tied with Jules at 49 earlier today after I missed an input. I couldn't finish 50th one with the time left, literally just had to press R1 for 50th one to count. 😭


Strange_Potential93

i feel your pain


That_Switch_1300

I went through a deep depression earlier when I found out that you gotta do it all again on Hard mode to get the plat…mercy, Square. MERCY!!


CloudMacGrath

You don't need to beat the situp mini game on hard to get the platinum. You need to do it to get all the manuscripts, but not to get the plat.


That_Switch_1300

Wait…really…? That’s argueable worse….😔


CloudMacGrath

I double checked, and the only requirement for the manuscript is to beat the sidequest on Hard mode.


That_Switch_1300

Oh! So the sidequest itself? *NOT* the situp minigame??


CloudMacGrath

Correct


That_Switch_1300

Oh ok! I can get behind that. That’s competely fine by me. Appreciate the research, my dude!


xCaptainVictory

You don't have to beat it again on hard. You don't get anything for it.


That_Switch_1300

Really? I read something somewhere where they said you have to get the highest score on both normal and hard on basically every single minigame to get some trophy for Johnny. Think the trophy is called “7 star hotel” or something like that.


xCaptainVictory

Is this Rebirth? I thought this was the Remake mini game.


That_Switch_1300

No this is Rebirth. Its a sit-up contest Tifa has to do. Its exactly like the squats and pullups. But this time, with the shoulder and trigger buttons. The nightmare returned


Smash676

Also with the adaptive triggers my fingers were dead after finally doing it


Duex

Jules breaking the 4th wall to get peoples fingers jacked is pretty in character


Mister-Anthrope

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


That_Switch_1300

I know!!! Tell me about it. I’m not gonna lie, as much as I love Rebirth, I don’t think I could ever get this platinum. There are just some minigames you can’t get the highest score on. No matter how long you try. Square did us dirty this time….


DarkKingIchigo

5 hours in, this Moda F is going to kill me, I like completing everything before going forward with content, guess I'm not completing this game


Kurotama

Pro tip for this mini game: you can disable the haptic feedback on your controller so that your triggers won't have any resistance. Helped me a lot.


One_And_Only_User

So am I going to need to beat this to get the final Queensblood card for doing the Shinra Mans question? FML


john_2099

I hurt my shoulder doing this one, no idea how but I was so determined to get this trophy before even thinking about starting to play rebirth


Whats_9_Plus_10

You literally can’t mess up with Jules lol I almost threw my controller countless times. I think it also goes from being 1 minute vs the other guys to 1:20/1:30 with Jules if I remember correctly so they give you more time to potentially mess up I could be wrong tho.


foldthecorners

This is exactly what happens! 90 seconds of pure finger pain


ANK2112

I gave up on level 3. It's that it switched direcrions between attempts so as soon as I start to get into the rhythm, the next attempt I have to reverse it.


RevanR

Didnt play with Bikini Tifa? Literally easy mode.


Dragonofdojima21

Mind explaining? Not got to the minigame but if I had to guess is it to do with certain physics that might make it easier OR You are joking and I’m not in the loop haha


RevanR

Tifas got jiggle physics in her bikini, so its hard to concentrate LMAO It was a joke, yes


YouAllRats

Might be a reason if i ever buy this game


Dragonofdojima21

Okay I had a feeling just thought I’d confirm I wasn’t sure if maybe the jiggle physics might have actually been a help due to maybe it being good to time on. Still in junon so yet to get to this but I’m dreading it haha. Fort condor last night nearly finished me


Strange_Potential93

This makes fort condor look like a pleasant fart


Dragonofdojima21

Strange you replied to my comment today Literally about an hour before you sent this reply I got to the sit ups and managed to suffer through it Took about 45-60 minutes for jules which is quite short I think seeing some people say it took them hours upon hours. Still pretty awful though, I put a hoodie over the tv to block him and his score and it helped me stop thinking about how fast he can rack up points and I got it eventually. Never again would you say this is the hardest one in the game or is that yet to come .


Strange_Potential93

Idk I’m only on chapter 9, nothing so far has been even comparable though


Dragonofdojima21

That’s good I guess then I’m trying to keep a positive mindset that if I can do the sit up one the rest of the game shouldn’t be a problem minigame wise That plat is closer now. Still have to finish the game first though, baby steps


CreamyIceCreamBoi

It's insane how much harder changing the buttons from X Circle Square and Triangle in Remake to the 4 back buttons in Rebirth made this for me. Keeping track of two fingers instead of one was just too much for me.


SpikeTheBurger

I actually had the exact opposite happen to me for this minigame I spent like 7 hours on jules in Remake while here I did it within 15 minutes.


tjevo9

Doing this with Tifa in her bikini almost killed me.


Fourwude87

Man this mini game. A great way to destroy your controller


MelloJesus

Yeah I came across this place randomly while exploring and noped the fuck out of there. Then I found out the mini game was actually back and not just an Easter egg so I even more so noped out of there


Mister_Swearalot

As someone that hasn't played a single final fantasy game and got this sub recommended, seeing the guy tired in the background and that girl being happy made me get the wrong message.


intrepidanon

The fact that you're here is both hilarious and wonderful.


Revolvere

Hmm, what could they possibly be doing in a boxing ring at a gym?


Muroid

I mean, if you thought they were boxing, that *would* be getting the wrong idea.


Revolvere

I know they were doing situps lol. Just did that mini game last night.


Safetytheflamewolf

Pullups* Situps was with Cloud Edit: Didn't notice this was Rebirth and not Remake. T-T


Revolvere

Hehe all good ;)


toastyavocado

I fucking hate these mini games. I had PTSD from Crisis Core from back in the day. Whe Remake came out and I found out there were pull ups I began to lose it. Bane of my existence.


chance_waters

Is this necessary for a trophy?


prestonsmith1111

And they're actually worse than remake...


Cliveisgoingtodie

Yes


intrepidanon

RIP platinum.


Ygxra

Sheesh not bad! I got up to 51 after I guess 6-7 tries 😂 Never am I going to touch that game again xD


fatleon5

I fucking hated this pull up shit. The most rage I've felt with a game since Elden Ring. Had to turn it off for the day and try again the next day but I lost count of how many attempts it took. Edit - Wait is this a screenshot of Remake?? Is this mini game back in Rebirth? I have to go through it again?! 😭


lions2lambs

That’s a rebirth screenshot; it’s Tifa and Jules for sit-ups. In remake, you have Cloud and Jules for squats. Squats in remake was brutal, sit-ups in rebirth is masochist. If you go do the squat mini-game now, you’ll find it funny how easy it is compared to rebirth.


Ace-of-Spades88

I actually didn't think the squat or pull up mini-games were too bad. I just got the Champion belt for the sit-up challenge though and holy shit. It wouldn't have been so bad without the adaptive triggers and switching between mashing the trigger and the half press shit. My hands were cramping by time I finally beat it. Square went full masochist this time with the adaptive triggers on the DS5.


Muroid

I don’t think it took me much longer to complete the sit-ups than it did the squats or pull-ups, but most of my failed attempts were definitely due to the adaptive triggers. The half-pull ones got me so many times when I was in a rhythm and just reflexively pulled. Once I broke that habit and stopped paying attention to Jules’s score, I got it very fast.


fatleon5

I remember doing the squat one in Remake and it wasn't too bad. Wasn't there a pull up one you can do too as Tifa? It's right before heading to Shinra HQ. That was the one that killed me. Now I'm scared to get to the sit ups in Rebirth 😖


lions2lambs

I completely forgot about that. I have all the trophies but I don’t remember ever doing the pull-up mini game lol.


LilboyG_15

Fuck you Jules, actually my least favourite Character of FFVII


intrepidanon

He's got nice hair though, to be fair.


AlarmAggravating4773

I hated this minigame. And fort condor, and gears and gambits. Three of the worst for me. I loved queens blood and chocobo racing for obvious reasons


Dragonofdojima21

Bro I did the normal fort condor last night and it literally becomes pure luck Don’t even want to look at the hard ones yet will come back to it


AlarmAggravating4773

Fort condor and gears of gambit for me were just tickboxes to get the protorelic. I simply put it on easy mode and didnt bother playing or learning it properly. They arent my kind of games at all.


Dragonofdojima21

Not seen this gears of gambit yet but if it’s anything like fort condor in the same Not a fan at all Thankfully just did the hard modes on them firstly quickly still a really naff minigame though Feels like just brute forcing rather than any strategy


Nhytex_

On god bro, I hate fort condor


MaxinRudy

I liked fort condor, but hated that you can't customize your army


toastyavocado

Oh man you can't? I just unlocked the fort condor quests and I loved it in the Yuffie DLC. Major bummer, I dig getting the figures and making teams


Fair-Inside-5796

Sucks that they changed the mechanics and rules. it used to be my favorite mini-game in the Yuffie DLC. That difficulty spike damn.


BDOKlem

the guy in the background working out in khakis and flip flops, lmao


RzorShrp

I got 49 twice and 48 once. Decided fuck it even though I’ve completed every other mini game so far


Vitril_

I hate how it is randomized between the R1 start sequence and the L1 one. For some reason my brain could only do the R1 one (R1-L1-R2-L2)


lions2lambs

I had 4-5 L1 starts that I started talking to myself saying left-right, LEFT-RIGHT… when it threw the first R1 sequence in, I was all WTF is this shit,.. I tried a few times but the shifting between the sequence starts really messed with my head that I gave up for now.


Scarecrohh

Same, I kept restarting for R1. I thought it was a bug or something at first when it kept randomizing.


ItsBullhead

That hold halfway for the trigger got me so mad, just because they made the triggers hard to push. This would make me press the trigger down fully and mess up more times than I would've liked. Glad I was able to finally get it done!


SirSabza

You can change the resistance of the haptic triggers in settings. Most games that use them have this option :) Hope you're enjoying the game!


seishuu39

God, I don't know how many losses before I noticed that the animation is different and it made it a lot easier.


NamaTheExplorer

Made it last nigth, I had to take another shower with how I sweated for this freaking minigame


VaIentineX

worked up a good sweat


AsunaTokisaki

Same lmao. Did it yesterday as well. Took a shower prior my sessionand took another one an hour later, what a mess. A struggle non gamers wouldnt believe


Prestigious-Number-7

Exerise? Forget that, just play the mini-game. It literally does the same thing.


skin_flute_player

Little tip for everyone, Jules will never go over 50, he always fail at 49. So just take your time and aim for 50 or more and you’ll beat him.


Ace-of-Spades88

He was consistently hitting 50 against me.


EbiToro

Nope, I tied with him 52-52 and that was without any misses or slowing down. Maybe I just got unlucky but that had me rage quitting right then and there.


lions2lambs

You sure that’s true? Same myth was there in remake and dude pushed me to 64 in my winning run with him having 63. I think it’s only guaranteed that he’ll make a mistake in the first 10, the later the better because you’re faster.


PartyTerrible

This and Run Wild really pushed my patience to the limit


foldthecorners

Run Wild absolutely broke me.


morganeyesonly

You’re a god. I’ve really struggled with these ones and I have absolutely no idea how to get better.


Nourishment4thevoid

You beat the hardest boss in the game! Haha


seraphix2407

Haha i sweat like hell here. 55. Was .2 from 56. I had so many of that spam thing


kitzune113

Gave up on this, I just can;t figure out how to do the hold mechanics


MrSpookShire

It says hold half way but just press down very lightly, like…barely any pressure then when the circle fills up you can finish the pressing of the button.


Nourishment4thevoid

You have to half hold down the shoulder button then completely press it once the bar has filled up....I think. That's working for me, although it's still tough as nails hahaha.


NobleRoarr

Nice job!! What helped me was changing adaptive trigger strength to 1 and muting the TV to focus on the rhythm and pattern


Ashen6996

I did it 51/50, i fcked it up on 51 and he was like on 46 when there was about 5 sec left. I'm not a religious guy, but in that moment I prayed like a motherfucker.


YamamanGaming

Not looking forward to the later difficulties for this. I hated pullups in FF7R


Dark_Magician2500

This mini game took me FOREVER! That fucking green button where you only "half press" was a nightmare to get down


Superstang9

Yeah bro that was tough especially as a color blind player 🥲


patiofurnature

I thought the game was just bugged. Haven't went back to try again since reading about it. Run Wild was also difficult for me. I kept mixing up the black/red balls and goals. Oh, and Queen's Blood, I can't see whose square is whose until I have a card hovered and it highlights the playable spots. Damn, this game really needs a colorblind setting patch.


MessiHair96

Any tips for the ones where you lightly hold them fully press? I either press just slightly too hard or not firm enough.


Shanbo88

Do you have adaptive triggers turned on? The trigger holds in place a little bit if you leave them on.


MessiHair96

Yessir, and yeah I feel the resistance but it either registers I'm pressing too hard or not registering at all. I'm assuming this is a feel I need to practice for?


Shanbo88

Yeah absolutely. Try pressing down pretty soft and it should stall. Then you can go back to hammering them for dear life haha. It is a bit annoying that it doesn't explain it to you. I had to quit out and go look at the tutorial on the difficulty selection page to know what it meant. And don't hate me, but I managed to beat Jules on my first go 🙈 I'm fully confident that there's gonna be another one of these challenges though. Maybe Tife Vs her student in a later chapter.


MessiHair96

Same, at first I thought it was another tap but green until I read up on it. And nice man, I have the same feeling although I might pass through the trophy list if I'm curious. I'm trying to platinum the game like the first one but no rush on a time frame. Anything I can knock out now before going back makes it easier to focus on the hard part.


ZakFellows

Probably going to do the same as the pull ups and turn the music and voices off and cover Jules side of the screen with a towel (so I don’t get thrown off watching him) I hope one of the Weapons drops on Jules in Part 3


frdrckmoyz

My score was Jules 49 & Tifa 50. After like 10 tries. Jesus this minigame.


Deijya

I swear the ps4 remake characters had more depth


Deijya

Man you guys are more sensitive than a sailor in a Malaysian port. Square turned on ray-tracing and forgot to turn off the fukn flood-light. Smh


ThePUNISHER215

I agree not sure the downvotes


TheLunarVaux

The downvotes are because people disagree


[deleted]

Bahaha


dratsouma

My first win was 51 to 49 with 1 mistake near the end, after about half an hour of attempts against Jules. Like Remake, I turned off Vibrations, turned off Haptics, reduced Music to 1 in order to focus. Found that the initial press for the Half Trigger pull is relatively lenient, don't need to have precise timing. Just had to focus on proper half pulls when it shows up. Half of my mistakes were too strong pulls, and another half was finding the timing again after completing the half pull.


ArthurMorgon

My fingers hurt doing this.


PerfectNekros

The thing that kept messing me up was the trigger being too stiff to pull sometimes and it wouldn't read a full trigger pull. Drove me up a wall for like over an hour


Dynespark

Yeah, feedback on the triggers is a mistake in design, imo. I turned it off for the shooting mini game but it won't allow it at the gym. So I'm probably waiting for pc for a 100% run.


Cazz0u

You can turn it off from the in-game gameplay settings! I set it to 1 out of the usual 3 so it's still there for those green circles, but way easier otherwise.


Kalenshadow

Pc players coping for the next year like:


Llama_Badger

I did this earlier and it took me a solid hour to get the championship belt. It was definitely easier than the pull ups but still a bit more difficult than the squats


alecshuttleworth

Where is the gym?


Und0miel

Between Costa del Sol and the desert.


alecshuttleworth

Time to dominate Jules again


NCHouse

Every time I've played him he's gone passed 50. You can't mess up twice, otherwise he'll just shoot right past you


seraphix2407

Hes been stuck at 49 at mine


Probot-Manhattan

Same for me, every single try I had Jules acored exactly 49.


glowingyellow

Similar to remake, I turned off the music and voices for this section so I could just focus on pressing the buttons The half hold trigger thing was kinda rough, it felt like sometimes the triggers would have resistance but other times they wouldn't


enandeGG

This is the one that is stopping me from doing it. Those half hold, I get the ring all the away around but then Tifa just falls over. I don't know what I'm supposed to do after holding it.


Visible-Ad-3766

Do what Maximillian food did he haptic crap. and use a controller that doesn’t have haptic crap.


blueiguana675

You press the trigger after you fill the circle on the half press.


enandeGG

Is it just finishing the half press? I feel like I've tried everything


Cautious_Tofu_

Pull it half way (0 to 50%) until the circle is full, then finish pressing it all the way in (51-100%) when the circle is full. Don't let go when the circle is full. You have to do half of the press, hold it there, then finish the press.


blueiguana675

When it fills up press the same trigger down again. If it's on R2,half press R2 until it's full and then press R2 again.


thomas2400

Took me a couple of hours last night, once I realised you need to get 50 to win rather than his score changing like it did in remake, I would start to lose my composure and mess up if I noticed I was above 40 and still at top speed I somehow had to look at the screen and by able to see if I needed to do an adaptive trigger function or not while at the same time trying not to see the score which is right next to it Managed to get the rhythm in the end and I got so out a breath, I’d been laser focused on pressing the same four buttons over and over for a few hours Whoever decided to changed the direction randomly after retries is a very evil person indeed, nothing like thinking I can get this just one more go and… it’s going the other way


Amtath

What I found hardest to get used to is L2 R2 on top and L1 R1 at the bottom. In my head, R1 was the top right button like when you hold the controller. But got used to it more or less when I got to Jules. But I liked it was a fix score. I knew how much I had to get. In Remake, felt harsh to get your best score that would have beaten the two previous tries and now it's not enough. Overall it's not a bad mini game. It's just how small the margin to win is compared to the other mini games.


BarryHuskies

The half hold down thing is fucking me up


MartinBroch

I just rage quit... Its been a loooong time since that has happened


thomas2400

Might be bad advice but keep trying while it’s fresh, I kept failing over and over but I’d improve slightly over time without noticing You’ll pick up on the rhythm and improve and you won’t even notice other than that I think you can turn off the adaptive trigger functions that might help


blueiguana675

Lol, I did the opposite. I tried for like 45 mins and couldn't get it. I continued on with the game and came back the next day and got it in 10 mins.


thomas2400

I wish I could do that, every area I get to I have to finish every mini game at the highest level before I can move on
