FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - Piano Minigame - One-Winged Angel ⭐️Rank 

No, but it does make her this pear.

She's flexing on him

Beat me to this... but, yeah!

Playing his own theme on a piano on top of his corpse that has been embedded with a steel chair.

I think it just shows that Aerith understands Sephy. He got his point through to her.

🤣

You.

😂 stop

She’s a force ghost now

Sure, that's not creepy or ominous at all...😳

This got me😂😂😂

Missing the anime wink

@callmeshaggy5166 I dunno why but I can hear it and see it perfectly lol

😂

LMAO IKR?! 😂🤣😂🤣

Also Sephiroth: Cloud 7 Seconds Cloud: more weird cryptic stuff? Oh That's what you meant oh thanks Aerith: Thanks buddy ( *OH GOD WHAT HAS HE DONE* ) I still have to die in the OG Timeline though

*sees sephiroth sheathed his sword... just to pulls out a human sized Revolving Bunker* Did Sephiroth met kyousuke nambu?

XDDD

Bro.... too soon! 🤣

"Your relationship with Sephiroth has deepened"

Too soon bro

​@@strahinjagov LOL

Not even then.

Find you someone who plays interdimensional trans-linear temporality chess with you like Aerith and Sephiroth.

You joke, but there were a ton of Seph × Aeris shippers back in the day even though it made zero sense

@@crimsonstar108Yes, back in the day…

​@@crimsonstar108Ahh the good old days...😌

Aerith: so how's the Funeral Party: wait how what?

Aerith's theme is her own Funeral Theme

Yes she just has a piano up her ass ready to go

I aged just hearing that reference, jeez.

I have a 25 year long rhythm game history lol

I’m a modest level pianist and have a decade of music theory under me. While it is a rhythm game at the end of the day, after learning the first few songs on max speed it still can catch you off guard when they introduce fast triplets in this and “Let the Battles Begin!” and general stick sensitivity while decent with input can still slip up for me and outright miss even when I expect the next note.

@@67Dragonball The timing window is a bit weird. You need to hit notes earlier than they sound to "protect yourself" from accidentally hitting the next note. If your stick hasn't returned to center while another note is coming then you'll sometimes accidentally the note. The timing window is big enough that you can be substantially early and still get a "great" though it'll make it sound a little off. Another tip, disable your soundbar or other external audio equipment. Those can cause an audio delay that makes it significantly harder to time.

@@aethertruck I caught that with “Let the Battles Begin” especially with the timing window. It always smites my ego when it still came off as a “Great” but I eventually caught the grace note they were trying to emulate and that helped. The stick centering always throws me off though. It’s a similar gripe I have with Tifa’s sit-up mini game where I always felt a bit early but input lag makes up for milliseconds of delay. Whoever decided to put the DualSense trigger resistance on by default in the mini games as well needs a tough talking to tough 💀😪

@@67Dragonball you don't want the minigames to be too easy though! lol the trigger resistance during trigger rapidtap scenarios is the worst thing in this whole game

My smile at the audacity of Aerith playing this dropped when I realized I still have to find and play it to finish that quest line. I'm scared.

It's easier to play a real piano.

Hopefully they can add in the missing part of the song to make it extra tough and more complete

@@jamesgriffin7962 I have a neighbor with the same name as you

dude i almost had a panic attack trying to play Tifas theme! lmao

It’s the finger dexterity, I can’t wait to get OWA on my game file

I abused 3 very synergistic cards. Tonberry King in bottom row, buff him by replacing your cards til your last 2 cards are griffin and gi nattak, and profit. I very easily got the 100 points with some trial and error but I imagine you can get pretty absurd numbers with some creativity and some luck. The randomly awarded Chadley card would also help Gi Nattak

And when he was in a tag team with Kota Ibushi, they had a move called the Cross Slash

Nothing whatsoever that I can tell. No rewards, no trophy, nothing in the postgame play log, not even an acknowledgement from Dorian. It's for the best imo. I love rhythm games but you shouldn't need to be a rhythm game player to get 100% completion in a FF game.

@@aethertruck 100% agree and thank you for this information. 🙏

I’m happy to know that play this in a higher grade for a trophy. I didn’t finish the game yet but I suck at this rhythm minigames I had to try hard to get A for Baret’s theme 😅(the last music I got on the story so far.)

@@aethertruckreal. It’s a nice reward for the overachiever to do it for fun. I loved Let the Battles Begin and I’ll try my hand at One-Winged Angel, but no reward for acing these is totally fine. Some of these other ones in order to 100% are still REALLY difficult.

Where do you get the one winged angel piano sheet?

Practice modes for rhythm games often include this type of accomodation. Unfortunately, this game isn't a real rhythm game, so they didn't include a practice mode. Slow rate video playback is the only option people have at some version of practice, good tip

Nonsense. If you nailed Let the Battles Begin, you can nail this one too. The left stick stuff takes just a little more practice and memorization.

@@aethertruckI ended up doing it just now as I’m writing this, I found this noticeably less hard than Let the Battles Begin, I think I was just mentally in a bad state and didn’t think properly about it.

@@davidclaxton3674 I always tell music gamers, your motor cortex needs to rewrite itself to perform new motor skills. Practice enough, your brain will learn how to make your fingers do what it wants, and you'll nail it eventually. Practice more, and you'll nail it consistently. Practice even more and you'll nail it most of the time, and even more than that and you'll succeed so often that you get confused when you fail. Practice is like giving your brain experience points. The grind may take a thousand hours but one day you'll level up and forget what it feels like to be able to fail. You just gotta be able to endure the grind. Everyone needs breaks, and rest. I'm glad you pushed through.

For better or worse, you do not. They're just there for the fun of it.

It's a pretty silly reward. Sonic Adventure 2 unlocks an entirely new level if you collect all the emblems, full of all the things you'd want in a new level. Making the final reward a piano song feels really lame, especially because imo it sounds kinda awful

​@aethertruck First of all, awesome job on this flawless run. Im still playing through the game, but for a guy like me who has been obsessed with Sephiroth since 97', I can't wait to unlock this and get star rating. And OWA is my favorite video game song of all time.

She was there. Final Boss in FF7 Remake

@@BenXC I meant in the original lmao lol it was a joke 🤣she died before one winged angel ever played cause it only plays at seifer sephiroth lol.

​okay I thought we're talking about FF7 Rebirth because it is from Rebirth 😜

You need all 88/88 of Johnny's Inn treasures. Complete the Johnny's Seaside Inn quest in chapter 9 first so you can unlock the collection.

@@aethertruckfucking hell they’re really bringing the 90s feel with this grindy post-game content LOL

I'm more interested in how you unlock characters other than Cloud and Tifa on piano

@@MrGBH in Chapter 11 after playing Aerith's theme in Nibel for the odd job, you'll get a prompt saying that Aerith has been learning, and from then on you can switch characters by pressing triangle while sitting at the piano. (Only Cloud, Aerith and Tifa can play)

@@MrGBH After a sidequest in Nibel or finish the game.

A rank the first 6 songs

In Chapter 11 after playing (or perhaps A ranking) the 6th and final normal song, you get a prompt saying Aerith has been learning. From there, whenever you're sitting at a piano, there's a button to switch characters

@@aethertruck nice! Thankyou

​@@aethertruckIf only we'd been given the option to have Tifa or Cid ride in the chocobo races, like in the original.

Yes, ps5 controller, and I have a 25 year history with rhythm games especially DDR which has 4 frame perfect windows. I believe greats in the piano minigame have like, 20 frame windows lol. Ginormous compared to most rhythm games

I often manage to play flawlessly until just before the end, but then I still make a mistake. Every time the same.

I don't think u need this for the plat. I got the trophy right after doing the first 6 songs at A rank. Those ones aren't so hard so u should be fine if this is what ur worrying about.

fill up johhny's treasure. Almost 100% the game.

Postgame

I think it’s not that bad as long as you study this video first to realise when you’re meant to do the left hand chords.

just call anybody to play the left stick😆

Nah. This minigame is by far the most Rebirth steps out of itself and into another genre. Making any kind of unique reward for perfect performances would be bad. You already need to be a rhythm game player to be able to do well on this song. It's a reward the same way Green Hill Zone was a reward in Sonic Adventure 2. It didn't give you a reward to beat it, or A rank it, it was just there so completionists would have something fun to play with. It's an interactive trophy. (Whether it's fun is subjective, I liked it but, a harder song for a minigame that most consider to be one of the hardest already is imo an objectively bad completion reward) If getting an A or S rank on this song was the completionist's final boss, unlocking something like a new weapon or accessory, or even a completely useless key item or Play Log checkmark, it would kill the spirits of every FF completionist that doesn't play rhythm games. Nothing else in the game is nearly as hard. The skillset for this minigame is only learned in rhythm games. It means people like me can S rank it in 15 minutes, and people who don't play rhythm games would need to become an advanced rhythm gamer using only this game as a training tool. Dorian stops being dynamic once you unlock Let the Battles Begin. He never acknowledges anything else afterward, A rank, S rank, nothing. As a matter of fact he never acknowledges S ranks, and there are no rewards for S rank aside from seeing your rank in the piano minigame menu. Chocobo Stops and the Caches are part of the Play Log, which is the completionist checklist. Getting everything including these marks the Play Log with a crown stamp, a trophy in its own right. I have put over 100 hours into this game AFTER getting my Platinum, completing the Play Log and S ranking all the piano musics. I can tell you myself there is no reward whatsoever for the 2 unlockable piano songs.

@aethertruck that's cool:))) I have been trying just to get A rank on let the battle begin 😆 no way would I be able to S rank let the battle begin or one winged angel. People say it's easier on a higher speed so I may try that. I figured since I did about everything else in the game, I might as well try to at least get A rank on those last two songs. Those joysticks are always super wonky for that minigame.

The song speed setting only controls the speed of the note scroll. It doesn't make the notes happen any faster or slower. Essentially, the faster the scroll speed, the more visual space is put between notes, making them more visually distinct at the cost of making them exist for less time on the screen. Scroll speed is just a flavor setting. Some like it very fast, and some, like me, don't.

@@aethertruck hum.. it's way harder to do it on full speed than normal speed because you have to be more reactive, so it does make the notes go faster, they still are on the right tempo's of course, but your window to get the greats is harder, i like to do it on full speed because of the challenge, i was just asking because you only had one more space to go, not saying anything bad, it's actually crazy that you did this on it's own, very well done!

I'd be happy to do it again on 5 speed, because it's literally not more challenging. I'm telling you right now, reading it on 1 speed is harder than 5. The density of the notes makes fast songs visually confusing. Also the timing window isn't smaller on faster speeds. That's a misconception born I don't know where. Lot's of people believe that about lots of different rhythm games, and maybe it's true sometimes. But it's not true in DDR, which is my main rhythm game, and it's not true in the Rebirth piano minigame. I'll make my 5 speed play sound extra shitty to prove it.

@@aethertruck don't bother with that! i was just sharing my experience and it's harder for me in faster speeds but we are all different, i don't know what DDR is.. it's all about hitting the notes in the right time, i get that, is just my opinion, i still think that you did great and i can't say much because i haven't got to this song yet

DDR is dance dance revolution. Rhythm game for your feet. You may be interested in seeing what the opposite end of the spectrum looks like. Here's a video of a song called bag. Most people play it on 5x speed or faster, to make it easier to read. This is what it means for scroll speed to be hard because it is slow. Some people play it on this speed just to flex. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l8Ydmnhhtyw.htmlsi=PjwH2-UCNwg3sXBL

Gears and Gambits is the worst. By far.

@@Heymrk I haven’t gotten that far yet

@@jobe13 You won't enjoy it.

@@Heymrk I’m in the process of rage-quitting the flying chocobo section. I’ve never played a game that I loved so much but hated almost every mini game in it.

@@jobe13 The third one of those wasn't fun, but I got the first two of them pretty quickly. I probably spent an hour on the three.
