In the rich and immersive world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players are constantly discovering new activities that enrich their gaming experience. One such engaging side activity is finding pianos and sheet music scattered across the various regions. This activity not only provides a break from the intense battles but also offers an opportunity to earn special rewards and a coveted trophy. Dive into the guide below to uncover the secrets of playing the piano and finding sheet music in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
How to Play the Piano in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
To begin your musical journey, you first need to locate a piano. Interact with it to sit down and immerse yourself in the melodies. The game provides on-screen commands that you can follow to either create your own musical compositions or play from the sheet music you've collected. Each piece of sheet music comes with a difficulty rating, visible below its name, and you can adjust the song’s speed using L1 or R1. The higher the speed, the more challenging the piece.
Before you start, various settings can be adjusted to alter your final musical performance. Playing the piano requires skillful manipulation of the L and R sticks to hit the numerous notes available. As you play from a sheet music piece, small yellow lines will guide you by showing which direction to move the L or R stick. As these lines reach the outer circle rim, they indicate the note you should prepare to play.
Locations of Pianos and Sheet Music
Sheet music and pianos are often located in settlements throughout the different regions of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. On your map, settlements feature a piano key icon for pianos, and if sheet music is nearby, a separate icon with a music note will be present. Here are the specific locations where you can find them:
