Master the Tides of War and Worry side quest in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! Get tips for the Dolphin Show minigame, rewards, and walkthrough details.

Alright, so you've reached Chapter 12 in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and you're ready to tackle some side quests. The 'Tides of War and Worry' quest is a good one to jump into, especially since it unlocks once you can fast travel back to Under Junon. Just head to the notice board there, and you'll pick it up. After that, make your way down to Dolphin Cove and chat with Priscilla on the dock. She's got a plan to cheer up the local kids with a Dolphin Show, and that's where you come in!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the Quest: First things first, make sure you're in Chapter 12 and can fast travel to Under Junon. Find the quest on the notice board.
  2. 2
    Talk to Priscilla: Head down to Dolphin Cove and speak with Priscilla. She'll explain her idea for a Dolphin Show to help the children feel better about the ongoing war.
  3. 3
    Prepare for the Dolphin Show: Let Priscilla know when you're ready to start the Dolphin Show mini-game.
  4. 4
    Complete the Dolphin Show: This is the core of the quest! You need to finish the race within two minutes to complete the side quest. To do this effectively:
    • Collect Speed Boosts: Run into the floating beach balls scattered throughout the course. These will upgrade your speed, which is crucial for making good time.
  5. 5
    Use Drifting Wisely: Only drift when you absolutely need to navigate tight corners. Drifting too much can actually slow you down and put you over the time limit.
  6. 6
    Avoid Obstacles: Steer clear of buoys, the sides of ramps, and the edges of the racetrack. Hitting these will slow you down considerably.
  7. 7
    Use Ramps for Air: Some ramps will give you airtime, which can be a fun way to move across sections of the course.
  8. 8
    Finish the Race: Cross the finish line within the two-minute time limit.
  9. 9
    Report Back: After the race, you'll get your rewards and complete the quest.
Tips
  • Don't stress too much about the time limit for just completing the quest; two minutes is quite generous.
  • If you're aiming for the higher ranks and better rewards, practice makes perfect. Replaying the course will help you learn the optimal paths and obstacle avoidance.
  • The Dolphin Show is a great opportunity to practice your racing and drifting mechanics in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
  • 10 Party Experience
  • 2,400 Experience
  • Deepened relationship with Yuffie (as this is one of her character quests)
