The Power of Music — Final Fantasy VII Remake Walkthrough

Complete Final Fantasy VII Remake's 'The Power of Music' side quest in Chapter 14. Learn Cloud's Mode Shift and Punisher Mode mechanics.

"The Power of Music" is a side quest in Chapter 14 of Final Fantasy VII Remake, located in Wall Market. To complete this quest, you need to have specific music discs: "12. Fight On!", "16. Good Night Until Tomorrow", and "30. Stand Up." This quest is one of several chapter-specific side quests.

After a cutscene, speak to Biggs to open a door. Inside, you will be ambushed by Security Officers. This encounter serves as a tutorial for Cloud's Mode Shift ability. Press the [Triangle] button to switch between Operator Mode and Punisher Mode.

• Operator Mode: Cloud can execute fast attacks, guard against ranged attacks and magic. This is Cloud's default battle mode.

• Punisher Mode: Cloud moves slower, but [Square] unleashes a more powerful attack. Cloud launches a counterblow when guarding an enemy's melee attack. He cannot guard against ranged attacks or magic in this mode; evading such attacks switches him back to Operator Mode.

Defeat the enemies, then speak to Jessie to open the next door. In the following room, find a chest on the right containing a tuft of Phoenix Down and some Shinra boxes. Approach and press the button on the lift to proceed.
