Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the latest game by Square Enix in their mainline flagship series, Final Fantasy. Being the latest in the series means it has a few new mechanics, which haven’t been seen before, in a Final Fantasy game at least. One of these would be the Party Level mechanic.

The Party Level mechanic is different from the individual level of the party members. It can only be increased through accumulating Party EXP in a variety of ways.

There are many skills and synergy boosts that get unlocked when you raise your Party Level. Moreover, you can also get a boost in the base stats of a character by increasing your Party Level. On top of these, you also get stronger Limit Breaks for the entire party. These are all incentives designed to motivate you to raise your Party Level.

You can employ various methods to acquire Party EXP to increase the Party Level in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. These include, but are not limited to the main story, side quests, and various mini-games.

To raise your Party Level to the maximum limit of 10, you have to beat all main story bosses and chapters, complete all side quests, and mini-games (on Hard), along with completing all the World and Field Intel missions.

Main Story

Every Main Story chapter, after beating the boss of each chapter, will reward you with a ton of Party Level EXP. This will usually result in the players either leveling up or being close to leveling up, whenever they finish up a Main Story chapter.

Recruiting New Party Members

This method provides the most Party Level EXP for each instance. However, it is unfortunate that you can only have 7 party members. This means—there are only 3 instances in the game where you can claim the reward for recruiting new party members.

You can gain this EXP while doing the main story missions.

Side Quests

Every Side Quest offers a reward of 10 Party EXP to you. With 36 Side Quests in the game, that results in a net 360 Party EXP. Therefore, you are advised to not skip side quests and instead complete any side quests, when you find them.

Mini-Games

To reach the famed Party Level 10, you are required to play through and win some of the many mini-games, which are sprinkled throughout the game. However, this is no easy feat, so you are recommended to make a proper strategy before approaching each one

The mini-games earning you Party Level EXP are Fort Condor, Cactuar Rush, and last but not least, Gears and Gambits.

These were some of the ways in which you can gain Party Level EXP in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is not an exclusive list, and there are certainly more options, however, these are the easiest ways to earn Party Level EXP as fast as possible. You should consider finishing the World Intel missions whenever you can, as every Intel mission also contributes some EXP towards your Party Level.
