Is the piano mini-game price it?

Nonetheless, the sooner songs are a bit higher and it’s all the time good to spend time with FF7’s soundtrack. However are the precise rewards price it?

The advantage of getting it from the piano mini-game is that they’ll come as stage two materia, so that you’ll get a bit extra use out of it extra shortly.
Warding, Steadfast Block, and Binding may also be obtained elsewhere within the recreation (once more, verify the hyperlinks), they usually’re additionally accessible from outlets. Nevertheless, apart from materia and merchandise outlets (beginning at chapter 9), Disempowerment can solely be snagged earlier from the piano mini-game.
Since all of those materia orbs might be bought from outlets, you don’t have to fret about lacking out on restricted objects must you skip this exercise.
So all in all, the materia on provide from the piano mini-game can simply be acquired elsewhere. Taking part in piano as Aerith and Yuffie is sweet, however you get to try this while you’re practically executed with all this mini-game has to supply anyway. And it’s an enormous bummer that “One-Winged Angel” will get you nothing.
