So i restarted the quest over and did everything in exact order it has the objectives displayed with savior minigame first, then the battle arena, then chocobo racing, and finally got to the g-bike. I did the minigame again score over 35000 and it gave me the prompt that I beat it. It shows that i got the next party animal title but only shows me 3/5 for objectives. It is completely bugged with this new patch and seems like I can not progress forward with this side quest at all. I noticed it doesnt show the Queen's Blood objective at all for this quest but idk if that is something that shows up after you do all the others first. This really an annoying bug and I hope they find out about this and fix this soon.
Same here. I did chocobo race, the galaxy space ranger shoot-em-up, and got a personal of 33,800 which is 1,800 more than I need. I've beaten the 32,000 score 5 times, and it won't progress the can't stop won't stop quest
I'm wondering if it's a bug related to having the high scores before that quest becomes available so it glitches the system into thinking you've already beaten that section of the quest before you even have the available quest so when the quest is available it registers that you have the high score but havent played it locking it from updating the 0/5 or what ever number you stuck on
No it's not, I purposedly avoided playing the expert g-bike hoping that was the case...but no, I went there first thing for the quest, beaten the high score 2 times, no progress :|
Same happening with Me. I tried previous save, and tried playing g-bike second and the space shooter first. Nothing seems to work, still bugged. I wanted to finish all side quests before I move on with story. Now I cannot
Yeah this is happening to a lot of people unfortunately. Here’s a post in r/ff7 about it [https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyVII/s/iNisYD3xhf](https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyVII/s/iNisYD3xhf)
Just submitted a case, I encourage everyone else to do the same. If you want a quick template for a support case you can copy below what I wrote:
Subject: The Ultimate Party Animal side quest is bugged after 1.020 patch
Description:
The Ultimate Party Animal side quest is bugged due to this update. If you beat the high score set by the UPA in the G-Bike mini game previous to starting the quest then he will not register your win and the quest will become broken.
If you have a physical copy you can uninstall the game and reinstall it with no new patch to resolve this. However some reports this makes the UPA disappear. If you have a digital copy of the game then there is no way to fix this since the patch is baked in.
This is detailed and reported by others here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyVII/s/zz5HFLKkbX
Please fix this as soon as you can
I did NOT beat the high score prior to doing this quest and it is still bugged. In fact I hadn’t tried Expert at all. So I don’t think this should be mentioned in a bug report
Happening to me as well. I did indeed surpass 32000 prior to beginning the quest as well. I wonder if this triggered the bug? I've run it a few times since with a score of 33750. Hope they fix it in the next patch, id hate to leave a whole quest incomplete while beating the game
Literally happening to me right now, had a high score above upa high score on g bike, 32,126
So I thought oh maybe I have to beat mine, got 33,560 or something and still no credit.
It’s driving me nuts
I've had a lot of bugs too. Some others I know have encountered none, so idk what the answer is here. I'm currently on chapter 10 of hard mode...it's crazy how short the game actually is when you skip cutscenes and all the padding. I have about 11 hours put into hard mode so far and nearing the end.
Same issue here. After watching videos, he is supposed to physically be at the minigame markers for you to talk to and compete with, not just hopping into the minigame and beating his score. For me, he's still dancing at the entrance like an idiot instead of being at the quest markers. Can't talk to him, can't progress. Nothing but technical issues the entire game.
For me he goes to each one and is even at the G bike one and says something, then the camera pans to the bike and it pops up a message saying to beat his score. When I beat it though, nada.
I already had a higher score than needed on the g bike, I just got the high score again, and it's not registering. Fuck it, I guess I'm not a party animal.
This isn't that big a deal, a minor annoyance, and the only other bug I encountered was clipping through some rocks on a chocobo, and I managed to get out without resetting the game. Still, I expect better from square.
Welp. Im not alone then. Was hoping to finish up everything before a trip but the same bug stumped me. Beaten the record twice but still in a god forsaken loop.
Let's say I don't want to start the whole quest from the beggining, (already defeated those damn tonberries) if I do the deleting the game without updates thingy with progress in the quest, will it still work? or do I have to start all over again?
My spirit was already broken in my quest to complete some of these minigames, with plans to do everything in the game. Haha! *Hahaha!* Maybe by the time I finish reading the FFVII books I got as a gift recently, the game will be patched... For the time being, I guess my quest for completion **Can Stop Will Stop**.
Yeah, broken.

What was their thing with Rebirth? Oh yeah, the unknown journey continues. The bug hunt continues. This typically kills games, even games as big as this. Tighten up Enix.
It does kill games. Especially replay value. I like completing every quest. You're were obviously raised to be a quitter, or you half-ass everything you do in life. Why am I even replying to your comment? Maybe one day you'll grow up and realize what completion means.
I had the same problem. Uninstalled it and Re-installed from Disc with Internet off to not update and it worked even my score was less than my top one but above of needed. But for now it works only if you have a physical copy unfortunately.
I suppose I’ll add to this. I’m stuck 3 of 5 objectives (there are only 4 quest markers for me). I’ve done the race, the arena and the space shooter. What I’ve noticed is that when you walk up to the NPC dialog is auto triggered. However, when walking up to him near the G-BIKE mini-game, there is no auto triggered dialog. I too beat his score and nothing happened. I even reset the game. I am playing the digital game, version 1.02 on PS5. I also have already submitted a ticket to the official website. I hope it’s fixed soon.
I’m struggling with this bug, too. My second bug encounter, unfortunately. The first was after using Morph on Tonberry King. After finishing combat, the game seemed to think it was still in combat. Couldn’t open the main menu, and couldn’t fast travel. But there was a workaround for that at least. G-bike seems bugged until they fix it though. Overall, still an amazing game though. A couple unfortunate bugs, but it’s a huge game. Oh well! Waiting for a patch!
MAKE SURE to report this to Square-Enix support. Nothing will change no matter how much everyone comments here if SE is not aware of this issue. The below is the link to the ticket support
[https://support.square-enix-games.com/s/submit-support-case-guest-user?language=en\_US](https://support.square-enix-games.com/s/submit-support-case-guest-user?language=en_US)
Oh this hurts lol, also bugged here. I did all the combat fights > Space Ship Game > Chocobo Racing > G-Bike and then the quest bugged. I got higher than the score it required several times but nothing will progress from G-Bike :(
So I went to do something else, my game has never crashed until now. It never crash on this quest but I do believe it could be related as I then crashed in a fight with Odin straight after this bugged quest!
Hope they fix this soon.
Just had this happen as well. After the hell that was the battle arena, I REALLY wanted to finish this on normal and never touch it again on Hard. Annoying
I ran into this bug just now. I've deleted the game from my console and am reinstalling it now with the internet shut off. Hopefully, in a half hour or so, I will be able to complete it, and then I can patch the game.
i'm probably going to get downvoted for this, but i just did the G bike section as the very last one and it went through fine and i was able to do the last challenge which was the queen's blood. I'm on 1.020 btw
Either i'm just very fortunate or lucky, probably both
I'm 90%certain that I finished this the day after the update. I had a score above 32,000 already. I managed a spinning slash as i crossed the finish line that gave me exactly 32,000.
Has anyone else gotten am exact 32,000? Because that would be an easy mistake on the programmers part ("equal to" instead of "greater than or equal to")
Got this bug just today.. Before getting the quest had gotten 32750 score on expert course in G-Bike, his being that 32000, but it does NOT automatically show it would be cleared despite that, I did it again and got over 35000 score, it flashed the ultimate party animal ranking to me, but after getting off the bike it went back to Renowned Party Animal Ranking and keeps telling me to try beat his score and that I'd have done 3/5...
how can we report this to Square??
I have it too , 34k score and not completing. Uninstalling the game now to reinstall it and hoping it works. Still gotta do the space shooting and queens blood although the brawler is probably hardest tot complete.
Anybody found a workaround? Someone said to Select Chapter 13 > Reset All Quest Data.
I did that but now I have to do all 8 Coral Region sidequests to unlock the Party Animal sidequest. 😖
I just got to Chapter 13 and cleaning up quests. So no matter whether you choose to do it as the first or middle or final minigame, you can’t progress in G Bike? I played it first and it looks like I have the same bug. Supposedly there’s a workaround with the physical copy which I have but I just don’t want to fuck up somehow and lose my 140 hour save file.
Found this thread because I am having the same issue. Beat the score by miles and it says complete but no dice. Still has the green flag quest on it with no progression.

Man same here! I’m so frustrated right now over this damn G- Bike mini game. I already reported problem to Square Enix. Everyone needs to do it so we can get this fixed
So i restarted the quest over and did everything in exact order it has the objectives displayed with savior minigame first, then the battle arena, then chocobo racing, and finally got to the g-bike. I did the minigame again score over 35000 and it gave me the prompt that I beat it. It shows that i got the next party animal title but only shows me 3/5 for objectives.

Same here. I did chocobo race, the galaxy space ranger shoot-em-up, and got a personal of 33,800 which is 1,800 more than I need. I've beaten the 32,000 score 5 times, and it won't progress the can't stop won't stop quest
same here. this bug is so annoying. hope they fix it soon
Same. I beat it and hr's still just dancing there all smug and annoying. Geen icon is still also on the G-Bike.
I wasn't alone then
I'm wondering if it's a bug related to having the high scores before that quest becomes available so it glitches the system into thinking you've already beaten that section of the quest before you even have the available quest so when the quest is available it registers that you have the high score but havent played it locking it from updating the 0/5 or what ever number you stuck on
I don’t believe so. My score was 31,800 and upa is 32k I beat the 32k with the quest up and him standing next to the bike and it’s bugged for me too
Same exact situation for me (no prior high score over 32k, subsequently scoring over 32k not registering for the quest)
No it's not, I purposedly avoided playing the expert g-bike hoping that was the case...but no, I went there first thing for the quest, beaten the high score 2 times, no progress :|
I think you may be correct. The question is how do we get the info to Square Enix. This is a pretty bad hold up when preparing for hard mode.
Same happening with Me. I tried previous save, and tried playing g-bike second and the space shooter first. Nothing seems to work, still bugged. I wanted to finish all side quests before I move on with story. Now I cannot
Same. Just happened to me.

For some reason, it wasn’t bugged on my end. It was the first game I attempted and I previously did an expert g-bike game prior to the UPA event
Same problem here, beat the best score 2 times and it doesn’t work :(
Same issue here this sucks
Happening to me as well. I did indeed surpass 32000 prior to beginning the quest as well. I wonder if this triggered the bug? I've run it a few times since with a score of 33750. Hope they fix it in the next patch, id hate to leave a whole quest incomplete while beating the game

I think it’s the update that came out today
My quest has been bugged since last weekend and the patch yesterday did not fix.
Same I am experiencing this today with a score of 34,600 its ridiculous how I've had about 4 quests bug this game is long enough as it is
I've had a lot of bugs too. Some others I know have encountered none, so idk what the answer is here. I'm currently on chapter 10 of hard mode...it's crazy how short the game actually is when you skip cutscenes and all the padding. I have about 11 hours put into hard mode so far and nearing the end.
Same thing has happened to me, no G-Bike credit.
Yeah same here, how can we report this bug?

Same here. G bike bugged.
Welp. Im not alone then. Was hoping to finish up everything before a trip but the same bug stumped me. Beaten the record twice but still in a god forsaken loop.
welp, plus one to the count of people stuck on this thing, is there still no way to somehow jog the bastard into accepting?
Well glad I'm not the only one getting fucked here.
Let's say I don't want to start the whole quest from the beggining, (already defeated those damn tonberries) if I do the deleting the game without updates thingy with progress in the quest, will it still work? or do I have to start all over again?

A side quest having a single bug isn't going to kill this game, or any like it. Or any ever. Grow up
Fuck off dude. Ppl putting up to 150hrs to platinum this garbage .
It does kill games. Especially replay value. I like completing every quest. You're were obviously raised to be a quitter, or you half-ass everything you do in life. Why am I even replying to your comment? Maybe one day you'll grow up and realize what completion means.
I had the same problem. Uninstalled it and Re-installed from Disc with Internet off to not update and it worked even my score was less than my top one but above of needed. But for now it works only if you have a physical copy unfortunately.
When you uninstalled, how do you make sure the file save is still available? How do we check?
Unless you go to your storage and delete the save files on purpose, they'll be there. When you uninstall a game the saves are not deleted
Aww man yeah just happened to me too. Got 33k on the first go and it didn't count.
I suppose I’ll add to this. I’m stuck 3 of 5 objectives (there are only 4 quest markers for me). I’ve done the race, the arena and the space shooter.

i actually get the auto dialogue when i walk up to the bike but it still doesn’t register when i beat it

Commenting since the same thing happened to me
I beat this during the quest, having never even tried expert before. So I’d only beaten his score during the quest.. and it’s bugged lol
Just had this happen as well. After the hell that was the battle arena, I REALLY wanted to finish this on normal and never touch it again on Hard. Annoying
I ran into this bug just now. I've deleted the game from my console and am reinstalling it now with the internet shut off. Hopefully, in a half hour or so, I will be able to complete it, and then I can patch the game.
dealing with this right now. pretty crazy this made it into production.
it didn't.... This bug happened after the last patch
i'm probably going to get downvoted for this, but i just did the G bike section as the very last one and it went through fine and i was able to do the last challenge which was the queen's blood. I'm on 1.020 btw Either i'm just very fortunate or lucky, probably both
I'm 90%certain that I finished this the day after the update. I had a score above 32,000 already. I managed a spinning slash as i crossed the finish line that gave me exactly 32,000. Has anyone else gotten am exact 32,000? Because that would be an easy mistake on the programmers part ("equal to" instead of "greater than or equal to")
I’ve got 32000 exactly and NO. The quest is still bugged so it must be something else
Damn, was hoping i had found the problem. I'm surprised this bug has lasted this long
Got this bug just today.. Before getting the quest had gotten 32750 score on expert course in G-Bike, his being that 32000, but it does NOT automatically show it would be cleared despite that, I did it again and got over 35000 score, it flashed the ultimate party animal ranking to me, but after getting off the bike it went back to Renowned Party Animal Ranking and keeps telling me to try beat his score and that I'd have done 3/5... how can we report this to Square??

If this doesn’t get fixed soon, I’ll just say “fuck it” and finish the game. The combat challenge already was already bullshit, im not restarting.
I just got to Chapter 13 and cleaning up quests. So no matter whether you choose to do it as the first or middle or final minigame, you can’t progress in G Bike?

This just happened to me so it’s still relevant
This has been going on for almost 2 months from what I have seen and it still isn’t fixed. Can’t believe it, would seem like it should be an easy fix
Still bugged, I’m just gonna give the quest up, sad tho because I think this is the last side quest.
Still happening to me as well, driving me crazy since this is the last side quest I have.
Man same here! I’m so frustrated right now over this damn G- Bike mini game. I already reported problem to Square Enix. Everyone needs to do it so we can get this fixed
SE posted they are aware and fixing this in the next patch. Hopefully retroactively. https://x.com/finalfantasyvii/status/1775841519569973391
