How Do You Win the Prize for Outstanding Performance in the Junon Parade in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Question

Accepted Answer

During Chapter 4 - Dawn of a New Era, you'll need to take part in the Junon Parade to get close to the president. This is an interactive minigame that requires you to press, hold, and mash on the face buttons at certain times, and if you do well enough, you'll earn the prize for an outstanding performance. There's also a Trophy you'll unlock for doing so.

To get the Trophy, you'll first need to recruit all Midgar 7th Infantry Units for the Junon Parade. To find out their locations, click through below:

Once you've done so, you need to arrange your Infantry Units in the correct order across three performances to make them as difficult as possible. From left to right, arrange your Participating Units in the following order: Riot Troopers, Riot Troopers, Grenadiers, Grenadiers, and finally Flametroopers. This will allow you to perform the Ramuh Formation, Shiva Formation, and Bahamut Formation — all are three-star difficulty.

Now, once they're correctly arranged, make a manual save so you can return to this point and try again if you fail. Speak to the Commander and the Junon Parade will begin. You don't have to be absolutely perfect, but in order to unlock the Trophy, you'll need to correctly press, hold, and mash the button prompts that appear on screen across the three formations. You're allowed some errors in each performance, but it can't be too many.

Once all your performances are done, the prize winner will be announced and if it's the Midgar 7th Infantry Unit, then the Trophy will unlock. If you fail, reload your manual save and try again.
