Darts in Final Fantasy VII Remake (image credit: Video Games Blogger)

There's a darts minigame in the recently-released Final Fantasy VII Remake, but I've noticed that it doesn't follow the usual rules. There are two things I've spotted which differentiate it from standard darts rules:

  • The green ring around the bullseye awards 50 points, not 25;
  • The player can end on a single, double or triple, not just a double.

There is a minor reward given to players who beat Wedge's 301 score of 8 darts, meaning the player has to land at least 3 triples and 3 doubles, 4 triples and 1 double, or 6 bullseyes to achieve this, so I don't believe this was done to make it easier for the player.

Is there a real variant of darts which follows this ruleset?



Best Answer

301 is a valid variation of darts.

Straight-out, where you can finish on anything (as long as you don't go below 0 score), is a valid variation too.

I have never known anyone to play 50 points for outer bull though.

Having said that, the beauty of darts is you can play any rules you want as long as all players agree.

To be specific though, I dont believe there is a commonly played variant (with a specific name) that meets all this criteria. Closest would be "301 straight-out".

Do you get anything for darts in ff7 remake?

Your reward for the Darts Minigame is the Luck Up Materia, obtained when beating Wedge's 1st place record. However, you won't receive the Materia until Wedge gives it to you directly in the second half of Chapter 4, so keep this in mind if you're jumping around to different chapters using the Chapter Select feature.

How do you beat dart game ff7 remake?

Beat the game with less than 8 darts. Luck Up Materia (Wedge will gift it later). A good way to achieve this is to aim to Triple-20 to score 60 points per throw. Alternatively, players can aim to score a bullseye on many early hits, making the remaining hits easier.

How do you play darts ff7?

A Luck Up materia is one of the rewards for the squat minigame in Chapter 9, "The Town That Never Sleeps". Beating Jay for amateur level will reward it.
