You may be wondering what it means in FF7 Rebirth when you get a message saying you’re unable to obtain an item. Given how much material you need to craft in this game, you’ll likely be concerned when you see you can’t pick up items.
Below, we’ll explore the reason why you are unable to obtain items in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and how to fix it.
What does the FF7 Rebirth “Unable to Obtain” message mean?
If you get a message that says you are “unable to obtain” an item in FF7 Rebirth, it means your inventory is full. There is a limited amount of space for each item in your inventory in the game. Considering how many crafting materials you’ll find, you’ll likely reach the max amount for some of them before you reach the end of Chapter 2.
Why can’t you pick up items in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
You’ll be unable to pick up more items in FF7 Rebirth when you get the “unable to obtain” message. Fortunately, this restriction only applies to one item at a time. You are limited to 99 of any particular item. So if, for example, you get 99 Potions, you’ll be unable to craft, buy, or pick up more.
Fortunately, the fix for this is easy. Either sell or use these materials, and you’ll free up room for more. Keep in mind that hoarding crafting materials won’t do you much good, and most of them are relatively common. So, don’t be afraid to craft to your heart’s content. There’s very little risk of accidentally using up something valuable.
Just remember to use or sell extra items to keep things moving smoothly. This way, you make space for new stuff and keep your inventory clean. A simple and straightforward solution.
