Your Final Fantasy VII Remake Save File Will Not Carry Over to Rebirth, but You’ll Get Summons

/

The upcoming JRPG Final Fantasy VIII Rebirth is set to launch early next year and if you’re hoping you’ll get to carry your save file from Final Fantasy VII Remake it is confirmed that no, you won’t be able to carry over your Remake save file to Rebirth.

There are no plans to import your progress, which is understandable as Square Enix is treating each title in the trilogy as its own separate standalone title

In an interview with Sony, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth creative director Tetsuya Nomura confirmed that there will be no way to import game files not only in this game but the in the third game.

“We have announced that the Final Fantasy VII remake project will be a trilogy and that each entry will be a standalone game in its own right. Because of this, each game’s balancing is done independently and a player’s levels and abilities will not carry over from one game to the next.” says Nomura.

Players to get summons for Final Fantasy VII Remake save files

Not all is lost as Final Fantasy Remake players do get something for having played the first game. Square Enix has confirmed that players will get these bonuses for having not only a save file for the original game, but also a save file for the DLC INTERmission in their system:

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is set to launch on February 29, 2024, on the PlayStation 5.

Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.

In the grand scheme of things, Capcom has delivered a sequel to make Dragon’s Dogma fans happy and wishing for more, but this isn’t a massive upgrade. Rather, it’s a modernization of the overall concept as the highs and lows of the first game mirror the sequel. If you can weather the storm that is Dragon’s Dogma 2, you might come out as one of the players who consider this one of the best RPG experiences they’ve ever played, or simply the worst.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was a joy to play from start to finish and is a title every FFVII fan should play as they’ve done an exceptional job at bringing to life the world outside Midgar. There are a lot of changes to the original, but they’re changes I find myself welcoming, as this has now been one of my favorite JRPG experiences in recent years.
