Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthwon’t allow players to import theirFinal Fantasy 7 Remakesave files.
Following the announcement thatFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthwill be launching on February 29, 2024, game director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed in aPlayStation bloginterview that players won’t be able to carry over their saves from the previous game, stating that each title in the planned remake trilogy is a standalone game (viaGamesRadar).
“We have announced that theFinal FantasyVII remake project will be a trilogy and that each entry will be a standalone game in its own right,” Hamaguchi said. “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.”
For players who playedRemake, this accounts not only for your entire party, their levels, and their abilities, but also acquired weapons, Materia, armor, and accessories. But it’s not all bad. To compensate those players who spent a lot of time progressingRemake, they’ll be given some free gifts for playing the previous game, according to the director.
“We have created some special bonuses for fans who played the previous game, allowing them to start with a little something extra,” Hamaguchi added.
A recent Square Enixblog postprovides more details and confirms that PS5 players withRemakesave data will be rewarded the Leviathan Summon Materia, as well as the Ramuh Summon Materia if you playedEpisode Intermission - Remake’s DLC featuring Yuffie.
Rebirthwill be released exclusively forPlayStation 5and will pick up exactly where the previous game left off, as Cloud Strife and friends explore new regions in an expansive open world, with “nearly 100 hours of adventure,” Square Enix said.
