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.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.

This will be music to the ears of kids who grew up on the series, but for the uninitiated, there’s nothing quite like the Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi Brothership does its best to appeal to a wide range of players with charming presentation and a strong new Battle Plug system, but not everyone will be enamored with its reflex-testing gameplay.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
