The sequel to the ambitious JRPG is coming next year.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake, but since both are part of the remake of a single game, many wonder, can I use my saved data from Remake in Rebirth? Fortunately, Square Enix has already clarified this situation.

Yes, you will be able to use your saved data from Final Fantasy VII Remake in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but, beware! There are some things to explain beforehand to make everything clear.

You see, even though both games are part of the remake of Final Fantasy VII, the reality is that Remake and Rebirth are different games. What do we mean by this? You won't be able to keep your characters with their stats, Materias, and so on. In fact, in Rebirth, you will start from scratch with the weapons and abilities that the development team has decided are suitable for this adventure.

"The balance of each game is done independently, and the player's level and abilities do not carry over from one game to the next," explained Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

What will your saved data from Final Fantasy VII Remake in Rebirth be used for?

So, what will your saved data in Remake and Rebirth be used for? While you won't be able to retain all your abilities, you will be rewarded for having played the first installment of the Final Fantasy VII remake.

According to Square Enix, players who have saved data from Final Fantasy VII Remake on the same console they will play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will receive the following rewards if they meet the requirements:

  • Leviathan Summoning Materia - Complete Final Fantasy VII Remake
  • Ramuh Summoning Materia - Complete Final Fantasy VII Remake Episode INTERmission

In summary: you can use your saved data from Final Fantasy VII Remake in Rebirth, but only to unlock special rewards. It's as simple as that!

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will arrive on PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024.
