Have you played the FF7 Rebirth demo? There’s some good news. You won’t have to repeat the Nibelheim portion that you have already gone through. Through a very simple step, the game will allow you to skip this part.
How To Skip Chapter 1 Flashback In FF7 Rebirth
If you have played the FF7 Rebirth demo, you can easily skip the NIbelheim portion of chapter 1. All you have to do is claim the saved data from the main menu. The game will even ask you if it can check for saved data when starting a new game.
While starting a new game, simply allow the game to check for saved data from the demo. Considering that you still have the saved data stored on your console, the game will recognize it and allow you to skip the FF7 Demo Chapter 1. Additionally, you will also gain some cool rewards from the developer for playing the demo.
Here’s how to do it:
- Complete the FF7 Rebirth Demo.
- Launch Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (full game).
- Choose Bonuses from the Main Menu.
- Select Check Saved Data.
- You will be notified that you can skip the Nibelheim portion and gain rewards like Kupo Charm and Survival Set.
- Start a New Game.
However, keep in mind that you cannot skip the entire first chapter of FF7 Rebirth. Even if you have played the demo, you will be able to only skip the Nibelheim (flashback) portion of the first chapter. You will still have to play significant portions of the first chapter.
The option to skip the Nibelheim flashback will be prompted after you complete the game’s prologue in Midgar. Be on the lookout for this option that arrives roughly 30 minutes after you start your journey into FF7 Rebirth. The option to skip will arrive after the credits roll.
