Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth save carry over bonuses and save transfer explained

The save carry over bonuses in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth grant players special rewards if they have previously played the Remake, Episode INTERmission, or the Rebirth demo. These bonuses can significantly enhance your experience in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, especially during the early stages of the game. For instance, if you retain your Rebirth demo save data, you can even skip the Nibelheim flashback.

Players of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake may wonder whether they can transfer their save data to Rebirth. This article will provide clarity on this matter, as well as detail the Final Fantasy 7 save data carry bonuses and how to obtain them.

Can you transfer save data to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Unfortunately, you cannot transfer your save data from the Final Fantasy 7 Remake to Rebirth. This means you will have to start anew, without any of the weapons, gear, Materia, or character levels accumulated in Remake. However, if you played the Remake on PlayStation 5, Episode INTERmission, or the Rebirth demo, you can unlock various save data carry over bonuses.

Here are the bonuses you can unlock and the corresponding games required for each:

• Leviathan Summon – Requires save data from Final Fantasy 7 Remake
• Ramuh Summon – Requires save data from Final Fantasy 7 Remake Episode INTERmission
• Kupo Charm – Requires save data from the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo
• Survival Set – Requires save data from the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo

It’s important to note that the Final Fantasy 7 Remake save data must be stored on your PlayStation 5 to unlock its corresponding bonus.

If you’ve played the Rebirth demo, you can also skip the Nibelheim flashback thanks to your save carry over data.

How to get the save data carry over bonuses in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

You can check your eligibility for the save data carry over bonuses in two ways. The first is selecting the ‘Bonuses’ option from the main menu even before starting the game. The second method is through the ‘DLC / Bonuses’ option found in the in-game ‘System’ menu.

While you can unlock bonuses from either menu, you won’t receive them until you complete the flashback in Chapter 1: Fall of a Hero. If you try to unlock the bonuses before this chapter, you will receive a prompt instructing you to finish it first.
