How to skip Nibelheim in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Understanding how to skip Nibelheim in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth provides players the opportunity to bypass a flashback related to the mako reactor investigation and advance the main storyline more efficiently.

It is essential to note that the option to skip the Nibelheim flashback is only available to players who have completed the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo and retained the save data on their PlayStation 5. If you haven’t saved the demo data, you will need to experience the Nibelheim segment of the game.

If you have retained the demo’s save data, follow the instructions below to learn how to skip Nibelheim in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

How to Skip Nibelheim

Before explaining how to skip Nibelheim, it is crucial to remember that this feature is exclusively for players who have completed the Rebirth demo and still have the save data on their PlayStation 5. If you do not meet these criteria, you will need to play through the Nibelheim section in Chapter 1: Fall of a Hero.

If you do meet the criteria, ensure you take the following steps before starting the game to successfully skip Nibelheim:

Access the main menu of Rebirth.
Select the ‘Bonuses’ option.
Choose ‘Check Saved Data’.
Progress through Chapter 1 until prompted about skipping the Nibelheim section.
Select ‘Yes’ to confirm the skip.

By selecting ‘Check Saved Data’, the game scans your PlayStation 5 for any related save data from Final Fantasy 7, allowing you to unlock any save carry-over bonuses you are eligible for.

It is important to emphasize that this method only allows you to skip the Nibelheim flashback and does not enable you to skip the entire Chapter 1. You will still need to complete the sections of Chapter 1 that are not part of the flashback. Just remember to check your saved data and confirm with ‘Yes’ when prompted!

Good luck on your journey in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth!
