Does Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo Progress Carry Over? Answered

With all of that said though, you might now be curious: Does Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo progress carry over to the full game?

Well, the answer is a bit of yes and no. According to that aforementioned Square Enix blog post,those who play the demo will have the option to skip part of the Nibelheim section, so you at least won’t have to retread all of the gameplay you already went through. And yet, you do still have to play through certain un-skippable parts of said section. There’s also no mention of the Junon section being skippable, so that likely needs to be replayed as well.

It’s not ideal, but also seems like a small price to pay compared to test-driving one of the biggest games of the current console generation. Plus, you get some bonus items and a helpful accessory in the full game if it detects that you played the demo, which is far from nothing.
