Nibel-not.
Knowing how to skip Nibelheim in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will allow you to avoid a flashback to the mako reactor investigation and continue with the main storyline.
The important thing to note, however, is that you can only skip the Nibelheim flashback if you've played the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo and have kept the save data for said demo on PlayStation 5. If you haven't, then it's time to return to Nibelheim.
If you haven't deleted the demo's save data, then read on to learn how to skip Nibelheim in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
How to skip Nibelheim
Before we tell you how to skip Nibelheim in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, it's important to remember that this feature is only available to players who completed the Rebirth demo and have kept the save data on their PlayStation 5. If this does not apply to you, then you will have to play through the Nibelheim section of Chapter 1: Fall of a Hero.
If this does apply to you, then we recommend doing the following before starting the game to ensure you can skip Nibelheim.
To skip the Nibelheim flashback, you need to:
- Go to Rebirth's main menu.
- Select the 'Bounses' option.
- Select 'Check Saved Data'.
- Play through Chapter 1 until you recieve a prompt asking you whether you wish to skip the Nibelheim section.
- Select 'Yes'.
Selecting 'Check Saved Data' scans your PlayStation 5 for any Final Fantasy 7 related save data, so you will also unlock any save carry over bonuses you're eligible for.
It's important to remember that this does not allow you to skip the entirety of Chapter 1 - only the Nibelheim flashback. You will still have to play through the sections of Chapter 1 which are not part of this flashback. Just remember to check your saved data and select 'Yes' when the game asks you to!
Good luck in your Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth adventure!
