Should I finish the ff7 remake before Rebirth?

Yes, you absolutely should finish Final Fantasy VII Remake (and its Intermission DLC) before playing Rebirth; Rebirth is a direct story continuation and sequel, not a standalone game, and you'll be completely lost on major plot points and character motivations without playing Remake first. Think of them as two halves of one large game, so playing in order (Remake > Intergrade DLC > Rebirth) ensures you grasp the evolving story and character dynamics, especially regarding the timeline changes and Zack Fair.

Should you play Final Fantasy 7 Remake before Rebirth?

Yes, you absolutely should play Final Fantasy VII Remake (including its Intergrade DLC) before Rebirth; they are direct story continuations of a single epic, and skipping Remake will leave you confused about characters, events, and major plot points, as Rebirth assumes you know everything from the first game and even references it heavily. While Rebirth offers a "story so far" video, it's just a refresher for players who've already finished Remake, not a replacement for the experience, which is crucial for understanding the narrative and emotional weight of Rebirth.

Do you keep progress from FF7 Remake to Rebirth?

No, your character levels, gear, and materia do not carry over from Final Fantasy VII Remake to Rebirth, as each game is balanced separately and starts you fresh (around Level 15).

Can I skip FF7 Remake and play Rebirth?

You can play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth without Remake, as it includes a recap and starts you well-equipped, but it's highly recommended to play Remake first because Rebirth is the direct, middle part of a continuous story, diving deep into lore and character arcs you'll miss, especially regarding the new story deviations that rely on knowledge of the original FF7. Skipping Remake means missing crucial emotional investment and plot nuances, making some of Rebirth's "twists" less impactful, even with the built-in recap.

Can I play Rebirth without playing Intergrade?

No, you don't strictly need to play Intergrade (the Yuffie DLC) before Rebirth, but it's highly recommended because it introduces Yuffie and Sonon, explains their motivations, and directly sets up events referenced in Rebirth, making the story clearer and more impactful without skipping crucial context. It's short (two chapters) and enhances understanding of Yuffie's role and the game's new Synergy mechanics, so playing Remake > Intergrade > Rebirth is the best way to experience the story.

For a first "complete run" Rebirth has more than 3 times of Remake's playtime, might actually reach 4 times. Though most of it is side content. Only counting the main story, it's more of 1.5 times multiplier. I strongly disagree with the "padding" of Remake, as that game was imo.
