Oh yeah I forgot XVI did that. I actually just started over again when I got the full game lol. I'll do the same with Rebirth. I'll just have to resist playing the demo over and over again so I don't make myself sick of it.
I always view the save transfer demos as a early start so I can get into the main game immediately when it releases. I really enjoyed that in XVI

I just really want to play with materia and mix and match some different builds. See if Barret still holds up as the GOAT healer.

The demo from a few months ago didn't allow materia swapping in the Junon section iirc, so don't expect being able to do this. Hopefully they changed things tho

I snagged a grab of the demo description from PSN just to show the wording and contents better.

Yup, the way he acts throughout is a dead give away for those in the know.

I'm so freaking excited for this!

It's funny because I was excited for Remake, but less so because I had so much going on, I have some time to really sink my teeth into this!

So, Masters of Era, does anything from my FF7R save file carry over to this new game?
We'll see. If it's the exact same public demo that's been around since last year, I would say no. If it's slightly beefier, meaning some decorum (introduction, cinematics) with the Nibelheim flashback, in other words the beginning of the game uncut, then maybe?

If the save carries to the full game then cool. If not then I don't see the point? the full game is around the corner.

I hope we have a full party at some point in the demo so we can truly push the upgraded combat system! To say I'm hyped would be an understatement!

Yep, I am half kidding myself that I will not play this due to the release being so soon (and also working through P3!) but I know after the State of Play I will be straight onto it.

No save transfer makes this a hard pass. I'll wait three more weeks. It's not like it seems the game plays any different from Remake.

That's confirmed? If so then I'm skipping too I think, already on a blackout so no point in jumping in now. Although my skills with combat could really do with a touch up. Played Intermission recently and when I went to try the main game again I had completely forgotten how to play it. But I suppose Rebirth has to have a tutorial and has new aspects to it so I'll just wait.

It's not confirmed at all, if anything the current evidence makes save transfer more likely.

Omg the open-world section is included!!

I used to pray for moments like this.

Also do we know if there'll be a day-night cycle? I swear I've seen the Junon area in two different times of day

Yeah we have seen Junon in different time of the day so we do know there is multiple time of the day. Is it real time cycle? Probably not.

its not actually cloud - its zack, but cloud is retelling the story as if it was him.
Thank you very much !
I thought it was something bigger than that.

Maybe that's why the light are dimmer in the screen above, there's no way to see if it's one or the other on the darker screen

So I got a friend who's never played the OG FF7, but has played Crisis Core and FF7Remake.
I'm starting to wonder if the flashback from his point of view is a big spoiler or not. Either way, he's going to play that section and have questions potentially. It's been a while since I last played Crisis Core. Did they go over that detail? That particular reveal from OG FF7?

A demo for the final half of a remake is a weird old concept.

I haven't played the games but does stuff carry over and does it carry through the demo or just a standalone demo? Because that's a really interesting concept.

First half, transfer to demo, then transfer demo to second half.

I am not sure if I understood what you are saying here but if I am reading it right....

This is 2nd game of the trilogy, so not the final game.

Each game is considered a standalone games, which means your progression doesn't carry over with each game. (outside of bonus item you get for having the save file) Each game everyone start fresh.

So there isn't any sort of save transfer in terms of transferring your actual stats and progression between the games. Maybe the demo itself will have save transfer to the full game of the demo, but we don't know yet atm.

Oh. Fair enough. Didnt know that. I would have thought money and XP would transfer between titles.

Ah, okay.

That revelation just did some psychic damage, I won't lie. 😄

At chapter 16 on FF7R…. And i don't like it. :-/
Trying my best to finish it, but doubt i'll manage it.

0 hype for Rebirth, but happy for those who are.
