Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: How to skip Nibelheim Chapter 1 demo mission

The Nibelheim mission in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was featured in its entirety in the FF7 Rebirth free demo. The iconic flashback is a memorable moment but players who’ve already experienced it might not want to play it again. So, here’s how to skip the Chapter 1 Nibelheim mission in FF7 Rebirth.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is finally here, bringing with it another story-rich chapter based on the classic 1997 RPG. FF7 Remake reintroduced players to the lovable gang of Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and Aerith, and now, FF7 Rebirth sees the continuation of their tale.

As is the case with Final Fantasy games, players can expect a ton of content that extends far beyond the main story missions. Speaking of which, many players will have likely experienced the opening few hours of the game, including the Nibelheim mission, through the game’s free demo.

So if you’re looking to save some time and dive further into the game, here’s how to skip the Nibelheim mission in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

FF7 Rebirth: How to skip Nibelheim mission

To skip the Nibelheim quest in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, go to the ‘Bonuses’ section in the main menu and select the ‘Check Saved Data’ option. If you have completed the Nibelheim portion in the demo, selecting this option will grant you the Kupo Charm and Survival Set as rewards, and let you skip the section in the game.

It’s important to keep in mind that you’ll still have to play through the opening section of the mission before skipping it. This involves exploring Nibelheim as Cloud, climbing the water tower, and more. Shortly after meeting up with Tifa, a prompt asking if you’d like to skip to the village section will pop up.

The skip option lets you move past the entire Mako reactor investigation, saving you at least an hour of gameplay time. So, if you’ve already experienced this section in the demo, it’s well worth skipping it.

That was how to skip the Nibelheim mission in FF7 Rebirth. For more on the game, check out:
