Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a big game, there is no denying that. It is pretty well-known that it is on two discs, which has never happened on a PS5 game. With that being said, there is plenty to explore in FF7 Rebirth from the remnants of Nibelheim to the plains of Junon. You won’t get tired of all the sights, but is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth open world?
Open world games have always been popular. This is thanks to the ability to openly explore the world at your leisure. Of course, there are also games like Ghost of Tsushima that break the world up into large sections. So what is Gaia like in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth? Is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth open world?
Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth open world?
No. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is not a true open-world game. While it may seem so based on gameplay and trailers, the game is actually more like Final Fantasy XVI in terms of world style. It offers large, open regions for you to explore but these regions are broken up by story elements. While you are completing the story in an area like Junon, you are free to explore the region, completing side missions and challenges in the process. You are even able to fast travel to areas within the same region.
Despite everything not being available right away in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, this actually works out better for the story. After all, there are events that take place in the game that you could trigger early otherwise, breaking the continuity of the world. Other events could potentially bar you from entering an area as well until a specific time.
Trust us when we say there is plenty to explore and a whole cast of characters to play as. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth offers plenty to experience even without it being a true unimpeded world.
