I'm having the same issue. I can't figure out how to post a screen shot, but it has a small pop up on the top left saying "Failed to save data". I don't see any options to save locally. I tried saving manually and I get the same pop up.

It's already saving locally. It tries to put the saves in Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE\Steam\(big number). Does the "FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE" directory exist?

It could be that you are playing the game under some different account and that's confusing it. Or your C drive might be full (each save is about 9MB). Or you might have some anti-ransomware that protects the Documents directory from any program it doesn't know about.

Thanks for the suggestions! I found the game folder, but it didn't have the steam folder. I don't know why it would not create the steam folder for saving.

I don't have other accounts, I have plenty of hard drive space and I don't have any malware/ransomware protection app. This has me stumped. I just got a refund.

You might want to check if you have One Drive access allowed.
Seems that some users have issues with Document folder tied to One Drive.

This is not specific to FF7R, so might want to double check for future.
If no problem with other games, then all good. Just move on.

Figured out the issue. It was the Ransomware protection. I had to turn off the controlled folder access or allow certain apps control.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks!! Same Probrem, just activated "Ransomware Protection" in Windows like 2 weeks ago. Disabled it and I can save again. Thanks!
