Question: Do you continue from part 1?

[Shazzi]

Anyone who has played. Do you continue from part one meaning keep materia levels ect? Its a determining factor if i buy.

Also whats the world map roaming like? never could figure out how they would do it.

[mjuarbe19]

no its a standalone game so nothing from Remake transfer over if you do have a complete remake save you do get 2 extra materias but they suck honesty

[Tenchuu Khan]

No, you are well served though so umm....you get the basic materias and start from 0 really, it's more like 14 or so - can't remember the initial level.

Bottom line, no - whatever you achieved in FF7R won't be taken over unfortunately.

[Tenchuu Khan]

IF however you have a savegame on your disc you'll get granted some DLC content like summon materia, so before starting, maybe re-download the other game as well and let the cloud sync do its job - the game will tell ya what you get then

Levels and items are reset, but battle mechanic very quickly becomes to feel closer to the endgame of Remake, you get most of the tools way quicker in early game

You do not keep what you achieved in Remake + Integrade
It is not an open world game like Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc.
The roaming is what I call pseudo-open world, meaning that Gaia is partitioned into zones for you to explore, like Kalm region, Junon region, Corel region, etc, but they are so MASSIVE that it honestly feels like an open world game. Each area is so big that I often get overwhelmed whenever I enter a new region, but it's really fun to explore, for me at least.

The extra summons are useful if you don't want to swap them every time your party changes

This question is so common it makes me think there are a lot of sequels that allow you to start the game fully leveled.

I cannot think of a single game that does this because it would be incredibly game breaking. Who set the precedent so people would actually believe this was an option?

I was concerned they'd do away with the overworld (actually my #2 concern after story) in Rebirth, but what they came up with was very satisfying and beyond expectation. So that part is pretty cool :)

You don't start out fully naked but your specific progression choices do not carry over from the previous game. I would say that your starting equipment/items/materia in Rebirth are a bit more in line with where the party were at at that point in the original FF7 albeit with a small selection of summons, rather than being about two thirds of the way to godhood like you would have been toward the end of Remake.
