Rebirth Forces Players to Endure Some Inescapable Flashbacks
-
While you can skip a major chunk of the flashback after playing the demo, Rebirth will still force you to play the opening and conclusion of Cloud's traumatic memories.
-
Be careful when skipping cutscenes - if you skip the scene where Sephiroth walks into the flames, you may accidentally skip Cloud's confrontation with Sephiroth in the reactor, which is essential to the story.
-
The demo lets you skip a large section of the opening scene, but you'll still need to play portions of Cloud's flashback when starting Rebirth.
-
Even if you finished the demo, you'll still have to play the opening and end of the Nibelheim flashback.
-
Rebirth's story is a major highlight for many fans, so take care not to accidentally skip important story content if you're eager to progress.
