Map regions are big and seamless
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth might not be fully open world, but it sounds like some of the big maps you explore will still function that way. As one example, Hamaguchi said the Grasslands and Junon are labeled as separate regions on the world map. Despite that fact, players can still walk between them “seamlessly.” Final Fantasy VII Remake was a heavily partitioned game, which made sense for the claustrophobic confines of Midgar. It sounds like Rebirth will offer players a lot more freedom and open space to explore and feel immersed in the larger world.
