Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will also utilize Fast Travel to help players get around the map more easily. The post showcased a clip of a player performing Fast Travel in the game and, impressively; it takes them there without any delay. The fact that the travel happens with a minimal loading screen reminds the original postmaker of how seamless the transition is seen in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
