Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is just over a month from releasing, and fans are finally seeing some of its features. The remastered FF trilogy has been something fans are most excited about from Square Enix. As the game draws near, the developers are slowly disclosing some of its features, and one particular aspect with respect to traversal is getting a lot of praise.
Along with the beautiful landscapes of the map and hi-def remastered designs, other features have caught the attention of fans. But the one that’s truly got fans pumped is fast travel. Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man 2 redefined fast travel. The fats travel in FFVII Rebirth is not too far off.

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.
Square Enix showed off the fast travel in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
It's not like Spider-Man 2 where you can pick any point on the map and jump in, but it's still extremely fast once you pick a landmark! pic.twitter.com/mo2SEQaC1B

There is still one key difference between the two games. In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, players directly spawn at the target location. Unlike in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, players enter the frame with the web wing animation.
The clip showcases how large of a map Square Enix has decided to put in Rebirth. Players can pick a landmark location and reach there instantly in a matter of seconds. This makes the game more fun to progress as players don’t waste large chunks of time walking around the map to get the real action started.

The top comment was by the original post maker, who stated that they “can’t wait to explore every inch of this map.”
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues to look stunning.
This is a "drop everything else I'm playing to play this game" game. It has been awhile since I've been this excited about Final Fantasy.
I can't wait to explore every inch of this map.

While there was no special credit given to the fast travel’s quickness here, the user was happy that it was implemented. Furthermore, they described the map size as “Massive” and seemed happy with how the game would turn out.
A traditional fast travel is better than nothing! I’ll take it! Also this map looks MASSIVE compared to part one.

One user spoke about how if the game has a fast travel option, it indicates how large the map must be.
If you can fast travel then that means this map is really fairly huge

This user attributed the fast traveling time to the enhanced technology of SSDs compared to slower load times on HDDs.
The power of SSD!
