Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fast travel is particularly useful as you expand your adventure further across The Planet, as there are considerable distances to cover across the huge open world regions and doing that by foot would be impractical. Even once you start unlocking chocobos to ride, such as the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Piko mount, you don't want to trek everywhere manually – while you can make interesting discoveries as you explore the world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, there will be times when you just need to reach a destination quickly to move on with your quests. To help with this, here's how to unlock and use fast travel in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
How to use Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fast travel within regions
As you explore world regions you'll unlock Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fast travel points at various Places of Interest, such as Towers, Chocobo Stops, Intel locations, and other general landmarks. To jump to one of these quickly, open your Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth map and then move the marker over a location icon, where a prompt will appear under the name if you can fast travel to it. You can also press left and right on the d-pad to cycle through all of the available points, to help identify what's currently unlocked.
After following the prompt you'll be asked to confirm if you want to fast travel to that location. Occasionally you'll get the option to walk or travel by chocobo – though the only difference I can see is whether you arrive on foot or the back of your mount.
How to unlock Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fast travel between regions
While it's often possible to backtrack to previously visited regions on foot, this is a significant and time-consuming trek. Thankfully it's also possible to unlock Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fast travel between regions to speed it up.
The first opportunity for this is the Stuck in a Rut quest during Chapter 4, which can be started by speaking to Gabe at Gabe's Ranch at the location marked above in the Junon Region. This involves visiting a Wainwright then using your chocobo to sniff out materials so a new wheel can be constructed for Gabe's cart, but once that's done you can employ Gabe's services to transport you directly back to the Grasslands – for a price.
As you progress through the story, keep an eye out for other quests that unlock more modes of transport, so you can jump back and forth between the different regions with ease.
