    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the definitive version of one of the best games ever made, and the inclusion of a new story chapter makes it that much more worthy of the title. In 2029, when the second half of the remake finally comes out, Square Enix will have (hopefully) figured out how to incorporate the DualSense 5 controller a little better, but by then, we might be talking about the DualSense 6, and the game will be uploaded to and played solely within our minds, so it may not matter anyway.

    INTERmission is a classy addition to one of last year’s best games, which itself runs a little better now on PS5. It’s great to see Yuffie again, brought up-to-date to match the rest of the cast and providing her uniquely wide-eyed perspective on Midgar. We’re ready to move on from the great city now, but this is a fine farewell party.

    It is a pleasant surprise to find in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade a game that takes advantage of the new generation of consoles, in this case, the PS5. The game loads amazingly fast, both the performance and the graphics options look flawless and the Yuffie expansion is an entertaining addition to the product.

    Final Fantasy VII Intergrade proves that Square Enix can make the most of its past to produce such a quality game that we can't wait to see the sequel.

    Overall, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a solid package. It's not quite worth buying at full price if you've already played the original, but the upgraded original game and the DLC combine to create an excellent experience. Remake still holds up as a really fun game a year later, and Yuffie's side story shows that the developers still have plenty of ideas on how to keep the combat fresh for a sequel. If this is your first time playing Final Fantasy VII Remake, then Intergrade is absolutely the version to get.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake, only a year old, gets a next-gen remake, and the results are visually stunning. The new Yuffie-based Intermission chapter is a ton of fun, and its lighter tone demonstrates ways that the Remake saga can move away from the sullen tone of the first game. Bouncy and full of life, Yuffie brings some much needed levity to the proceedings, shining a new light on the game as a whole.

    Intergrade not only reintroduces a fan-favorite character ahead of her fated meeting with Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, and Barrett, but it also lets us play with a few new mechanics and fleshes out a little more of the periphery of the main game’s narrative.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake was my first game in the series and the Intergrade version is the definitive way to experience this game.
    Here are my    Final Fantasy VII Remake was my first game in the series and the Intergrade version is the definitive way to experience this game.
    Here are my thoughts on Final Fantasy VII Remake:
    The story is good in my opinion and even though the ending is divisive, I liked it personally and I think that it's too early to criticize it.
    The characters are some of the most engaging and likable characters I've seen in a while, and even some minor side-characters surprised me a lot.
    The combat system is excellent! It's like a combination of Hack 'n' Slash & Turn Based at the same time, there are 4 completely different party members to control, tons of different skills, items and builds to use, it's deep and organic, it feels awesome and it looks phenomenal! The RPG elements are executed well and the Materia system is just wonderful.
    The bosses are some of the best I've ever encountered in a videogame.
    The music is fantastic for sure and it fits the visuals perfectly, and the visuals are breathtaking; the lighting, the animations, the textures and the setting are some of the best I've seen in a while.
    Also, the set pieces and the visual representation are absolutely top-tier! Some cutscenes look like they are out of a CGI movie and there are so many jaw-dropping moments.
    Lastly, the Intergrade version includes the INTERmission DLC, which is a cool addition to get to know an upcoming character for the Remake series.
    I do have few minor complaints with the game though; some chapters feel significantly longer than they should've been, and the side-quests are uninteresting for the most part.

    Pros:
    + Interesting story
    + Awesome characters
    + Flawless gameplay
    + Incredible music & boss fights
    + Absolutely gorgeous visuals
    + Outstanding set pieces
    + DLC

    Cons:
    - Pacing issues in some instances
    - Weak side-quests

    Narrative: 7/10
    Gameplay: 10/10
    Content: 8/10
    Characters: 10/10
    Music: 10/10
    Graphics/Audio: 10/10

    Final Rating: 10/10
    - Masterpiece -
    Final Fantasy VII Remake isn't just a masterfully crafted Remake, but it's undoubtedly one of my favorite games on the PS4 and PS5, and one of the best videogame experiences I've ever had.

    Do I recommend it?:
    Yes, to both fans and newcomers.    … Expand

The game expands on the story with what Yuffie was doing before meeting the main group of Cloud and friends. The combat stays the same but with a new mechanic team combat.

    Good game, but definitely overrated and way inferior than the original. It is also not a "remake", but a "reboot" or a "reimagining" of FFVII,Good game, but definitely overrated and way inferior than the original. It is also not a "remake", but a "reboot" or a "reimagining" of FFVII, with important changes in the story. It is also important to note that this is not the whole experience, but the 1st part of what it might become a trilogy.

    Technically its a marvel, and the OST is one of the best of all time. However, none of this is important considering the game that it "remakes". Everything that is taken from the original game stands out, amd few elements are even improved (more screentime for secondary characters gives depth). But unfortunately, many elements have been either dragged on (to infinity) or dumbed down.

    Story changes aside (there are many, specially towards the end, but they are kinda subjective), the lenght of the game is artificially increased by adding terrible secondary tasks and making irrelevant areas longer (destroyed highway or Hojo's lab for example).

    Combat is way less strategic than the original, and battles get repetitive even against bosses (some of them can take up to 30min). The camera is also bad, and we are often unable to tell what is even happening, specially with lots of enemies, flying foes or huge bosses. Summonings are great, but they don't appear many times. Overall, less challenging and deep than the old turn-based system.

    The PS5 version is definitely the way to go, as 60fps and improved loading times are a gamechanger. The DLC is nice (a bit too short though) and introduces the old character of Yuffie to this new version of the story. Good game but drastically overrated just because of its name.    … Expand
