    Not happy about this segmented releases of FF7 Remake. They're just milking the game so much. Intergrade feels and plays exactly as a FF7R DLC but asking for full price. Game still has the same issues as FF7R when it comes to pacing and other things.

    Didn't like Final Fantasy 7 remake, but I still thought I should try this.
    Pretty meh.
    Awful textures.
    Laughable writing.
    Very greedy for them to price this as full game. It's a very mediocre DLC.
    They'll just continue milking the franchise into parts and DLCs.

    Terrible remake of a classic game. I can't even begin to start on what's wrong. In short they took a 8 hour start to a 50 hour plus game and loaded it with tropey boring chores. Nothing about this is done right other than a decent soundtrack. Do not support this game.

    Atrociously overpriced. Not only is this a remake of a game that came out ages ago, it has also been out for SIX MONTHS already on PS5.

    This is NOT WORTH IT. Don't believe the hype. This is the same game with new graphics, and Square is just trying to capitalize on the name. I'm a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, but this is just too much greed for me. Since they decided to price gouge on release, I'd suggest waiting for it hit $30, and grab it then. No need to get this right away.

    I'd pause to consider, even if this was Final Fantasy 16. $60 is plenty for a AAA title, and nowadays you need to pay an extra $30 for the "season scam pass" just to get the full game.

    Square just turned the greed up to 11. Don't take the bait.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is now the single biggest disappointment in my 35-year history of gaming. I played the original on pc back in 2000, so my opinion on the remake was coming from high expectations since it's been 20 years since the original and I've played every installment since then and they keep getting better. Personally, this was my #1 most anticipated title for the PS5, and is now an overwhelming letdown.

    Spoilers & old-man-stick-shaking ahead:

    First, of all, I must be an idiot because I didn't realize that this isn't the whole game/story of FF7. I admit I avoided all trailers & reviews before playing it, but it's not like the title is "FF7:RI, PART ONE" unless "Intergrade" means "Part 1" & I don't know it? So I was massively disappointed to figure that out by playing up to that point and then getting slapped in the face with that insane reveal: To Be Continued...

    Second, in my first playthrough 20 years ago, I made 2 mistakes in that playthrough:
    One, I didn't know the twist, so I was beefing up Aerith without the knowledge that you lose her. I lost some great materia and armor that Aerith had equipped and there was no getting it back when she died unless you load up an old save point - but the twist was worth totally it, and it taught me a valuable lesson.
    Two, I totally rushed through the game in my first playthrough so when I got to the end with Mother & Sephiroth, which is a point-of-no-return, so I was severely underpowered with no chance to win. After multiple losses, I admitted total defeat & had to roll back to a manual save point, which meant I lost hours & hours and had to grind to get to be powerful enough to have a fighting chance at the end; in hindsight, I deserved it because the original wasn't a game to rush through. All in all, I loved the original and probably played it start-to-finish 3 or 4 times.

    So... this run through, I've been anticipating the coming loss of Aerith so I neglected her and opted to use other characters whenever possible. Only now do I know that there's no point to have done that because in this version, up to the cliffhanger, she's still alive so I could've been using her the whole goddamn time.

    I was extremely disappointed in so many things about this Remake - I expected much more depth & dimension to the world and missions but everything was still mostly like the original - pretty much going point A-to-B-to-C with little option to stray from the main story's path. Also, seeing that it's been a quarter of a decade since the original, I was hoping for an upgrade in the Materia Summon animations, but I felt like they were actually a step backwards from the original. The OG FF7 had eyepopping visuals (compared to everything else in that ancient era of gaming) and I felt like the Remake was good but not mind-blowing for what gaming is capable of today.

    I was hoping for extra dimensions to the game, like more enemies, a wider variety in armor, weapons, & abilities, or perhaps crafting; maybe they are there and I didn't explore everything, but I really feel like I traversed every back alley and tunnel and I completed every single useless side mission.

    I also feel like maybe not all the story beats were covered - all the villains were not fully fleshed out, and Sephiroth, who was a hall-of-fame video game villain, one of the all-time greats, is just a shell of the original with little-to-no intimidation factor. How can we be through part one and not have a complete fear of Sephiroth at this point?

    Also, come on - you don't even get a chance to equip Red XIII to your party? Seriously?!

    There were so many mini-games in the original which maybe you don't get to until the next half, but, with all the lackluster and hollow gameplay up to this point, I'm so disappointed that I've lost all desire to play the next installment unless its a PS Plus freebie.

    I guess I was just so hyped for the Remake since I played the original a full lifetime ago, and I was hoping to share this with my wife and kids and introduce them to a game I loved so much. This was just such a let down that, aside from a few cutscenes, so there wasn't much worth sharing.

    If this was your first experience with FF7 or you're a FF diehard fan, maybe you love this, but I feel embarrassed for wanting this game so badly, only to discover that this is just half of a mostly mediocre game. Nostalgia is a ****

    Go figure why the remake, while being a game 20 years later vastly better graphically, doesn't even succeed to reach at least the original game score, even here on this website ?

    This DLC, conveniently released barely a year after the remake title, do you will really think it can save this whole remake ?
    No, of course it's not... But it gives you the clear message of what this whole remake will be...
    A disappointing major title claimed to be a proper and faithful "remake" that is actually a mediocre subpar Final Fantasy title that does hold to its parents' legacy and now is (and will be) filled with rushed DLC at full-price every now and then, trying to milk money from those who, for some reasons, are happy of what the story of the legendary Final Fantasy 7 has been turned into... or those in denial of what the vast project of remaking FF7 has ended into, thanks to the revengeful shenanigan of some people who believes every story should be a Kingdom Heart "fight fate and destiny and fans' will into a 4th wall-breaking fight against boss and ennemis impersonating them as a big F-you".

    Intergrade is just the cheap sequel of a overwhelmingly sabotaged, disappointing remake.
    The first of its kind, and we can all bet, surely not the last, for from it...

    Graphics,
    Square Enix put a lot, and I mean a lot, of time and resources in making the characters look beautiful but everything is complete sh**. They literally put a JPEG in 1 area. But it does have great cutscenes and made a 2D world in 3D showing off more then what was originally there in the PS1 version.
    Sound,
    Has almost the same music as the PS1 version the difference is the Remake has more instruments.
    While the music is not bad the surrounding sounds, voices, etc. seem to not know which needs to be louder. You could be done with an objective and listening to what the game wants you to do next but you won’t be able to hear it over the people in the background talking about their day and how they hate the Shinra company, this way too often.
    Gameplay,
    Gameplay is 3rd person hack n’slash with a menu you can use to pause the fight so you can choose what magic or item you want to use. If you’ve played Kingdom Hearts, think of that but the menu can pause the fight. Playing through isn’t bad but if you want to grind like some people like to do so they can be ready for the next fight, you can’t, well sort of. You can grind but have to go to a simulator to have a better chance to level, you can grind outside but the respawn rate of these enemies is fairly long.
    The good is
    Story,
    It follows the same story as the PS1 version but makes a turn halfway through the game. SE added extra stuff in to pad the run time since this game is only from the beginning to leaving Midgar, if you played the original, you’ll know this is like 10% of the game. I spent most of my time on the mini game, Fort Condor.
    The difference in story comes like a dream, Cloud will go through the game like normal but will randomly see Sephiroth when in the original game he was never there. This begins the split in game because now you’ll be seeing ghosts. These ghosts come in when the story makes a change and tries to correct the story to the way it is suppose too. It later shows Sephiroth is behind this or at least ok with these changes.
    Intergrade Story,
    This story is taken from Yuffies point making her come to Midgar because she’s apart of a group to take down Shinra. This by the way never happened. This is really it; she goes to Midgar does something that ultimately doesn’t matter she then leaves to go home, this takes all of 30 mins.
    Overall,
    If you’ve never played Final Fantasy 7 and this is your first time with this story you won’t know any better, but at the same time you won’t know how the story is supposed to be and why it is being changed or what is being changed.
    For those who have played FF7 and enjoyed the game, you will not like this game or not enjoy what SE is doing to the game.
    Even if you enjoy the story the game is a very small part of what the original game is, if they follow the original story and change parts of it.
    I can see SE making many main games of this Remake just to make money. They already made 2 other games branching from this game.

Characters are unlikeable. Cloud and Aerith are awful. Secondary characters like Johnny and Kyrie get too much screen time and are more meme than human. There’s also an uncomfortable alliance with ‘The Trio’ even though they are sex traffickers. This game almost glorifies the villains, and the heroes just kinda suck.

    Environments are static and lifeless, there are next to no interactions, or world building. In fact there are numbers of opportunity to insert lore and it’s absent.

    The battle system is nothing but lame lizard brain gameplay, the original turn-based system was better.

Or maybe it's because of it. Sqare Enix expects you to pay more for the remake than the original ever was whilst offering less content, less playability, almost no post-game whatsoever and the outsight to pay even more for the upcoming parts god knows how many of them there will be. The only part in which the game delivers in abundance are the cutscenes, and boy do they take much space of the game. Well the problem is, i bought a game and not a CGI movie. I play games to have an active time, if i wanna sit passively on the couch i would have chosen to watch a movie or some series. I played the game together with a friend, there were numerous times someone got the controller handed just to lay it back down after holding it for ten minutes during another cutscene-fest. I know very well that cutscenes have been an important part in FF7, but the former parts usually had long stretches of free gameplay and freedom so the breaks were spread out widely and thus not interrupting the gameplay. The remake has barely any freedom in gameplay nor any interesting parts or longer stretches of pure playing, it basically feels like the game is playing you, only needing the player to get to the next loading zone starting another cutscene. I know many people view it differently, but for me cutscenes, no matter how many hours there are, are a small percentage of the whole presentation. So if it comes to rate the game, id give cutscenes a 10/10, which is great, but it only determines around five percent of the games overall rating, so you can put in as many hours as you want, it wont be a better game at the end, i dont care. I take the other 20 hours of the actual game and rate that accordingly, like the cutscenes wouldnt even exist, which leaves you with an absolute garbage game no one would even remotely think about giving a proper rating. Dont get fooled by eyecandy and looks, it drags you away from viewing things as they really are. Actual gameplay, as already mentioned, is streamlined to the max. There is not one situation in the game that needs your decisions, not even thoughts. Its as casual as it can get, feels terribly bland and its not worth at all diving into any builds for your characters, because your party isnt together anyway for the most part of the game. Dont even bother building one char as support, because chances are extremely high after the next cutscene this char will be removed from the party for another 8 hours (6 hours of cutscenes) and you need another character to do the job. Just build every char as allrounder so they can to everything on your own, it wont give you good damage or fun with different classes, but there are no real mechanics anyway that matter a lot in terms of fighting, the game, as mentioned, just needs you to get to the next cutscene, after that almost all your former gear gets useless anyway because you reached the new tier items without even realising. To the people that say "not every gamer enjoys the hardcore-postgame and grind, some just want have a relaxing gaming time after a days work" i will only reply: imagine getting home after a hard day, looking forward to play two hours of fine FF7 gameplay because thats all the precious time you got, then after those two hours you watched 103 minutes of cutscenes, spent 11 minutes in the menu trying to figure out if you need sth. for the upcoming fights and a whooping six minutes of actual gameplay. No thanks, how frustrating. Play Uncharted or the Last of Us if you wanna have a good casual gaming experience. For me the new FF7 experience is a true disappointment, and by shattering their masterpiece into pieces, Square Enix undoubtedly showed their only aim is to squeeze as much money out of it as possible. Have fun paying 400 bucks for a 5 piece set of CGI movies with some gameplay on top of it, im gonna play the original instead and celebrate a true game. Expand

    A bad action jrpg and the worst possible kind of "remake" ever made.
    The combact system is a braindead button smashing, the linear exploration is poor, the characters development are completely stereotyped, and the whole plot feels like a pudding and boring filler of the original game.
    Overall a game that doesn't have nothing of really remarkable, if we exclude the OST, and that is

    Nothing more than that.

    A boring and incomplete game.
    That's right. Because this is only the second times that they have released this incomplete Remake to the people.
    They just have plans for making more parts and more DLC of the game for years, just for milking to the worst extreme the original ff7 game. (witch, unfortunately, this wasn't his real remake, since Nomura have the brilliant idea to use the

    Well, sorry.
    But I've never asked for this sh/t

    One of the most terrible actions games I've had the misfortune to play. A bad Final Fantasy game.
    Very linear, very easy, monotonous, boring and with a plot so bad that it leaks everywhere...
    An overall very bad experience

    A terrible action game and a bad Final Fantasy game
    I was baffled by all the flaws that dominate the almost totality of this game.
    Because if we add the linearity of all the maps to the laughable and pointless rewritten plot, the stereotypical characters feels out of place and not believable at all...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake 358/2 Days Reboot
    Questo è il vero titolo del gioco.
    E cioè Final Fantasy 7 ridotto a pezzi, riscritto, e con una pesante skin di Kingdom Hearts che modifica anche gli eventi dell'originale.
    Pesssimo

    Il peggior Remake che io abbia mai avuto la sfortuna di giocare
    Una schifezza commerciale senza precedenti che, alla fine, prosegue la scia di distruzione dell'universo narrativo di FF7

    A second scam version of an already fake Remake
    The next time I surely don't going to waste my time with part 2

    A horrendous remake made by Square Enix to put another nail in the coffin of a dying franchise.
    Nomura menage to ruin a game with an already written plot and ruined the original good gameplay for make it more casual friendly....
    Pure trash, just like that ff16 garbage, Square isn't able to make new good Final Fantasy game today

    A boring action game and a dull Final Fantasy game
    First of all it's incomplete, and second it wasn't even a Remake in the first place.
    Why even bother to defend this fanfiction?
    Oh... yeah.... The fanservice right?
    LMAO

    Only who never played a Final Fantasy game in his whole life can consider this FF7 Remake trash the best.
    And if the current fandom accept this incomplete trash, there's no way to make this franchise good anymore...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade shows the correct way to conclude a console generation’s journey. But beware - the Intermission episode won’t really satisfy the hunger for the next instalment - on the contrary, your impatience will probably only increase.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a complete package, telling the story of Midgar from two different perspectives. Both the main campaign following Cloud and his journey, and Yuffie's own adventure, are well told with tight and responsive gameplay along with an impressive graphical update. These tales each leave exciting questions to be answered, and this reviewer can't wait to see what awaits Cloud and his friends beyond the City of Mako.

    Final Fantasy Remake Intergrade is technically impressive. Fixing many of the original release’s technical issues while also improving the game for next-gen hardware. INTERmission offers an excellent character edition with that of Yuffie with some excellent gameplay to boot. Intergrade is simply more of the best parts of Final Fantasy VII Remake.
