    Boom, Baby! This remake is a fantastic continuation and expansion of FFVII Remake: adding to Final Fantasy VII’s legacy as one of gaming’s most important cornerstones to ever come out of Japan.

    The game still has all the good stuff from the PS4 release, and then some extra stuff with the Yuffie chapter. What’s not to like here? If you played the last one, you can carry your data over
    Boom, Baby! This remake is a fantastic continuation and expansion of FFVII Remake: adding to Final Fantasy VII’s legacy as one of gaming’s most important cornerstones to ever come out of Japan.

    The game still has all the good stuff from the PS4 release, and then some extra stuff with the Yuffie chapter. What’s not to like here? If you played the last one, you can carry your data over without fail, and it backtracks your story-based trophies too. Though it’ll become a little tricky making sure you’re up to speed with BOTH the PS4 and PS5 versions (if you haven’t finished the prior version completely) in terms of the Trophies; that’s one thing that could be addressed if it hasn’t already, as in PS5-to-PS4 data transferring so as to make things a little less cumbersome.

    Final Fantasy remains a strong and completely relevant, important franchise in gaming and still innovates in the J-RPG scene with every release.

    I remember when I was in my teenage years and my Dad and I used to stay up late and play ff7 on psx, yup those were the good old days of gaming! And now that I'm an adult on my 40s and waiting years to see a this masterpiece of a remake brings joy to my heart and memories! Epic all the way and a perfect game deserves a perfect score.

    I've read the complaints and disagree with them about textures and graphics. Yes this game has some blurry textures but I don't expect perfection. It also has some weird story plots, but hey, it's a Final Fantasy game and overall it kept me entirely engaged the whole time.

    I will also reiterate that the music is absolutely hands down superb. The art direction as well is something else worth talking about.

    All in all, great story, endearing and beloved characters, and an amazing game.

    I am a big fan of the original and this new remake has done a great job remaking most aspects of the original game and also changing things that were outdated. Absolutely Enjoyed this game and looking forward to play part 2 and 3

    Somehow they managed to do a worthy remake the bar has been set high! GOTY 2020! The Yuffie DLC is also a great addition. Sets the next installment up nicely.

    This game has re-established its identity as JRPG without losing the original charm.
    There is no doubt that best final fantasy for original fans.
    And for newcomer, Best final fantasy in the last decade.

    I didn’t expect it to be more than a 7/10, like where it’s cool enough to be worth playing but nothing amazing. I love it though, and I’m not even a FF7 fanboy. The demo was interesting but I barely beat it because I struggled with combat.

    It’s very cinematic. I was caught off guard by how much I actually got caught up in the drama and excitement of the story. And the city is AMAZING. I couldn’t stop looking around at how cool the city looks. You can always see how absolutely gigantic it is. Overall, it’s a beautiful game on PS5. They put a lot of love and effort into making the world feel special.

    I expected the music to be kind of generic orchestral stuff, but they use a good variety of interesting music that I found myself impressed by. I played with a headset and highly recommend it.

    Combat gets more fun as you earn more materia and level their skills up. It can be difficult on normal difficulty, but don’t let that discourage you. The game is so cool that it’d be a shame to miss the experience...just play it on easy.

    Is it worth $70? It’s supposed to be a 35-50 hour game, depending on how much time you want to get out of it, so you’ll have to decide for yourself. I highly recommend it, but also you should be aware that it’s very linear (just like the Midgar section in original FF7). You can explore and find items because maps still have side passages, etc. but if you absolutely hate linear games, be aware this is one.

    To me it’s an awesome, cinematic experience. Some of the dialogue is corny but a lot of the voice acting is charming. If you buy it, I hope you love it too!

This game on ps5 is the best game on ps5 by a long shot and I own all the ps5 upgraded titles there are. Ratchet is great but its same old ratchet under the hood. This...this is special. Modern and nostalgic in equal doses. Fleshed out characters (largely from the movie a few years back. Just epic. Loved every minute, and not a single bug did I bump into.

    Absolute must own. Instapurchase.

    Basically this is the same game as the ps4 2020 release on the ps5, obviously the graphics are slightly better and it runs better on the ps5, the big difference is that you get to do yuffies side quest which runs alongside the events of the first game, it’s only an additional 3 chapters but it’s great and adds a further layer of depth to the world and character building, personally IBasically this is the same game as the ps4 2020 release on the ps5, obviously the graphics are slightly better and it runs better on the ps5, the big difference is that you get to do yuffies side quest which runs alongside the events of the first game, it’s only an additional 3 chapters but it’s great and adds a further layer of depth to the world and character building, personally I really enjoyed what it added to the already fantastic storyline from the first instalment, I played the entire game again to get the ps5 platinum trophy and again like I said massively enjoyed it again, it’s a great game an one I recommend to any final fantasy fan, especially if you like 7.

    Si ya en PS4 te maravillaba visualmente y su gameplay exquisito, con las mejoras en texturas y los 60fps todo es infinitamente mejor. A eso le sumas el DLC de Yuffie y el final extendido, y tenés un juego que te hará emocionar y compenetrarte con sus personajes como pocos. Un de mis juegos favoritos de toda la vida y este, el mejor remake jamás hecho según mi consideración

    The best Final Fantasy game i have played since FF10. Highlights are music, art direction and combat system. The DLC was fun and Yuffie's combat is probably my second favorite after Tifa.
    I had already played the original version, Intergrade only made the game better. The battle system was truly fantastic even on PS4, but PS5 running it at 60fps made it even better.

    I loved FFVIIR on PS4, and these PS5 enhancements are fantastic -- the definitive way to play. As for the big Yuffie "InterMission" expansion -- I love Yuffie and knew I'd enjoy this, but it has far exceeded my expectations. The new music, sophisticated combat mechanics, phenomenal voice casting, and more really deal the deal.. I cannot wait for the next thing!

    I think it's amazing how they were able to use every moment of the game as a stepping stone tutorial to make you become better and better all the way up to the end. Then even still you will find yourself learning more and more.

    For the Intermission DLC, it is a high quality one which does good introducing a nice character and got a fair amount of challenge for the trophy hunters.

    Una versión mejorada en texturas, resolución y otros pequeños detalles de un titulo que ya de base era muy bueno,
    Su contenido extra con Yuffie añade unas cuantas horas mas bastante divertidas y de bastante calidad. Muy recomendado.

    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.
