FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE is the expanded edition of the first entry in the FINAL FANTASY VII remake project and includes an additional story arc that takes place during the game’s events.

In FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE, players follow the story of ex-SOLDIER operative turned mercenary, Cloud Strife, as he lends his aid to the underground resistance group Avalanche in the mako-powered city of Midgar. In the fight against the shadowy Shinra Electric Power Company, Cloud and his comrades are thrust into a larger conflict to determine the fate of the planet. FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE also includes an exhilarating original story arc, FF7R EPISODE INTERmission, which brings Wutai ninja Yuffie Kisaragi to the forefront as she infiltrates the city of Midgar during the events of the base game.

Even in its attempts to swing big and do something different, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade respects where it’s come from. The classic's pro-revolutionary heart is still intact, and it’s never afraid to get a little weird and funny. The Switch 2 version makes impressively few compromises to get this gorgeous-looking game running on the system – even at 30fps, this looks and feels fantastic.
The fact that everything from the PS5 release is preserved in such excellent fashion here is remarkable, and it makes me excited (and anxious) about Rebirth’s incoming port.

I bought this game for my PS4 on it's original launch and never got around to playing it. Fast forward a few years and I double-dipped on the Switch 2 version of this game; bear in mind I have played the original and it was a great game... when it released years ago. This is Final Fantasy 7 in name and characters alone. If you enjoy the very slow and bloated parts of anime, then this game will find a warm spot in your heart, but if you prefer something that aligns with the more classic Final Fantasy games this really isn't that. It is a 7-10 hour game "crammed" into 40 hours. It's a very pretty game and I even enjoyed the action parts of the game, but the world traversal is atrocious! You can run, until there is an invisible "walk and be bored" section that absolutely ruins the pacing of the game. I did beat the game, due to having free time after a surgery. In short, the vast majority of this game feels like a lot of adjectives with very few nouns. I kept finding myself giving less and less effort as it went on and by the last chapters it couldn't end soon enough. If you really are considering this game then I wish you the best of luck, it was NOT the original and could have been a better game if they hadn't decided to fill it with more fluff than a down jacket.
