Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade

Final Fantasy VII Remake was one of the best games of 2020. I personally spent 200 hours with it, earning myself a really elusive Platinum Trophy for my ever-growing collection.

While we’re going to have to wait a bit longer for Part 2 to come out, we’ll be getting a little snacky snack to tide us over. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is an upgrade for the game exclusively for PS5.

If you own Final Fantasy VII Remake for PS4, you’ll be upgraded to the PS5 version for free. Once you do, you’ll be able to purchase the Yuffie story add-on for the game.

Now, I’m seeing a lot of sites misreporting this. But the Yuffie episode is not included in the free PS5 upgrade. Once you upgrade to the PS5 version, the Yuffie episode is available for purchase.

In case you aren’t familiar, or if you’re too young to have played the original (if Final Fantasy VII were a person, it would be old enough to drink at this point), Yuffie was an optional character you could add to your party — if you knew where to look.

This actually has huge story implications, because, as the trailer suggests, Yuffie will be coming to Midgar. Keep in mind that the gang doesn’t meet her in the original game until after they leave Midgar, so this is a new story we haven’t seen yet. Plus, Yuffie hails from Wutai, which is a super important detail. Remember that in the game, Shinra has been spreading anti-Wutai propaganda, perhaps setting up a second Wutai War.

As much as I’m champing at the bit to get to Nanaki’s story, and to see what Square Enix decides to do with Zach and Cloud’s backstory, I’m actually thrilled to get to spend more time with a high-resolution version of Yuffie. I’m also quite intrigued by the narrative of this new story chapter.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is due out for PS5 on June 10, 2021. You can watch the reveal trailer below.
