Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy - Rebirth February 29, 2024.

Still no news on the PC version or fabled Xbox version. :( Starting to think this might be more than a timed exclusive.
 
Apparently the Yuffie DLC "Intermission" is free for PS4 owners of the game that also have a PS5. Needs to be downloaded separately though.

I was going to buy the DLC anyways but this is even better.


Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade offers an even more enhanced experience for a new generation of gaming as well as the new Yuffie DLC called Intermission. For those excited to see the new boss fights, returning characters, and a branching narrative that comes with Yuffie and the gang, just know that the Intermission DLC will be a separate download no matter the version purchased. Whether physical or digital, the Intermission DLC is a separate entity from Intergrade for those making hard drive space.

The Intermission DLC for Final Fantasy VII Remake adds two new chapters for players to enjoy as Yuffie Kisaragi begins her assault against Shinra within the city of Midgar. For PlayStation 4 players, there will be an Intergrade upgrade for free (though not for the version that was previously gifted as a PS Plus title), but the Yuffie DLC will not be available for PS4 players that do not have a PS5 console. For PlayStation 5 players, however, Intergrade will include Intermission at no additional cost, though the download will still be a separate digital item.

Should be automatic, but will download….
 
So haven't played the remake. I remember way back in the late 90s renting this game, but I'm not sure I even got past Midgar. I think either last year or year before I bout the PS3/4 version of the original and played through Midgar and a bit after before becoming bored with it. I really enjoyed the Midgar section though so I do plan on getting the Intergrade version of this some time. Is there plan to eventually release all of FF7 then in this style?

Yes, remake only goes up to the point you leave Midgar.

There will be subsequent remake parts released throughout this gen to complete the story.

Have you played the original? The Midgar area seemed fairly linear, but then afterwards opened up. Curious if future parts would be more open or if they would be more guided.

Yeah I beat the original.

Not sure what direction they're going for in part 2. They could decide to do what they did for the remake which was pretty linear or just make it open world. I suspect linear though because the scale may be too ambitious but never say never, right?

Nice! I was just looking into this! Glad I bought the disc version originally for my PS4 pro.
 
I can't wait to get off work tonight to start this. I've been looking forward to this for a while now. I hope the Yuffie quest line is woven into the main story and unfolds as I progress. It'll be cool as a separate expansion too. I just want to dive into the battle system and soak in the glorious visuals that are waiting to be seen.

I'm going through Yuffie DLC now, 60fps feels so good. The condor minigame is fun. I unlocked the tutorial and trying to beat them all already for the trophy lol.

I played last night for about 3 hrs and this is sooooo good. Its been a while since I've played a JRPG and I never played the original that this is remade from. But I love the cinematic feel the devs are going for here. The camera constantly switches angles to frame the gorgeous backgrounds which many games like this don't pay much attention to. If anyone has tried the Scarlet Nexus demo you'll know what I'm talking about when it comes to low res backgrounds. But it seems the devs spared no expense for this game and put a shine on everything.

I like that we can switch between the graphics options on the fly, no need to restart. Its the best way to see the differences. As expected graphics modes is super sharp but framerate drops to 30fps. I've come to like 60fps so I switched to that, even though this is not a high action game I prefer the smoother framerate.

I'm looking forward to diving deeper into the story. It appears I'm part a team of people bent on saving the planet from harmful technology controlled by an authoritarian government, sounds familiar. I can't wait to expand my party and experience even bigger battles. Speaking of battles its a alot more involved than I thought it would be. At times you have no choice but to switch to a different member of the group which means you have be familiar with all members moves and abilities. I'm going to need a party healer as soon as possible because some of the enemies hit very hard and healing with potions individually is not efficient.

Yes, that is everything that the story is and ever will be and do not turn to your search engine of choice to confirm that. Seriously, don't do it.

I won't do it, I want to experience this story as it plays out but from your post I assume some major changes have been made to the plot found in the original release.

For this Remake all I know so far is the game starts with Cloud's first mission for and with members of Avalanche to set off a bomb at the Mako reactor in Midgar. Avalanche appears to be some sort of eco-terrorist organization and there's a reference to Cloud being a former Shinra soldier. I'm interested in discovering more as I play though.
 
I don't know, usually it's the sexier version that gets cosplayed. More likely to get the bikini top version
We wait

My point was more that the story is a *HELL* of a lot more than that and it's f***ing tremendous and if you didn't play the original you damn sure don't want to be spoilered and since you're about literally the only person I've played any multi with in the past twenty years (Division 2, Salute agent) I hope you get to experience it as it was meant to be.

Tom at DF says it's one of the best PS5 upgrades to date.



-The doors have finally been fixed.
-Textures have been reworked in some key places.
-Added volumetric fog to the PS5 version on some places.
-The PS5 version runs in dynamic resolution of 3820x2160p at 30 fps locked in graphics mode and 2688x1512p at 60fps locked in perf mode.
-The only difference between the two modes is the resolution and the framerate, for the rest it's the same.
-The quality of the shadows has been improved in the whole game.
-SSR has been improved especially in puddles.
-Update of the skybox in Midgard.
-No LOD issue on PS5.
-Added bloom.
-Adaptive triggers support.
-Dark areas are now better lit thanks to the addition of light points.
-Loading times have been significantly reduced, 31 seconds on PS4 Pro against 1.3 seconds on PS5.

Don't know if any of you guys finished the Yuffie DLC yet but that ending cutscene shows

that Part 2 may just start right at Kalm. Does this mean Square Enix is not going to let you go free roam around? They might just keep the whole linear experience thing and move you from place to place using cutscenes.
