Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2 is not simply a remake. It’s a conversation between eras, a testament to how far storytelling and technology have come, and a reminder that great stories never truly age but evolve. It honours its legacy without being shackled by it. It modernises without erasing history. It dazzles technically while grounding itself emotionally. Whether you’re stepping into Midgar for the first time or returning after decades, this version offers something rare: the feeling of discovery layered atop remembrance. If this is merely the opening act of the trilogy, then the future of Final Fantasy VII has never looked brighter or more ambitious. And somewhere, in the glow of neon and memory, the planet breathes a little easier knowing its story is still being told.

It is one of the finest modern myths we have. Chronos may rule time. But Supergiant Games understands eternity.

7 / 10.0 - Discounty
Jan 8, 2026

So to conclude! Discounty is not a power fantasy. It’s a maintenance fantasy, a game about holding things together in an imperfect system. Its mechanics reinforce its themes, its art supports its tone, and its narrative understands that sometimes the most meaningful stories are told quietly, through repetition and restraint.
