Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Reviews
If you love Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Remake, this game was made for you — literally. It expands upon character motivations, adds backstory, creates new relationships both good and bad, and finally, it lets us play as a fan-favourite character who is the polar opposite to the main game’s aloof, Buster Sword-wielding spiky boy.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is a must-have game for any player. Intergrade further enhances this package, offering a very polished technical look with beautiful graphics. The novelty is the Episode INTERmission which, despite not being exactly mandatory, offers a new story, some new elements in combat and plenty of challenges. It's not exactly short in content, but its price is slightly above what it offers.

Episode INTERmission is a fun few hours most Final Fantasy fans will enjoy. That being said, its short length and uncertain future make this DLC a hard sell at its current price point.
FF7R Episode Intermission is a perfect content drop to tide people over for the long wait until part 2 will release. It shows us some of the events from the main game from a different perspective, let’s us play with a completely new combat style, has plenty of side content to keep busy with and even teases some major things for the sequel. I’ve really only got one complaint and that’s that I wish it lasted longer and had a bit more story content.
The definitive version of a great game, one that complements and builds on the original classic rather than supplant it and the DLC only strengthens that, with a great battle system and soundtrack and an engaging group of characters.

Both Intergrade, with all its glossy bells and whistles, and Yuffie’s engaging and well-paced story in INTERmission are a worthwhile investment if you own a PS5. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the definite edition of the game.
a top-notch piece of DLC that's much more riveting than I was anticipating
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the best way to experience the monumental ARPG and its Episode Intermission is a top-notch piece of DLC that's much more riveting than I was anticipating. I recommend it to anyone who's even remotely interested.
“FF VII Remake Intergrade on Switch 2 is a solid port, a dream come true for those waiting to experience Cloud's adventure in the palm of their hand.”

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on the Switch 2 is a strong port that knows its limits and mostly stays within them. It doesn’t reach the visual or performance highs of the PS5 version, but it also avoids the worst compromises seen on older hardware. The experience remains intact, and portability changes how easy it is to live with its flaws. Fingers crossed that FF7 Rebirth makes its way to the platform soon.
The Switch 2 is now my console of choice for playing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, and it's still one of the best RPGs of all time.
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.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is a strong technical showcase for the Switch 2, and a promising indicator for more third-party titles in the future.
INTERGRADE’s PS5 release may still be the greatest in terms of technical performance, but the Switch 2 port is a superb choice that balances story depth, combat depth, and graphic excellence. It’s a great way for new fans of the series to get into it and for old fans to relive their favorites. Once again, Square Enix has brought Midgar to life, but this time it’s in the palm of your hand.
Final Fantasy VII REMAKE INTERGRADE works because it knows how to be careful. The story is told in depth within a single part instead of all at once. Each method helps the characters get better, the plots get more interesting, and the people stay involved. It doesn't feel like too much; it feels planned.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is a technical masterpiece, from the neon-soaked streets of Sector 7 to the buttery smooth combat transitions. Whether you're a returning Soldier or a newcomer to Cloud's journey, this "Intergrade" package is exactly what the Switch 2 needed!
Square Enix delivers an outstanding port of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade with beautiful graphics and a locked 30fps performance target. The Midgar story remains one of the best ever in an RPG and nicely sets up the rest of the trilogy, which is also expect to land on Nintendo Switch 2.
Final Fantasy VII REMAKE Intergrade proves that the Nintendo Switch 2 is indeed capable of hosting large-scale productions without significantly compromising the experience. The recreation of Midgar is immersive, the combat system is one of the most refined in the franchise, and the expanded narrative gives new weight to already known characters and events. Even with minor technical slips and occasional limitations, especially in portable mode, the package delivered is robust, competent, and respects the grandeur of the original work.

There’s a huge amount to enjoy about the game, be it the exciting combat, impressive presentation, highly endearing cast, fascinating adjustments to the original tale, or detailed realisation of Midgar.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is a monumental conversion on Nintendo Switch 2: the perfect way to enjoy a truly mammoth video game, capable of reworking one of the best games ever in a modern key, with some new and perhaps even controversial aspects. It's a shame about the price: after all these years since its launch, one might have expected a substantial discount.
