In the end, INTERmission is some pretty fun gaming, but it’s not worth spending another $60 on Intergrade unless you’re actually interested in replaying the game on PS5.

A faulty and barebones PC port of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, which was originally released on the PlayStation 5.

Final Fantasy VII Remake INTERmission offers a short introduction into the world of Yuffie Kisaragi, which most players can easily skip. The lack of new elements to the main game and the short and generic trip through midgar, make it really hard to recommend this DLC, even with all the technical benefits from the PS5 Upgrade.

For $19.99 USD, there is not enough here to make Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade – Episode: INTERmission worth it. Yuffie is incredibly fun to play as, and has so much utility on the battlefield; but her time in the sun is extremely short lived. The bonus scene at the end is not worth the the price of admission, and will only frustrate fans of the real Final Fantasy VII.

If you loved VII Remake, it's hard to imagine you not enjoying this episode. But if you haven't been able to find a PS5 or don't want to pay extra for it, you're not missing out on too much, either. Episode Intermission feels like a nice, bite-sized snack to munch on while waiting for the next main course with the second part, providing just enough new wrinkles and story elements to feel fresh while not doing anything crazy enough to warrant it as essential.

The occasional moments of tonal dissonance stick out, but they don’t necessarily hurt the experience. And it can’t be underestimated how great it is to have a game that’s very much an allegory about Asian people fighting to be heard, and with two Asian voice actors actually playing the leads. Still, the episode is titled quite accurately. At five-to-seven hours, Episode INTERmission isn’t quite filler, but it’s also not entirely filling. It’s an appreciable detour on a much longer journey.

FF7 Intergrade is a good way for neophytes to discover this remake on PS5. Visually very clean and in constant 60fps, we feel that a background work has been done to prepare the future part 2 on the Sony console. However, it is clear that the INTERmission DLC does not allow you to learn much more about the newly set up story in the first part.

The new episode in Final Fantasy 7 Remake has a few fun character beats, but ultimately feels like a thin, unnecessary stopgap for the next real installment.

‎Where Final Fantasy VII Remake just missed some points to be a masterpiece in our eyes, the Intergrade DLC elevates quite a bit. Hopefully Square Enix will be able to keep that up, and they will be able to curb the length of the next two games. Still, we enjoyed ourselves for the most part, and the interesting and special story of the base game manages to hold us enough to get us all the way through the game.‎

Final Fantasy VII Remake just got even better. With the new options in the free PS5 upgrade, you can choose between graphics and performance. The new DLC adds about 5 hours of gameplay starring Yuffie for a reasonable price. It's long enough and it adds enough, but just not enough to buy the entire package anew if needed.

Episode INTERmission is a great letter of introduction for Yuffie and the skills she will have -we assume- in episode 2 of this great project that is the remake of Final Fantasy VII. She will make a great pair with Sonon, both narratively and playably. Unfortunately, part of the expansion feels a bit of unnecessary padding, and it wouldn't be bad to let us control Yuffie's friend. Still, remarkable content that if we're fans of the Remake, we'll enjoy.

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.

While the pace does drag a bit once you make your way to Shinra Headquarters, things pick up in a big way towards the finale, bringing all of the game's standout features back to the forefront. It all coalesces into a thrilling and heartfelt experience that will satisfy longtime fans of the franchise, and while I do wish there was a bigger emphasis on story and character, at times, I still had a blast returning to this world and spending time with this delightful duo, and Remake's second chapter can't get here soon enough.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade provided an interesting part of the story, as it was telling a side of the character Yuffie, and despite its shortness, the game provided a beautiful experience and an enjoyable addition if you liked the full game, then this addition adds a lot of fun things.

Intergrade continues the legacy of Final Fantasy VII with some great new content, but those coming from the PS4 version will have less to celebrate about.

I enjoyed Final Fantasy VII EPISODE INTERmission, in some ways even more than the base game. While it is a shorter experience and doesn’t include all of the same features, it felt more focused. Yuffie is a great character who brought a lot of humor to this INTERmission and who I look forward to seeing in the main series.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Episode Intermission Yuffie ultimately feels more like an appetizer for the eventual full-blown sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake, which might still be years away at this point. If you’re already a fan of the franchise or Final Fantasy VII Remake, the ending of this DLC alone might be enough to make it an essential purchase.

Final Fantasy VII remake Intergrade Intermission is a must-buy DLC for fans. In addition to completeness, it faithfully performed the role of link with part 2 and the build-up to re-establish Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.
