4/7/2023 0 Comments Ff7 remake intermission ps4![]() The few fears I had relating mostly to the combat were put to rest when the demo released. I had hoped that with two new characters we would see multiple new summons, but alas we’re left with just Ramuh.When Final Fantasy VII Remake was finally nearing release on PS4 last year, I was a bit nervous for the full game. The same can be said for her new sidekick, Sonon, who is a little muted at best. While still powerful, combat doesn’t feel as fluid as it did with Cloud, and her range of weapons feel less inspired than those you’ll find in the main game. When you’re not running around finding people to beat at board games, Yuffie is running around fighting enemies with her signature boomerang-style ninja star. At first it was vaguely interesting, but it dwindled into repetition very quickly. For each battle there’s one specific strategy you need to use against each enemy or you’re going to lose. Sure, there’s more variation and depth, but we’re talking about the relative depth of two puddles here. From here on out, it’s rock-paper-scissors all the way.Īlthough this is more fun than original Fort Condor, it’s still a bit soulless. The buffs include things like increased ATB speed, more ATB segments and more units you can bring into combat, and units are split into three different colours: blue (defence), green (ranged) and red (attack). You pick a board style which grants access to the materia and buffs that suit your style of play, and a collection of units to throw into battle. The new Fort Condor is an auto-battler board game. Fortunately, this time around, they’ve made Fort Condor more playable by redesigning it from the ground up. The tower defence game was shoehorned in, it didn’t feel right and it was about as fun as all those submarine sections we all try so hard to forget about. I must admit, I hated the Fort Condor mission in the original PS1 game. The reason for this is that the first five or so hours is spent running around Sector 7, picking up fliers and challenging everyone to a game of Fort Condor. It’s hard to say any more than that, as that way spoilers lie, but what I can say is that even at seven hours, Intergrade feels very short. ![]() By the end, she has almost grow an appreciation and mutual respect for the denizens of the slums, inching closer to the Yuffie we know from the PS1 classic. Through INTERmission, Yuffie meets the people of Midgar’s Sector 7, rubbing shoulders with some fan favourites, including members of the organisation Avalanche. How she will be woven into FF7R Part 2, which picks up right where FF7RI ends, is an exciting prospect. She’s fun and vivacious, eagerly (though inelegantly) setting about her mission, striking a fantastic balance with the other party from the main game. Yuffie isn’t just here for revenge, she’s here for the Materia she needs to empower her people once more and release Shina’s grip on the planet.ĭespite a tragic backstory, Yuffie is a breath of fresh air after playing as the brooding blondie, Cloud Strife – their common ground is that they’re both extremely skilled in combat. For those unfamiliar, our young heroine hails from Wutai, a nation at the brink of collapse after losing a war against the Shinra Corporation (the company that effectively owns most of the planet, including Midgar - it’s base of operations). Intergrade also offers an intermission from the main story, allowing you to take control of Yuffie, ninja extraordinaire, as she arrives in Midgar. If you haven’t played FF7R yet, I envy you the chance to experience it in this level of detail for the first time. I very rarely remember that photo mode is a thing, but I found myself pausing the game and just soaking in the detail on several occasions throughout. It’s like how the Mona Lisa looks incredible from any angle, but when you place it under the right frame under the right lighting, that’s when it really pops.Įverything is smoother, clearer and more detailed, delivering a consistent upgrade to quality on a game that already looked phenomenal for so much of the time on. ![]() The graphical overhaul for Intergrade takes what was a stunning game and just makes it sing in ways we haven’t seen before. The short answer is yes, it is absolutely worth it - especially if you haven’t played the base game. Was it worth all the downloading and the complications of cross-gen PlayStation gaming? With everything fully installed (and I mean fully), I was finally able to dive into Yuffie’s Episode: INTERmission.
