FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the expanded version of Square Enix's 2020 reimagining of the 1997 game, covering the first arc of the original story: Cloud Strife's mercenary contract with the eco-terrorist cell Avalanche to bomb Shinra's Mako Reactor 1 in the city of Midgar, and everything that unravels from there.

Combat replaces the original's turn-based ATB with a real-time action system that still pauses for command menus, ATB gauge, and materia loadouts. Boss design and party tactics lean heavily on this hybrid layer — switching characters mid-fight is built into the design.

This edition bundles the FF7R EPISODE INTERmission DLC, a two-chapter side story starring Yuffie Kisaragi as she infiltrates Midgar to steal materia from Shinra. It's the first time INTERmission has been playable outside PlayStation.

This is the first part of a multi-game series — the story ends roughly where the original game's Midgar section did, with the subsequent installments releasing separately. A small bundle of weapons, armor, and summon materia (Carbuncle, Chocobo Chick, Cactuar) ships as launch extras.
