Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade was arguably the most exciting part of Sony's live streaming State of Play in February, and in what appears to be an expansion to FFVIIR, you'll be controlling Yuffie Kisaragi, a young, impulsive ninja who has been a favorite of fans since the original Final Fantasy VII She is a young, impulsive ninja who has delighted and annoyed fans ever since her debut in the original "Final Fantasy VII"

The good news about "Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade" is that you can control not only Yuffie, but also a new character named Sonon, in an all-new adventure that documents an unreleased part of FFVII's story The bad news is that this expanded content will only be available on PS5, which could make it a very expensive addition for PS4 gamers

The good news, of course, is that the "Final Fantasy VII Remake" will also receive a free patch for the PS5 version that improves resolution, performance, textures, lighting, load times, etc If you are lucky enough to have a PS5, you can get the patch and intergrade on June 10 Once released, FFVIIR will play best on PS5

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade appears to take place shortly after the main FFVIIR installment, shifting the focus away from Cloud and his party Instead, players will control Kisaragi Yuffie She is a materia thief with a problem she must settle with the evil Shinra Corporation In the process, she teams up with a swordsman named Sonon (Sonon is a new character, so we don't yet know what their relationship is Yuffie was a party member in the original FFVII)

In terms of gameplay, Intergrade seems to be quite similar to FFVIIR, featuring real-time combat, playable party members, and environmental puzzles Yuffie herself uses shurikens for close and long-range combat, while Sonnon's sword seems to be a bit more traditional In a particularly engaging battle scene, the two work together to create a powerful whirlwind

A stylish trailer has also been released, giving hints at the story Cloud appears to be missing, but since Yuffie does not yet know Cloud, that is not her primary concern Instead, she has come to the cyberpunk city of Midgar with a purpose and must fight monsters and human enemies to achieve it

The other big news is that the Final Fantasy VII Remake will receive a free patch on the PS5 that will make it run more beautifully and smoothly on Sony's new console Currently, thanks to backwards compatibility, one can play FFVIIR on PS5, but the game is not optimized for the system

The PS5 patch for FFVIIR will add the usual upgrades for an optimized PS4 game These include better textures, improved lighting effects, and reduced load times In addition, players will be able to choose between a graphics-optimized mode that keeps the resolution at 4K whenever possible and a performance mode that prioritizes a 60 fps frame rate Players will be able to carry over their save data, and the upgrade to PS5 will be free if they own the PS4 version

Finally, the game will also add a photo mode, allowing players to pause the action and capture their favorite shots from different angles

Both the patch and the "Intergrade" expansion will be available worldwide on June 10 However, the patch will be free, while Intergrade will be paid for The amount should be announced by Square Enix closer to the game's release date
