Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergradeis the updated version ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remake, exclusively for the PlayStation 5, with added content such as the new chapter calledINTERmission. The player controls one of two originally optional party members fromFinal Fantasy 7, Yuffie Kisaragi. In the originalFinal Fantasy 7,Yuffie played a minor role and was sometimes a nuisance to the main party as a sort-of comic relief. She could be recruited any time after a certain point in the story, but her inclusion in the remake presumably means a divergence from the source material when recruiting her to the main party.
The re-release ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remakeon the PS5also includes higher quality textures and lighting with the option of two different display modes with each display mode emphasizing either performance or graphics. Alongside this visual inclusion is the new “Photo Mode” that players can access from the pause screen. Much like other games with a photo mode, this allows players to capture special moments in gameplay scenes. On top of all this, the re-release includes new difficulties in its “Classic Mode” as well as new bosses and a reintroduction of the Fort Condor mini-game.

If fans own the PlayStation 5 versionFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Intergradeor have upgraded their PS4 version to the PS5 and purchased the DLCEpisode INTERmission, then they will have the opportunity to play as Yuffie. InINTERmissionYuffie infiltrates Shinra’s underground and faces against Deepground, a secret organization that originally appeared inDirge of Cerberus. What role theDeepground will play inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2remains to be seen, but their encounter in the remake is much sooner than the original timeline.Another notable reference toDirge of Cerberusis the Moogle Cape Yuffie would occasionally wear.
In the originalFinal Fantasy 7, Yuffie’s birthday is November 20, and she is 16 years old. However, it is unclear if this remains the same for the remake. Though according to the10th Anniversary UltimaniaforFinal Fantasy 7, the timeline of events in the original game does not go on longer than a couple of months. The originalFinal Fantasy 7story starts canonically in early December and ends in late January of the following year. So despite Yuffie being 16 in the original, one can presume thatYuffie inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake INTERmission, like many of the original cast, is 16 just as before.
