Final Fantasy VII Remake: Integrade’s stand-alone story content will cost $20

Square Enix revealed new details on Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade‘s new story content, which will be available as a $20 stand-alone purchase.

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade is the new next-gen update of last year’s Game Awards-nominated RPG. It features visual enhancements, as well as an all-new piece of story content. Square Enix previously noted that those who already own the game can get the upgrade for free (unless you downloaded the PlayStation Plus version), but they’ll need to buy the story content separately.

The new episode, titled FF7R Episode INTERmission, will be available as a stand-alone purchase for $20 starting on June 10. Players who purchase Intergrade itself will get the story content as part of that bundle. The standard edition costs $70 and a digital deluxe edition costs $90.

The blog post revealed new details about the update’s story and new combat abilities. The episode follows Yuffie as she infiltrates a Shinra facility to steal a piece of materia. Yuffie’s play style is a mix of close- and long-range attacks. She’s able to toss a big throwing star at enemies and attack with an elemental ninjutsu.

Yuffie has two new abilities: Banishment and Windstorm. Banishment deals damage based on how much of the ATB power gauge was spent before it is used, while Windstorm is a damaging area attack that draws enemies toward Yuffie.

Square Enix revealed the voice cast for the new episode, which gives a glimpse at the full cast of characters. In addition to Yuffie and Sonon, INTERmission includes characters like Weiss, Polk, and Billy Bob.

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade hits stores on June 10 and will only be available on PS5.

PSA: Don’t burn yourself out on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s open-world activities
Cloud from FFVII

I'm normally a completionist when it comes to games, but I wish I had told myself to push that mindset to the side before I started Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

I get the desire to do it all, I really do. In the critically acclaimed sequel, we're finally let loose outside of Midgar. Square Enix has laid a huge, lush set of biomes to stretch our legs in after being stuck in the cramped hallways and tunnels of the drab city. Despite most of the world activities in Rebirth being standard open-world fare (activating towers, scanning points of interest, and hunting down specific monsters), there's an undeniable novelty to doing it with Cloud and the rest of Avalanche. What I wish I had known before starting was just how easy it was to burn out on that feeling.

The best armor in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth
Cloud from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Just like in Remake, you only have one valuable armor slot per character in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Deciding on what you want to put there is more complicated than you think, since each piece of armor has multiple factors that determine how effective it will be, and you may want to prioritize different things for different characters. New armor will become available as you go deeper into the world of Gaia, and you can even make some yourself with the new Transmutation system, so comparing and contrasting them all can be a major chore. We get it, you're just a merc looking to get the job done, so let us worry about figuring out the best armors so you can just put them on and get back to the action.
The best armor in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Armor in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth have three major factors to consider when you're equipping some: the physical defense rating, magic defense rating, and Materia slots. The best armor will either focus heavily on one of these or have a strong balance of them all. Here are our picks.
Garm Bangle

The Garm Bangle is an amazing piece of physical-focused armor that becomes available once you hit the Nibel region. It has a fantastic 59 rating for regular defense, aplus a decent 28 for magic defense to keep you from being totally vulnerable to spells. Offensively, it has two pairs of linked Materia slots plus a spare, so you can still make plenty of killer magic combos for your mages.
