New details are here for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade that show off some new features coming for Final Fantasy VII Remake
The wait still continues here for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade with June 10th still a bit of a way off. That just means that we still have time to get a few more teases and explanations out there from Square Enix as to what to expect and get hyped for here. All with the first little bit that this new episode for Final Fantasy VII Remake is going to be called Episode INTERmission, which offers up all of its own new things to assume here for it all. Almost as if this could just be a smaller bit as we wait for the next massive game expansion and “episode” to release out there. Intermissions are not always known to be long unless this is truly just them trying to be clever with some naming out there.
In addition to all of this for Final Fantasy VII Remake we have some new screenshots to look at to show Yuffie and some of the other Wutaian ninjas out there in the world. The bigger focus is on the new abilities that Yuffie will have that flows with the ninja skills and giant throwing star. The text tries to explain how the Banishment and Windstorm abilities with the first an attack based on how much of the ATB has been used so far and the other damaging while pulling enemies closer in. I have a feeling that there is more to it all when it comes to the actual gameplay for Final Fantasy VII, but all we have is text and stills to show it off and not actual gameplay. Something that would work better to show off Yuffie’s Elemental Ninjitsu that allows for each element to be added to the attacks too. Something video would have given a better feel for.
Square Enix today revealed exciting new details for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, the enhanced and expanded version of the critically acclaimed and award-winning Final Fantasy VII Remake on the PlayStation 5 console. The team revealed the official title for the new episode featuring Yuffie as FF7R Episode INTERmission, and introduced new information on the episode’s main character, Yuffie Kisaragi, as well as the talented English voice cast behind the new characters for this new episode.
Players can look forward to utilizing Yuffie’s signature battle style in combat while they infiltrate the shadowy Shinra Corporation to steal a powerful materia and restore glory to her homeland, as she shines in both close and long-range combat. As a member of Wutai’s elite corps of ninja operatives, her Unique Ability allows her to throw her iconic massive throwing star at enemies. During that time, she is able to attack with long-range ninjutsu that can be augmented with her Elemental Ninjutsu ability, which can change its affinity to fire, ice, lightning, or wind.
Another of Yuffie’s abilities, “Banishment,” unleashes an attack that does more damage based on how much ATB was spent before it. Similar to her Unique Ability, its elemental affinity can be changed with Elemental Ninjutsu.
Yuffie can also use “Windstorm,” which creates a damaging gust of wind that damages nearby enemies and launches them towards her. Players can look forward to learning even more about Yuffie’s specialized ninja fighting style and enjoy an expanded gameplay experience featuring multiple new combat and gameplay additions for FF7R Episode INTERmission.
Alongside Yuffie and Sonon, additional characters were introduced for FF7R Episode INTERmission, including Zhijie, a Wutain who acts as the point of contact between the new Wutaian government and Avalanche HQ, members of Avalanche HQ—Nayo, Billy Bob, and Polk, and Weiss, the sadistic ruler of Shinra’s top-secret underground research center Deepground.
