FFVII Remake: Intergrade Yuffie DLC Announced

[Misterbadguy]

Quite a few noticeable visual improvements here but the bump to 2160p in particular does the game such an enormous favour. Seems to be a few more SFX here and there too which lines up well with the talk that the audio mix is improved.

It seems like it'll cost $10 to purchase Yuffie's cacstar weapon if you are upgrading from the PS4 version to the PS5 version.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah no I ain't buying that weapon even for just €1 let alone 10.

...What the hell does the Cacstar do?!

Does it have triple materia growth? Extremely high attack power? Unlock All Creation? Cook perfectly round pancakes on any griddle?

It better cure Geostigma if it's gonna cost that much.

POV: The Yuffie DLC is out in some time zones but not yours and you are waiting to actually play it so you are avoiding discussions and social media:


Also someone tell me what you think is happening in the upper left one. Not sure I made it clear enough lol.

^LOVE IT

Whenever I have money again I need to request some commission work from you, Ody

There is so much FF7 meme-ing, especially for Dirge, that I want to see made

 

[Odysseus]

Shitty mouse drawings are exponentially cheaper than actual fully produced art lol

Are there any non-spoiler impressions of the intergrade intermission story?

Depends on who you ask I suppose, from what I’ve seen so far there’s some interesting surprises and I just gotta know what happens next

Have you been spoiled?

 

[KindOfBlue]

Have you been spoiled?

I have but intentionally, I knew I wasn’t gonna be able to play it right away (I have the PS5 but I’ll be too busy to play these next few days) so I figured might as well find out what’s up on my own terms rather than by YouTube’s algorithm

Downloading Intergrade atm

 

[Odysseus]

Gonna set an alarm for midnight so I can start downloading it then, because it's gonna take all fucking day with my wifi lol.

 

[KindOfBlue]

Sorry if this was already explained but I’m not sure how to get it, I have the PS5 with the PS4 digital version but I can’t seem to find the upgrade

Got the PS5 version of the base game a couple hours ago by setting up an AUS PSN account. Few impressions based on Quality Mode in chapters 1, 2, 3, 6, and 13:

- in general the textures are a lot better, practically all of the egregious ones like the aircon units, The Door, the scrapheaps and the slums in Chapter 6 are fixed. There's still a few grotty textures here and there but they're less easy to spot. Sector 5 and Wall Market are noticeably improved in particular.
- On top of the stuff like new lighting and volumetric fog, there's also additional particle effects, improved HDR (including actual calibration in the menu) and fairly limited ray tracing on select surfaces. I'd say of all the additions, the lighting and HDR are the star players - the overall image the game puts out is brighter and more vivid now, with the PS4 image seeming more washed out by comparison.
- I've so far not noticed any music different to the degree of the opening, which does appear to be a completely new recording. To what end, I have absolutely no idea.

I think the free upgrade is only for owners of the physical copy ...

 

[Odysseus]

can you preload the upgrade? I'm not sure how.

 

[KindOfBlue]

I think the free upgrade is only for owners of the physical copy ...

SE and Sony say you can get the upgrade free for both digital and physical unless if you got the digital version through PS plus (I actually own the game digitally) I’m just not sure how to actually get the thing lol

But if it’s true, I’ll scream…and then buy it anyways

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Oh, okay, it's just the PS+ folks who can't get it. That's good then.

No idea what you need to do, though, @KindOfBlue ...

 

[Misterbadguy]

Intergrade is free for physical and digital purchases from what I understand. The exception is if you got 7R via PS+ a few months ago.

 

[Odysseus]

Okay well I'm rummeging around the menu and I see no options for preloading, so I guess that was only for people who digitally bought the PS5 version. That's frustrating.

 

[Areega]

Phew! Now I just have to wait til midnight to download the whole thing. I hope that doesn't take too long.

 

[Odysseus]

Why is the release staggered by timezone anyway? What does that actually accomplish? This is stupid.
fomo anxiety is kicking in don't mind me.

 

[ultima786]

I hope this is not true… I bought a digital ff7R copy…

 

[cold_spirit]

To digital owners of the PS4 version in North America, are you able to download Intergrade yet? I was hoping to get the download started before leaving to work, but alas.

Okay well I'm rummeging around the menu and I see no options for preloading, so I guess that was only for people who digitally bought the PS5 version. That's frustrating.

Yes, very. And since we can't pre-order Intergrade we also lose access to the mini soundtrack and artbook, plus we have to buy the Cacstar weapon (it's currently a pre-order bonus). Not a big deal, but still. This whole rollout has been a mess.
