Alright, so here’s the deal. Square Enix just dropped some news that—wait, hold on, I need coffee for this—anyway, they’ve finally given a sorta timeframe for when Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is gonna hit the Nintendo Switch 2. Honestly, took ’em long enough, right?
So, what’s the scoop? Apparently, around seven million folks got their hands on this thing already, whether by picking it up in stores or downloading it. And here’s where it gets kinda cool (or maybe I’m just a Cloud Strife fanboy): you get to hang out with this ex-SOLDIER—yep, that’s Cloud—who’s now just, like, freelancing for this underground group called Avalanche. It’s set in Midgar, with its shiny, creepy, mako-tech vibe. Seriously, the whole place is like a flickering fluorescent bulb or something. Gives me goosebumps.
The bad guys? Oh, just this shady Shinra Electric bunch. Cloud and his pals kinda stumble into this epic struggle over the planet’s fate. You know, no biggie.
Oh, and listen to this. There’s this bonus storyline—which, for some reason, wasn’t on my radar before—called FF7R EPISODE INTERmission. Spoiler alert: Yuffie Kisaragi, this ninja from Wutai, gets the spotlight. She sneaks into Midgar while everything is going down. Ninja antics in a city that’s basically a corporate maze? Count me in!
Anyway—wait, no, back it up—the game’s gonna be on shelves and online in the Nintendo eShop for the Switch 2 by Winter 2025. Can you already hear your wallet crying? I can.
Oh, and there’s a trailer out too, if you’re into that sort of thing. I didn’t watch it yet—too busy jotting this down. But, I mean, trailers are always a mixed bag, right? Sometimes they hook you, and sometimes you’re just left wondering, why did I waste those two minutes? Anyway, make of it what you will.
