46. Final Fantasy 7 Remake INTERmission (2021) - PS5

What a name. This is what they decided to call the DLC, for whatever reason (because it's a mission that takes place during the main game I guess?). Anyways, it's mostly pretty alright. Yuffie's combat style is pretty fun, and added some new spice to the battle system. The Fort Condor minigame was quite fun too, I thought, and there were few enough opponents that it never got old. I didn't do much of they Happy Turtle flyers, but that whole concept was a bit dumb. I've always liked Yuffie quite a bit, but I definitely liked her less here than in the original FF7. All the additional animation and voice acting only served to make her annoying, and even her serious segments felt a bit awkward. Sonon was actually the funnier one of the two, IMO. The way he takes everything seriously is great. The best part of the game was how in battles, Yuffie is the player character, so if she dies, Sonon immediately commits suicide to resurrect her from the dead and Yuffie cries out with grief whenever that happens. Laughed every time. The worst part of the game was probably the villains. Scarlet's the least interesting of the Shinra crew, and the trials she makes you do feel kinda repetitive. Then we get Nero and Weiss, who are extra dumb. Not sure who asked for them to come back. The epilogue at the end was mostly fun, though it didn't really have anything to do with the rest of the DLC. I'd say the DLC feels pretty inessential overall, though it's nice that they put enough effort into it to feel like a unique experience. The two chapters we get here are weaker than the average FF7R chapter (though better than the worst ones...).

On a side note, I played this on PS5, while I played FF7R on PS4. The upgraded frame rate and textures were quite nice, not to mention the lack of load times.

Next game hint: a more sinister type of portal.
