In the first chapter, Yuffie finds herself in the semi open-world Sector 7 Slums area from the earlier chapters of the game. What’s on offer is a heady and impressive case of asset reuse, with many existing elements from the main FF7 Remake retooled and recontextualized into a two-episode DLC that should take between three and six hours to finish depending on how much of a completionist you are. Yuffie is familiar, but the story here is new, concocted for the Remake. The nostalgia-stoking element here is the lead character - Yuffie Kisaragi, beloved optional party member in the original FF7 who is essentially guaranteed a more significant role in future installments of the remake. In many ways, Intermission follows the same template as the rest of FF7 Remake, pitting nostalgia-bait against something all-new. For the record, the new content is not available in the original PS4 version of the game. For those who enjoyed the original, there’s now a little bit extra to enjoy in the form of Episode Intermission, a new story episode included with new boxed copies of the PS5 upgraded version of FF7 Remake, or available as a DLC for those who partake in the free upgrade from the last-generation version of the game.
