Final Fantasy VII Remake: Episode Intermission

This expansion pivots the combat from Cloud’s heavy swordplay to Yuffie’s acrobatic, ranged ninjutsu, demanding a fresh tactical rhythm with her elemental shuriken and synergy attacks. The Fort Condor mini-game provides a surprisingly deep strategic diversion, while the tighter, two-character narrative focuses on espionage and camaraderie in a way the main game’s broader scope could not. It’s a concentrated dose of Midgar’s best qualities—polished combat, world-building side content, and a charismatic new lead—that leaves you wanting more of this specific, kinetic energy.

About Final Fantasy VII Remake: Episode Intermission

View Game Details
Shortly after the bombing of Mako Reactor 5, Yuffie Kisaragi, a ninja working for Wutai, arrives at Midgar and meets up with her partner Sonon Kusakabe (Aleks Le/Yoshimasa Hosoya) in order to steal Shinra's "Ultimate Materia". With the help of a local Avalanche cell, Yuffie and Sonon infiltrate the lab under Shinra headquarters and fight through Shinra's forces before discovering that the Ultimate Materia is not yet complete. As they try to escape, they are confronted by a Shinra supersoldier named Nero (Sean Chiplock/Ryōtarō Okiayu). Outmatched, Sonon sacrifices himself to ensure Yuffie can escape. She leaves Shinra headquarters just in time to see the Sector 7 plate fall. Some time later, Yuffie has left Midgar and muses that in order to achieve her desire to see Shinra's downfall, she will need a team to help her.
