‘Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade’ sets a new standard for console generation updates

Two new chapters arrive with “Intergrade,” collectively titled “Intermission,” and they come with increased difficulty. Yuffie, a returning cast member who leads both chapters, has to face virtual reality challenges, and her ultimate foe is Weiss, a mysterious character from another FF7 spinoff game, “Dirge of Cerberus” (2006). The fight against Weiss is more intense than anything in the normal game, mostly because it relies heavily on quickly taking advantage of openings and fast dodging. It’s like Square Enix programmed Weiss to demonstrate to players firsthand why a higher framerate can really matter in some games.
