Over 25 years after Final Fantasy 7 jumped ship from Nintendo to PlayStation, things are truly coming full circle with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2.
There are some interesting tidbits — and one which stands out right away: Final Fantasy 7 Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi wants the Final Fantasy series, in general, to have a “strong partnership” with Nintendo.
Intergrade is the “complete” version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, featuring enhanced graphics and the Yuffie-focused Episode Intermission DLC.
Octopath Traveler and especially Bravely Default are turn-based Final Fantasy games in everything but name — those games are so integrally tuned to the spirit of Final Fantasy.
There’s no reason Final Fantasy can’t be both smaller games and these big tentpole AAA experiences, like Rebirth and Final Fantasy XVI.
