Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade – New Summon, Minigame & More! Posted: 19 May 2021 01:54 AM PDT Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade PlayStation 5 – US, EU, JAPAN & ASIA In just a few weeks, players can finally get their hands on Square Enix’s highly-anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. But, that “few weeks,” is still a pretty good opportunity for Square Enix to tease players with further information about the game that’ll keep the hype train going.  So, aside from the improved visuals and performance, the publisher also gives players a glimpse of some characters in the game, the new Fort Condor minigame, and a new summon.  Check out all the interesting updates below directly from Square Enix: New Key Visual Nero Nero is a member of the Tsviets – an elite unit within Shinra's secret military group Deepground. The younger brother of Weiss the Immaculate, he practically worships his incarcerated sibling. The experiments that brought Nero into the world also left him with the power to control darkness. Some call him 'Nero the Sable' and he lives up to the name by engulfing whoever and whatever he pleases in a vast abyss. Scarlet and The Crimson Mare Scarlet is Shinra's Director of Advanced Weaponry, and in charge of the very materia that Wutai wants to steal. When Yuffie and Sonon infiltrate her division, she graciously lets them become test subjects for a suit of battle armor called the Crimson Mare. I mean, that's just being a good host, right? Scarlet developed the awesome armor personally and takes the pilot seat against the heroes. They'll have their work cut out for them – the Crimson Mare comes equipped with interchangeable weapons, such as sabers and makocannons. True to its name, it's more than capable of painting the arena red with the blood of its foes. Battle Mechanics Synergized Attacks Although Sonon can't be controlled in battle, he can be given orders. What's more, with co-ordination, he can work with Yuffie to deliver more powerful attacks. If both characters have ATB available, pressing L2 will engage synergy with Yuffie and Sonon, allowing them to team up for special attacks that can stagger enemies more easily. Synergized Art of War Synergized Windstorm   Limit Breaks Just as in the original FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE adventure, characters' Limit gauges will fill as they take damage. Once Yuffie and Sonon have taken enough abuse, they'll be able to unleash a devastatingly damaging attack. Yuffie's Limit Break is called Bloodbath. When used, she'll unleash a flurry of blows that deal large amounts of damage. Sonon can utilize the Limit Break Dance of the Dragon. This lets the character deliver multiple hits with his staff, dealing incredible amounts of damage to any foe unlucky enough to be on the receiving end. Minigame – Fort Condor If Yuffie needs a break from clandestine ninja work, she can check out the hot new craze in the Midgar undercity: Fort Condor. Inspired by one of Shinra’s military campaigns, it's a game of strategy in which two players deploy units to conquer their opponent’s base and defend their own. Here's how it works: First, you select the board, which determines the number of ATB charges and materia available to you. You can also set the units you wish to deploy. You use ATB charges to deploy a unit. Once deployed, it will march toward your opponent’s base and automatically engage any enemy units it encounters. A unit is assigned one of three roles: vanguard, ranged, or defense. These determine which enemies it will be effective against. Materia can be used to cast powerful spells. Timing matters as each orb can only be used once per match, so it's up to you to decide when is best to use it. Fort Condor is gaining massive popularity and word on the street (or under it) is that anyone who can defeat the grandmaster can win some rare materia. New Summon – Ramuh  He's here at last! Quite a few people expressed regret that the lightning-launching Ramuh didn't make an appearance in FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE – including Co-Director Naoki Hamaguchi himself! That's about to change. The fabled Lord of Levin is able to bend lightning to his will to strike down enemies. It’s said that he once cast judgment on the wicked with mighty bolts and exhorted humanity to accept law and order. He'll aid our heroes in battle with some shocking skills. via – Square Enix Game Overview  Kiss goodbye to your social life and say hello to hours of gameplay once you stepped into the city of Midgar. Immerse yourself with highly upgraded visuals, gameplay, and system enhancements, powered by PS5’s latest generation hardware.
