But wait there is more! Square Enix is also releasing two new mobile games by 2022 Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis and Final Fantasy VII First Soldier.So let’s dive in what are the main enhancements?

Another new feature is “Photo Mode” with is an easier way to capture your favorite moments and screenshots!

The Intergrade version is completely independent of the PS4 version. Meaning if you didn’t have it on PS4 that’s ok you can get it still. Now if you do already own the PS4 version you can get the free  enhancement update.

Keep in mind if your copy is physical you will need to have the physical version of PS5. The ones upgrading from the PS4 version will need to buy the Yuffie Episode separately.
