Final Fantasy 7 Remake Lets You Make Every Attack Do 9,999

"Almost five years after Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade brought the game to PlayStation 5, that version of the game is getting a free new update that will add a new "streamlined" mode to the game for people who just want to enjoy the story. This patch will arrive on January 22, just in time for the RPG's launch on Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S. "To celebrate Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade launch day on Nintendo Switch 2 & Xbox, a patch for the PS5 and PC versions will launch next Thursday," Square Enix announced on January 15. "This introduces Streamlined Progression, including the ability to keep HP and MP topped up, and always hit for 9,999 damage!" Now every attack can be an Omnislash and you won't even have to spend over 500 hours grinding at the first reactor to make it happen."

"The previously teased Streamlined Progression mode is effectively a story mode for people who want to follow Cloud and his Avalanche pals in their journey through Midgar to topple Shinra without having to deal with all of the difficulty that might come from combat, and especially certain boss encounters. Instead of toggling the game to easy, players can make it so their characters are already maxed out and hitting for the most damage possible."

A free patch for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade arrives January 22 on PS5 and PC, coinciding with Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S ports. The update adds Streamlined Progression, a story-focused mode that keeps HP and MP topped up and sets attacks to deal the maximum 9,999 damage. The mode removes much combat difficulty and mitigates challenging boss encounters by allowing characters to be effectively maxed out without toggling a standard easy setting. Streamlined Progression ships with the new ports and becomes available to existing PS5 and PC players through the patch, simplifying narrative-focused playthroughs and potential trophy runs.
