'Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade' Is Getting A Hot New Feature You Can Opt Out Of

"Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox are finally getting Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade five years after its launch on other platforms, but PlayStation 5 and PC players have something to look forward to as well. Along with Intergrade's addition to more consoles, all existing versions are also getting an update that adds some flexible, powerful difficulty options far beyond what's offered in most new games."

"That patch brings a set of toggles to enable features you usually wouldn't find outside of mods or console commands. On a new menu coming in the update, you can toggle on infinite HP or MP, increase the rate at which you gain experience points, give yourself unlimited gil and recovery items, and access other options designed to make combat move much more quickly with minimal difficulty."

"Square Enix previously revealed the existence of Streamlined Progression options when it announced the new versions of the game - what's new is confirmation that they'll arrive on PC and PlayStation 5 the same day the game hits new platforms. According to director Naoki Hamaguchi, Streamlined Progression is designed to let players approach the game on their own terms, especially those who want to experience Intergrade 's story but may not have the time to build their characters and fight their way through every battle."

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox on January 22. A patch released the same day adds Streamlined Progression options across all platforms. The update provides toggles comparable to mods or console commands, including infinite HP and MP, accelerated experience gain, unlimited gil and recovery items, and other settings to speed up combat while minimizing difficulty. The Streamlined Progression system aims to let players experience Intergrade's story without spending extensive time on character building or difficult battles. Square Enix confirmed the options will arrive simultaneously on PlayStation 5 and PC.
