This is going to be a brief review. I don't have much to say here. This is fine. It's not great but also not bad.
This did not need to exist. It could have been in Rebirth. As I said in my PS4 review of Remake, this DLC was pretty anti consumer. There was no reason why it could not have also been on the PS4.
Nothing that happens in this DLC is taken from the original FFVII. It feels very important for what is to come, but also was clearly made to ship copies of an enhanced PS5 version of Remake. It felt very scummy to me.
The story was fine. I like Yuffie. The Nostalgia factor beyond, oh that's Yuffie, is really the only driving force. It didn't hit me like Remake did because it's all new material only relying on Yuffie and one other OG character's appearance.
Also, as I said in my Remake review, it's great that each character plays differently, but also bad when you don't like how one plays and you are forced to play with them. I didn't like Yuffie's playstyle. It was a bit too chaotic and a lot of micromanagement for me.
Is it cool to see what she is doing before she meets the rest of the gang? Yes. Was it needed? No. Could it have just been in Rebirth? Yes. Maybe it would not have felt so hastily done. So scummy.
It's fine. But I suggest just watching it on Youtube. No need to buy Intergrade just for the DLC. It's not long enough to justify it either. I will assume you will need to know it for Rebirth though.
