This was pretty good. Just like FFVII Remake, Yuffie’s characterization is the best it’s ever been. I “liked” Yuffie in the original FFVII but to be honest there wasn’t really much to like or dislike with her. She was my least favorite character by far because she just.. didn’t have anything going for her. All subsequent appearances of Yuffie in the FFVII compilation had her kind of be annoying. INTERmission does a really great job in making her still feel like Yuffie but more likable and more in line with other characters.
I thought it was really cute how INTERmission takes place during the main story and you can see parts of it happen but from a different point of view. I really liked the expansion on the Wutai-Avalanche connections and how we got to see a different cell from Avalanche and hear first-hand what they think about Barret’s cell. Just great added depth that isn’t needed but fleshes out the world a lot. I like the Fort Condor game a lot. I’m excited to see if the real Fort Condor will be handled the same.
The combat is really really great. The synergy mechanic is just so smooth and adds a really fun element to the battles. Yuffie and Sonon play off of each other’s moves in really fun ways and tag team enemies when synergized. This battle system is honestly already pretty legendary and they managed to enhance it in a really genius way. I can not wait to see how they improved on the synergy system further in FFVII Rebirth.
Overall, INTERmission is a really cute DLC that doesn’t feel substantial to the main story but that’s not a bad thing. It was perfectly titled because it does feel like an intermission between Remake and Rebirth. With the post-credits scene seemingly ending off right where FFVII Rebirth will pick up which I found to be really cool. I wanted a scene like that in base ending, just to serve as further connective tissue between Remake and Rebirth, and I’m so glad I got it here.
