- Genre: Action RPG
- Time Played: 9 Hours
- Too Short/Long: I wouldn't have minded it be a bit longer. 3 Chapters would have been good.
- Pleased/Disappointed: Very pleased, I liked it more than I thought I would.
- Why I played: I wanted to get it out of the way before Rebirth came out, and I am glad I did.
- Recommend to others: Definitely. It's not a standalone product and it's technically a DLC, but... it is a stand alone little prologue for Yuffie with some other bonuses. You definitely have to play Remake first.
This is the reason I get so frustrated... infuriated even, when I see how many people cry out for what is just basically a 1:1 "Remake" of Final Fantasy 7 with better graphics instead of the Remake we are getting. The Remake we are getting which, is better viewed as series "reboot" or "sequel" really, rather than a "remake". I always say that "Remake" for FF7 is not a description, but a subtitle. I don't get why people are so against this when so many other series have gotten a kind of "reboot" to a similar degree with almost universal praise. "Fans" can be the absolute worst people.
If you want a 1:1 remake, there are plenty of high-res mods for the PC version.
Upon playing Remake I thought it was just the beginning of a masterpiece and playing Intermission only reinforced that. There are just so many nice little touches that even though I know there is a big giant behind it, I can't help but feel it's carefully crafted for/by dedicated fans.

Don't get me wrong, I kind of agree they delve a little too much into some of the more nonsensical aspects of the FF7 world in Remake and answering that by creating even more nonsensical aspects might not be the best decision, but I am here to see it through because as a complaint, that's pretty minor when considering other modern rpgs and the game is near perfection in every other aspect.
Obviously I have a level of bias as FF7 has always been my favorite game(/series), but I can't begin to express the sheer joy I experience when playing this.
Yuffie is better than ever. Originally, in FF7 she was a bit secondary - being a technically optional character, and maybe a bit annoying at times, but I absolutely loved her here, she is absolutely adorable, and very fun to play. It never felt like a real deviation from who she's always meant to be, just a more fully realized version of the character.
I loved it, and while it's status as a kind of bonus story DLC may technically make it optional to play before Rebirth. Just like acquiring Yuffie(and Vincent) in the original FF7, I don't consider it optional content.
