For those who prefer their video game media to exist in physical course, this recent bit of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade news could be a downer. According to an EB Games listing, "the new episode, featuring Yuffie, volition be a code supplied in the box." And so that means that the concrete version won't be the complete version, equally players volition still have to download the Intermission DLC separately.

This decision seems somewhat counter-intuitive at first glance. And the official reason for information technology is that Sony's consoles only allow a game to read a express number of SKUs (stock-keeping units), which would impact whatever additional content congenital directly into a physical disc.

However, there's another reason for this item workaround being used. It's an effective strategy that allows a company, this case Square Enix, to control the number of used copies resold. Since a large part of Intergrade'south appeal is the Intermission DLC, players ownership physical volition naturally avoid purchasing a used copy without a valid code, and instead, opt for buying a new copy from either third-political party retailers or from Square itself. Another reason is that it prevents those netting a complimentary PlayStation five copy of Remake through their concrete PlayStation 4 version from getting the DLC for complimentary.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and its DLC will release on June ten for PlayStation five. You tin larn more nearly Episode Intermission's principal and supporting bandage and their vocalisation actors, and how the battle system works. Co-managing director Tetsuya Nomura discussed Remake part two at length during the same livestream.
