For first time buyers and plan on buying the PS5 version, it will cost you a total of $70, which includes Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergade and the Yuffie Episode. As for those who are using the free upgrade option, the press release sent out confirmed that you will need to purchase the Yuffie Episode separately, though provided no price.
While not a 1:1 conversion, the Japanese version of the FF7 Intergrade website has confirmed prices for that region. Unlike North America and Europe, PS4 players in Japan will need to pay 100 (about $1) yen in order to upgrade to the PS5 version. As for the Yuffie Episode this will cost 2,178 Yen, or roughly $20-$21 when converted to USD.
Again, this isn’t always a 1:1 translation when it comes to currency conversions. We’ve reached out to Square Enix for an official comment regarding the price, and will be sure to update this post if we hear anything from them.
Why is this on Multiplayer First? FFVII Remake isn’t a crappy online game filled with awful microtransactions…like Avengers.
We’ve changed the site philosophy a bit over the last 2 years, as some users have suggested and even staffers, the site is called “Multiplayer FIRST”, and NOT “Multiplayer Only”
Our big focus will always be multiplayer games, but from time to time we will post single-player game news and even reviews
