Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade brought more content, features, and a visual upgrade to the hit recreation of an RPG classic, and it made the leap from PlayStation to PC on Dec. 16.

Despite the visual enhancements available with this game (as Intergrade was a PS4 to PS5 upgrade), players can still get in at the ground level with system specs more in line with a PS4’s performance. Read on to see what it’ll take to play and dial up the settings. 


Why the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Hype?

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade breathes fresh life into one of the best-regarded RPGs in history. Final Fantasy VII came out in 1997, when 3D graphics, rich plots, and symphonic scores for video games were still in their infancy. The Final Fantasy VII Remake brought the game into the 21st century with modern graphics, gameplay, and audio.

In our review, we found that the PC version is an excellent reimagining of the iconic PS1 JRPG that features fantastic visuals and addicting combat. The new Yuffie side content provides additional fun, and even addresses a few minor issues from the 2020 console release.

My Experience

I've covered the technology field for a decade, beginning a freelance career in 2017 and working with numerous publications, including PCMag since 2021. I have reviewed hundreds of products with a particular emphasis on computers and the broad field of peripherals, especially audio gear. At PCMag, I contribute audio device reviews of products like headphones and speakers, in addition to reviews of Windows laptops.

The Tech I Use

As a voracious reviewer, I'm cycling through different hardware at almost every corner of my life. My desk sees new speakers, monitors, keyboards, mice, computers, and laptops come across non-stop. I stick with Windows systems, as I have since I was a child, and can't get away from the familiarity with its organization and the many keyboard shortcuts that are now down to muscle-memory and all too essential to my workflows. On mobile, I've stuck with Android for its flexibility, though which phone is in my hand on any given day is a constant question. 

I keep an old pair of Monolith M570 open-back planar magnetic headphones around for focused listening and earbuds in my pocket to listen to podcasts on walks and bike rides. I keep a Logitech Wave Keys keyboard on my desk to enjoy its comfort and ergonomics as I type out thousands of words every week. Underneath my desk is a Lian Li 011 Air Mini case holding an ever-changing PC geared for testing speakers, monitors, gaming peripherals, and whatever else might come across my desk.
