Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Early Buy Deal Ends January 31

Fans of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2 have until January 31, 2026, to grab a limited early purchase edition. This version bundles the full remake game, extra content, and a port of the original 1997 Final Fantasy VII game. The offer runs out at 23:59 on that date, after which buyers miss out on the classic game for free.

Background

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade first came out on PlayStation in 2021. It retells the start of the original 1997 game's story, focusing on the escape from Midgar. The game follows Cloud Strife, a mercenary who joins the group Avalanche to fight Shinra, a company draining the planet's life energy called Mako.

This Intergrade version adds Episode Intermission, a side story where players control Yuffie Kisaragi, a ninja from Wutai. She sneaks into Midgar to steal a powerful materia from Shinra. The game mixes real-time action with turn-based commands, letting players switch characters, use materia for magic, and call summons.

Square Enix brought the game to Nintendo Switch 2 recently. Reviews call it a strong port with good visuals and performance on the new console. The story stays true to the original but adds new scenes, characters, and depth to Midgar's world. Midgar appears as a huge, layered city with industrial sectors full of detail.

The original Final Fantasy VII from 1997 became a hit on PlayStation. It shaped many role-playing games with its story, characters, and battles. A standalone port of that classic game hit the eShop in 2019 for $15.99. Now, this limited deal lets buyers get it bundled without extra cost.

Key Details

The limited early purchase edition costs $39.99. It includes the full Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade game plus these items:

• FF7R Episode Intermission with Yuffie
• Weapon: Cacstar (for Yuffie episode only)
• Armor: Midgar Bangle, Shinra Bangle, Corneo Armlet
• Accessories: Superstar Belt, Mako Crystal, Seraphic Earrings
• Summoning materia: Carbuncle, Chocobo Chick, Cactuar
• Final Fantasy VII (ported original game)

All extra items come in a gift box from the main menu. The Cacstar weapon works only in the Yuffie episode.

Deluxe Edition Option

For $59.99, the Digital Deluxe version adds a digital art book and mini-soundtrack. It keeps all the early purchase bonuses, including the original FF7. Prices match local currencies. Buyers who own the original FF7 can still get this bundle.

A standard edition without extras exists too. People should check to avoid buying duplicates. The game runs on Nintendo Switch 2 with features like stunning visuals for Midgar, dynamic combat, and a remastered soundtrack that changes with the action.

"Players can still take advantage of a limited-time early purchase bonus, available until Jan. 31, 2026, whereby purchasing the game now includes the original Final Fantasy VII." – Square Enix press release

The offer started with the Switch 2 launch. It gives early buyers the classic game right away upon purchase. After January 31, the bundle ends, and the original FF7 goes back to separate sale.

What This Means

This deal makes the game a better value for newcomers and fans. Getting the remake, Yuffie story, extras, and original FF7 for $39.99 saves money compared to buying them apart. The original alone costs $15.99, so the bundle adds real worth.

For Switch 2 owners, it boosts the console's appeal with a major title. The port handles the game's big world and fights well, using tech like DLSS for smooth play. People without the original FF7 get a chance to play the game that started it all, tied to the remake's modern take.

Once the offer ends, prices stay the same for standard and deluxe, but no free original game. Buyers have about a week from now to act, as today marks January 23, 2026. Square Enix set this to push early sales on new platforms like Switch 2 and Xbox.

The game fits ESRB ratings with warnings for flashing lights. It suits single players with deep quests, mini-games, and story branches in Midgar. Characters like Barret, Tifa, and Aerith join Cloud in fights that shape the planet's future.

This limited time pushes quick decisions. Stores like Nintendo's eShop handle digital sales. Physical versions might have other bonuses like reversible covers or card packs, but the digital early deal focuses on the classic game add-on.

Square Enix plans more parts to remake the full original story. This Intergrade covers just Midgar, setting up bigger adventures. The early bonus bridges old and new fans across generations.
