Square Enix is currently running a substantial sale on the Nintendo eShop, bringing the prices of both Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth down to under $10 each. This presents an opportune moment for players to dive into or revisit the early installments of the Remake trilogy.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is available for $7.99, a significant reduction from its original $39.99 retail price. This digital version for the Switch 2 includes the Intergrade DLC, which adds Cloud and company's journey through Midgar along with Episode Yuffie, featuring the Wutai ninja and further lore expansion relevant to the broader Remake series. The game's performance on the Switch 2 was noted to be surprisingly stable, with frame rates remaining consistent even during combat. While resolution can occasionally dip, the enclosed environments of Midgar minimize the impact. A visual quirk involving character hair, similar to that seen in the Resident Evil 4 remake on Switch 2, has been observed.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is discounted to $7.49, down from $49.99. The game itself is on sale, and a deluxe edition DLC set, which includes in-game items, a digital art book, and a mini-soundtrack, is also available for $3, down from $20. It is important to note that this DLC does not contain any story expansions. Rebirth, being an open-world title, places a greater demand on the Switch 2 than its predecessor. Players may notice more frequent asset pop-in and less detailed character models compared to the PlayStation 5 version. However, the game generally runs well, with frame rate drops rarely occurring during critical gameplay moments or battles.
With Final Fantasy Revelation slated for release in April, these sales offer a timely opportunity for players to catch up on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake saga.
