Fort Condor is returning as a minigame in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and its visuals contain a shout-out to FF7 on the original PlayStation. Final Fantasy 7 had ground-breaking visuals when it was first released, but they haven’t aged well.
The issue with FF7’s visual style was that it wasn’t consistent. The characters had chibi style character models on the overworld, with exaggerated Popeye-style forearms. This was in reference to the character models used in all of the Final Fantasy games released up to that point, which were a result of the limited hardware of the NES and SNES. Once the characters entered a battle, they suddenly had realistic proportions. The FMV sequences were a toss-up, as some used the chibi character models, and others used realistic proportions. The other mainline Final Fantasy games on the PS1 look much better in hindsight, as FF8 kept to the realistic style, while FF9 kept to the chibi style.
FF7 Remake has some of the best visuals in any video game to date. The character models retain realistic proportions throughout the game, with no abrupt shift in styles. The INTERmission DLC for the PS5-exclusive Intergrade will pay homage to the blocky character models from FF7 that fans fell in love with years ago.
Final Fantasy 7: The Blocky Bodies
The Fort Condor tower-defense game from the original FF7 will appear as a minigame in INTERmission. Fort Condor is now a board game that is enjoyed by the denizens of Midgar. This version of Fort Condor works in a similar manner to Auto Chess, with players putting pieces on a board and sending them toward the enemy. Square Enix has released footage of the Fort Condor game in action, and it contains a shout-out to the original game.
The Shinra soldiers that the player can send into battle in Fort Condor have the same proportions as the old character models from FF7. They have the blocky forearms, legs, and heads of the PS1 FF7 characters. This is the perfect way to include a graphical homage to the older games, as using something like this in the main game would be incredibly distracting. The Metal Gear Solid games liked to include character skins of the PS1-era characters, and they always looked bizarre in the polished worlds of the later titles. One can only imagine what a full character skin of a blocky arm Cloud would look like in Final Fantasy 7 Remake on the PS4 or PS5.
