Final Fantasy 7 Remake Director Defends Controversial Progression Feature

Originally released in 2020, with an expanded version called *FF7 Intergrade* in 2021, *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* is coming to Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2 in January 2026. The launch will include a new feature called Streamlined Progression, which lets players use simple cheats to easily overcome combat challenges. Five cheats have been announced: always-full health, magic points, Limit Gauge, ATB gauge, and dealing 9999 damage with every attack. Players can turn each cheat on or off as they like, giving them full control. However, not everyone is happy about this addition.
