Square Enix took to the Japanese social media account for the Final Fantasy VII games to note that the FFVII Remake Intergrade Switch 2 eShop listings featured incorrect required memory, with the number of free GB space needed being more than expected across the board. It noted that, in many cases, the amount suggested on the product page it is at least 5GB less than it should be. This issue applies worldwide, as pages on both the US and Australian storefronts show the incorrect figures.

In the case of the standard copy of FFVII Remake Intergrade for the Switch 2, which the Australian product page is an example of, Nintendo’s listing mentioning memory needs said, “Regardless of the memory requirement listed below, a download of up to 90GB will be required.” Square Enix’s update noted the actual amount will be 95GB. The limited edition pages’ message stated, “Regardless of the memory requirement listed below, a download of up to 93.8GB will be required.” Instead, Square Enix amended that to note 99GB is the correct amount. 

No matter which version of FFVII Remake Intergrade someone gets for the Switch 2, it is going to end up taking the same amount of GB on someone’s memory card or the built-in space. This is because the physical copy is a Game-Key Card that doesn’t include the game on the cart. Someone still needs to completely download the JRPG to their system even with that.
