Square Enix Hints at Visual Upgrades for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PS5

The PC version of the game not only boasts significantly superior visuals compared to the PS5 version but also offers a more stable performance, sparking discussions within the gaming community about the necessity for an update on Sony's console.

Currently, the PS5 version suffers from blurry visuals in performance mode, leaving base console owners with no choice but to await patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has expressed that enhancements are feasible within the technical constraints of the platform.

"Following the release of the PC version's promotional material, we've been inundated with requests for a similar update for the PS5 version," Hamaguchi stated. "We are keen to make these improvements at some point, within the limits of what's possible with the PS5's performance."

Fans are eagerly anticipating that Square Enix will heed their calls and enhance the console's visual quality.

While the development team is diligently working on the sequel, Hamaguchi has urged fans to be patient, promising more details in the future. He highlighted that 2024 was a successful year for Final Fantasy Rebirth, the second installment of the trilogy, which garnered global attention and numerous awards. As the developers prepare for the third installment of Final Fantasy VII, they face unique challenges in their quest to expand the game's fan base.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned his interest in Grand Theft Auto VI this year, expressing support for the Rockstar Games team. He acknowledged the immense pressure they are under, given the phenomenal success of GTA V.
