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

The PC version of the game not only boasts significantly enhanced visuals compared to the PS5 version but also offers a more stable performance. This has sparked a lively discussion within the gaming community about the necessity for an update to Sony's console version. Currently, players of the PS5 version are experiencing blurry visuals when using performance mode, and those with the base console have no choice but to wait for forthcoming patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has acknowledged that improvements are indeed feasible within the technical constraints of the PS5.

“After releasing the promotional material for the PC version, we've been inundated with requests for a similar update for the PS5 version,” Hamaguchi stated. “We are keen to make this happen at some point, within the limits of what's technically possible with the PS5's performance capabilities.”

The gaming community is hopeful that Square Enix will respond to these fan requests and enhance the visual experience on the console. While the team is diligently working on the sequel, Hamaguchi has asked fans to be patient as more information will be forthcoming. He reflected on 2024 as a successful year for Final Fantasy Rebirth, the second installment in the trilogy, which garnered attention and accolades from players worldwide.

Looking ahead, the third installment of Final Fantasy VII is poised to face unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fan base. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also expressed his admiration for Grand Theft Auto VI, which caught his attention this year. He offered words of support to the Rockstar Games team, acknowledging the immense pressure they face following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
