The PC version of the game boasts superior visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, prompting community discussions about the need for a PS5 update. The PS5 version, especially in performance mode, suffers from blurry graphics, leaving base console owners reliant on future patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the numerous requests for a PS5 visual upgrade, stating that such improvements are feasible within the console's technical constraints.
"Following the PC version's promotional release, we've received significant requests for a similar PS5 update, and we intend to explore this possibility, considering the PS5 version's performance limitations," Hamaguchi commented.
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix addressing these requests and enhancing the console visuals.
While the team is actively developing the sequel, Hamaguchi requests patience from fans, promising further details at a later date. He highlights 2024 as a successful year for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the trilogy, citing its global recognition and award wins. The third installment presents unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fanbase. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also expressed his admiration for Grand Theft Auto VI, acknowledging the immense pressure on the Rockstar Games team due to the phenomenal success of GTA V.
