The PC version of the game boasts significantly improved visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, sparking considerable community discussion about the need for a PS5 update. Currently, the PS5 version suffers from blurry visuals in performance mode, leaving base console owners with only the option of waiting for future patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges this, stating that improvements are feasible within the PS5's technical limitations: “After releasing the PC version promo, we received many requests for a similar PS5 update, and we'd like to explore that possibility, within the constraints of the PS5 version's performance.”
Players eagerly await Square Enix's response to these fan requests for enhanced console visuals. While the team is actively developing the sequel, Hamaguchi asks for patience, 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, noting its global recognition and award wins. The third installment presents unique challenges as the developers aim to expand the game's fanbase. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentions Grand Theft Auto VI among his noteworthy games of the year, expressing support for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following the extraordinary success of GTA V.
