The PC version of the game boasts superior visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, prompting community calls for a PS5 update. The PS5 version, particularly in performance mode, suffers from blurry graphics, leaving base console owners reliant on future patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the player demand, stating that improvements are feasible within the PS5's technical constraints: "Following the PC version's promotional release, we've received numerous requests for a similar PS5 update, and we aim to address this eventually, within the performance limitations of the PS5 version."
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix's response to these requests for enhanced console visuals.
While the team is actively developing the sequel, Hamaguchi requests 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, citing global recognition and award wins. The third installment presents unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fanbase. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also notes his interest in Grand Theft Auto VI, expressing support for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following GTA V's phenomenal success.
