The PC version of the game boasts superior visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, prompting community discussions about a much-needed PS5 update. The PS5 version, especially in performance mode, suffers from noticeable blurriness, leaving base console owners with little choice but to await patches. However, game director Naoki Hamaguchi assures players that improvements are feasible, acknowledging the PS5's technical constraints.
"Following the PC version's promotional release, we've received numerous requests for a similar PS5 update. We aim to deliver this at some point, working within the performance limitations of the PS5 version," Hamaguchi stated.
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix's response to these requests, hoping for enhanced console visuals.
While the team is diligently 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, noting 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 admiration for Grand Theft Auto VI, acknowledging the immense pressure on the Rockstar Games team due to GTA V's phenomenal success.
