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 currently suffers from blurry visuals in performance mode, leaving base console owners awaiting patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the numerous requests for a PS5 visual upgrade, stating that such improvements are feasible within the PS5's technical constraints.
"Following the PC version's promotional release, we've received many requests for a similar PS5 update. We aim to address this at some point, within the performance limitations of the PS5 version," Hamaguchi commented.
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix's response to these requests and potential console visual enhancements.
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 global recognition and numerous awards. The third installment presents unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fanbase. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also expressed interest in Grand Theft Auto VI, acknowledging the pressure on the Rockstar Games team due to GTA V's immense success.
