The PC version of the game boasts superior visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, prompting widespread community discussion regarding the need for a PS5 update. The PS5 version currently suffers from blurry visuals in performance mode, leaving base console owners with only the option of awaiting future patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the possibility of improvements, stating that they are exploring options within the PS5's technical limitations.
"Following the PC version's promotional release, we've received numerous requests for a similar PS5 update. We intend to pursue this at some point, while remaining mindful of the PS5 version's performance capabilities," Hamaguchi commented.
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix's response to these requests and potential visual enhancements on consoles.
While the team is diligently working on 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 development team faces unique challenges in expanding the fanbase for the upcoming third installment. 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.
