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, particularly in performance mode, suffers from noticeable blurriness, leaving base console owners with little option but to await patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the player feedback and the possibility of improvements, stating, "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, while working within the PS5's technical constraints."
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix addressing these concerns and enhancing the console visuals. While the team is fully engaged in developing the sequel, Hamaguchi requests patience, promising further details at a later date. He reflects on 2024 as a successful year for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the trilogy, citing 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.
