The PC version of the game not only boasts significantly enhanced visuals compared to the PS5 version but also offers a more stable performance, sparking discussions within the gaming community about the necessity for an update on Sony's console.
Currently, the PS5 version suffers from blurry visuals when set to performance mode, leaving base console owners with no choice but to await future patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has acknowledged that improvements are feasible within the technical constraints of the platform.
"Following the release of the PC version's promotional material, we've been inundated with requests for a similar update for the PS5. We're keen to make this happen, within the limits of what's possible with the PS5's performance," Hamaguchi stated.
The gaming community is eagerly anticipating that Square Enix will heed these fan requests and enhance the visual quality on consoles.
While the development team is diligently working on the sequel, Hamaguchi has asked fans for patience, promising that more information will be forthcoming. He highlighted that 2024 was a successful year for Final Fantasy Rebirth, the second installment in the trilogy, which garnered global attention and numerous awards. As the developers look forward to the third installment of Final Fantasy VII, they face unique challenges in their efforts to expand the game's fan base.
Interestingly, Hamaguchi also expressed his admiration for Grand Theft Auto VI this year, acknowledging the immense pressure on the Rockstar Games team following the phenomenal success of GTA V. He extended his support, recognizing the challenges they face in meeting high expectations.
