The PC version of the game boasts superior visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, sparking community discussion regarding a much-needed PS5 update. The PS5 version currently suffers from blurry visuals in performance mode, leaving base console owners with little recourse but to await patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the possibility of improvements, stating that enhancements are feasible within the PS5's technical constraints.
"Following the PC version's promotional release, we've received numerous requests for a similar PS5 update. We intend to address this at some point, while remaining mindful of the PS5 version's performance limitations," Hamaguchi commented.
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix's response to these requests and a subsequent visual upgrade for consoles.
While the team is diligently working on the sequel, Hamaguchi requests patience from fans, 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 numerous awards. The development team faces unique challenges in expanding the fanbase for the third installment. 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.
