The PC version of the game not only boasts significantly superior 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 struggles with blurry visuals when in performance mode, leaving base console owners eagerly awaiting patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has acknowledged that improvements are feasible within the PS5's technical constraints. "After releasing the promo for the PC version, we received numerous requests for a similar update for the PS5 version, and I believe we'd like to pursue this within the limits of what's achievable on the PS5," Hamaguchi stated.
Players are hopeful that Square Enix will heed these fan requests and enhance the visual experience on consoles. Despite the team's focus on developing the sequel, Hamaguchi has asked fans to remain patient, promising that more details will be shared in due time. He reflected on 2024 as a successful year for Final Fantasy Rebirth, the second installment of the trilogy, which garnered attention and numerous awards from players worldwide. Looking ahead, the third installment of Final Fantasy VII presents unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fan base.
Interestingly, Hamaguchi also expressed his admiration for Grand Theft Auto VI this year, noting its significance among other titles. He offered his support to the Rockstar Games team, acknowledging the immense pressure they face following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
