The PC version of the game boasts significantly improved visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, sparking considerable community discussion regarding the need for a PS5 update. Currently, the PS5 version suffers from blurry visuals in performance mode, leaving base console owners with only the option of waiting for future patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges this, stating that improvements are feasible within the PS5's technical limitations: “After releasing the PC version's promotional material, we received numerous requests for a similar PS5 update, and we intend to explore this possibility, considering the performance constraints of the PS5 version.”
Players eagerly anticipate Square Enix responding positively to these fan requests and enhancing the console visuals. While the team is actively developing the sequel, Hamaguchi requests patience, promising further details at a later date. He highlights 2024 as a successful year for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second installment in the trilogy, noting its global acclaim and numerous awards. The third installment presents unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fanbase. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also expressed interest in Grand Theft Auto VI, offering support to the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
