The PC version of the game not only boasts significantly superior visuals compared to the PS5 version but also delivers a more stable performance, sparking discussions within the gaming community about the necessity for an update on Sony's console. Currently, players on the PS5 are facing issues with blurry visuals when using performance mode, leaving base console owners with no choice but to await patches for improvement. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has acknowledged that enhancements are feasible within the technical constraints of the platform. He stated, “After releasing the promo for the PC version, we received a lot of requests for a similar update for the PS5 version, and I think we'd like to do it at some point within the limits of what's possible with the PS5 version's performance.” Fans are eagerly anticipating that Square Enix will heed these requests and enhance the console visuals.
While the development team is diligently working on the sequel, Hamaguchi has asked fans to remain patient as more information will be disclosed in due time. He highlighted that 2024 was a successful year for Final Fantasy Rebirth, the second installment of the trilogy, which garnered attention and accolades from players worldwide. Looking ahead, the third installment of Final Fantasy VII poses 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 the immense pressure on the Rockstar Games team following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
