The PC version of the game boasts superior visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, prompting community discussions regarding a much-needed PS5 update. The PS5 version, particularly in performance mode, suffers from noticeable blurriness, leaving base console owners with little recourse but to await future patches.
Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the player feedback and the possibility of improvements. He states, "Following the PC version's promotional release, we've received numerous requests for a similar PS5 update. We intend to explore this possibility, working within the PS5's technical constraints."
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix's response to these requests for enhanced console visuals.
While the team is actively developing the sequel, Hamaguchi requests patience, promising further details at a later date. He highlights 2024's success for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the trilogy, noting its global recognition and award wins. The third installment presents unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fanbase. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentions Grand Theft Auto VI as a noteworthy title this year, expressing support for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following GTA V's phenomenal success.
