Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Reviews

Another incoming patch to fix performance mode




Square Enix will release a patch for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to improve the graphics of its Performance Mode.

Speaking to One More Game, Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi said one of the main pieces of FF7 Rebirth player feedback Square Enix has received so far is regarding the graphics in Performance Mode, which prioritises a consistent frame-rate.

"We’ve received a lot of feedback on whether the graphics in the performance mode will be improved or not," Hamaguchi said. "We hear you, and we are currently working on an update patch to improve that aspect. I don’t think the release date would be far away from now."

One part of this patch will focus particularly on the lighting on character faces in certain parts of Rebirth, he added. "We have heard from players that in certain situations, the facial lighting makes some character shadows look very scary. So that’s one part of the update that we are working on."

This isn't the first time graphical complaints have arisen around Rebirth despite it launching just a few days ago on February 29, as the demo released by Square Enix earlier in February also raised concerns. The developer made "minor graphical fixes" and other adjustments which were also applied to the full game, after the likes of IGN's own performance review said Performance Mode comes with a "drastic clarity and detail reduction".




Coal of Man can finally give it a shot after hes done with remake.

Very good

[obmas]

I'm skeptical about them fixing Performance mode lol

It took the tech geniuses at Guerilla 6months to fix HFW's performance mode. But they cooked and it turned out amazing after several failed attempts.

Speaking of the gym stuff, one of the dudes in there said “eat a dick”.

Wasn’t expecting that lol

cried at the queens blood tourney, and that was all optional. the side content delivers hard.

At this time last year nobody would have said anything about Baldurs Gate. So who knows, but there will definitely be at least one other contender.

Just life in general getting in the way, and honestly forgot about it. So it all works out! ha.

[BigDeeps01]

Can someone explain this to me is this a new FF7 remake I thought they already did one?

The original is so big, the complete remake will consist of 3 games.

Oh chit ok based

[twovalvekid]

I just got past the first couple of side quests with Aerith in sector 5 in remake. The extra detail they are adding....make it makes sense it will be 3 disks just like the original. ha.

The weird thing for me to get now is that weapons for each character just mean different abilities and perks it seems. So in theory, Cloud's initial buster sword could be just upgraded along the way to be just as strong as a weapon you get later in the game, the other weapons just give other abilities to learn and switch back.

Amirite?

the side missions in remake are really just to get a bit of extra combat in if you want, skip em otherwise. Rebirth they are much much more legit.

Yes with weapons they have different stats, the main thing is permanently learning the ability the weapon comes from and then you dont need that weapon to use the ability.

That's what ive started to figure out. Upgrade them all as you go and use the one you want/works best for your style or what you like to look at on the back of cloud.

I just got the nail bat. It looks fukking retarded and so i started looking and realizing theyre all the "same" once you upgrade, they all just provide a new skill to learn.

[awwchit2]

I’ve just been doing all the side quests before I cross the swamp lol.

I’m 9 hours in. Just trying to explore every nook and cranny and whatever side thing comes up.

I really don’t see how they could have made this game better. It’s a ****in delight.

Like what more could they have done??? Kalm in itself is big and super detailed, felt alive.

Can’t wait to see other towns I.e. gold saucer

Oh wow, even the devs recognize there's an issue, it's almost like I wasn't talking out of my ass. Lol. Yeah brahs I'm like 9 hours in on Remake now and for the first time playing it on my OLED, I def notice it looks blurry but it's not BROKEN blurry like Rebirth looked.

Anyway hope yall are having a great time with the game. Even though it's my 3rd playthrough of Remake it's been enough time of a gap where I'm still able to have fun and feel nostalgic. I only just set off with Aerith in her village to do quests, have a long way to go but I'm super pumped for Intermission. Fuark.

[MusicProducer]

I wanna play this, but hell if I'm gonna buy a whole ps5 just to play one game. Damn.

[Coal Man]

I wanna play this, but hell if I'm gonna buy a whole ps5 just to play one game. Damn.

Would you have bought a PS5 if it had about 12 cool games you couldn't get anywhere else?

The story goes off the rails at some point apparently but they nailed this game either way. Have fun mane and take your time

[BigBallsMcgee]

There are other games on the ps5 too.

It depends how big of a gamer you are but this game is worth buying a console for assuming you could get a used one for less and then sell it when done

[awwchit2]

I wanna play this, but hell if I'm gonna buy a whole ps5 just to play one game. Damn.

Ghost of Tsushima
Forbidden West
Spiderman

There’s 3 must play games.

Ghost of Tsushima doesn’t get enough love that game was incredible. Where tf is the sequel

All PC games. At this point I'd suggest just buy a PC(if he has knowledge on it), get Tsushima now and then buy Tsushima 2 on PC in 2026. Remake is already on PC and remaster will come in less than a year.

i bought a PS5 just for this game.no regrets.
