Mar 03, 2024 2:43 PM

Excitement for the newly released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been dampened for some due to performance mode issues. Players have reported unsatisfactory graphics in this mode, but there's good news on the horizon. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has acknowledged the problem and assured that a patch is imminent. The update aims to address concerns like unsettling character shadows caused by facial lighting. This eagerly awaited patch will further polish a game that has been hailed for its ambition, despite some flaws. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which launched earlier this week, is the second installment in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series, arriving four years after its predecessor. In related news, Final Fantasy 7 Remake also received an update recently, which altered the game's final line, sparking widespread discussion among fans.

When can players expect the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth performance mode patch to be released?

While an exact date hasn't been confirmed, the game director Naoki Hamaguchi has indicated that the release of the patch for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's performance mode is not far off.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake project, continues the retelling of the classic 1997 RPG, Final Fantasy 7. The original title was renowned for its deep narrative, compelling characters, and innovative gameplay, which combined 3D graphics with pre-rendered backgrounds. It introduced iconic figures like Cloud Strife and Sephiroth and explored heavy themes such as life, identity, and the preservation of the environment. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth aims to recreate the magic of the original while providing a modernized gameplay experience on next-generation platforms. With its blend of action, stunning visuals, and a gripping storyline, it's set to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers to the series.
