Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Visual Issues Are Seemingly Caused by Post Processing at 1/4 Resolution

The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth playable demo comes with some evident visual issues, especially in Performance Mode, but it seems like low resolution is not what is causing everything to look so blurry. Commenting on the demo's visual issues on X/Twitter, Digital Foundry's John Linneman said that the game has some pretty surprising and serious issues. Alongside some Unreal Engine 4 baggage, the second entry in the trilogy suffers from some strange design choices regarding how assets are jammed together. It has some pretty surprising and serious issues. A lot of UE4 baggage but also some bizarre design choices in […]

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Ending Will Have a Rather Different Impact Than Remake’s; Creative Director Is Nervous About Its Reception

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's ending is going to have a different impact than Remake's ending, according to the game's Creative Director. Speaking with Japanese publication Automaton, as translated by @aitaikimochi on X/Twitter, Creative Director Tetsuya Nomura commented on the game's ending, saying that it will have a rather different impact on players than Remake's ending, which was created to surprise the audience. As he doesn't really have a good read on how the audience will react, he is way more nervous this time about its reception. This seems to hint, once again, at the ultimate fate of a certain character, […]

Square Enix Will Soon Restructure Its Development System to Improve Game Quality and Profit Margins

Square Enix is planning a major internal restructure of its game development system, as reported by Bloomberg Japan. The news came directly from Representative Director and President Takashi Kiryu, who spoke at the financial results briefing for analysts held on Monday. We are reviewing from scratch what the organizational structure is to materialize the contents of the pipeline and what is best. We will announce it at least this spring.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Hands-on Preview – The Calm Before Kalm

In less than four weeks, players will be able to play through the second entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy on PlayStation.

At the moment, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth remains a PS5 console exclusive but certainly has the possibility of coming to PC by way of Epic Games Store and/or Steam in a matter of months. During our preview event, Square-Enix allowed us free reign to explore […]

The State […]

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Humongous File Size Revealed; Playable Demo With Save Transferring Discovered

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's file size is going to be absolutely humongous, which is not that surprising for a game that is being released on two discs. As reported by PlayStation Game Size on X/Twitter, the second part of the remake trilogy will be 145.250 GB big in its 1.001.000 version, so the file size could be even bigger if the game is updated before launch. Users will have two days to pre-load the game, as pre-loading will begin on February 27th. 🚨 FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞 : 145.250 GB- 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 : 1.001.000 - 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 ($𝟲𝟵.𝟵𝟵):Pre-Load […]
