FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, Square Enix’s latest RPG, will be getting a new patch that improves the visual quality of the game in Performance Mode—an option that players can pick if they want a ~60 FPS experience but can cope with what some critics have described as softer and blurrier graphics. The news comes from Naoki Hamaguchi, director of FFVII REBIRTH, who confirmed that one of the improvements would be better facial lighting.
Hamaguchi said:
“We’ve received a lot of feedback on whether the graphics in the performance mode will be improved or not. 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.”
“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.”
