What the PS5 Pro Could Mean for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3

Key Takeaways

  • Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s PS5 Pro enhancement may set the stage for improved visuals in the upcoming Part 3.
  • Playing FF7 Rebirth in Graphics Mode sacrifices frame rate for image quality, while Performance Mode offers higher fps.
  • The decision to enhance FF7 Rebirth for the PS5 Pro hints at Part 3 being developed with better visuals in mind.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the latest news about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s PS5 Pro enhancement has sent shivers down my spine. I remember playing the original Final Fantasy 7 back on my trusty old PlayStation and the sheer joy it brought me.

The long-awaited reveal of the PS5 Pro has stirred up quite a buzz in the gaming world, primarily due to its $700 price point. Many find this steep because the upgrades seem minimal compared to the base model, despite boasting faster memory and a superior GPU. Simultaneously, the PS5 Pro’s debut coincides with several games receiving upgraded versions tailored for the new hardware. One of these games is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which already looks stunning, but preliminary feedback suggests that its enhanced PS5 Pro version could be even more visually appealing.

It’s perfectly logical that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been chosen as one of the enhanced titles for the PS5 Pro due to its breathtaking graphics. This enhancement also hints at something intriguing regarding the development of the next game in the series, which is still unnamed: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3. If FF7 Rebirth can deliver even more impressive visuals on the PS5 Pro, it could suggest that the final installment of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy might feature even more stunning graphics, as long as it is released before the PS6.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s PS5 Pro Enhancement Could Mean Big Things for Part 3’s Visuals

Playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in Its Graphics Mode Is a Rough Experience

On most PlayStation 5 games, you’ll find there are generally two play modes: one optimized for high-quality graphics (referred to as ‘Fidelity’) and another focused on smooth gameplay performance (known as ‘Performance’). Essentially, the main distinction between these modes lies in frame rate and image sharpness. Similarly, the upcoming title Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for PS5 offers a Graphics Mode and Performance Mode to cater to players’ preferences.

In the Performance Mode of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you can enjoy a smooth 60 frames per second, but at the cost of significantly reduced resolution. When it first launched, many players found the Performance Mode to be less than ideal due to some disorienting motion blur that didn’t justify the higher frame rate. However, after a patch, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Performance Mode might even outperform its Graphics Mode.

The Graphics Mode in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth aims to present the game’s visuals as originally intended, but this comes at the cost of frame rates, with a maximum limit set at 30 frames per second. If players are willing to tolerate the lower frame rate, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth looks stunningly beautiful. However, due to the growing demand for higher frame rates in the gaming world, the Performance Mode might offer a more enjoyable experience when playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s PS5 Pro Enhancement Suggests Part 3 Is Being Developed With the PS5 Pro in Mind

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t fully anticipate the improvements Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will receive on the PS5 Pro until I get my hands on it. From what we’ve seen so far in Sony’s recent PS5 Pro presentation, it appears that the game might run smoother and boast better visuals compared to its base model counterpart. It seems they’re aiming for a sweet spot between Graphics and Performance Modes, offering both high frame rates and improved image quality. If the PS5 Pro can push FF7 Rebirth in this direction, it could potentially set the stage for the third part of the trilogy, hinting at what we might expect from future iterations.

If Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is released before the PS6, it might be designed to take advantage of the capabilities of the PS5 Pro. This means that the standard PS5 experience for Part 3 may not match the performance of the PS5 Pro, but it could still provide enhanced visuals for the base model PS5. The challenge would be to ensure that Part 3 runs smoothly on the base model PS5 while prioritizing the PS5 Pro’s capabilities, avoiding the graphical issues experienced by FF7 Rebirth in its Graphics Mode.
