Its a great game but the texture resolution on props/environmental assets is unacceptable I dont think its right for a AAA videogame company to put out a game for $69.99 with such low quality assets. The character models and Character textures look great but again the blurry textures on environmental assets is shocking for a game on PS5. I see hardcore FF7 fans on reddit defending the asset quality however nobody defended the apartment door textures on FF7 Remake but for some reason nobody cares about FF7 Rebirth's abundance of low quality assets.

Furesis2h ago

yea i don't think that's the reason here lol

repsahj41m ago

Lol, check Alan Wake 2 sales if your findings about texture resolution is true.

lucian22937m ago

the textures are barely that bad at all. sounds like you never played it and are just going by some random screenshots you see online.

unlike the first game where the texture issue was more glaring, i've not run into this at all in rebirth

It's funny how often the term "analyst" gets tossed around nowadays. But again, that's the only way they can remain relevant.

Battlestar236m ago

They should of released it on Xbox and PC as PS5 owners don't seem to buy JRPG'S. Also they could of made a deal with MS to have it on gamepass Day 1 with MS giving them a few billion to make up for sales.

Hopefully the new CEO of SE will cancel all exclusive agreements with Sony and make Part 3 and all future SE games multi-platform.

LMAO! Wishful thinking at its finest.

Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 to Be "Curtain Call" for Newly Introduced Characters From Remake & Rebirth

According to the devs, Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 will be "curtain call" for some of the newly introduced characters in Remake and Rebirth.

-Foxtrot9d ago

What about VII in general

It’s time to focus on other FF games rather than just FFVII

gold_drake8d ago

big nope haha

if they make newer 7 games woth the same quality they lut into reborth, im more than up for it.

newer titles will always be developed at the same time.

fsfsxii8d ago

Damn you always find something to complain about wtf

-Foxtrot8d ago

Hows that complaining? Not wanting something to be exploited forever and wanting other FF titles to be remade or get some love so their fans can enjoy it.

Got to love full on die hard trolls, fanboys and more being on here with no filter and yet you'll pick on me to complain about...

You got nothing to say other than to have a little bitch about me then take it to the PMs or f*** off

jambola8d ago

Think you hit a nerve 😂

fsfsxii8d ago

🤣🤣🤣 29315;🤣
Touch grass bro

KwietStorm_BLM8d ago

Literally every single time. No matter the game. No matter the topic. No matter the day of the week.

Tapani8d ago

Yeah he always just complains. When you point it out, he just starts complaining about you next.

What are you talking about ?? xvi's 2nd dlc just came out and xiv's new expansion comes out in a couple months . They've been feeding us good . A triple dose of FF in a span of a few months which is basically consuming a majority of my gaming time for the rest of the year.

Inverno8d ago

People love safe sequels, then complain when publishers make nothing original. They've made 1 actual mainline sequel since 15, no clever spinoffs, people forget how many games they used to make during the PS1 and 2 days. Definitely time to move on from milking 7, end it on a high note.

Armyofdarkness8d ago

I agree. I love VII but this remake trilogy should be it. Please no crap like Advent Children or Dirge of Cerberus after this.

franwex8d ago

In 20 years we will get the remake of the remake of FF7. Looking forward to it.

Also, screw FF8, hehe.

MrNinosan8d ago

I mean, there is 1 studio working on VII content, and other studios working on XVII and other projects.

I want the VII games to keep coming til I die.
I mean, the last 20 years of Final Fantasy games has been good but none has been as good as VII Rebirth.

JL29308d ago

Yes, time for them to move away from the best thing they got going. Makes sense.

Cacabunga8d ago

What makes it time to focus on other ff?
If the game is successful and the trilogy isn’t out yet, why should they move on to something else?
I want FF8 remake but id rather have the episode 3 before.
I’m sure FF17 is currently in development

That'll be great if ps6 had a one disc edition using that new physical media format that was announced recently.

gold_drake8d ago

i think we'll get a collection for the next gen

XiNatsuDragnel8d ago

I hope so I heard of a pb disc announcement too so it'll be perfect but I know companies afraid of the power of physical media lol.

fr0sty8d ago

The problem with those discs is the same as all disc formats, high seek time (latency) and low transfer rates.

XiNatsuDragnel8d ago

Fair but discs are a way to preserve things and over time disc's do improve look at bluray to 4k bluray for example it's not like disc's can't be improved upon I rather have disc consoles with digital only consoles to create more options.

gold_drake8d ago

thats ok, but i do like the new introduced characters

Lexreborn28d ago

I’m 110 hours into Rebirth, I have been doing EVERY side quest, battle and exploring the map. I absolutely love the way they expanded the narrative for all characters.

Even the sub stories actually feel like they are done well with Kyrie and her grand mother. Leslie impacted by don corneo. Chadley having a connection to Hojo and more.

Barrett is such a good person caring and considerate, heck when they were in the mythril mines and Tifa was concerned for the robes. Cloud was dismissive but Barrett saw Tifas sadness and offered himself to check on them to make her feel better.

That’s one of MANY interactions that just landed for me so well. I’m so glad I chose to take my time and appreciate this game

gold_drake10d ago

huh?

she was already plenty powerful even without rebirth, especially if you read the novals and watched the movie.

it definetly was a battle between her and Sephiroth and cloud was just there for show ha.

MeteorPanda10d ago

the end part with Cloud basically being a puppet and Aerith knowing and playing alone...shivers.

VenomUK10d ago

DON’T SPOIL story, or reveal changes about characters for a BRAND NEW GAME in the headline - people should be able to avoid spoilers in articles on N4G.

MeteorPanda9d ago

@VenomUK

The goddamn TITLE is exactly what youre complaining about lol.

Knightofelemia10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Would be cool to see Aerith with yellow hair or blue hair yelling KAMEHAMEHA lol. Also would be cool seeing Aerith and Tifa do the fusion dance and wear the potara earrings I wonder what they would be called when fused. She all ready has the power she is literally part of the life stream of the planet.

GoodGuy0910d ago

I still have no idea what happened at the end of rebirth lol.

spambot081510d ago

original game has it's status because of her and last part will most likely be about finding out how to get everyone on her path of whisper white so of course she is the main character
