In an interview with Japanese site Gamer, Square Enix producer Yoshinori Kitase said: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth this is a’PS5 exclusive as the remake’s “extensive” game world necessarily requires the speed of the gameSSD your console.
“Of course it’s a PS5 dedicated because of the graphics quality and the speed of the SSD,” says Kitase. “As the adventure takes place in a vast world after escaping Midgar, the downloads represent an extreme bottleneck. We found the PS5 specs necessary to overcome this barrier and navigate the game world comfortably.”
As we know, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Rebirth isn’t coming to PS4. So from Kitase’s words we learn that the reason lies in the higher graphics quality achievable on current generation hardware, in addition to loading times that can be very long with an older generation console’s Hard Drive.
On the other hand, this is a pre-PC release (considering that Episode 1 hits Steam and the Epic Games Store) or a future Xbox Series X | It should not exclude S.
Countless new details about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth have emerged, thanks to interviews recently published by Kitase and Tetsuya Nomura. For example, we learned that since the release of FF7 Remake Intergrade on PS5, “Chapter 2” development has been simplified and will be a massive game that won’t spoil the look of the original PS1.
