Are the visuals in the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo disappointing fans?

Complaints range from the lack of interactive foliage and muddy textures to technical issues and overall image quality. Players have also pointed out specific issues with the Unreal Engine 4 used in the game and questioned some design choices regarding asset placement.

It’s worth mentioning that the demo is not the final version of the game, and Square Enix still has time to polish it before the official launch. Additionally, post-launch patches are likely to further improve visuals and performance. Therefore, it’s premature to make final judgments solely based on the demo’s available content.

Discussions and Disappointment on Social Media

The visual shortcomings of the Rebirth demo have sparked lively discussions on social media platforms. A thread on Reddit titled ‘Amazing gameplay but some big concerns on graphics’ highlights the concerns raised by players. Some users have also noted similar visual inconsistencies in the 2020 release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake for the PlayStation 4.

While it’s unclear whether these issues will persist in the PlayStation 5 exclusive, it would be disappointing to see graphics flaws in a game built from the ground up for the new console.

Awaiting Square Enix’s Response

Given the concerns raised by players, I reached out to Square Enix for comment on the visual issues in the demo. At this time, I have not received a response. However, it’s important to remember that the demo is just a small portion of the game, and Square Enix may already be aware of these concerns and working to address them.

We will have to wait and see how things unfold when Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth officially launches on February 29th. It’s possible that any visual inconsistencies will be resolved by then or in subsequent updates.

Conclusion

While some players have expressed disappointment with the visuals in the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo, it’s important to remember that demos are not always representative of the final product. Square Enix has time to address any visual issues before the game’s official launch, and post-launch updates may further improve visuals and performance.

It’s understandable that fans have high expectations for a game built for the PlayStation 5, and it remains to be seen how the final version of the game will address these concerns. For now, we’ll have to wait patiently and hope that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth delivers the stunning visuals that fans are anticipating.
