As fans dig into the new 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo, som⛄e players are expressing concerns over what they perceive as subpar visuals in certain areļ·½as.

It's worth clarifying that demo builds aren't necessarily representative of their respective full releases, and in this case, 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth still has 20 days before launch for Square Enix to polish it up. Of course, it'll certainly receive patches post-launch that'll further improve visuals and performance, so these are dšŸ·efinitely some premature judgments simply based on what's available in the demo. 

Nonetheless, a whole bunch of folks on social media are disappointed by t🦩he demo's visual presentation, whether it's the lack of interactive foliage, muddy textures, technical issues, or just the image quality overall.

It seems the visual shortcomingāœ…s aren't specific to the demo's Performance or Graphics pre-sets, so it's not something you can fix just by tweaking the graphics settings. But regardless, it would be surprising to see a game built from the gšŸ—¹round up for PS5 have to suffer such compromises just to maintain a steady frame rate. 

Meanwhile, the prevalence of complaints about the Rebirtā­•h demo's graphics has prompted this very entertaining Reddit thread I just couldn't help but ꦗshare:

that similar visual inconsistencies were present in 2020's Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Although I can't personally attest to that having played some 80 hours of thaꦅt game, it would be disappointing to see graphics flaws from a PS4 game persist in a PS5 exclusive. Regardless, I've reached out to Square Enix for comment and I'll update this article if I hear back.

Otherwise, we'll just have to see how things shake out when Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launšŸ’›ches ošŸŽn February 29.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on t✨he side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
