Final Fantasy 14 Patch 6.57 Gives Raiders Good News

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's director, Naoki Hamaguchi, has claimed a patch to address the game's graphics in performance mode is in development and will be released soon. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launched on February 29 after much anticipation. The story continues on from the previous game's ending, following Cloud and his party as they find a way to stop Sephiroth and save the world. One of the things that Rebirth was praised for was its presentation, having incredibly detailed graphics.

It’s finally here! Yes, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is finally here, and that means that gamers can FINALLY continue the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barrett, Red XIII, and the new friends they’ll make along the way as they travel through the world of Gaia and attempt to stop Sephiroth! But before you go into your adventure, there is one last message you should hear. Specifically, the leads behind this incredible remake title came together for one last “thank you” and a statement about the game’s launch and what it means to them to have this game out amongst players finally.

Here’s a story that honestly has a bit of “history” attached to it in a way you might not recall. You see, in the earliest days of gaming, the phrase “going gold” meant that you had finished the game and put everything on a literal gold-style disc so you could hand it off to the people making copies of your game and thus get them into the hands of the public. The problem is that if you gave the people the wrong disc? You were screwed. What does that have to do with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth? Well, in Japan, a certain ‘mistake’ has come to life with how the discs were printed.

We’re almost there! We’re almost at the release date for the second title in the “remake saga” for Square Enix’s beloved title. The game is anticipated in so many ways it’s hard to define, so that’s why you might be surprised that Final Fantasy VII Remake, the game that kicked the remake saga, has just gotten an update! Given that it’s been four years since the initial remake title dropped, you might have to wonder why they’re updating anything now. The answer is that some small changes to Tifa and Aerith have been done to possibly “tie into” the upcoming game more.

In the video game industry, many people stick around with the company they’re attached to for quite a while for multiple reasons. They might just like the company they work at. Or, they might be trying to gain “higher ranks” there. Another reason might be they know that their talents or ideas might be more appreciated at that particular company because they’ve worked there for so long. But, on the other side of things, people sometimes depart gaming companies somewhat randomly, including because they want to “move on to a new challenge,” which is what the creator of Final Fantasy did after a while at Square before it became Square Enix.

There are spoilers ahead for Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s ending.

In an interview that took place days before the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, game director Naoki Hamaguchi stated that he had no idea during the game's development that Sephiroth would be included in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a DLC fighter. Hamaguchi also stated that none of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth development team had a clue at the time either, and claimed that he only found out when the public did.

The reviews are in for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, with the game finding itself as the fifth highest-rated Final Fantasy game to date. When Square Enix first announced its plans to remake Final Fantasy 7, many assumed that the game would be a simple redo of the original, but with upgraded graphics to meet modern standards. Instead, Square Enix went in a very different direction, greatly expanding on the original to the point that the story is being told over the course of three games.

Can you feel it? Can you? If so, you’re likely a gamer who wants to get their hands on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth the moment it comes out on Thursday. That’s a key thing to state: it comes out on Thursday! After years of waiting after the release of the first remake title, the sequel is almost here, and gamers can’t wait to see what the title is like in full. To their credit, Square Enix has been doing its job with hyping up the game to nearly insane levels. They even released a massive number of review codes so that nearly everyone would sing the game’s praises, and it worked!

The sequel will bring players outside the city of Midgar, opening up the world of Final Fantasy 7 and introducing new playable characters like Red XIII and Cait Sith. Now, Square-Enix and Red Bull are teaming up to celebrate the game's release.
