Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gets new patch to fix performance mode

A potential remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics has been in the rumour mill for several years at this point, and even though official word on whether or not it exists remains elusive, Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida – who’s also the director and producer of Final Fantasy 14 – has indicated that he, at the very least, is personally interested in seeing Final Fantasy Tactics be brought back.

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is an absurdly long experience with about 100 hours of gameplay (132 if you’re a completionist, per HowLongToBeat). However, if you haven’t unlocked that coveted Platinum Trophy, it’s because a side quest, “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” is bugged.

Square Enix has promised a fix for the issue that prevents players from acquiring a Platinum Trophy in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth boasts one of the most extensive trophy lists on PlayStation 5, with challenges even the most seasoned players find hair-raising. However, it's not the difficulty of these challenges stopping people from acquiring the coveted Platinum trophy, but rather a bug.

Matthew Mercer, the prolific voice actor who played Vincent Valentine in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, recently discussed how he first found out who he would be voicing and how much it took him by surprise. While Vincent Valentine was an optional, missable party member in the original Final Fantasy 7, he played a major role in the backstory and larger expanded universe of the original game, quickly becoming a fan favorite that gamers couldn’t wait to see again in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

The update will add several new features to the Final Fantasy 16 user interface, making things more convenient for players who like to tinker with their character builds.

The Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail expansion will launch on July 2, Square Enix announced. Pre-orders will begin on March 26 and include three days of early access to the expansion on June 28, among other bonuses.

It’s out on April 18th for PS5, but that’s not the only content that Final Fantasy 16 fans can look forward to.
