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.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Ending Wants “Happy Ending” For Its Cast

Do you ever get the feeling that someone is HEAVILY IMPLYING something and they want to make sure you’re not missing the message? Well, the team over at Final Fantasy VII Rebirth seems to be doing that, and it’s going to make things interesting when the game finally arrives on PS5 later this month. Specifically, they’ve been teasing repeatedly that a certain key death that could happen once again in the upcoming title might not go how you’d expect. This was boosted by the game’s producer, Yoshinori Kitase, who, during an interview with Vandal, noted that he desired to give the game’s cast a “happy ending.”
That’s an interesting thing to say for multiple reasons. First, we know that the original game did have a “happy ending” because Cloud and his friends saved the world from Sephiroth. However, it did come at a cost, specifically, the cost of Aerith, who Sephiroth murdered at a key point in the game. That death was so devastating to gamers that it remains one of the most important moments in video game history because it didn’t seem like something that would happen, given how close Aerith and Cloud had gotten.
Fast forward to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and the various trailers and “messages” within interviews and the like, including the first remake game’s plot, have implied that Aerith might live. It’s not a certainty, but we know that the second remake title will end at the very spot where Aerith died in the original PS1 title. For many fans, a “happy ending” would be Aerith being alive.
Kitase did warn during the interview that while he does want this, that doesn’t mean it’ll happen in the game, which is a key thing to state. Another thing to state is that certain characters who died in the original title are alive in the remake series.
So far, via the trailers, we know that Biggs, Jessie, and Zack Fair are all somehow alive despite the Whispers trying to “correct the timeline” and the various injuries they suffered. How they will play into the main game remains to be seen. Still, given the ending of the first remake game, with Sephiroth proclaiming he’s going to “change destiny,” and with fates already being changed, it’s not hard to imagine that Aerith could indeed survive and possibly live to the end of the game so she could be with Zack.
We’ll have to wait until February 29th to see how it all plays out.

Preparing for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth – Who is Zack Fair and what’s happening with the timeline?
Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are two masterfully made retellings of the classic PlayStation RPG from 1997. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second entry in the Remake project and continues where the previous title left off, hopefully bringing answers to questions posed with it. Not only is this new sequel a nostalgic experience for veterans of the 90s original, but Square Enix has crafted it to be another perfect spot for newcomers to join Cloud and the gang.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Could Have Had A Different Ending
The development team behind Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth didn’t always know when the game was going to end, and it could have left off at a different point in the original’s story. After almost four years, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has finally been released, continuing the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Sephiroth, and the rest of the cast that fans know and love from the original Final Fantasy 7 and its many spin-offs. Just like Final Fantasy 7 Remake before it, FF7 Rebirth only retells a fraction of the 1997 PlayStation classic’s plot, picking up where its predecessor left off with Cloud and his friends escaping Midgar.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Has “Printing Defect” In Japan
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.
