The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth playable demo comes with some evident visual issues, especially in Performance Mode, but it seems like low resolution is not what is causing everything to look so blurry.
Commenting on the demo's visual issues on X/Twitter, Digital Foundry's John Linneman said that the game has some pretty surprising and serious issues. Alongside some Unreal Engine 4 baggage, the second entry in the trilogy suffers from some strange design choices regarding how assets are jammed together.
Interestingly enough, the blurriness of the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo visuals is not caused by low resolution or by a dynamic resolution range that dips down too much. According to John Linneman, the game runs at 1440p resolution in Performance Mode, and the blurriness is caused by post processing at 1/4 of that resolution. Given how big it is, this seems like a major oversight, so hopefully, something will be done before the game launches later this month.
It is a shame Final Fantasy VII Rebirth may be hindered by subpar visuals, as it seems like the development team created a compelling open-world formula, filling the world of Gaia with a lot of different and fun activities, as highlighted by Kai in his preview.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launches on PlayStation 5 on February 29th. The playable demo, which features the infamous Nibelheim segment, will be updated later this month to give players a taste of the game's aforementioned open-world experience.

Red XIII is among the most unique playable characters in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. While most of the cast is clearly offense-oriented, even long-range characters like Barret and Aerith, the wolf-like talking beast is meant to be played as a defensive character that comes with a surprising amount of depth. As such, he is not exactly straightforward to play, as you need to pay attention to a few things to make him show his true potential.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, much like Remake, features a few difficulty settings to choose from at the start of the adventure. While the chosen setting doesn't lock you out from any sort of content, picking the right one for you can definitely make the whole experience more fun.
