Key Takeaways
- Square Enix releases patch 1.020 for FF VII Rebirth, focusing on visual improvements in Performance Mode running at 60 FPS.
- Players now have options to choose between “Sharp” or “Soft” screen output settings to enhance image quality in the game.
- Development team also added difficulty settings for mini-games, addressed progression issues, and improved overall game stability.
Today, Square Enix has released patch version 1.020 for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth that addresses visuals in performance mode. Along with other bug fixes, the big change comes into Performance Mode in the game. This allows the game to run at 60 FPS, but has received some criticism with the visuals. The main Graphics Mode runs at 30 FPS and pushes the visuals to their maximum. This patch will also address the frame rate and overall game stability, but improving on the reported blurry image in Performance Mode was a key fix that the development team has promised since launch, and delivered on with today’s patch.
Visual Improvements
Along with the frame rate improvements, Square Enix has added two more options to the Performance Mode. This is focused on screen output settings as the game will now offer two different options. Players can select from either “Sharp” or “Soft” to help with image quality. Along with this, Bandai Namco has labeled “Improved graphic quality” in its patch notes. The camera’s reverse setting is also now reflected in the “gliding” mode when operating a sky chocobo and in the target mini-game camera. While this isn’t listed as much, the results will come in the gameplay as the patch is up now.
