Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and PS5
At the same time as the release of an extended version of the first trailer for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, the Square Enix team shared interesting details on the development process.Part of the attention, in particular, was dedicated to the revision of the lighting system of the makeover of the JRPG, in order to make the most of the potential offered by the PlayStation 5 hardware. During the "Play! Play! Play!" organized by Sony Japan, producer Yoshinori Kitase confirmed the importance attributed to the material, to the point of having decided to create a special team. The development of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade - for the first time in the history of the Square Enix series - has therefore been able to take advantage of a pool of experts devoted exclusively to the refinement of lighting, reflections and light effects.
The result is indeed remarkable, with the changes made to the PlayStation 4 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake immediately striking. The renewed lighting system offers a new appeal to both Midgar's exteriors and internal environments, offering more details on the screen and new relief to Cloud and his companions. Directly at the bottom of this news, you can view some screenshots taken from the Japanese event.
