Following the PlayStation 5 Pro announcement and the confirmation that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be PlayStation 5 Pro enhanced, Digital Foundry has posted a new video highlighting the title on the new platform.
In particular, comparison footage between the standard version of the PlayStation 5 and the upcoming Pro iteration is showcased across the Performance and Graphics modes.
Enhanced image quality and smoother 60 FPS are shown in detail, giving prospective owners of the new console a significant jump to anticipate.
The PlayStation 5 Pro boasts a larger GPU and increased the speed of its rendering by 45%; the ray-tracing has been upgraded at double or even triple the speeds of the base PlayStation 5, and custom hardware for machine learning and an online library called PlayStation Specual Super Resolution (PSSR) provide AI-driven upscaling.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the sequel to the first entry in this ongoing Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy effort. This new entry is far more ambitious than the first, occurring until The Forgotten Capital from the original game.
Players can look forward to playable Cait Sith and Red XIII, with Vincent also present. Gold Saucer will be a prominently featured location with plenty of minigames.
Speaking of, the Junon infiltration minigame has been significantly enhanced, with Cloud directing soldiers to form specific compositions. Further, Sephiroth will be playable during the Nibelheim flashback. Combat has undergone a shakeup, with new synergy attacks utilizing multiple party members, and Red XIII has a unique revenge gauge mechanic.
