Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Version: Director's Insights on Mods and DLC
The director of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Naoki Hamaguchi, recently shed light on the PC version of the game, addressing fan questions about potential DLC and the modding community. Read on for details.
DLC: Demand Drives Development
While the development team initially considered adding episodic DLC to the PC release, resource constraints led them to prioritize completing the final installment of the Remake trilogy. Hamaguchi stated that adding new content is not currently planned, but he's receptive to player feedback. Significant player demand for DLC could change that.
A Message to Modders: Creativity with Responsibility
Although the game lacks official mod support, Hamaguchi acknowledged the inevitable interest from the modding community. He expressed respect for their creativity but urged them to refrain from creating or distributing offensive or inappropriate content.
The potential for mods to enhance the game with new features, textures, and even create entirely new experiences is acknowledged, but the importance of maintaining a respectful and appropriate modding environment is stressed.
PC Version Enhancements
The PC version boasts improved graphics, including lighting adjustments to address the "uncanny valley" effect noted in the original release, and higher-resolution textures and 3D models leveraging the capabilities of more powerful PCs. However, adapting the game's mini-games for PC proved challenging, requiring extensive work on key configurations.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launches on Steam and the Epic Games Store on January 23, 2025. This highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed PS5 release (February 9, 2024) promises an enhanced experience for PC players. For more information, check out our other FF7 Rebirth articles.
