Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launched a few months ago on PS5 and quickly became one of the highest rated games on platforms like Metacritic. side-in spite of this, there have also been critical comments and complaints, the main one having to do with how much the graphics section was degraded by putting it in performance mode to achieve more fluidity. Now that the PS5 Pro has been announced, they’ve taken the opportunity to compare Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on that console to the PS5, revealing that The claimed 45% performance increase is much higher and all thanks to PSSR rescaling.
Final Fantasy It is considered one of the most popular JRPG video game franchises in the world, second only to Pokémon in terms of sales. The first game was released in 1987 year and Final Fantasy XVI was the last release of the main saga, if the numerical aspect is taken into account, otherwise
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth This was the last launch. It took place on February 29, 2024, and its launch as a PS5 exclusive was something of a surprise, even though the game’s maker even said that it This was due to the SSD speed of the console.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PS5 Pro reaches 4K and 60 FPS with much higher quality than PS5 in performance mode
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the long-awaited second part of the remake of the popular classic created Squaresoft there in
1997 year. This greatly expanded its universe, allowing us to explore a huge open world where we can access the various cities and towns that we see. Like most PS5 games, this title came out of a quality mode at 30 fps and performance mode at 60 fpsS, although the latter offered such a low resolution that memes were even created comparing it to the original FF VII.
Now it’s time to see the performance mode of the PS5 again, although this time compared to the PS5 Pro, because 60 FPS is achieved in both cases. After looking at a bit of Digital Foundry’s analysis, we can see a huge difference between the consoles, because with the PS5 we can see that the resolution drops completely and approaches something like 1080p upscaling vs what appears to be 4K with PSSR for PS5 Pro. There are many cases where the frames and videos are compared between both consoles and it becomes clear to us that the PS5 Pro achieves a higher performance than the 45% that Sony claimed in the presentation.
Even when comparing the quality mode to the PS5 Pro, the Pro gains the upper hand by showing more detail
The “trick” to not only achieve 60fps, but to quadruple the resolution, is to use the new PSSR scale, exclusive to the PS5 Pro. Digital Foundry describes the work it does as excellent, announcing how it achieves a very good level. and there is a small presence of ghosts and artifacts. With the increased resolution, the PS5 Pro version sees an improvement in all aspects, with a
greater clarity and detail in settings and characters.
Now we’ll move on to seeing the differences between the PS5 in performance mode at 30fps and the PS5 Pro at 60fps. Here we can see that although Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in quality mode goes up to 4K on PS5 the original, we see how the PS5 Pro continues to take advantage of a greater clarity and details, in addition to doubling the FPS. Of course, not everything is perfect, as in the movement of scale changes and
stability in the picture. Finally, we see that the performance mode is not a stable 60fps, as on the PS5 we see a drop to 50 frames per second and in low quality mode to 27 frames per second. On the other hand, there is a PS5 Pro version 60 is practically stable all the time with only dropping to 59 fps at some points in the video.
