Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s Seamless and Diverse World Wouldn’t Have Been Possible Without PS5 Exclusivity
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth wouldn't have been the game it is if it wasn't a PlayStation 5 console exclusive, according to Yoshinori Kitase.
Speaking with the Washington Post, the Final Fantasy series producer stated that much of the game's acclaim is thanks to its seamless world, which wouldn't have been possible without PlayStation 5 console exclusivity. Not having to worry about developing multiple game versions allowed the team to focus on building a seamless, densely populated world with diverse geography. Without exclusivity to a single platform, Kitase-san continued, the game design would have regressed, and the world wouldn't have been seamless. That is an interesting statement for sure, considering multiplatform games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which also served as one of the major inspirations for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, do come with the same features seen in the second installment of the trilogy.
