Following the recent release date reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's PC version, director Naoki Hamaguchi recommended the port for the lighting options on the new platform. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was initially released exclusively on PlayStation 5 earlier this February and is the second entry in Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy. The second part sees Cloud, Tifa, Barrett, Aerith, and Red XIII pursuing Sephiroth, recreating iconic moments from the original JRPG in high-definition and expanded cinematic flair. While many fans did jump on the initial PS5 release, many were also waiting for the game to drop on the PC, just as Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade did back in 2021.
