Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth update ‘improves graphics’, adds performance mode options

Square Enix has released a new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth update featuring graphical improvements and bug fixes.

• Fixes to missing or incorrect characters in some parts of the game text.
• Fixes to player character bugs that occur in field areas under certain conditions.
• Fixes to Red XIII’s abilities “Supernal Fervor” and “Watcher’s Spirit” in battle, as these were easily cancelled.
• Fixes to bugs occurring in battle under specific conditions that would cause enemies to freeze.
• Fixes to bugs triggered by specific conditions that affect progress through quests.
• Improvements to frame rate and overall game stability.
• Addition of a “sharp” or “soft” option for graphical output in Performance Mode.
• Improvements to graphical quality.
• Reflected reversed camera controls while controlling a gliding sky chocobo.
• Reflected reversed camera controls in the sharpshooting minigame.
• Emphasised the path along the climbable vines in the Mythril Mine.
