Digital Foundry’s John Linneman recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) about how a lot better Final Fantasy VII Rebirth looks on the PS5 Pro. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launched exclusively on the PlayStation 5 on February 29 where it and its demos received patches to optimize graphics and performance on the console. The franchise has long been known for its hardware-demanding gameplay and it seems that Sony’s upgraded console may very well be the ticket for a really perfect gaming experience.
Per John Linneman:
- “Wow, yeah, FF7R looks a LOT higher on PS5 Pro. Night and day difference. I actually delay playing it on account of other things happening on the time of release however the Pro will finally push me to enjoy it. Image quality was just too awful on normal PS5.”
- “FF7R does appear to exhibit superior image quality in comparison with PS5’s regular quality mode while running at 60 fps on the Pro. They appear to be leveraging PSSR which looks rather a lot higher than the generic upscaling they previously used.”
Sadly Linneman has spent more time since making his initial post reiterating that his statement was concerning the visual quality of the sport on the PlayStation 5 Pro as many proceed to complain about its $700 price tag. No less than one person has tried to put claim that the visual improvements don’t justify the aforementioned price to which Linneman has replied, “I didn’t say it was. Don’t put words in my mouth.”
Sorry John, but these examples. IT still doesn’t seem like a 700 value.

Linneman, as professionally as possible, responds to many who complain concerning the PS5 Pro’s price, something nearly all can agree on is a bit much and has already change into the butt of jokes and memes on the web. He doesn’t disagree about its price but is just attempting to indicate that the brand new console is doing a greater job with the sport.
- “Right and I feel that’s what’s upsetting people. I’m talking about price or value or anything. Just observing that it looks rather a lot higher now (image clarity) which is good.”
