I would prefer to play it on launch on PC but I don't see this happening.

They already said that....a couple weeks ago

they said a lot of things, they have never confirmed anything

Cool, but hopefully it doesn't look like it's running at 480p on base Ps5 this time.
Otherwise I'll once again buy it when it's on a deep sale.

Real talk for final fantasy vets, is there even one good final fantasy game? I've tried x, x-2 on the vita and 7 remake, Rebirth and 16 on the ps5. I've never been able to finish any of them because the story is not that interesting and the gameplay loop couldn't carry for me.

Maybe it's just me but I feel like this franchise needs to rest for a long time.

FF has mostly sucked for like 20 years. I liked 7 and Rebirth though, they are my favorite modern FF as far as gameplay and presentation goes, but yeah the story is no good.
A lot of fans like the older stuff better, 4, 6, OG 7 and 9 in particular tend to get a lot of love, though you'd have to be ok with dated visuals and some dated mechanics like random encounters.

Stories in FF (and most Square games) mostly went to shit with the introduction of voice acting. Dialogue has never been the strong point of most JRPGs, but it feels 10X worse when you hear it spoken out loud, specially in combination with characters that have looked increasingly more realistic but have kept an "anime" body language.

The funny thing is it actually runs at or slightly above 1080p at all times.

They *really* fucked up the up-scaling there somehow. 1080p doesn't look anywhere near as blurry as Rebirth's Performance mode did on base PS5.

Frankly I'm surprised they didn't try to patch a different up-scaling, different FSR or TAA method into the game since launch. The performance mode looks absolutely terrible.

We might see a rebirth announcement for NS2 (and Xbox?) as early as tomorrow.

Yeah I know, that's the most infuriating part of it. It actually runs at a decent resolution but somehow they made it look way worse than even games which run at like 720p with FSR.
I have no idea why they didn't just use FSR (should be compatible with UE4). Hopefully whatever issue was preventing them from using it on Rebirth has been resolved.
I'd even prefer and optional mode with no TAA (like Atomfall) over the insanely blurry image.

Yes hopefully the day 1 momentum on PC shows great ccu. Cause Rebirth deserves to sell way more.
