Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Has Solid Start On Xbox, Despite Launching Two Years Later

No surprise the GOTY runner-up sold well on Xbox. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth made quite the splash when it first launched as a PS5 exclusive back in 2024, and according to Square Enix's latest financial results, it looks like the RPG is still making waves on Xbox two years later. The Japanese publisher shared some interesting sales figures for Q1 of its current fiscal year, revealing a 32.3% increase in net sales and an 88.6% boost in operating income. All of this to say, Square Enix is having a

Feature: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Shader Injector Mod: A Fix for the Controversial Lighting?

An impressive replumbing that could be extended to other titles. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has faced some controversy over its visuals from fans and DF writers alike, with its large scope and dated Unreal Engine 4 technology producing obvious flaws in indirect lighting, diffuse lighting and direct shadowing. Community developer David Matos has introduced a new "Shader Injector" mod that aims to overhaul these elements to meet modern visual standards. And unlike conventional post-processing mods,

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's subtle queer characters were all about presenting people "inhabiting this world in an authentic manner"

I do sometimes shudder at the thought of how big Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth actually is, especially as someone who made a beeline for the main story on my playthrough for the most part. Its size does also allow for a lot of smaller details though, like one background (and I really do mean background) plot that follows the romantic relationship of a lesbian couple across the game's various locales. And according to game director Naoki Hamaguchi, the choice to depict characters like this was all in t

UK Charts: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Makes A Solid Debut On Switch 2

Good effort, SOLDIER. The latest UK charts data is in, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has made a pretty solid debut on the Switch 2, coming in at number 4 with all of its sales attributed to Nintendo's console. Of course, it's worth remembering that Rebirth has been available on PS5 for over two years, so it's likely that the majority of folks aiming to play the game on Sony's console will have already done so. Still, it's nice to see that players are embracing the port on Switch 2, regardless of

Grin and Barret. I'm in a slightly strange camp when it comes to Final Fantasy VII, though I'd wager it's one that at least some of you will be part of too. You see, Remake's Switch 2 port was my first time playing this story — remade or otherwise. I know everything there is to know about the original FFVII (yes, even that bit), but at no point have I got around to playing it. That's something I should probably remedy someday and I promise it's on my list, but I only have time to play so many ga

Look, let's be honest, Square Enix is a hard company to get behind right now. Between layoffs, peculiar restructuring plans, and a penchant for chasing the hottest controversial flavour of the month, there are many reasons to be sceptical of one of Japan's biggest publishers in 2026. But, for all the dubious business moves and articles about NFTs, there exists a publisher that looks like the Square Enix we remember from generations past; one that was keen to push technical limitations, to iterat
