Fans of the Final Fantasy series waited for more than a year and a half until Square Enix ended the frustrating limited-time exclusivity with PlayStation to port Final Fantasy 7 to a PC. But after waiting so long, the SE delivered a PC version that many players thought was unforgivable in quality, and its poor performance problems made it difficult to play on PC.
So far, the SE has remained silent on the matter, and the game's player community has already started digging into the game itself and has made a major discovery. If the data miner's report is correct, SE appears to have released a Final Fantasy VII remake that was never intended to be made public.
The source of this discovery is unclear, but data miners have found that the Final Fantasy VII remake, which is being sold, is currently called the "PPBC_Development." Simply put, it is a "debug" version of Final Fantasy VII Remake on PC for development purposes, and developers use that version for runtime testing and looking for bugs. While it's unclear exactly why the beta will work on PC, it seems to explain why it works so poorly. The "debug" version that exists for testing is not designed for players, and it can have many limitations or issues.
Another problem is that WHEN SE ported Final Fantasy XIV and Kingdom Hearts 3 to pc, it had more powerful customization performance options, which shows that SE is fully capable of bringing a high-quality gaming experience to the PC version, but Final Fantasy 7 Remake does not.
The next steps of the SE remain to be seen, and they need to fix the game's problems as soon as possible and show the players the reason for the incident. The PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake costs as much as $70, which is higher than the pricing of many AAA masterpieces on PC, and such a high price will only make players more frustrated, and SE needs to react quickly and be cautious about this matter.
