FF7 Rebirth DLC Will Only Come If Fans Request It

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Version: Director Discusses Mods, DLC Possibilities, and Enhancements

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's PC release is generating excitement, but what about potential DLC and the modding community? Director Naoki Hamaguchi recently shed light on these topics in an interview.

DLC: A Fan-Driven Decision?

While the development team initially considered adding episodic DLC to the PC version, resource constraints led them to prioritize completing the final game in the trilogy. Hamaguchi stated that adding new content is not currently planned, but he's open to player requests. Significant player demand could influence future DLC decisions.

Modding Community: A Call for Responsible Creation

Though the game lacks official mod support, Hamaguchi acknowledges the inevitable interest from the modding community. He explicitly requests that modders refrain from creating or distributing offensive or inappropriate content. The team respects creative contributions but emphasizes responsible modding practices.

The potential for creative mods is significant, given the history of mods transforming games. However, the need to maintain a positive and respectful gaming environment is paramount.

PC Version Improvements

The PC port boasts enhanced graphics, including improved lighting and higher-resolution textures, addressing previous concerns about character models. Higher-end PCs will benefit from significantly improved visuals compared to the PS5 version. However, adapting mini-games for PC proved challenging, requiring unique key configuration settings.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launches on Steam and the Epic Games Store on January 23, 2025. The PC version promises a refined experience with graphical enhancements and the potential for community-driven content, depending on player feedback.
