Anyone else think it's curious that FF7 Remake hasn't gotten ANY patches yet?
- Thread starter Exellus
- Start date
The original FF7 got a patch on PS4 a few weeks ago which is hilarious.
I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue. Digital Foundry upgraded the PS4 Pro hard drive and textures fully loaded in time when running around.

The Ultimate PS4 Pro: 8TB SSD Upgrade - Can We Fix Loading Times And Texture Pop-In?
Between The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 we've seen some exceptional loading screens on PS4 owing to its mechanical HDD. Equally games like Final Fantasy 7 Remake...youtu.be
I have an SSD in my PS4 Base but textures never really popped in, I even stood around a lot in the sums and near walls. Maybe it's a combination of the Pro and the SSD.
The pandemic must have hit Creative Business Unit I hard. Since Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is slated for this year and is multiplatform, I'm thinking resources for Remake's post launch support were directed elsewhere. Then there's the matter of the new consoles launching this fall.
As someone that bought it day 1, I'm peeved that there probably won't be a patch until the PS5 release, but I can understand why.

Interesting. Pretty crazy we've only had two major games that didn't even have a launch patch
Persona 5 had a few patches, in Japan at least. Persona 5 Royal had a day 1 patch for the U.S. and at least one patch afterwards.
Funnily enough I was thinking about this yesterday, when I was browsing through my PS4 dashboard and saw the game was still on version 1.00.
I remember in the week up to launch, lots of people were convinced there was going to be a day one patch that would address some of the lower res textures in the game.

I am surprised it hasn't had at least one. Like many, I hit that stupid vent bug, so I had assumed at least that was patched by now. No excuse at this point and will remain a ding against an otherwise solid game.
This.. sadly this is true.
I expected a patch already with some fixes for the texture problems and that vent bug.
It's been five months. I'm surprised.
But then, I'm not. The issues in the game aren't game breaking and SE is historically slow to patch even game breaking issues. FFVI on Android had a bug for quite some time that prevented starting the game on many devices.

I had no idea there wasn't a patch, but aside from a few weird graphical things like the door and some other textures that aren't coming to memory, the game overall ran like a dream (on my base PS4). I'm sure one will happen eventually.
Eh, it really depends.
Final Fantasy XV received a lot of patches post launch and really good ones too. Although they never fixed framempacing which was always annoying.
It's not even just one door for me. Throughout the entire game, there are bad/LOD-like textures, no matter how long I stay in one spot. The game is an eyesore so much of the time, and the HDR is absolutely terrible...
There were a lot of people claiming that the game would get a patch to fix all the obvious problems, but I think all those people were just speaking from their gut. There was never really a rumor that I am aware of, just people trying to deflect criticism. "Stop talking about the door, guys. It is obviously going to be fixed with a patch!" That kind of thing.
It is interesting that they didn't clean up a few of those issues, though. It wasn't like it needed FFXV amounts of work, there are just a few things that needed polishing.
As is, it is an extremely beautiful game that is occasionally shockingly ugly.
I haven't played Kingdom Hearts 3, so I can't speak on that game, but I wouldn't call Final Fantasy 7 Remake "really polished". It isn't a complete train wreck like Final Fantasy XV was, but it still has a number of technical issues and rough spots. It exists in the space between polished and unpolished.
