However, according to director Naoki Hamaguchi, it seems the opposite is true.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Speaking to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/game-development\/final-fantasy-7-remake-trilogys-third-entry-will-not-compromise-on-graphics-whatsoever-despite-multiplatform-shift-director-naoki-hamaguchi-addresses-co\/\">Automaton<\/a>, Hamaguchi explains in detail why Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 won&#8217;t be downgraded despite the multiplatform approach.<\/p>\n<p>He says the team &#8220;will not in any way lower the quality of the third instalment&#8221; and says the &#8220;development structure simply doesn\u2019t work that way to begin with&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Hamaguchi then breaks things down, explaining in basic terms how things like GPU, CPU, RAM, and ROM (discs, cartridges etc.) affect visuals.<\/p>\n<p>What it all boils down to, in the end, is that the dev studio doesn&#8217;t produce one build of the game that can run on everything \u2014 it creates a PC build to the highest fidelity possible, then ports it to console platforms, catering each version to the specs of each machine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As our fundamental principle, we do not design assets to meet the lowest baseline,&#8221; He says. &#8220;Instead, we create them for high-end environments first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continues: &#8220;We then apply what we call &#8216;reduction&#8217;, adjusting assets and tuning them appropriately for each platform. This means that we avoid negatively impacting high-spec platforms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hamaguchi says that even the PS5 Pro version of FF7 Remake Part 3 will have some reductions made to its visuals compared to the PC version, but the point is that each port is built to make the most of the hardware to which it&#8217;s tuned.<\/p>\n<p>And it isn&#8217;t as simple as lowering graphical quality overall, &#8220;because this can compromise the intended visual expression,&#8221; he says. &#8220;That\u2019s why we make sure to review everything by eye and fine-tune so that each port matches the original vision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_D699327A7188DB\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px;display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items:center; justify-content: center;\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So, there you go.
