Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Developers Comment on Xbox Series S’s Lack of Memory

During a new interview with Easy Allies, via Eurogamer, FF7 Remake Part 3 Director, Naoki Hamaguchi, spoke about the problems that arose with the Xbox Series S. Hamaguchi stated that, like other publishers, they “did see some issues with the lack of memory compared with other platforms” with the Xbox version, but didn’t specifically mention the Series S. However, they have designated teams working on each platform, so “the multiplatform approach won’t impact the development whatsoever”.

As for the Switch 2, the development for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Remake Part 3 is going very smoothly. However, they are facing some issues with “power consumption constraints” as the consoles reduce the performance a bit in handheld mode. Which is why they have “talented rendering programmers put in extra work on optimisation.” At the same time, lighting will be key to bring out the “graphics quality and expression in this day and age.”
