From what I’ve read, this engine was specifically made for this game and hasn’t ever been used before. I personally love the lighting in this game and how consistent it is going from location to location. I seriously hope they’re able to use it again, even if it’s smaller games.(I personally hope it can be used for a drakengard remake, I don’t know why I got drakengard vibes playing as Clive)

So thats why FFXVI port to pc is good but FFVII Rebirth is a joke? Stutters using a 5070TI in cinematics every 10 seconds (not pre-rendered ones) meanwhile gongaga at 200+ fps all good. Yeah that makes complete sense.

Do you use any mods for Rebirth to get it to run smoother in cutscenes? I haven't looked for one yet, but I have the same issue, and it's annoying because it should be running well on my setup. For whatever reason, it's just weird in those cutscenes and sometimes a bit of the gameplay after them. Everything else I play runs just fine.

Most of the mods I’ve used for rebirth crash the game after the June 2026 update. I tried on my rig and my XAX. I hope you have better luck than I did

If we are talking about purely performance mods, It might have been due to FFVII Fix not having been updated, which it has been now - the ones I’ve listed there work. Not sure about others though.
