Fans are still figuring out how Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s narrative differs from its source, and new info may have thrown a wrench into their efforts.

When Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth releases on February 29, gamers can experience the beauty of the world of Gaia on the Sony BRAVIA XR TV, the official television of the game. Gamers will not have any exclusive benefits to playing the title on Sony’s official television, but according to a press release from Sony Electronics, it comes with several features to make their experiences smoother. The TV boasts Auto HDR Tone Mapping, which will allow players to have the best HDR settings when first setting up the PS5 and television. Another graphics-related feature is the Auto-Genre Picture Mode, which will switch automatically between a Standard Mode designed for watching movies and a Game Mode, which will “minimize lag and maximize responsiveness.”

Sony BRAVIA XR TV Features

  • Auto HDR Tone Mapping: Instantly optimize HDR settings during your PS5 initial setup.
  • Auto-Genre Picture Mode: Automatically switches into Game Mode when gaming to minimize lag and maximize responsiveness, and switches back to Standard Mode when watching movies to optimize picture quality.
  • Cognitive Processor XR with XR Clear Image: Analyzes and recreates content through a human lens, ensuring gamers are hearing and seeing the world of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH as if they are truly there.
  • Game Menu:
    • Gamers can tailor their settings to their preferences, such as turning on or off Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) or Motion-Blur Reduction with quick access.
    • Increase the brightness in the darkest areas with Black Equalizer and easily spot objects and take aim at opponents with six types of Crosshairs, ensuring you never miss a single detail, even in the darkest corners of the game world.
    • All-new screen resizing features and multi-view options let you watch walk throughs and play games like FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH side-by-side.

  • HDMI 2.1: Allows users to achieve high-performance gaming with features like 4K/120, VRR and ALLM.

Additionally, players will be able to increase the brightness of dark areas as well as turn off the Variable Refresh Rate, and reduce motion blur thanks to a dedicated Game Menu. This menu will also allow players to change the size and split the display screen in order to both watch videos and play games. According to the press release, the television will use a Cognitive Processor that will make the audio sound as if players are in the world of Gaia, fighting alongside Cloud.

If gamers want a more immersive audio experience, the Sony Electronics press release stated that the newly released INZONE Buds, which is another product created by the Sony and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth collaboration, is the way to go. The headphones have several features, such as a 12-hour battery life, noise canceling mode, and 360 spatial sound.

The Sony BRAVIA XR TV was also the official television of the highly reviewed Final Fantasy 16, which was released last year. With the reception of FF16 and FF7 Remake, many fans cannot wait to start their adventure exploring the world of Gaia when Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth releases next month.
