When Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade was announced earlier this year, Square Enix explained how it changed textures and lighting, as well as added fog effects. Some changes were more subtle.
During the Sony online event Final Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase has gone through the changes in the PS5 version. Most of the information was new, but while the lightning improvements were detailed, famed event host Hatsune Matsushima noticed something and asked if the tree had changed.
The tree in the Shinra building is different, it seemsBut, I’m actually not sure if it’s different or if the lighting improvements make it look different.

It really looks like Square Enix has done more than just smear a coat of PlayStation 5 paint on the new version. According to Kitase, this was the first time for one Final Fantasy game to create a dedicated team of lighting professionals, who have moved light sources in the game to illuminate the scenes like on a Hollywood movie.
The lighting improvements are certainly noticeable! The tree improvements, less.
