Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director talks yellow paint

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi was no quite expecting the wave of responses when fans uncovered a common sight in games nowadays in the RPG. As early as the demo, fans quickly noticed the use of yellow paint, a common trope in gaming to showcase ledges and intractable objects while somehow simultaneously blending in and sticking out.

, Hamaguchi chalked the paint up as an accessibility thing, it seems, and it has taken the feedback very seriously for future games. That said, he didn’t expect people would take the splatters of paint so seriously.

The use of yellow paint was largely popularized by Uncharted back in the PS3 days. Some fans see objects like crates and ladders splattered with vibrant yellow paint as unnecessary, while others see the feature as a saving grace for players with vision problems.

Frankly, we see both sides — with accessibility on the rise and many big name game devs taking time to implement features to accommodate less able-bodied gamers, we understand how this can be an accessibility thing. On the flip side, though, it makes the act of exploration a little more limited and less satisfying when finding a hidden area that you only found with trial and error.

“I didn’t think that the ‘yellow paint’ would be something that would be discussed on social media. For things like camera options, where people have a wide variety of preferences and there’s no one right answer, our basic approach is to offer various accessibility options, so I would like to take on board the valuable feedback we have received towards this for future games.”
