Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo Sparks Debate Over Visual Aids for Accessibility
• Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo features yellow paint to highlight climbable platforms, sparking debate on hand-holding in games.
• Some see it as unnecessary hand-holding, others view it as an important accessibility feature.
• Developers say playtesting shows many players get frustrated and quit without visual clues for progression.
• Visual aids like this have existed in games for decades, including the original FF7.
• Similar debates happened last year over yellow paint in Resident Evil 4 remake's ladders.
