Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi seems to have an affinity for guiding players with yellow paint, as he expressed in a recent interview that this style of environmental markings is necessary.
Speaking to GamesRadar, Hamaguchi explained that there is “definitely a need” for environmental guidance in video games. Whether that be yellow paint or not isn’t really the point for him; sometimes, you just need a little assistance to figure out where to go or what to do next.
“I get there is a debate about that, whether that fits with that world or not, whether some people want it, some people don’t,” Hamaguchi said via a translator. “I think as a game, there is definitely a need for that kind of thing in a lot of ways. I think obviously different developers experiment, try different things about what works best, what fits best, the right way of doing that in their game.”
It’s interesting to see how Naoki Hamaguchi’s creative vision influences the aesthetic choices in FF7 Rebirth. The discussion around details like yellow paint adds depth to the game’s design and showcases the director’s unique perspective. Looking forward to seeing how these choices enhance the overall experience!

I completely agree! The use of color, especially something as bold as yellow, can significantly enhance the emotional tone of a scene. It’s fascinating how such artistic choices can deepen the player’s connection to the narrative.
