Almost three years on from the launch of the PS5, I still find myself sorely missing one particular feature: Dynamic themes. While it's probably silly to keep holding out hope at this point with every passing console update and State of Play, I can't shake the desire to see PS5 dynamic themes happen. Along with the possibility of seeing new additions that celebrate upcoming releases, I've wracked up quite a little library of different themes on the previous console that I wish could be carried over.
Way back, I purchased a digital copy of Final Fantasy 7 on my PS4 to relive the RPG all over again. In the grand scheme of things this isn't particularly significant, but it came with an added bonus: a free Midgar Custom theme for my homescreen. I still vividly remember the first time I used it and how long I spent taking it in. The gentle piano notes of Areith's Theme began to play over a background of the game's city setting, and all the emotions of my time with the adventure washed over me.
