Final Fantasy VII Remake is a gorgeous game with some Wonderful looking character models and highly detailed worlds. Yet, it launched without a photo mode.
Over this current generation of consoles, photo modes have become more and more common.

Each weekend I put together a feature, Snapshots, that looks at some of the best screenshots fans have posted in the past week. What the virtual photography community can create with even basic photo mode tools is amazing. Now compare screenshots from
