Seriously? it will be gimped like hell lmao. That's the only way and barely. Also, Digital only with a cartridge only serving as a key. That's not worth the hassle to make such a port. It will backfire for SE spectacularly.

Jesus.. this is a joke, right?So have you guys ever felt cheated by the gaming industry?
For me, the worst case just happened. I just received news that the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy is now coming to the Nintendo Switch II.
FF7 is a distinctly PlayStation franchise and should never appear on any other platform.
It's just not right. FF7 made the PlayStation and the PlayStation made FF7.
I feel lost right now, but hopefully the Japanese will boycott this egregious decision by Square Enix.

I will see your box and raise you the ff7 tee-shirt. I got this at e3 the year the game was released or at Babbages/Software Etc as a pre-order bonus.I had the big box back in the day. It even had a weird cardboard overlay for your kb to show you the buttons.
Eidos used to make all sorts of weirdly shaped pc boxes. Makes it a pain in the ass to pack them in larger boxes for storage.

I talked to Square-Enix and they told me this is all happening to spite you specifically. It sucks man, and I feel for you, but sometimes a big company makes decisions like this just to anger a handful of their fans.So have you guys ever felt cheated by the gaming industry?

So because something was for a while platform exclusive now means it will never be on other platforms...
Stay in the past if you want.

That won't be Rebirth anymore, more like Re-killed.
Eessh, off to a good start with "no way" claims when the director already confirmed it
Switch 2 will simply be better than that on all fronts
Poor SE...Can't catch a break.

Ahh no? FF started on Nintendo. Sony picked them up because Square wanted to move to discs. I know this because I was one of the FF fans that moved over to Sony when that happened.
Edit: And before you think I didn't understand what you said, what I'm saying is FF7 was already going to make massive sales regardless of what system it was released on. The FF franchise already had a massive fan base prior to that PlayStation move. Sure it grew but the PlayStation did not make FF7 a success. Square did that by making a good game for its time.

SW2 is not taking over a market that's already Nintendo's...and some gimped ports of years-old games won't have anything to do about it.That it runs fine on a weaker PC handheld and it'll do just fine with Switch 2's mega takeover of Japan's market?

I was honestly worried when I scrolled down and didn't see it yet. My sincere thanks for saving this thread comradeI agree with OP.
Square just shot themselves in the foot. I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFVII Remake Trilogy for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFVII Remake Trilogy for the Switch or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Sorry, someone had to do it!

People actually care that FFVII comes to other platforms?
Yeah it runs like the Witcher 3 on SW1...also, Steam deck plays digital only games, is the SW2 version full digital only? It's going to look like vaseline and run sub-30fps. If that not gimped to you, I guess you don't know the meaning of the word.

While this is very obviously a troll, there are certain franchises that just feel wrong to play on other platforms.
Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Tekken, Crash, and Kingdom Hearts are all so associated with PlayStation to me that they are essentially exclusives for example and there's examples for basically every platform. Mostly just stems from what I played it on as a kid.

What does that have to do with anything? You believe that version will sell many millions in Japan? I'm telling you it won't be a "flop" by normal standards, but certainly won't meet the expectations relative to investment.

Clearly, you don't see his point so let me help you understand. Because Nintendo is the dominant superpower in Japan, square enix is going to make sure that version runs as smooth as butter. It is going to be a very faithful translation of the PlayStation version. It is going to sell much better than it sold on the PlayStation as far as the Japanese market is concerned. I don't know how it's going to sell worldwide, but I do know that it's going to allow more Japanese gamers a chance to play that game since most Japanese gamers don't consider PlayStation as a viable option anymore and like I said a little while ago, square Enix is going to make sure the Nintendo Switch 2 version runs as good as the PlayStation version.

Exclusivity sucks.
That's a nice dream. There were around 10 million PS4s in Japan when Remake released there and it didn't set the country charts on fire, and SW2 version with a few million users in Japan is going to sell better than the PS4...PS4 wasn't "viable" in 2020, what you're saying here. Ridiculous. Expect a lukewarm reception for remake intergrade and even poorer for the other parts.
