"Speaking to ScreenRant, Hamaguchi zeroed in on "character expressions" and "lighting" as being essential to delivering a quality experience on Nintendo's hybrid console: Our aim was to align more towards the lightning we see in the PS5 version, and then we also kind of balance this by aligning more towards the sort of switch to post-effect and fog. And in this way the user is not really able to make out a huge difference"
"In an interview with Inverse, Hamaguchi said that a Switch 2 port seemed likely early on once "Nintendo first shared with [Square Enix] the new hardware [...] the thought came to me that Final Fantasy 7 can likely run on these specs." According to Hamaguchi, the Xbox version was already in the works before the team got their first look at the Switch 2 hardware. And, contrary to what you may think, the underpowered Series S wasn't much of an issue."
Two parts of the Final Fantasy 7 remake project are available on PlayStation and PC, with Switch 2 and Xbox ports planned. The Switch 2 port emphasizes character expressions and lighting to approximate PS5 visuals while using post-effects and fog to mask differences. A Switch 2 build appeared feasible once Nintendo shared hardware specs, and an Xbox version was in development prior to seeing Switch 2. The Xbox Series S presented some memory challenges but is otherwise relatively capable. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is in a working state on Switch 2 and is expected to be ported in the future.
