"If it's anything like the new settings added to the Switch 2 version of FFVII Remake Intergrade, it'll essentially be a combat god mode in which every hit does 9,999 damage and all Materia are maxed out. It's a way to make the experience almost frictionless for people who might be intimidated by the RPG's hybrid combat mechanics and just want to get to the next mini-game or cutscene."
"Out on Switch 2 on June 6, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth follows Cloud and co. after they leave the first game's Blade Runner-infused megacity of Midgar and head out on an open-world-ish adventure to find Sephiroth and save the world. Its peaks are higher than those of the first game but its troughs are also deeper. The big question will be how well the Switch 2 can handle its much larger environments. Valve's Steam Deck has more than struggled with the much more sprawling sequel."
"The speed at which Rebirth is coming to Switch 2 is the real surprise here. While we'll have to wait to see just how much it tests Nintendo's new hardware, the move certainly lends more credence to the possibility that the third game in the remake trilogy, which is reportedly playable and almost finished, won't be a timed PlayStation 5 exclusive like the others. Hopefully for Switch 2 and Xbox owners, the next game comes to every platform day-and-date."
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will release on Switch 2 on June 6. The game follows Cloud and companions after they leave Midgar and embark on an open-world-style quest to find Sephiroth and save the planet. The sequel offers higher peaks and deeper troughs than its predecessor, with much larger environments that may challenge Switch 2 hardware; Valve's Steam Deck has struggled with the sprawling sequel. The Switch 2 version includes a new "boost" mode that grants massively increased damage and maxed Materia to simplify combat for players who prefer a frictionless experience. The rapid Switch 2 port raises the possibility that the trilogy's third entry will launch across platforms simultaneously.
