Is anyone holding off on FFVII-R until it comes to Switch/Xbox/PC?
- Thread starter jacks81x
- Start date
I went ahead with the PS4 version but will be buying it and the rest on PC. I can't imagine they will have timed exclusivity on the other parts. Just doesn't make sense.
Aside from texture issues, there is nothing else wrong with the game.
I've never played a FF fantasy game, nor intend to. Zelda games have bored me out of ever trying any other RPG. So no.
Also a Switch port ain't happening. Xbox/PC ports are most likely already finished. Hell some of the trailers use PC footage. They've just been blocked by Sony for a year.

The game is full of N64 textures. I know this sounds like hyperbole, but it isn't.
A Switch port is likely doable, it's whether or not Square-Enix feels the 1-2 million in sales they would get from that is worthwhile.
It's not going to be the prettiest version, but you can't exactly take a PS4 or XB1X in your coat pocket either.
Switch 2 is a for sure though.

It might be a bug but the whole chapter is filled with lower than usual quality textures and some of the the assets in plane sight are surprisingly pretty low poly from what I'd expect considering how close you get to them.
Haha really? Maybe I should watch that digital foundry video. I haven't really paid attention to this game
I have the holy trinity, but there was no point in waiting. Saved $10 at Walmart, and it gives me something to play while I Can't do shit else during this lockdown.
Definitely playing now considering the seeming craziness involving spoilers
lmaoo that Switch version >_>

They already have one of those for FF7, and its already on Switch
I was hoping the PC release wasn't a long wait, like 3-6 months, my experience would undoubtedly be so much better since it's PC, but a year wait is just a bit too much that I'll most likely pick it up this month. Really not a fan of these bullshit timed exclusive deals where a company pays just to keep it off other platforms, but anyway, it is what it is.
The work they'd need to do for a Switch version is largely the same sort of changes they'd make for a mobile version.
When you consider that, it suddenly doesn't sound as unlikely.
FFVIIR and its sequels are going to be a huge part of SE's business this decade. It's crucially important that they have a large addressable market for FFVIIR-2.
What? Isn't the Switch version already out?
Come on, that's clearly a bug
My plan all along has been to wait for the PC release. I need at least double the frames.
I played FFVII for 100s of hours in the 90s, why rush?

What is this, GameFAQs? GTFO with this console warrior bs.
This. Except I hope PS5 version is just the PS4 one with free visual upgrades and DLC.
I used to be of this mindset, but I'm not anymore. You can see tons of PS4 games like Monster Hunter World Iceborne and Resident Evil 2 Remake running on a GPD Win 2, which is overall probably weaker than a Switch and these games have no real optimization specific to that hardware.
MH World Iceborne even runs at a very decent 30+ fps.
Here's Resident Evil 3 Remake, which is probably a better looking game than FFVII Remake
Again this is really no hardware optimization. I think all these games can in fact run on a Switch. Is the undocked version going to win a medal for sexiest looking version? Of course not. But with a bit of optimization at 540p undocked I think they can get a 30 fps version.
It's a question moreso of are the sales of a 1+ year late port worth it ... maybe. FFVII is a flagship brand for Square-Enix, the same way things like Witcher 3 are for other companies there may be a desire to get a version for Switch to tap into an extra market, probably Japan in specific you're looking at 500k+ sales there alone.
They were willing to put in the time for DQXI ... FFVII Remake I think would likely outsell that fairly easily, probably similar sales in Japan + higher sales in Europe and North America.
If I'm gonna get it, I'll wait for the XB1 (or XSX if that's the case) version. Only got round to the original recently so don't have the 20+ year love that made it an immediate purchase for a lot of folks. Still interested enough in trying it out eventually though, so may as well support more Japanese games on Xbox.
Waiting on PC or next-gen update.
Don't really care about better graphics or higher framerate (even if it'd be nice), i mainly want a good streaming solution. I play a lot of my games streaming from my PC to my iPad, so if it comes to PC that'd be great, and if PS5 has good in-home streaming? I'd be happy with that too.

ya...cant do 30fps with low textures. will wait for pc version. i would like to, but i can wait a year.
I think if anything it'll be ported to XSX and Switch Pro/2 down the line.
I didn't buy it, but I plan to buy it on PS4 when it's cheaper/on-sale.

I'm waiting for the PC version. I ended up kicking myself when I got Red Dead Redemption 2 for the PS4 instead of just waiting for the PC release.
Some textures have problems on a few chapters but the overall quality is on another level.. the game is fantastic don't miss it.
