Square Enix employees have apparently revealed that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake runs at 40fps. Traditionally games generally run at 30fps or 60fps so this supposedly means that the demo of Final Fantasy VII Remake was running in Performance Mode on the Gamescom show floor. The PlayStation 5 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake has several modes for you to choose from and it seems as though the Nintendo Switch 2 version will be similar.
“Many apologies for the mistake I made in this video, I genuinely believed the game was running at 60fps. Having looked over the gameplay though, it appears to be a locked 30fps… HOWEVER, staff on the Final Fantasy booth have subsequently cleared things up, confirming that the game was actually running at
40fps!! All in all, the game runs super smooth and feels GREAT to play on switch 2!”
So we went from having crappy old gen ports to having crappy current gen ports.
The switch had a lot of great ports, but some developers were lazy when they ported some of the games the ones who did it properly made some great ports … the switch2 already has a couple of really good ports … , and you haven’t even seen the game run, a comment made on the article said it runs great on the switch2 …. And try playing PlayStation games on a portable system, that actually plays them without having to be tethered to their home system same with the Xbox games ..,. Maybe you just like to trash and Nintendo !? 🤨
The quote says: “All in all, the game runs super smooth and feels GREAT to play on switch 2!”
So it is not a bad port.
idk if you have a switch 2 or a high refresh rate monitor, but 40fps looks pretty smooth on those montiors.
I’m afraid so.
40 fps for a game like this is fine. You want to push 60+ with competitive games or games that offer a real challenge. This is a fairly easy game to play at a lower frame rate. As long as this framerate is consistent even in handheld mode it will be perfect.
Iam beginning to think the Switch 2 is weaker than I thought after seeing the beautiful Mario Kart World.
Seeing how Nintendo doesn’t sell their platforms at a loss like their competition and how handhelds that are comparable to a PS4 Pro are still pricey today, what exactly were you expecting? For a handheld in 2025 it’s pretty average for a powerhouse portable. People that were expecting something comparable to a PS5 are delusional. We won’t see that level of power on portables for another 5+ years.
Now people can’t cry about Switch 2 ports not being able to run above 30fps.🤣
Hmm very annoying. The console is already outdated.
Please be quiet.
Nintendo never cared about how outdated its consoles are.
Ok. Good enough.
So who said this?
Extremely lazy reporting. No citations for sources, the quote mentions a video where they got it wrong initially. Where’s the video?
Be real this is a trash game anyway and Square Enix is trash too. Instead of flop FF if they made good KH games they’d be in a better place like remake Union X and Dark Road and if Missing Link had been repurposed into a Switch/Switch 2 game no GPS stuff needed they’d do great just a proper game since KH4 seems to probably be canceled or scrapped and pushed to next gen probably as bad or worse than 3.
The game looks like or almost like PS5 version, and runs at 40fps. It’s impressive for a portable device, has anyone expecting exactly the same performance than PS5, taken into consideration the size of the two systems???
Minorities. Either they lack experience or they’re *issed off that Final Fantasy VII re-trilogy are no longer PlayStation exclusives? As long as it’s playable on Nintendo Switch 2, they’re absolutely no crime on how it freaking runs.
I’m so very glad that the Final Fantasy franchise is FINALLY back on a nintendo system.
Too many graphic junkies around.
30 frames is more than enough for an RPG, 40 is perfect.
