Nintendo has published an interview with Final Fantasy VII Remake series director Naoki Hamaguchi who has reconfirmed that both Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the third game are currently in development for the Nintendo Switch 2. He said that despite the technical shortcomings of the Nintendo Switch 2 the games will not have any compromises, stating that “The Nintendo Switch 2 versions are being developed in a way that keeps the gameplay experience pretty much exactly the same as all the other platforms, so I hope this reassures Nintendo Switch 2 players.”
It’s been announced that other titles in the FINAL FANTASY VII remake trilogy are also coming to Nintendo Switch 2. What can fans expect to see from those future instalments?
Hamaguchi:
There’s not a huge amount of information I can share in terms of future games, but I can reassure players that we’re working on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, the second game in the series, and the third game too. They are being worked on for Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the other platforms right now. One thing to reassure the fans who want to play these games on Nintendo Switch 2: I’ve got a personal policy where I don’t want to make any versions of my games different or offer a different gameplay experience just because they’re on different hardware. That might get confusing for players, and they might wonder which version of the game they should buy. That’s something I’d very much like to avoid. The Nintendo Switch 2 versions are being developed in a way that keeps the gameplay experience pretty much exactly the same as all the other platforms, so I hope this reassures Nintendo Switch 2 players.
