Nintendo | Naoki Hamaguchi on Keeping the REMAKE Trilogy on Nintendo Switch 2 the Same as Other Platforms

FINAL FANTASY Symmetry.

With FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE available now on the Nintendo Switch 2, along with a demo, Director Naoki Hamaguchi, recently sat down with Nintendo for an interview. During the interview, Hamaguchi-san revealed his desire to ensure the gameplay experience of REBIRTH and its sequel will be the same on Nintendo Switch 2 as it would on other platforms. His full comments can be seen here:

Naoki 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.
