Last week’s Nintendo Direct was packed with new third party titles and one of the most ambitious to catch our attention was the Switch 2 port of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Oliver lined up what little footage we have with the PlayStation 5 version to figure out exactly how Square Enix has managed to bring a visually impressive current-gen title to the Nintendo hybrid. Put simply, the footage suggests an intelligently handled, cut-back version of the original game. The closer you look, the more compromises you’ll see, but it’s clearly still Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and seems to hold up well.
