Topic: Nihon Falcom games on NS2

I tried Trails from Zero on NS2 and it looks and runs excellent, however the game crashes when viewing movies in the home menu: the only movie that works, is the intro but all others make the game freeze; I reported the issue to Nintendo, hopefully the entire game will work and especially when these movies appear in the main story.

What other Falcom games has everyone else tried and do they have issues similar to Zero?

im curious to see if the same thing happens with azure or if anyone has tried playing through those parts where the FMV stuff shows up on either game since that sounds like it would literally make the games unable to be finished.

From the subreddit i did hear that some of the other games run into the blurry screen issues some switch 1 games run into due to the general low resolution which a lot of the falcom games had in handheld mode.

@Mgalens, Daybreak 1 looks good on NS2 but Daybreak 2 visual quality is worse in every aspect.

I'm concerned for Trails through the Horizon & Trails in sky 1st, on NS2 unless they make a NS2 versions it would be better to play these on NS1.

It's a shame because long JRPGS are best on a portable console and before the switch 2 came out I was really looking forward to playing these on the new hardware.

looking at this article

the mention about a "line of code" related to "video playback" does make me wonder if its also what could be behind this considering the quote "I believe this line of code is also causing compatibility issues with games from other publishers." considering the issues in zero seem to be related to the FMVs i wonder if the way zero handles FMVs is also affected.

@Mgalens, I agree, however it is strange that Xenoblade 1,2&3 all have no issues but it must be smaller third party games that have these issues, problem is, Nis America use PH3 (Peter Durante), I'm unsure whether he has a Dev kit.
