Square Enix had 14 years to make this a no-brainer, and fix all the wrongs they designed in the 4-GBA, 4-bespoke cable garbage multiplayer experience from the original Gamecube version and what did they do? Did they make it easy for a family to sit down with their Switch, like I was intending to, and play together? No. Did they do that on PS4? No. Did they come up with a complicated crossplay system literally no one asked for? Yes. Running around carrying the chalice was best served in local multiplayer. The whole argument of ‘it was one or the other’ is nonsense. They even took an extra seven months to botch the multiplayer in a multiplayer-focused game. Square Enix had one job to do and they screwed it up. Who wants to be the one guy on the Switch with actual buttons and sticks, and who wants to be the kid on either a separate Switch and separate Nintendo Online account or, even worse, the smartphone version with no tactile response? “Let’s go set up all the consoles downstairs, kids!” And now on top of this multiplayer is region-locked? No physical copies in the West, and Amazon Japan can’t ship import copies overseas? It’s like Square Enix went out of their way to mess this one up.
