@CJD87 FF14 is definitely NOT turn based. This is an MMORPG, and those typically aren’t turn based.

@HugoGED 14 doesn’t run at 60fps on PS4 anymore and hasn’t for quite a while, at least not under normal circumstances.

Yoshi-P already said PS4 support will be dropped within the next two years. Switch 2 support will last quite a while.

@JohnnyMind Plus they released the Evercold trailer on YouTube while the Fanfest was going on but BEFORE they made the announcement on stage, then likely edited the description after.

Yoshi-P is a crafty, crafty man!

@JohnnyMind It’ll be for S2, they probably had the trailer all made and brand-badged before they decided to do the S2 announcement. Yoshi-P did say on stage that Nintendo was…taken by surprise when he told them he wanted to show it live on stage at this Fanfest, after all!

It’ll be out day and date for S2 when it launches for all other platforms.

@Highlar75 You actually don’t need PS Plus to play FF14 on PS4/5. MS is the only one that requires their own paid online service to play 14.

@Serpenterror That’s the neat thing about subscriptions: you can restart them!

@Highlar75 You know you can stop paying till you want to play it again, right? No sense spending money for a service you’re not currently using.

@Smithicus So…you’re essentially saying Kaimya is lazy.

That’s a bold strategy, let’s see how well that works out!

@atepa Docked mode still sucks, though. Frame rate and picture clarity are nowhere near what they should be. Probably looks much better on the smaller screen. I haven’t tried with boost, just standard docked.

If I want to play P5R currently, it’s on PS5 or Series X sadly.

@gcunit This is true, but this info about the dock has been shared numerous times since it was released.

@ROBLOGNICK No The only reason the S2 dock has a fan is to cool ITSELF off. Not the console itself. The S2 dock generates heat when in use, more than the S1 did.

It does amuse me how many people in this comments section are terrified of their S2 overheating without the fan on the S2 dock if they use this…heck, Nintendo themselves said in their little Welcome Tour thing that the fan was NOT to keep the console cool, it does that just fine by itself with its own blower system.

Edit: yes, I’m aware not everyone has the welcome tour. I sure don’t!

@Kazman2007 Fair, it’s just that after enjoying P5 on PS4, the Switch P5R version felt massively lacking in the looks department.

It DESPERATELY needs a Switch 2 patch/update.

Also, if you don’t mind PS2 era graphics, P4G is fantastic.

I am not one to dissuade someone from playing any flavor of Persona 5, but…if you can play it on ANY other system, I suggest you do so. The Switch port is serviceable but intensely blurry and being on Switch 2 provides no benefit.

I hope Atlus someday puts out a patch, but till then…as much as I love P5R, the Switch version is painful.

May have to get this for S2 now.

Weirdly I’m not able to buy the game digitally on PS5. For some reason having the demo purchased makes the game ITSELF unpurchaseable. So…now that the 60fps mode is here, I have zero reason not to get it for S2 instead.

I can’t wait to not play Overwatch 2-renamed-to-Overwatch-to-try-and-draw-people-back!

@sammarkvoort Capcom themselves said that GKC are counted as digital sales in their counts. So…yes, they aren’t actual physical releases. Please stop trying to defend bad things.

Not to mention that this is a “physical release” that is completely and utterly useless. Not even a semi-playable build like an actual game card might have. This is a paperweight.

…given how much had to be “given up” on base ps5 for performance mode, I have to wonder just how good this port will be.

But games like Star Wars Outlaws have shown me that nigh-impossible ports are possible, so who knows at this point?

Mildly pleasantly surprised Nintendo didn’t take the opportunity to just leave digital at the physical price and increase the physical price.

…well, I just might have to show up for this if it’ll be a real game on card release!

I miss messing around with the 3DS version, and I hope this will be a worthy successor.

“Digital collectible”

I hate this timeline sometimes.

Limited Run Games: “We have the worst reputation of any physical game publisher.”

First Press Games: “Hold my lager.”

…surprised the comments were left on for this, to be perfectly honest.

Did…did this actually NEED a S2 edition?

This isn’t a critique, I own an unopened physical copy of the game for Switch (no free update for that? Booooo!) and have done all my playing of it on PS5 thanks to it being a PS Plus game a year or so ago. But…was it that demanding on the S1 system?

Kudos to this dev going above and beyond tho! It’s a damn good game.

@Emacster You’d be wrong in this case, or the smaller lower-res screen fooled your eyes into thinking they ran better. Docked on S1 and S2 always provide better CPU/GPU performance, and no exceptions come readily to mind!

I feel sorry for anyone who got shafted by Capcom with that abhorrent cloud nonsense. They should have given some kind of discount for anyone who fell for that.

@Emacster Maybe I’m stupid here but…yes, docked will almost always perform better because it isn’t throttled?

I’m not seeing the point you’re trying to make here. 99.9% of the time Switch and Switch 2 games perform better when docked, do they not?

I wish there was a “I don’t know, I’m not heavily into Pokemon” option.

I actually own LeafGreen but I don’t think I played more than a couple hours of it back in the day. Maybe I’d enjoy it more now?

FYI the digital version of XCX is $39.99 on Amazon and GameStop right now. Cheaper than buying directly from Nintendo eshop, then just get the upgrade!

Well, at least now no one can say that Nintendo is afraid to let their biggest failures be acknowledged! If you’d told me a year ago they’d have Virtual Boy games available and you’d need to buy an accessory just to SEE them properly, I’d have called you nuts.

But here we are!

I wish there was a way to play these without the peripherals, but I understand why.

@cvrator OH GOD NO

Also curious if Apple will allow the iPod to remain in the updated version, or if it’ll be replaced with a generic music player.

S2 version is a key card. S1 version is a little over 4 GB so just Peace Walker with MGS4 as a download.

Konami finds ways to disappoint even when they free MGS4 from PS3 jail. I’ll be playing on PS5.

The demo on PS5 was bug-ridden, filled with horrible grammar and misspellings and felt more like a mobile game.

Like Balan Wonderworld, that demo made me decide to never touch this game unless a LOT gets fixed/updated.

@Bizzyb I’m shocked too. I was going to pass on this since I already have it digitally for PS5, but now…

@HolyGeez03 @TheRazor

Bethesda and machine games just confirmed this is NOT a game key card and the full game will be on cart.

So S2 is getting something Xbox and PS5 haven’t: this game fully on physical media.

https://x.com/bethesda/status/2019446765750022245

I am all over this. Loved the two originals.

Hopefully there’ll be a non-LRG physical release.

I am shocked, SHOCKED I say that Gearbox can’t get this done. I mean, B4 barely runs on PC and PS5…

@RainbowGazelle I’m pretty sure the 3D printer market will be able to fill the gap here.

Well, I’m legally unable to buy their game on Switch as a result.

I now regret giving them money for the PS5 version as well.

Intergrade fell off because it is damn near SOLD OUT everywhere. They burned through the first run that included the free MtG cards really, really fast.

Rather difficult to keep selling more physical copies when they don’t have any to sell…

@Dang_69 The existence of an uncensored Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 would indicate otherwise, at least in some situations.

Of course, this is the company that prevented a few recent games from any release whatsoever, so it’s really hard to tell with current Nintendo anymore!

@ThatOneLevel “No one cared about that censorship so why should you care about this censorship” is a bold move, let’s see how this plays out.

Also…we WERE annoyed and angry about those previous instances. It just didn’t change anything. Don’t leave Tokyo Mirage Sessions out of your list of censored games, either.

In this particular instance we have a clear platform/region difference between NA/Euro PS5 and Japan PS5, so we can already see that this is a one-version-all-regions Switch specific issue. One which is far more likely to be addressed than a game that is solely on Nintendo platforms.

@Discostew Exactly. They just failed to make two different versions for the regions in this instance. Which seems like an INCREDIBLY stupid decision on whoever’s part it was to make.

@conditionals That’s not getting caught up in the noise, that’s a proper and considered response. Zero reason we should get a lesser product on this platform due to another country’s rating system.

Once they fix it, I’ll be happy to double dip down the road. For now, I’ll just enjoy it on PS5 once it surfaces to the top of my backlog!

The existence of Cyberpunk 2077 uncensored on Switch 2 (along with a metric ton of other spicy games) makes it very, very unlikely this was a general Nintendo mandate.

Likely AdHoc chose to or wasn’t able to (possibly Nintendo required them to not) have separate Switch Japanese and Western region releases and bowed to the heavier Japanese restrictions on things like this. From what I hear, the Japanese PS5 version is censored as well, but the other PS5 region versions are NOT.

Either way, whoever or whatever is truly to blame..:if you have to buy this game, don’t get it on Switch. Get it on PC or PS. Or, since neither Nintendo nor AdHoc could give a straight answer on this till NOW, regardless of accuracy…just don't buy it at all till whatever is going to happen happens. Hopefully Nintendo might allow refunds for those who preordered it before this became general knowledge due to the incompetence behind communicating all this before release.

This is why you should NEVER preorder games digitally. Ever.

Reminder that Dispatch is censored on Switch/Switch 2 and if you have any other option, you should get it on PC or PS5 instead. Or just don’t support the company that censored it at all, apparently the Japanese PS5 release is also censored.

@Pillowpants I’m sorry, when Capcom is putting their stamp on an SD Express card and also releasing three big RE games on GKCs that will probably sit on said SD Express card as a result, did you not think that 2+2 would indeed equal four and folks might notice this?

All the people mocking/decrying the $60 price obviously don't remember that the 3DS version launched in 2014 at the then-normal $39.99 price for 3DS games. No one said “OMG, can’t believe you’re asking that much for such a limited game!”

Were you expecting them to do a lower than standard Nintendo-published Switch 1 new game price for this? Must be a lot of folks new to Nintendo pricing here today!

Used a voucher for it. I enjoyed the heck out of the 3DS version, and I’m looking forward to having this on my S2.

@datamonkey Because not everyone enjoys the same things, so what interests other people and they think is worthy of a Direct might not interest you at all. And that’s perfectly fine.

@PtM Hoping so! I have a voucher waiting to be used and it might as well be this one!

Edit, Checked the eshop and it is! Redeemed!
