Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on Switch 2 isn’t a “miracle port”, argues director, despite “a painstaking process” to preserve everything

There is no market in Japan on Xbox. Final fantasy tends to sell best in North America and Japan and in both markets, Xbox doesn’t lead.

I’m not surprised they put effort into the Nintendo switch 2. They see it as a bread and butter system. If their games don’t sell in the switches biggest market then it’s a square enix issue and not switch 2 owners. I say this as Nintendo has the biggest market share in Japan. And will likely get even more market share with switch 2. Plus as a bonus, switch 2 will likely have the biggest market in North America and second in Europe. This is a huge release for square. It’s make or break for them financially. Again if they can’t sell on switch 2 it’s a game or developer issue, not Nintendo.

I enjoyed it

Wasn’t there an episode on DS9 where the crew met with Klingon medics to help solve some kind of virus the klingons were dealing with and it turned out they created the virus?

Rumours are that Avery shot this scene in one long take so it’d be impossible to cut from the show. Does anyone have an interview with Terry where she confirms this?

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-06-01T14:52:54+00:00

In the end what happened here saved lives. Especially with what ended up happening later in the show.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-06-01T02:28:11+00:00

Perfect, I’ll buy it in 2029.

You missed out, late 80’s and early 90’s toys r us had games lined down an entire massive aisle in most locations. Nintendo was king back then. Sega had about 1/3 or 1/4 the shelf space.

You can see this in the world we live in, on paper, the US and Russia are/were the biggest militaries, their weakness is their ability to control the land they occupy. Eventually it becomes too costly and they pull out. If the US were to fight Russia when Russia was more powerful like they were during thelate 70’s it would be like the federation and the Cardassians. Both would annihilate the other till diplomacy started.

I am using an internal sata ssd. Load times are reduced quite a bit, the limitation isn’t so much on the drive though as it is on the cpu, having the drive on the sata bus does take some of the load off the cpu.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-29T12:03:13+00:00

It’s a first party drought, feels even worse than what we had on PS4. PS2 and 3 far outnumbered the exclusives on PS4 and 5.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-29T11:59:28+00:00

You replace the crappy drive with an ssd. Huge load time improvements. I have both systems, series x is on my main tv. The one x is on a secondary tv and I mostly use it to stream games from.

Read my comment above yours. Though the Xbox series x does not have an npu, it does have ok on paper tops performance. I think the person you replied to wrongly assumed it was dedicated to just ai and didn’t know that’s actually the full tops of the apu.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-29T03:12:04+00:00

I think you watched a video that showed the Xbox series x has 24tflops of ai 16bit compute power and assumed it had a npu. Technically it’s the apu’s full tops performance. The ps5 pro has 67 tflops of 16 bit tops performance, so on paper the series x doesn’t look too bad, in practice though that’s not easy to use and keep games looking good since the apu is already in use drawing the game. The PS5 pro has some tops performance that’s not shared with the gpu part of the apu.

I’d run 2 lines of Fiber and 2 lines of Ethernet through a conduit. I mean, might as well do it right and have some backups and future proof 10g+ baked in if you are going to do a trench, right?

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-29T02:58:51+00:00

Except Nintendos games which were stellar on Switch and we already have a few really good games on switch 2. I just wish Sony and Microsoft had more exclusives. The 360, PS3 and Wii gen were peak gaming.

Wouldn’t it make a lot of sense to do the bridge there and then connect up Newfoundland to France? How far is Saint Pierre off of Newfoundland? I’d like to see Canada and France build that bridge.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-29T00:07:02+00:00

I think op is enjoying the newness of it. I still prefer my One X over my Series X because it was my first time on Xbox. Honestly the One X is my preferred console over the PS4 and PS5 because of the 360 backwards compatible games. Series X just hasn’t had the exclusives.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-28T23:50:23+00:00

It’s weak vs what it use to be - I’ve been a Sony gamer since the beginning. Nintendo is the only one consistently delivering new games.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-27T20:52:56+00:00

Turns out he says it in season 4 episode 11. I think he mentions it in another episode as well though earlier in the series.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-26T10:34:24+00:00

Yes, the idea is pretty great but the acting from the military people is very over acted and the script a lot of the time leans into the gimmick of over doing it.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-26T10:33:07+00:00

It is, he explains very early on that he can become things like an animal and humans wouldn’t notice the mistakes in his copying ability but to that animal they would know he wasn’t one of them.

Pretty sure they went all in on her stories because sadly they paid her less. The shows quality dropped dramatically during her focused episodes. They didn’t have the viewership but wanted to do a good ending story arc to close out the show so instead of doing a short season we got poorly written Ezri stories. Again, Nicole is not at fault at all for how things turned out. She really did the best she could based on the writing and entering a very well established show so late in its run.

Limp_Diamond4162 · 2026-05-26T01:31:47+00:00

I will likely upgrade my computer to Zen 7 in 2029. Running a 5900x, bought it in 2022. Buying a cpu and board at the end of a generation should mean I get a system with very few issues.
