Announced back in a September 2018 Nintendo Direct was that a handful of Final Fantasy games would be receiving a port to the Nintendo Switch. Three of those aforementioned games have been given their release date: Final Fantasy X HD, X-2 HD, and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. The first two are slated for release on April 16th, while XII will arrive slightly after, on April 30th. Additionally, these will all also be available to purchase on the Xbox One.

Those games have been portable on the Vita for a long time now though, other than FF12.

The Vita version of FFX is missing a lot of the features introduced in the PS4/PC version.

What features are those? I assume you are talking about the features the ps2 international edition had

The Vita version lacks the ability to use the old sound track, you don't get the boost cheats, and you don't get the auto battle and fast forward option. Fast forward option is the one I care about most, because it makes grinding random battle games a bit more tolerable. I'm pretty sure the Switch version will get all the new features the PC/PS4 version got.

Thus, the Vita version is inferior Imo.

The new soundtrack is utter trash.

Yup, and the Vita/PS3 version is STUCK with the new soundtrack, while the PS4/PC version can change between the two, which I'm sure the Switch will use the PC/PS4 version(I hope).

Pretty sure it'll be the case, no way would it get the inferior version.

Pretty much my thoughts. If the Switch gets the PS4/PC version, it'd be the superior portable version. The Vita lacks a lot of features(fast forward being the main one), and dooms you with the new sound track.

It's just bad, glad I never listen to it anymore.

The latest announcements of Grandia 1/2, FFX/X-2 alone make me want to get a switch.

I said nothing has been revealed for 2019, there hasn't been any new new info since fall 2018, why did you link this? I already read this. GungHo has nothing new on their Twitter or Facebook page, there hasn't been info in five months. Did you read what I said?

You missed my point. It's something I'm excited for, and a reason I may finally get a switch.

I was worried because Gungho hasn't said anything in five months, that's all

I love Grandia very much, really I do. Played it often enough in my childhood.
Sadly dont expect anything polished from gungho.
The steam port is messed up. It crashes every 20min while changing maps and it has z buffer issues
In cutscenes. Even cutscenes glitch out where animations won't work. After mothy of complaining nothing was fixed. You dont want to play such a port o a switch...

Hopefully the games run at good framerates, though they're not as demanding as DOOM I think they'll run just fine.

The game is not demanding at all, despite having new models, textures, etc
