Same. Stylistically, FF has looked meh to me since X. The World of Final Fantasy style looks like an HD PS1 game, which I prefer.

I cant breathe. 😂
Me as well. More traditional combat and giving the script another pass would do wonders for this game.
Not really "considerably" lower res. DQXI = 900p, FFXV = 900p to 1080p dynamic.
Resolution isn't everything there is to a game. DQXI is a totally different beast from FFXV. On every level.
There's no reason to think the Switch version of DQXI isn't based on UE4. It makes sense for an eventual FFXV port to not be based on the Luminous Engine version. It doesn't for DQXI.
And the Switch still struggles to get any quality JRPGs... Sigh
There's Disgaea 5, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Dragon Quest XI, Fire emblem, Octopath Traveler, SMTV and more coming up. JRPGs aren't going to be a problem on Switch.

To be fair only one of those is out so far (that and I Am Setsuna) but yeah it's definitely got quite a few announced.

Octopath please come out soon.
It already has more announced RPG's than Wii U had in its lifetime.
Well yeah it's a slow start, like almost everything Switch-related.
I forgot Disgaea 5 indeed, but all the others have no set release dates, do they? And I know it won't be a problem in the slightest in the long run haha.
You say it like that's an accomplishment.

Lol reminds me of Sony promoting their Vaio P lineup using pocket..
Okay THIS is bullshit. Hahahahahahaha.
Xenoblade 2 comes out this holiday, I mean the console is just coming up on half a year old, and it certainly seems to be coming together faster than recent previous generations of Nintendo hardware, including their handhelds.
It will have 5 more than PS4 in it's first 9 months (which had 0). I would like to see more though.
Downgrade textures, size and performance issues solved!

Huh?
(Man, I wish the mouths had even basic opening and closing textures)
Looks better than the scene in the OG FFXV version.
DECREASE, not "fixes completely" =P

I like more how Cindy looks here than in the full game.
Too bad the rest of the crew looks awful.

That Pocket Edition has one of the ugliest artstyles I've ever seen in my life. Holy shit it's fucking hideous!

Seriously. I even like chibi artstyle but this variant is just extremely ugly.

Like... Nothing wrong with chibi, but these characters look like freaking aliens.

If this is going to be based on the Pocket version I hope they change the gameplay enough to not feel like a mobile action rpg game. Can they make it turn based or would that be too much of a departure to FFXV.
It is like they tryed to make SD but still be able to reuse the basic skeleton from the non-sd animation

That's well and good, but what I want to know is whether it's coming to Switch
Wait, never mind

Pocket Edition is the only thing that really makes sense.

Fix the eyes and open the mouth.

Also Gladio's legs.
32GB appears to be biggest card capacity currently.
That would seem to be a limiting factor for XV, even if it were scaled down quite a bit. Hmm.
I think it would be pretty cool to see on Switch, but there seem to be some hurdles to be cleared.
We Alpha Gaffers don't take public transportation. We have stretched limos with drivers that transport us. Plenty of room available.
They're following on from the style of FF3 and FF4 DS which a lot of people also hated.
Like Final Fantasy is known for having wildly different art styles for each game, which is one of the reasons people love the series. So I don't understand they insist on sticking with this consistent, crappy art style.
If they target 720p and reduce the texture sizes it would probably be doable. Assuming a port of the engine is possible.
I'd rather they put that effort/manpower into a Switch version of FFVII Remake, and making sure it releases same day as other platforms. I understand they are looking for greater returns on that massive FFVX investment though.
This development - if true - definitely won't hurt though. It would also put to rest the "yeah but can the Switch acceptably run more recent AAA games?" debates.

What? The Switch is only out a few month and has already many announcement for JRPGs. With Xenoblade2 one of the biggest JRPGs in a long time is Switch exclusive and will be released this year.

But really who wants to play a downgraded version of an old and bad game?
Weird port to be honest. If they want to release FF games on Switch they should start with remaster and remakes.
