Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Simplifies Graphics on Switch 2
- Demo showcases major decor reductions for the Switch 2
- Initial feedback highlights minimalistic room design
- Graphics performance varies significantly between versions
The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo for Nintendo Switch 2 has garnered mixed reactions, with many noting a stark reduction in interior decor and background props, which gives the environments a minimalist feel compared to the PS5 edition.
Set to release on June 3, the demo allows Switch 2 users to experience the beginning of the game, including Cloud's iconic Nibelheim flashback. YouTuber Jon Cartwright has provided a side-by-side comparison of the gameplay on both platforms. While the PS5 achieves 60FPS, the Switch 2 maxes out at 30FPS, displaying notable graphical differences, especially in crowded visuals.
The absence of many props, like flower vases and family photos, has sparked discussions online, with players expressing how it affects the nostalgia of key scenes. As one user humorously noted, "Do you want food or frames?" highlighting the game's minimalist approach.
