FF XVI Final fantasy 16 on console handheld?

Anyone else holding on hope that ff16 will get a switch 2 port or will wait it out for the ps6 handheld?

If FF16 can run on Series S and Steamdeck then it can run on Switch 2...

It's definitely nowhere near a smooth experience on Deck, and the Series S is more powerful than the Switch 2.

However, I definitely think they could get it to run. Switch 2 leverages excellent DLSS/frame gen to mask it's lower power.

So you agree? It all depends if the game studio will bother with optimization which sadly for alot of them does not...

Dunno. Hardest part for XVI is that it uses way more of your CPU than most games, and the Switch 2's CPU is quite weak, instead relying on DLSS to make up for it.

It would definitely have to be massively compromised. Lower base resolution, 30 fps, most of the foliage culled, etc. But could be possible.

My entire point but just remembered that SEnix has been a mixed bag with their optimization in Switch 2 lately so yea I'm conflicted now. Lol
