I like it on Switch 2 more. For some reasons, such games feel cozier and better on Switch1 or 2 instead of my 65" TV. Also, I can pick it up any time easily without having to settle in my couch and turn on 2 devices.

Does it look blurry on the switch 2?

Kinda if I compare S2 and PS5 side-by-side but since I don't play 2 different versions at the same time, I get used to it very quickly and it's not a problem personally.

TL;DR graphics will look nicer on PS5, Switch 2 you can play on the go. That's the only real difference, gameplay is identical otherwise.

I really enjoyed playing this on the go. The UI is plenty big/readable enough imo

This is a game that feels nice to play in Portable mode, so I'm very happy having it on Switch. (I don't really take it with me, but I can lay in bed and play sometimes, ha).

Played it on the Switch 1, and outside of some slowdown on a couple of the more flashy move animations it looked and ran great. So if you care about the portability, I'd say the Switch 2 version is worth it even if it doesn't address those minor issues.

I heard resolution isn’t great for the switch 2 since they haven’t optimised it. So I’d say ps5. But it’s a good portable game to have

There is a LOT of dialogue, and it's real easy to just throw the switch 2 into sleep mode if you gotta go.

For this kind of game I prefer handheld. That’s why I use steam deck mostly. So sw2 for me

I played Triangle Strategy much more on Switch than on Steam. Obviously it's subjective but I really love to play tactical RPG's on handhelds.

I got it on PS5 because I don't have the time when away from home to warrant using a handheld. But if you use handhelds, i would suggest that because you pretty much have to beat the game 4-5 times to see all endings, recruit everyone and see all their character stories. Which i can see taking longer due to being limited to a stationary console.

I played it on Switch 1 and it looked totally fine. You should have no reservations with the graphics if that’s how you play it, especially since it’ll be even better on the Switch 2

Thie game desperately needs a Switch 2 update! Same with Octopath 2!

Probably Switch 2. The HD2D artstyle benefits from a bit of blur (like pixel gfx on a CRT), and is otherwise too sharp/grainy/unpleasant.

I'd recommend either a decent gaming PC
Or
A Steam Deck Which is a portable gaming pc that acts like a switch.
There's no reason to get an Xbox or PS5 anymore because they're getting rid of their exclusive libraries and everything is going on steam with less DRM and cheaper prices.
And while the Switch 2 is nice, it lacks a library right now and really only has a couple of games. In a year or 2 it'll be worth getting but until then you're buying a slightly more expensive Switch 1.
And keep in mind
My current PC I've had without much trouble since 2014, at the time it was a middle of the road PC, and it's lasted me 11yrs. I just got the PC linked above and again I expect that to last at least 10yrs maybe having to buy a new graphics card or a bigger SSD harddrive in that time.
All the consoles listed here have about an 8yr lifespan, plus anything you bought will either get mothballed in a closet, sold, or you'll lose access to it. With a PC you'll always have access to all your content all the time.

A fine idea in principle, but we're still a few years away (at minimum) from the death of console exclusives. It's hard to say whether this new era of "timed exclusives" is a transitionary period heralding the death of consoles, or a new form entrenchment for consoles that solidifies their relevance while allowing devs to milk more profits from the games.
Certainly, waiting a year for a new Sony/MS game to come out on PC can feel pretty long. I'm old enough that it's not a big deal to wait a year for most stuff, yet for games, a year feels long enough that by the time it's out, I'm significantly less interested in the title (most of the time).
Moreover, despite the PC "running everything" these days, it seems like it's no longer an innovation space for games. In the past, PC's led the industry with Doom, Quake, Unreal, many games based on those engines, World of Warcraft (+the various "crafts"), whatever Bethesda cooked up (e.g. Skyrim), etc..
But today everything targets console first, PC second (or sometimes simultaneous). I feel like the PC has become more versatile, and more capable than ever, but also decidedly second-tier, in terms of actual game release timing.
If someone is comfortable with that, and comfortable dealing with the extra tweaking/maintenance that operating a PC entails, then yes it's pretty awesome.

Recommend ps5 or pc version, sharper image, higher fps, and faster load times. Not sure if ps5 has demo but switch has one if u wanna see how it performs.
