I’m nearly done with Final Fantasy 5, after having beat 3 and 4 back to back. 6 is up next!

I’ve been on a Final Fantasy kick for the last year after a long hiatus. I completed 1 & 2 over 20 years ago, and beat Tactics and Tactics Advance a few years after that. After a long gap, I finished 7 (the original) and Crisis Core Reunion within the last year.

My eventual goal is to beat every single-player Final Fantasy RPG, including sequels and spin-off series.

OK but here’s the thing about Gargoyles. They’re all running around in loincloths. Can’t they afford pants

And it’s been true since the very first console. The Master System was more powerful than the NES, and the Genesis/Mega Drive was more powerful than the Super NES (arguably; the Sega CPU was far more powerful than Nintendo’s). Same is true for its portables.

They’ve always prioritized per-unit margins. It’s a conservative approach, but it means profit on every console sold.

So there’s a 0% chance this console is actually as powerful as a PS5. However, there’s a good chance there are hardware and software techniques being used to upscale a lower resolution image.

Your anecdotal experience doesn’t really seem to match up with sales numbers.

Speaking personally, I go stretches not playing the Switch and then months where I play nothing else. There are a zillion great games for it, and if they don’t interest you that’s more about your interests than the Switch itself.

I keep thinking 1 & 2 will be remade as one package. It would be perfect for the Switch.

But then I also thought we’d have Shining Force remakes as well at some point, and we only got the one for GBA.

Both Camelot games. I guess they’re too busy making Mario sports games.

Honestly, I just pay for cloud save game storage. I don’t even look at the emulated game offerings anymore, because I got used to being underwhelmed.

I wish I could pay half as much for just the storage. Or get it for free as a perk of the platform, god forbid.
