Switch vs Vita?

[Sir Sparhawk]

Good afternoon all :)

I Got both Final Fantasy X and X-2 at launch on the PS2 and then again on the Vita. After looking around the internet for a while I've not found anywhere that directly compare the Vita version to the one that's just released on switch.

Having recently buying a Switch and not having may games I want to know if it's worth buying it a third time or is there just not enough difference to justify buying it at full price again?

Just for clarification If i did buy it again it would almost universally be played in handheld mode

In advance I thank you for your time.

Let me type "FFX switch" in Google one second...

*50 Euro*

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

PS. Just buy a new Switch exclusive for that price.

Price is ridiculously high. I would wait a few months until the price drops.
Otherwise its pretty much the same game.

just technical differences in like:

>1280x720 instead of 960x544
>much higher texture resolution
>higher dynamic shadow resolution
>probably Ambient occlusion?

I'd say the Switch version looks probably equal to the PS3 version.

I'm also looking for some help with this, I've only played final fantasy 14 and 15. I enjoyed both. I have also played DQ 11 which I liked very much.

I'm thinking about getting this or FF7 on the switch, but 7 is really aged.

Which one is worth it?

FF7 is $16 btw but the graphics is really holding me back...

FFX is a fantastic game and well worth the money if you've never played it before. Although gameplay wise it is nothing like 14 and 15, it's much more traditional.

Thanks!
I've played Octopath traveller as well if that's what you mean by traditional, but the random encounters threw me off.

I've not got octopath yet and I can't remember how its supposed to play.

But checking your libery it will play very, very similarly to dragon quext xi

If you hate random encounters, FFX is likely a turn-off for you. In some areas, the encounter rate is terribly high and interruptive. In Mt. Gagazet, I clocked that you'll run into an encounter every 6 seconds on average. In Bravely Default, the time was about 10-15 seconds, usually closer to 15 seconds, when you're using the default encounter rate. Does Octopath Traveller have the same feature as Bravely Default, being able to change the encounter rate from the menu?

I dont think it does, because a certain character has a passive skill that reduces the amount of random encounters.

I think I may hold off for now, thanks for all the help though!

The 2nd game is provided via download code inside the box which has to be entered through Square Enix website so you will need to register an account with them. (apparently the Asian version comes with both games on the cartridge). Unfortunately I am unable to access the 2nd game as Square Enix website accepts the code, but will not add it to the account. Also, I don't understand how the game then suddenly appears on the cartridge inside my Nintendo Switch. Unable to contact Square Enix so need to speak to Nintendo Store for help or just return & get a refund. Just thought I'd warn people incase they have the same issue with their game too.

I'm guessing it doesn't happen magically and you need enough free space. OR the game SSD comes with most FFX-2 stuff already loaded but it needs to download a couple more things on the Switch real fast.

I would have thought so, but I can't make the connection between a code entered on an account with Square Enix to my physical game cartridge inside my Nintendo Switch. What happens inbetween to allow me to play the game?

I left the game for a few mins to see if there was anything to auto download, checked in the options for updates then opened the game to see if it would activate from the main menu. Nothing worked. I'm waiting to speak to someone at Nintendo to help fix the issue, but they're closed over Easter. If not then I'll return it for a refund.

Doesn't Vita not have the option to use the original music?

Lemme think..... an old handheld that already dead versus brand new handheld.......

I'm asking based on the fact that I already own a Vita with both FFX and FFX-2 for it.

Is the upgrade good enough to buy the same game again?
