Final Fantasy 7 Remake dev talks about why Cloud’s hair can look jagged on Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade director Naoki Hamaguchi has commented on the Nintendo Switch 2 version’s “hair problem”.
Differences in hair is something we’ve seen in some third-party ports for the system so far. With Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, Cloud’s hair can sometimes look a bit jagged. According to Hamaguchi, the game uses temporal anti-aliasing, but “jagged edges in the hair become more noticeable” during busier moments in which the resolution drops.

Square Enix’s Naoki Hamaguchi has again commented on game-key cards, and now directly spoke about why we wouldn’t be seeing Final Fantasy 7 Remake on Nintendo Switch 2 if they didn’t exist.

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 3 months ago by Jeremy Rice in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: February 5, 2026
Developer: Square Enix / HexaDrive
Publisher: Square Enix
Dragon Quest 7 is a game with a reputation. A reputation for what, may you ask? A reputation for being one of the longest slogs not only in Dragon Quest history, but in the history of traditional JRPGs as a whole. As Square Enix continually looks into its long history for games that modernize and enhance for a modern audience, there are few title in their catalog more in need of a refresh than this one. So it was with much rejoicing that Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined was announced last year. The question we must ask ourselves, now that the game has finally arrived on store shelves, is can Square Enix do enough to turn this controversial entry in its longest-running series into yet another beloved remaster?
