Final Fantasy VII is probably the only game I’d rather play on Switch, not counting Nintendo exclusives that I can’t be bothered to emulate. The Switch port is the updated version that’s available for windows through the Xbox store, but for some baffling reason the Steam version is older, lacks the new accessibility features, requires a launcher, and just all around does not want to work well on modern computers.
I used to think this until I got 7th Heaven running on the deck. Wide screen, enhanced textures and character models, 60fps, orchestral soundtrack, and I even added the delightfully amateur voice acting mod.
It was a massive pain to set up, but now I can't imagine going back.
