Final Fantasy Megathread

[Jeff]

A demo for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Demo is up on Switch 2, but there's just one problem. The file size for the demo is 87.9 GB.
So yeah, this demo will cost that much space for your SD card compared to the full game which is 99GB that's 12 gigs higher. I think Square-Enix or Nintendo should do this for huge games with enormous file sizes. Add a separate 250GB SD card included with the game and swap the SD cards back and forth so the previous SD card with all the software and data will be saved while the other SD card is used for a game that uses up a lot of space for a giant file size

Uma demo de Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrate Demo está disponível para Nintendo Switch 2, mas há um problema: o tamanho do arquivo é de 87,9 GB.
Então, sim, esta demo ocupará esse espaço no seu cartão SD em comparação com o jogo completo, que tem 99 GB, ou seja, 12 GB a mais. Acho que a Square-Enix ou a Nintendo deveriam fazer isso para jogos grandes com arquivos enormes. Adicionar um cartão SD separado de 250 GB junto com o jogo e trocar os cartões SD entre si, de forma que o cartão anterior, com todo o software e dados, seja salvo enquanto o outro cartão SD é usado para um jogo que ocupa muito espaço por ter um arquivo gigante.View attachment 136274

MeuMy beloved father, imagine, an SD card is already not enough.

 

[Elwiwi]

That's the full game your downloading what the hell

 

[bjork]

Square imposing square tax on a physical memory card would be a sight to see

 

[Bakuma1997]

I LITERALLY BLINKED! When games became heavier than an entire supercomputer's databate while i blinked?

 

[Zeo]

Imagine download almost 100 GB for a demo.....

[in angry joe voice] 87.9 GB?!?!?!

 

[Zeo]

Most likely they decided to go lazy and just put some data that make the game stop at one point

I wont be surprised if there are news that data miners found the whole game playable by making some edits in the code

You cant tell me that a demo for just one part of the game is almost the same size of the full one

 

[TruxtonTatsujin]

I think I'd rather play Animal Crossing.

[Stare best girl]

well, welcome to unoptimized and uncompressed games, better forget the compression that had Switch 1 games, we're going to live bloated games in Switch 2

 

[ZEGA ZONICZEGA ZONIC's icon]

That's a lot of GB's for a demo.

This person is CRAZY FFVII is junk.

You made the right choice, I really enjoyed FF VIII

Well it's just that
FFVII makes you cry because you feel bad for the characters because of how the story unfolds
FFVIII makes you cry because you feel bad for the characters because of how the story was written

 

[χKai]

A lot of extra space for a game you can't even Yuffie warp in

 

[Stookymalarkey]

It looks like they just included the whole game and just walled the demo from the rest. Why else would a freaking demo take up almost 90 GB!

Can't wait for modders to figure out how to access the full game from the demo

Muito espaço extra para um jogo em que você nem consegue usar o teletransporte da Yuffie.

EThat's very little space for someone who downloads a bunch of weird games to play.

BomHave a great day!

 

[Morgan Katarn]

Can the switch 2 even run it at more than 20-30fps ?

 

[Jeff]

Update: the Demo is not 87.9 GB. It's 7.9-8.0GB. Still, that's huge for a demo.

 

[Zeo]

That makes more sense. Most of the size goes for the models and sound/music

God knows how uncompressed they are since its a demo

 

[DJPlace]

holy fuck balls for the year 2025 jesus that's alot. i recall nintendo doing cloud streaming for the kingdom hearts games.... (i wonder if they still do....)

I cried while plying FFVII because I realized I spent $102.07 (in 9/2025 monies) on this piece
of poop. I was 23 mom and dad weren't springing for my games like in the 2600 days.
EVEN WORSE I bought FF7 instead of Symphony of the Night which is the best game of all time.

Can't remember if they released before or after, but they also tried it for some Resident Evil games.
