Square Enix scores an own goal: Octopath Traveler Switch 2 ports revive 2 great JRPGs, but with no upgrade path or save data transfer

Square Enix has announced Nintendo Switch 2 Edition versions of two of its beloved RPGs, and it still refuses to offer upgrade paths or cross save.

Square Enix has been one of the best supporters of the Switch 2 so far, with ports of the likes of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth – not to mention Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will be the first mainline title to release on a Nintendo platform on day one since the original Final Fantasy 7 jumped ship to PlayStation. But unfortunately, when it comes to the games that were already on Nintendo Switch, Square Enix really hasn't been the best at treating original users to the cross-generation benefits that have mostly become commonplace in the industry.
