The game will also be released on PC with probably a little bit better than PS4 graphics.

Yikes at Vita. Switch is acceptable, especially when you consider the portability, but wew that Vita.

Wow, the Vita version looks great! The water is actually blue unlike those other versions. Not surprising that a system named "life" would get the color of water correct.

PS4 - All Shaders
Switch - Less accurate shaders (some volumetric light missing)
Vita - no shading whatsoever

If I had to decide between Vita and switch, I would use the Vita version. Switch is to blurry.

Ouch. Switch looks like what I'd expect Vita to look like. That's a rough looking game.

PS4 it is I guess.

If PS4 is the lead then it is to be expected for Vita to look like this. The hardware is simply to old to still contest these games with a modern lead platform.
Going by the screen, PS4 it is. With PS4 being the lead it doesn't really scale down all that well in my opinion. =x

first screen makes switch version look awful with what's missing from it. second seems fine, just a bad resolution. rest of the screens make switch look passable. not sure why the title screen of all things looks that bad though.

also that last screenshot at the site totally put me off of the game.

As far as I can see it is because they switched from PS3 being the lead to PS4 being the lead. Some newer effects simply scale down pretty badly as the Vita is already quite old. Switch just gets blurry and looses a few effects but Vita is simply old from a hardware view point. The older titles look better in my opinion, even if they are missing newer effects, etc. .

Koei Tecmo and Gust are getting worse and worse at optimization. Jesus christ.

Looking forward to this a ton. Really enjoyed the demo - feels like it's going to be the strongest Atelier in a while.

I wish the previous Atelier games looked better on PC, but both with Sophie and Firis, they really messed up shadows and effects like AO are missing. Sure, you can push arbitrary resolutions, but effects wise, it wasn't on par.

I understand that the previous versions of Vita had a frightful FPS, perhaps they have decided to have something that runs well this time

Strange.
I don't remember Atelier Sophie looking that bad.
What the hell happens to the latest Atelier?

Does Durante have a thing for Atelier games and fixes small stuff if he has time for that? I currently have no information, that is why I am asking.

Not sure if its effort or rather the base being to high to "down port". We probably will never know.

They probably threw it together quickly after they saw all the moaning about Trails of Cold Steel 3 not having a Vita version :P

He's definitely a fan of the series, not sure if he does fixes though

I guess this continues the trend of terrible downports for the Vita. Probably the most disappointing thing in terms of its library, honestly. But maybe this was the easiest way for them to avoid a sub-30 FPS performance, perhaps.

Man, the Vita is far more capable than that (even the PSP would laugh at that water), these down ports are just getting embarrassingly bad now.

They really just need to kill the Vita versions at this point. Firis already looked terrible and ran like absolute shit, I can't even imagine how this one will go.

I'm glad the Switch version seems to look alright. I can't wait to try it out! That Vita version definitely looks rough though... I wonder how much longer Gust will keep supporting it?

99% this will be the last one. They probably just wanted to close out the trilogy on it more than anything else.
