I was confused at what exactly looked "off" in Octopath Traveler as I couldn't quite put my finger on it. But seeing it pointed out with the "wobbling" pixel art and how it kind of warps - it makes sense now. I still think that game looks gorgeous, but it's a shame there isn't some sort of interpolation used similar to what they came up with.
The method described in blog I linked in previous post is cheap, so yes it should work fine on Switch.
In gif there didn't seem to be any AA and nearest neighbor filtering.
I am excited to learn something technical, this does not belong here. It's like talking on DF threads, how good or bad games and developers are. Not sure what so hard to understand. Many "logical smart" (don't know better term, since non-native speaker) people are emotionally idiots, that does not mean that they work, that really has nothing to do with their world views, could not be discussed without derailing. What does it brings to discussion of technical stuff?
Jpn devs have literally embraced visible aliasing in the past as evidence of image sharpness, so it's not entirely unlikely Octopath visuals(filtering and all) are intentional, rather than result of some production limitations.
