Final Fantasy X | X-2 Switch 2 Adds 1440p but Barely Improves Over Switch 1

Summary
1440p output and improved texture filtering are the main Switch 2 gains, but the remaster otherwise looks and runs much like the 1080p, 30-fps Switch 1 version.
No save transfer, upgrade path or meaningful feature boost leaves existing owners with little reason to repurchase, especially with both versions still listed on the eShop.
Square Enix is selling the July 23 Switch 2 release at $49.99/£44.99 as a separate product, reinforcing criticism that older RPG ports are being reissued without consumer-friendly upgrade options.
The package still stands out for newcomers because Final Fantasy X and X-2 remain strong RPGs, but the review says buyers would miss little by choosing a discounted version elsewhere.
