Provenance Record

Well-organized gaming News piece (574 words) that separates the launch facts, the review reception, and the performance analysis, and is careful to attribute the Digital Foundry assessment as reproduced by Notebookcheck rather than first-hand.

All 6 snapshots read from disk (HTTP 200). TechTimes (s2) confirms the June 3 2026 multi-platform launch, the 20% discount through June 10, the two-chapter demo with carryover, the Zack Fair MTG card (Nomura variant art), the Streamlined Progression mode (unlimited HP/MP, Limit Break/ATB, fixed 9,999 damage, simplified weapon abilities, default off), the 125+ perfect scores / 40 GOTY awards, and the simultaneous-Revelation framing. Wikipedia (s0) confirms the trilogy/1997-remake context, the PS5 Feb 29 2024 and Windows Jan 23 2025 dates, and the PS5 (92) / PC (90) Metacritic scores. Metacritic (s1) confirms the Switch 2 score of 86. Notebookcheck (s4) confirms the 30fps target, DLSS, 540p->1080p docked / 576p handheld, and carries the verbatim Digital Foundry quote ('The demanding open-world RPG comes closer to maintaining its 30fps target ...'). Nintendo Life review (s3) confirms the 8/10 and all four review quotes verbatim ('noticeably fuzzy and soft around the edges', 'pop-in is abundant', 'one of the greatest JRPGs of the last several years', 'these ultimately don't detract enough from the game's quality'). Nintendo Life (s5) confirms the Revelation reveal at Summer Game Fest 2026 for a simultaneous spring-2027 launch.

Every quote is verbatim with correct attribution and every figure (86/92/90, 30fps, 540p/1080p/576p, 9,999, 125, 40, the dates) traces to a cited source. The article prudently declines to pin a Switch 2 review count (the sources disagree, 42 vs 47) and flags it as still-changing. Wikipedia is used only for non-controversial background and the comparison scores.
