lets not move the posts, this is a positive thread and thus far it's involved people not caring about the platform to suddenly start caring when it's clear they don't.

Nah its fine. If people can make valid arguments rather than false or vague claims - then I would agree with them - but so far all I got was games were "defined" for older systems and "Physical discs" are better than digital l0l. I'm surprised they havent said "My favorite gaming platform is the definitive platform" - they might as well say that so we can all move on.

Not sure where you got PS4 and VIta from. Unless the game is redesigned for PC, i.e not a straight port, its not definitive by any means, it still has the limitations of the console it was released on (i.e designed for). Higher Reso and Framerate on a game for the snes isn't anything to write homeabout.

Its simple how I got the PS4 and Vita. Both have Final Fantasy games both physical and digital.

So what?

However none of the games are "defined" using your logic for those two systems since they were ports themselves or re-releases.

I never called them Definitive.

I.e Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD remaster is a remaster of two PS2 games and was remastered originally on the PS3 however were ported over to the PS4 and the Vita. Same with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD - the game was originally designed for the PSP but was remastered for the PS4. All the PSVita titles are digital re-releases of what they had on the PS1 and PSP.

A remaster is not a direct port. A re-release is. If it is a remaster it is taking advantage of the new platform.

Also your posts @ bolded/italic/underlined - is contradicting each other. You say ports have the limitations of the console - if that is the case then higher resolution and framerate would also be limited specifically 720p or 1080p and at 30 FPS which in this case is incorrect - I'm guessing you never played a FF game on PC?

Resolution and framerate are not the only limitations of the game. Having played KH2 on PC with unlocked framerate, I know the difference. It certainly looks better, but the mechanics of the game haven't changed and the same is true for FF. 

Especially since you mentioned higher resolution and framerate for a SNES game when the PC doesnt have any SNES ports - only the Wii, WiiU and 3DS have any ports from Nintendo's old systems. Again, please do research before posting claims as you did.

It's an example. The same applies universally. Wii ports of SNES games are no more definitive than PC ports. 

Definitive =/= Better
