DQ11 on Switch is extensively reworked, but I wouldn't agree it's a remake. Most of the changes are still the usual techniques like simplifying polygon meshes, lowering texture and shadow resolution, disabling screen space reflections, reigning in draw distance and grass density, etc.

It definitely got a lot more care and effort put into it than most ports, but it is still just that, a port.

As far as how extensively they'll tweak Rebirth, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully they put in the effort to deliver a quality conversion.

It has new content, new story beats, an orchestrated soundtrack, the whole 2D mode with exclusive missions, gameplay tweeks and quality of life stuff.

It may not be strictly a remake, but it's definitely far beyond what any third party port has done on the Switch.

The level of effort put into it was second to none, I agree. I don't expect for example new missions or a new soundtrack when Rebirth is ported to Switch 2.

When I said I hope we see the same level of care, I was more referring to the level of careful reworking of its graphics, where things were carefully trimmed and tuned rather than just slashing the resolution and settings until its a blurry mess, as we saw in a lot of Switch ports of 8th gen games.
