Final Fantasy XI for Nintendo SWITCH

[Pixela]

From what I gather, the problem isn't converting the game for consoles.

The problem is that all updates have to pay a fee to Sony, nintendo, Microsoft for validation ($40k). This means they will have to pay a monthly fee for that validation for any console they release the game on, or start patching teh game far less (Also if a patch is bugged, the bug can't be fixed for weeks). For PC there is no fee, for PC they can release a patch and if there is a problem release another one the next day.

I don't know if this is still the case or not, but it was and possibly still is. There is also the fact that they sold the rights to mobile for Nexon? and as such they might not be able to do this if it interferes in some way.

The mobile game, if it still exists, is completely different seperate, it wasn't planned to be compatible so I don't think that's relevant. I d on't think the update fees are the same now as they were originally on the previous console generation.
