Final Fantasy XI for Nintendo SWITCH

[bungiefanNA]

Hello,

As i did in past with "New 3DS" version here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...w-Nintendo-3DS

I thought about the same thing for Nintendo SWITCH and I did it on my Photoshop, it could be so cool and boost ffxi community don't you think?

Amiibo could pop exclusive Trusts

It's not likely to happen.

Is there talk of a PS3 version of Final Fantasy XI in the works?
If we were to start developing a PS3 version now, it would likely take about 5 years to complete. By then PS4 would be out and there would be talk of a PS5 before we could release it. It would be too much work, so we have no plans to create such a version. The PS3 can play the PS2 version, though.

They estimated 5 years, back in 2007 when they had full development staff on the game, to port it to a new platform. It's such an old game, a new release isn't likely to attract enough new players. Nintendo also does not seem to be receptive to cross platform play with competitors, and trying to get new players going in a game with people with a 15 year head start is tough.

There are ( unsubstantiated) rumors that they're in talks to put FFXIV on the Switch, though (it would certainly be way more playable than PS Vita ended up being). That 5 year estimate seems a bit off the wall though. How long was FFXI in development before the first players got their hands on it?

It's kind of a Duke Nukem Forever effect. That game took so long to come out because they kept switching engine tech. They'd develop the game, and then new tech would come out and they'd be like oh we have to switch to this and then the next thing would come along and rinse/repeat. Eventually you have to commit to something or you are in development or planning phase perpetually.
