Are you kidding me? The Wii U has a better graphics card than the X360 and PS3. Plus it has way more memory.

It comes down to production cost and profitability, developing on a new console isn't cheap and they've already put 100-200mil (or more) into this game. 2.0/ps3 launch will have to show them it's profitable, they've already spent so much money on the two versions they've produced if it's not crystal clear that it would be profitable they won't risk it.

If 2.0 is a big success then it comes down to if Nintendo's going to work with them. XI was never ported to the Wii mainly because of it's online service (the friend code thing).



And to those betting against the Wii U... I'm definitely not a fanboy (don't even own a Wii) but the preorders are sold out and I believe they have a Japanese bundle launching with monster hunter 3? It has the chance to have the best console launch in history, or at least in Japan. Anybody who's already calling it a failure has no idea what they're talking about.

This, end of story. its is already planned for PS3 and depending on its success there will determine if it will go to the Xbox and after that they will decide if it will go for the Wii U. nintendo has been proving problematic to port some games because of its unique controllers and specs but i'm not sure how that will be with the Wii U. as well the avarage gamer for PS3 and Xbox are more likely to play an MMO than the audience that nintendo aims for. i'm not opposed, options are always good, i just think this is really low on their priority list right now and is only good for a conversation piece for the forums. ultimately this topic is only an entertaining flight of fancy atm.

Ah, wrong again.

Xbox version was off the table litrally years ago when the discussions ended because Microsoft's new policy regarding no new online games being allowed to communicate with other platforms.

ok, my apologies. i thought i heard some talk at gamescom about xbox but i could be wrong. i'm not perfect. if thats the only bone of contention out of my post then i guess the rest still stands. and its all on my opinion, its the course and thinking that makes the most sense to me.
one questions though, why is it not for the Mac then? if microsoft (owners of windows) dosent want to talk to other platforms, why are they talking to sony's PS3? just confused. is it just xbox's policy and not microsofts policy?

The Technical specifications where also shown and I see it is more powerful than the PS3 or Xbox 360 like some people said it would.
(or at lest more memory then either one) 2GB Total {1GB for games, 1 GB for system software}

I think I remember Yoshi-P saying about "After" they get the game working on the PS3, that they might port the game to other consoles as well. [Correct me if I'm wrong]

Do you believe the game could run on the Wii U?
Do you think Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on the Wii U is a fun idea?
Do you think it could do something cool with the UI with the gamepad?
Should they just stay away from the Wii U?

Mainly, what are your thoughts on the idea? :confused:

I really hope it does come out on the Wii U and I wish people would actually think before shooting down the idea because if it did come to the Wii U that would bring the game more players and that never hurts. Also it would be fitting for Wii U since they are taking a more direct online approach this time around to have a Final Fantasy as an MMO on their console.

The Wii U sells good like it seems.

and on the other hand wii u is a complete new console, which should give FFXIV a longer life on Wii U than on the ps3.

Wii U -> longer support than ps3 -> full hd -> more memory and power -> same number of controller buttons -> touchscreen for chat, inventory etc.


SE should do it.. unfortunatley that wasn't a question at the last live letter...

RUMOR: Straight Right Bringing Major Square Enix Title to Wii U

The missus, poor thing, will be playing this on our PS3. I fear what corners they've cut to make this game run on a machine with 32KB of RAM.

Would like to see it on Wii-U eventually, so we can shelve this bastardized port.
