YoshP said they would consider a port of this back in late 2015 /early 2016 of FFXIV.

So if true, FFXIV on the go with good graphics?

I find it cute but I don't see how you can enjoy a MMO on this tiny screen, imagine a tank on one of the biiiiiiig boss we have like cloud of darkness for example oO

Well since they dropped PS3 support, it would depend on if the Switch can handle the game.

It looks nice for my much loved Pokémon games but how does it compare to the new PS4 Pro and Microsoft's equivalent!?...

This console would just hinder FFXIV if it's not on par with the other consoles!...

Sigh... I would have thought Nintendo would have learned their lesson by now. I understand they want to be different but atleast bring consoles with good specs this isn't even as powerful as a ps4/xbone whats the point nintendo we might as well help you dig your grave

It's an mmo so even on a handheld you are limited to where you can get wifi. It would also be a struggle playing such an interface heavy game on such a small screen.

it doesn't even have HDD

To be fair SD cards are cheap and have a lot of storage space nowdays.

You can put Switch in a docking station and then it works just like your PC or console would via wifi and hdmi signal on your TV. I don't see a problem here. Of course, if you want to play online games on the go, you need to make sure to have an internet connection. But you can play as shown in the trailer, on your normal TV screen.
