FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Kosmos992k]

FFXIV can run on the PS Vita via PS4 Remote Play, I would speculate that Switch might not be completely outside the range of possibilities, but Xbox One might be more likely (it's also already in the PS4 performance ballpark and is getting a hardware upgrade.)

Vita runs no game code when using Remote Play, it's just a controller and remote screen, FFXIV doesn't run on the hand held at all.

The new Xbox One, the one meant to be more powerful, will not ship for another 12-13 months.

@kosmos (I've read a bunch of your posts btw) Indeed, it's called "Remote Play" because the game is running on the remote PS4 (I assume it's similar to PlayStation Now.) (Though it might be possible in each case that some rendering is done locally - perhaps someone has some more details on the Remote Play/PS Now protocols?) But I think it's notable that it works in a handheld form factor, and if the Switch offers good enough performance, then why not?

I expect that the existing Xbox One is probably good enough to run FFXIV - iirc the reason FFXIV wasn't on it was some non-performance issue between Microsoft and SE, like wanting separate MS-only servers or something, and FFXV will actually be arriving on Xbox One.
