How is that any different from a raid on the PS4/PC?

It's because they think it's a handheld (^-^)

Well that's where the hype comes from, let's be honest, what does it offer besides that over XB1 or a PS4? Nothing.

It offers Nintendo's exclusive IPs - You know - Mario - Legend of Zelda - Metroid etc etc Which has millions upon millions fans awaiting the newest versions. That hype sells systems (^-^) Do you believe that somehow you speak for every single gamer out there in denouncing Nintendo and it's efforts, because at this point your fanboy is showing and it makes you sound childish - I own multiple PCs - one PS4 - one Xbox One AND every single Nintendo device they have released and I can tell you that you're in the minority when it comes down to people owning several games consoles.


The Switch is coming - Fans of Nintendo's efforts are super excited to finally get a console that is capable of being a home platform AND a portable with the icing on the cake being that we're going to be getting Nintendo's IPs on a system that far rivals the Wii U

Errr, its not only that. I mean ofcourse you can also misclick on keyboard or controller. But there is more to it. For example the connection. We all know playing WLan can make hard times at some point. Or connection loss. I'm not sure if a handheld thing, would be perfect for an MMO which tries to even "revamp" its battlesystem, to make it even more action and we probably will get more skills with 4.0.

Ofcourse you can discuss that Nintendo Switch could bring also positive things, like increasing players who buy the game and sub for FFXIV. But in the other hand, Im not sure.. Most people are already playing on Ps4 or PC. Im not sure if any console from Nintendo is anywhere that populated like the PS is.

I am sorry for that rough explanation and all, but its my opinion and my answer to that 1. post.

I'm partly in favor and partly against it^^,
I think in the end speculation if ffxiv comes to the switch depends heavily on the hardware and as far as I understand it everyone here is still guessing about that. I mean nintendo is not known for awesome hardware in its consoles but the xbox one was released at the end of 2013 same for the PS4, why does it seem so unlikely that a console released three years or more later can actually beat these two in terms of hardware? I mean just look at the rate on which hardware improves i would be highly surprised if the switch gets beaten by PS4 Xbox one (as long as the switch is really not just a Handheld with an extra station for using the TV screen of course).

Overall it depends heavily on what the switch can do and how much player it will attract otherwise it will not be much different from playing on PS4.

... MMO which tries to even "revamp" its battlesystem, to make it even more action and we probably will get more skills with 4.0.

I agree with some of your points, but the devs said they would overhaul the battlesystem to make it less complex and trimm some of the skills (the ones the deem useless whatever that means exactly). So in this regard it would actually not be in the way.
