XIV on Switch and Xbox

[ReplicaX]

I trust in them more than in a sony/pc only fanboy.

There are no alternative facts when the tech specs are public on the T210 and the clock speeds of its Maxwell core. Unless you think Nintendo's own Developer Documentation is false as well.

Notice I didn't mention resolutions, simply because I assumed you would disagree with something as simple as its core specs. Yes, by locking BotW to 30FPS and reducing the resolution for its mobile screen you will get better performance in a single player game and the major focus of battery life. The engine that runs XIV is a completely different animal.

The biggest thing you overlooked in my posts was the fact that SE is porting over DQX to Switch and that will provide useful data if they have XIV in mind. Also the fact that Yoshida himself was also the Chief Planner of DQX before coming to XIV doesn't hurt either.

If any statement is positive about Switch it is this one. Not comparing a dated console that will be dropped next week.

An important factor to consider is that Dragon Quest X is a very different animal from Final Fantasy XIV. It was designed to work on a console as weak as the Wii, and while it got a slight visual improvement recently, it (almost) literally runs on toasters. There is zero doubt that it will run comfortably on the Switch, but I doubt it'll provide much of use for FFXIV, that has entirely different hardware needs.

Especially if Yoshi. P and his team thinks that the switch is capable to play "Bloodstorm" and forwarding expansions. I trust in them more than in a sony/pc only fanboy that is talking fanboy bullshit. "60%+ while being docked" LUL...

Sorry, but the only fanboy I see here is you, considering how you're getting heated at someone arguing that the least powerful console of this generation might not have the juice to run Stormblood comfortably, which is a very realistic outlook, mind you.

You can trust whoever you like, but you're neglecting to consider the fact that Yoshida did not in any shape or form say that the Switch is capable to run the game without issue, nor that Square Enix actually intends to port the game to Switch. All he gave is the standard marketing response "we want to have the game on as many platforms as possible bla bla" which is the same answer he has given about the possibility of an Xbox One port for four years. It's called "keeping the door open" not any sort of specific information.
