FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Hyperia]

And 32 bit operating systems haven't been the standard for a long time.

Yoshi showed that only 1.87% of players use the 32-bit version so they decided to end support.

This allows them to get past a 2gb limit and use as much memory the system has to offer. The 32-bit version can only address 25% of the memory which the PS4 edition can address so it’s a major limitation.

As for the switch, it’s in the same league as the PS3 in terms of power so it’s not gong to happen. We would see a cellphone version before a switch version.

If you are worried about censorship for any of those things you mentioned, you probably should never play an MMO or even use the internet for that matter again. The game is not that erotic unless you stumble in to an in-game role play chat, to which it's easy to remove yourself from that situation anyway, and I think the rest of the stuff you just have a strange imagination.

Uh huh... Western technology maybe since people are still not done upgrading their computers to the latest best system because western gamers either don't have time or money(more often than not both)... not sure about eastern technology that actually is designed for gaming...

You do realize that amd, intel and nvidia are US companies, right? There's not such a thing as "eastern technology designed for gaming". There are not semiconductor producers in the east that somehow are 10 years ahead of their american competitors and can create small chips for mobile platforms that are more powerful than the ps4 for a competitive price (and manage to meet the power consumption and heat requirements of a mobile chip).

I'm seriously starting to wonder whether you're just trolling now...

@Kurrando obviously we are not going to see eye to eye on topic, also just let the ERPers have their fun and do not ban them.


@Lastelli I was referring to how some some eastern countries have more stable internet connection for their MMOs and that was my fault for not being extra specific.


@Driavna I agree with you that censorship is not a good thing because it means we cannot have discussions like this on the forums and what have you.

It wont happen for the same reason its not on XBox One. Exclusivity. This is why you can play FFXIV on PS4 without PS+ if it were to go on to either console and for this youll have to suspend reality for a sec. IF it were to be ported to the switch or xbone then you would NEED PS+ and even then we wouldnt be able to play with people on the other consoles and to that extent pc users.

No idea where you got that from, never said anything about banning anyone. In the end there are potentially worse online games that may require censorship on console, and FFXIV isn't one of them, so that's it really.

Also, I won't be surprised if at some point FFXIV becomes a PC exclusive.

The amount of subs that would be lost because of the high number of console players (especially in the JP home market) would be a terrible business move. Maybe a future FF could be PC exclusive, but definitely not XIV as it stands.

I'm actually against this being on switch. I love my switch BUT I dont think FFXIV would benefit overall. It would be like bringing the PS3 back into the fold. I just dont feel like the Switch has the capabilities in terms of system and memory capacity which was the issue the PS3 had, and to some extent even the PS4. I want to see XIV get better, not go in reverse.

As cool as it would be for a portable FFXIV, I don't see it happening now that the public has an idea what it's capable of. Surprised to see Xenoverse 2 stated for it, but it's a smaller scale game compared to this.

However, that XI remake that's supposedly going to mobile... they could make an upscaled version of that for the Switch.

I think they should do that.

Ps4 pc Mac all x86 based switch is arm... Lots of work to make this happen. It's why switch ports take so long.

Can you give some recent examples of games that have been censored by Sony and what needed to be changed to be accepted by them?

Well Dragon Quest X (popular in JP) was released on several consoles by SE to satisfy their home market, so anyway like I said I don't see an immediate switch from console at this point or any time soon. Perhaps the next generation consoles will change things, but we'll just have to wait and see.
