FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Sigma-Astra]

I think you have it backwards. I sincerely doubt Nintendo wants Mario associated with a game that features questionable language, the use of drugs, alcohol (since that keeps getting censored outside of Japan - we all know King Koopa is holding a sake bottle in Mario Kart), prostitution, slavery (Ul'dah's coliseum, if you've forgotten), dismemberment and *gasp* actual death.

As for the topic, bringing FFXIV to the Switch, I couldn't say. I don't have enough technological knowledge of Switch/PS4 to compare and what FFXIV actually needs (and will need if they are planning to update the game's graphics as was hinted for the expansion after Shadowbringers). It's not really so much as bringing a Nintendo console up to Sony's level, it's about making sure it'd meet FFXIV's requirements to run smoothly.

Not necessarily, all they would have to do is ask SE to heavily censor and make a special version for Switch users that's localized and edited enough where all of that is covered with fluffy sprinkles and cotton candy nonsense. And we all know that Nintendo would ask that to be done too. I think you underestimate Nintendo's persistence to have their demands met and SE's love of extra income from other companies as the bait and motivation to allow it.
