FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Lastelli]

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.

Well, Nintendo changed a lot in the last few years. We now have brands like bayonetta, and some recent games (arms and even botw) are clearly trying to cater to a more adult and /or "naughty" audience.

That's not the problem though, since ffxiv has very low chances of being ported to the switch in the first place for obvious technical reasons.

One thing to consider is that if a switch version is released, it needs to be playable in both docked and portable mode. I don't think that some content in the game (like eureka and 24-man raids) can run on the switch in portable mode, not even if everything is severely downgraded until it looks like a ps1 game. We don't even know if the luminous engine is compatible with the console.

Another important thing: if ffxiv is released on the switch, it means that future expansions should be developed for the switch too. This means ZERO room for technical improvement for the next 4 years at the very least.

I feel like people wishing for a switch port don't really care about the game and only care about the console.
