The new Steam Deck, do you think it will run FFXIV?

[Malia_Chan]

Hey all first time posting in these forums.
I can't really come up with a lot of topics but... I found out today that steam put out a new hardware on their front store, called the steam deck. it looks like a better switch. I assume it can play most or all steam games... so since FFXIV is a steam game, I was wondering if yall think it can run the game? performance wise I'm sure it'll have no problem, I don't know what the GPU is equivalent to, probably weaker than the PS5's, but 16GB DDR5 RAM and between 720p-1080p, 60hz.

If it does run it, I'll consider getting it, the most expensive model cause the cheapest model doesn't have enough hard drive space. If it doesn't run it and only plays a few select games from the library, then I'll probably not bother, it's a pretty cool looking system though so I'm interested in what it can do.

I'd rather have SE focus on releasing FF14 on xbox one or series s/x.

I rather they focus on releasing FF14 on the switch. Keep that toxic xbox trash off our game! :P

You don't have to post on the forums.

It'd be neat if it did. I won't deny that the Steam Deck has me very interested. I'll see how it is reviewed before considering saving up for one, but it looks promising. Even if it can't play FF XIV, if it can play some other games I have (or will have) then it'd be worth it.

I rather it be on an actual box then a under powered handheld. They don't even fully support 1080p :c - the switch-

This younger generation 1080p is a luxury.

1080p has been around for almost 20 years.......

Sorry was making a joke in reference to people asking for modern games to be ported over the switch, even though the hardware of the switch is extremely dated, and how people early on did defend the low res of the switch as higher res is not needed and or a luxury when it comes to handheld gaming. The xbox remark was in reference to how often people like to attribute toxic behavior with another aspect in gaming be it another game or person and ignore the behavior in FFXIV.

I get it was not very funny but I thought it was apparent my mistake.

I'm not in that younger gen tho. I've always said the switch was under powered. Shit the PS4 is under powered. And it was so bad they had to make the pro. Why would I want XIV to be on another system that can't even get up to 1080p? Hint.. I don't.

I've never defended the switch. :/

Never said ya did was just making a statement or joke in reference to some of the common defenses of the switch in the past. Was not a very funny joke I get that but yeah. Overall I agree with ya.

Yeah, the Switch needs a better version, or there needs to be a new system entirely. I think they should have made a better performing Switch instead of making one that has only one up side...it looks better. It doesn't run better, which is what it needed. It did not need an OLED screen. I guess on the plus side, I don't need to upgrade my Switch for awhile. lol
