    By adding Switch support, you would just be adding another set of limitations to the list.
    To be fair, I don't think we're being held back by the PS4 even if that thing is severely outdated, we're still being held back by the PS3.
    Or rather we're being held back by the game being developed for the PS3, a console with less power than a smart fridge, on an incredibly short deadline.
    And whatever they cobbled together back then has been biting them in the back for at least three expansions now.

    All that said, I do agree that we do not need another console with worse hardware than what XIV will already have to account for.
    Certainly not before the more pressing issues are solved. If you would buy a Switch 2 just to play this game on it then don't, there are better handheld alternatives out there that simply run the PC version.
