Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on Wii U? Possibility?

[Alhanelem]

Well that's pretty cool, I'm suprised you could get responses like that out of AMD tech support about a device that isn't even released yet. Buuut, what's the relevance to the topic?

I have a radeon 4850 and I can run the current version just fine. The Wii U having anything after that just tells me it would be more than capable of ARR.

Wii U is slightly more powerful than ps3 so it's only up to SE's level of commitment if they want this game to have more players or not.

Xbox is out because Microsoft doesn't like monthly fees to other companies or for their user-base to play with other platform owners. I'm never subbing gold again.

...

Do you believe the game could run on the Wii U?
Do you think Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on the Wii U is a fun idea?
Do you think it could do something cool with the UI with the gamepad?
Should they just stay away from the Wii U?

...

1) If Nintendo could build a handheld system with a 3D capabilities(w/o the use of glasses), it's very possible.
2) Maybe not for the some but yeah, for many!
3) Features could be customizable to view on the gamepad but invisible on the actual monitor, depends on their approach.
4) Staying away from Nintendo wouldn't be in their best interest, being that it could recieve the worse press ever and challenge SE to port MMOs for other systems. If FFXIV can't be played on WiiU, it won't playable at all.

Porting an MMORPG as sophisticated as FFXIV:ARR for WiiU would open more doors, broaden an audience for SE and demonstrate technological advances in the industry.

I may be speaking out on a whim here but SE and Nintendo can work together with this.

I dunno if the Wii U can really kill Nintendo's home console. But anythings possible, Dreamcast was actually a pretty solid system with more going for it then the Wii U looks to have, and it still killed Sega's home console dreams.

While I don't "want" to see Nintendo fail I do hope they finally get a wake up call about it's direction like XIV did for SE.

Actually, Dreamcast failed because it said "Sega" on it. It never got the chance it deserved.

On topic: I don't like the WiiU. The tablet just complicates things. MMOs are complicated enough already.

I have to say, even if it was, I'm fine with the PC or PS3 version. Wii U = {No thanks.}

and for what reason? ;XD

The Wii U will be nintendos downfall. Like what was sai above it wont be around long enough for it to matter. Why are they calling this a console anyway?

Well a console in old days didnt compete with pc when it comes to graphics and the price itself. this is since MS and Sony are competing.

a console does not need highend graphics. and i think it would be great for FFXIV the morenew players it could potentially attract-
and wont be around long enough for it to matter? how long do you think the PS3 will last? 1-2 years till the PS4 comes out??


sorry.. ridiculous arguments


besides that i think the WiiU is much better than the wii. because it uses a more classic gamepad control combined with a tablet and streaming technology (from pc to tablet and the way around) i think the Wii U will do well.

it has the exact same number of buttons like the ps3 controller (4 shoulder buttons etc.) + touchscreen function.

On topic: I don't like the WiiU. The tablet just complicates things. MMOs are complicated enough already.

eh more complicated? same number of buttons it has.. + touch screen.. the touchscreen could be used to drag and drop items like in the PC version, to select targets... or to chat with people..
you could stream the game onto your tablet to play (craft) while watching TV..

i hate the fact that i cant watch television while playing on a console. with a Wii U you can.. like with a PC. i think its assum.

right it "complicates" it.. i rather would say it would be just more perfect than a ps3 controller for an MMO.

[Alhanelem]

tablet complicates things? I'd say it simplifies them. It wouldn't necessarily have to utilize the gamepad in any special way, either. You could also use the Wii U Pro controller, which is more like an xbox controller.

Are you sure you're not just not liking the Wii U because of the name or because it's Nintendo?

well if the wiiu is a 67xx then it's more than enough to run FFXIV, and unlike xbox people don't need "live" to play it. I think it would be a smart move for SE, only thing is other than the PS3 release, if it'll stop DQX sales or whatnot.

People said the same with the DS.

"It's over Nintendo is finished". *2 years after* "It prints money!*

+ the Wii U is in the very beginning of its console live. the PS3 era almost is coming to an end slowly.

it would definatley bring some fresh wind to FFXIV if the Wii U is going to be successfull.

the major difference:

PS3 and Xbox360 are out since several years.. PS4 and Xbox720 coming in 1-2 years

Wii U released this winter..

see the difference?


and you could also say the wii U start would fit perfectly with the start of FFXIV ARR

They could even cross promote it with dqx and give sub discounts for playing both.
