lol dragon quest.

What do you mean "lol" Dragon Quest?

It really depends on Nintendo's online network policy. Are they open to crossplatform play? That is the question.

True, it's up to Nintendo but isn't it free to play online? If so, I don't think Nintendo would mind about it unlike how greedy Microsoft is when they said "no" to SE's cross-platform FFXIV. FFXI was very lucky and PSU is only on Xbox Live without PC and PS2 users.

i guess it would be funny to deal with the nintendo community ....but they would need to create a better console than wii to handle a beast like 2.0 will

I guess that's what the Wii U is for.

No it's a system. I got a chance to mess with it a day ago. The screen is pretty nice.

oh no disrespect to DQ, i'm just saying the AAA title people want for a nintendo platform is Final fantasy

though i'm not too sure, it's just as powerful if not more power as a PS3

Wii U is more powerful console then PS3 and Xbox right now so FFXIV would do 10x better on wii u then it would on ps3. PS3 have memory issue and would not look that great but wii u i bet would look fucking sweet on HD and wont have much issue running ffxiv 2.0.

But when ps4/xbox720 or w/e they call the new xbox the wii u would be less power then them sadly lol that what happen when you release a console so soon. Look at Xbox have shit load of issue at release and ps3 had less issue and was working most of the time without issue. I hoping once ps4 come out the ffxiv would have port over to that and once ps3 hit is limit for ffxiv they just cancel making any new areas for it due to the limit like they did for ps2 in NA for ffxi.

i would not mind having FFXIV in Wii U more players but only if they can make a deal with them.

^ This.

Most people don't even realize how much the PS3 hardware would limit new games.
It is incredibly outdated.

WiiU would be able to run XIV quite well.

This is the best part, it took developers years to even fully harness the power of the PS3 so it will limit games, but not any MMO for years to come and the only way it will limit it is in ways that doesn't truly matter in the long run. "Oh lemme have my flowing cape and seeing thousands of others with it!" How does this affect gameplay? How is this a selling point to an MMO? Consoles usually limit in terms of memory management, which the PS3 has a pretty powerful memory setup even if it's a limited capacity, it's a very solid "small" amount of memory.
