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

[Abriael]

Having actually tested the Wii U extensively (differently from those that say that "it won't last" just because they prefer another system) I can easily say "why not?". It lacks nothing in terms of power, and launch games match performance of equivalents on other systems or even slightly outperform them, so there's absolutely no reason to exclude a potential platform (and potential sales) out of fanboyism.

It was already said they want to deliver on the promise to have a PS3 version, then they will look at other platforms, Yoshi-P knows of this request and he wants to allow as many players as possible to play but a PS3 version takes priority because it has been promised.

I think a higher priority should be the handhelds.

Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed loads much faster than on the X360, but I haven't heard about the PS3 version yet. The Wii U version loads at 11 seconds while X360 is 26 or 27 seconds. I believe it's due to the disc drive and the RAM.

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

DQ is a Square AAA Title, just because it's not as popular as FF outside of Japan doesn't make it less worthy of that title.

Pretty sure he just means demand isn't as strong.

Which is abhorrent.

Final Fantasy XIV on the Wii U a possibility?

I think we just made it a reality.

"Wii U: 12.8gb/s, separate eDRAM pool
360: 22.4 GB/s, eDRAM for framebuffer
PS3: 25.6 GB/s main memory BW, 22.4 GB/s graphics memory BW, no eDRAM
GTX 680: 192.2 GB/s

PCPer did a teardown. Great stuff... they actually read off the RAM chip (SMRT!). There's only 4 chips.

Samsung K4W4G1646B -> DDR3 4Gbit, 1.5V, 800/933/1066 speed bins -> I'm pretty sure that means "DDR3-1600/1866/2133" data rate.

256Mx16 would imply 16-bit I/O per DRAM... So... 17GB/s at most for main memory bandwidth. They didn't mention the rest of the numbers on the DRAM, but they ought to have high res photos later."

The eDRAM/VRAM better be very fast to compensate for the Wii U. I'm not to impressed yet.
