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

[Kiote]

PC Gamers are far too closed minded..

I think it is pretty safe to say, any time you have a guaranteed 60 million, potentially 100 million, player base, you go for it.

The cost of porting/supporting software for new platforms is far cheaper than initial development and will do nothing but generate additional revenue.

A Console will not bottleneck a scaleable game. PC will get better graphics over time and Consoles would stay the same.

Not to rag on the Wii U, but anyone really saying that the Wii U, PS3, or any console for that matter would eventually be a bottleneck for FFXIV or any other game out there is fooling themselves. In terms of control interface, you just can't have the same level of control with a gamepad that you can with a keyboard/mouse unless the devs allow for it on a console port of a game(why they never do I'll never know). Plus, you can use any number of interface devices on a PC if that's your fancy.

Of course there's also the simple matter of processing power. Sure you can say that a game console might use its code and RAM more effectively than a PC simply due to a lack of an OS and other things, but that won't matter for shit if I can build a quad-core machine with 8 gigs of RAM with a current mid-range to high-end graphics card. Then of course there's the ability to upgrade down the line. Worried about having to be glued to a monitor? You don't have to be. Just hook it up to your TV in the living room or wherever. The sky's the limit.

Consoles are fine and have their strengths(mostly just the exclusive software), but to ever doubt that they hinder anything or that PCs are lesser for whatever reason is quite an ignorant statement indeed, and seriously, building PCs is pretty damned easy nowadays compared to when I started. It's literally just like playing with LEGO.

It's really up to SE on weather or not a console holds back development of the game. For the longest time they refused to provide any kind of improvements to the PC version of FFXI becasue they couldn't do it on PS2 and cited PS2 limitations on why they couldn't implement something. They had the viewpoint that it just wouldn't be fair to PS2 players if PC players got something and the PS2 players were stuck with the old version. Like a new UI, more inventory, higher quality graphics, better macros ect.

Later they changed their views and started releasing some updates that benefited the PC version only and working on new UI for PC only.

yes and its illegal if he does not own the copy, and do you know how long it took dolphin to run wii games without issues?
so no pc does not have mario or zelda

wut??????? So dumb, Anyways moving on...

Games run better on PC, have a much higher ceiling for hardware specs and that means developers can give us a richer/better game in the end (and expansions). If you want to be held back then play your 1980s games on your consoles, I'll play them on my smart phone/PC with the rest of the smart people.

Well he's right. Distribution and download of Gamecube/Wii ISO's aren't exactly legal.

the thread was about why we should or shouldn't put the game on another console, not if pc's have the games mario and zelda.

illegally,


we're debating if FFXIV can be done for wii u, which it can and something nitty fans have been waiting for. A legit Final Fantasy for a nintendo console.

You can stick back that where it came from. Close minded gamers are close minded, and they are prevalent everywhere regardless of the platform.

yes like in the good old days of NES

My thing is this, why so much hate on nintendo? I mean geez when i read about how they sold very well this week, I saw nothing but hate. It's like us the FFXIV community, we get so much hate from the outside world but we still defend this game and still be critical of it.

I mean with they say nintendo is gimmicky but all the rest of the major consoles went motion controls, hell even N64 had the stick before anyone and gamecube had the click buttons that was also copied. I mean alot of these "hardcores" have grown up on Nintendo games. I'm a hardcore zelda/nintendo fan, and i love FF, so as it should i want it to go to a nintendo console.

Well stop trying to ruin this game then... Wait for FF15 or 16 or w/e that is going to be made exclusively for consoles...
