FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Roth_Trailfinder]

FF Explorers ... didn't get all that far in it, but honestly, it seemed any multiplayer would be like WKC was, and not an MMO.

If you wanted to cite a handheld getting a MMO, apparently the Nintendo Switch is to get the DQ MMO. Go figure.

FF explorers was pretty fun, the only problem was that the online game play was a nightmare. The framerate was so bad even on the 3DS XL.

This alone pretty much dscredit it from ever being taken seriously, handhelds for these type of games are a joke, Those of the type of things you play while on the toilet or miles away from civilization.

Said someone who doesn't play anything on the 3DS, I assume.

I did play the 3ds, which is why i don't like them, i do not like handhelds, sorry if that offended you. i like to play on actual, real consoles. and yes, they are usually only good for wasting time, not the type of time wasting when you play games but literal there is nothing else, and playing this handheld is better then staring at the ground type. cause that was the only time i played them.

Trust me, if handhelds started getting serious and really popular games, gaming won't last much longer.

But my hidden point stands, this will never happen, because SE knows better.

real consoles.

Hate to break it to you but handhelds are real consoles and have games with much much much much MUCH better writing and stories than your typical hollywood blockbuster crap that comes out every 6 months. Limitation breeds creativity, remember that.

We all love opinions, and you're entitled to yours, and here is mine: They are no where near Better in story, Not even close, that is assuming you can actually find many good games on those peices of crap. i hate to break it to YOU but they are not real consoles, they are as much a real console as a zircon is a real diamond.

Not to mention that fact you are comparing handheld stories to only this game kind of tells me that you don't actually play any console games much to know why your statment is pretty laughable.

Yet right now in the current gaming market, mobile games yield the highest sales. Go look at summoner's war, brave frontier. Why do you think companies like SE,Nintendo,Sega are venture into the mobile market now? Almost all the mobile games are there have average story, Poor multiplayer(you're always against a AI) and gacha intensive. But still people still play them.

That is mainly because people are on the go, which i already stated is why you play handhelds many people even consider koonami dead because they mistakely think mobile gaming is the future.

Yes, people play them, they are portable games. but compared to what will actually work in the end, they will fail. what i mean by that is, as this topic is aimed towards, you will never see a game like this, or cod or dark souls, etc, popular games like those, ever on handhelds, most games require multiplayer to stay alive long, and since handhelds lack those, they won't get very far in the long run, you'll just deal with C rate games and other things to keep people on their way to work, school and traveling busy.

Mobile devices of old paved the way for the multi-billion dollar industry it is now... I think it's around 500 billion. Gameboys, TI Calculators, PalmPilots, Tiger Electronics, etc were all devices that gained popularity and moved companies into the tech we use. Gaming will always last. The only reason that it hasn't hit mobile exclusively is the fact that handheld devices aren't capable of providing the same power that our consoles/computers can for any given era, and probably never will. I mean, keep in mind where we are today and where we were just 20-30 years ago.

Do you really think we'd have thought performance capabilities of smartphones, PS Vita, and the 3DS would be where we are technologically? The last two are aged tech! Hell, the idea of playing top of the line console games in the past, like SNES games, on mobile devices seemed too grand of an idea to do. I get why you don't care for handhelds, but to think gaming wouldn't last just because of a theoretical shift to handhelds would happen is ignorant. Part of the reason traditional consoles even exist still is because of the niche appeal (and cost effective market) behind it. It's more fun to play certain games on consoles rather than PC (for me) because of the perception we have of it. If it weren't, we'd be using laptops for all mobile gaming that is too intense for phones.

The 3DS actually have good games, but the idea that it could play ffxiv isn't a far fetched idea, this game is more than 3 years old and within the past years the capabilities of gaming devices are rapidly advancing. While nintendo isn't known for having specs on par with Sony consoles the nintendo switch has Nvidia's technology, I wouldn't say it is entirely impossible, Skyrim was in the trailer if you hadn't notice. I mean if it can be portable.. why not? I could always just login on the go if something requires my attention.

Explorers is built similarly to Monster Hunter. It uses a similar set-up for multi-player as they do.

please, make this happen................. yoshi plz

Do you have the console so that you want it to be released on it?

What's the point of asking for it when:

- The console isn't even out yet
- No specs were released
- It's already available on PC, PS4 and PS3

It will only come to the Switch IF the console sales are high enough to take the effort to port it.

But that means, more resources spent on porting the game to a new platform and less resources making the actual game better, remember that.
