FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Bladesinger]

Pls don't. The Switch isn't very powerful and it will restrict the extent this game can be developed. No thanks! Put other FFs on the Switch instead, like FF10/10-2 HD.

And again, misinformation from people who have no clue what exactly is powering the Switch outside the slip about an X1 or X2 Pascal powering it: Produce the CONCRETE specs or stop spreading misinformation - Current sources from the chinese factories producing consumer models have that chip at XB1 levels and is WAY more then capable of handling FFXIV - Hell, I can run FFXIV on a 14 yo toaster and still manage 45 fps with near maxed graphics @ 1080p =\

It's not that demanding a game =\

For some reason, I'm doubting its a toaster or that its 14 years old if you are getting that performance.

It'd be running DDR memory, not even DDR2 lol And a Pentium 4? PCI express GPU's werent even a thing 14 years ago. I'm currently sitting at 1.2gigs vram usage, and the first GPU with 1gig vram came out in 2006 lol.

2003 - paid well over 2k+ for a computer with DDR2 ram an Asus motherboard and some crap video card - Fast forward to now, only piece I've upgraded on it is the Video card (450 GTS) - so yes, it's 14+ years old and finally being replaced in the next few weeks with something that will get stretched out over the course of another 10+ years (^-^)

Edit: Replaced operating systems too (^-^)

Remember, 4.0 has an increase in system requirements. Most are probably thinking in the here and now only.

Putting the Switch aside, expect that "increase in system requirements" to be a Intel Core i3 instead of today's Core 2 Duo in the minimum requirements.
They are not going to put the requirements at today's top standards, that's for sure.

Totally ready for it but thanks for the warning - Poor thing has served me well and was money very well spent (^-^)

As cool as it would be for a portable FFXIV, I don't see it happening now that the public has an idea what it's capable of. Surprised to see Xenoverse 2 stated for it, but it's a smaller scale game compared to this.

However, that XI remake that's supposedly going to mobile... they could make an upscaled version of that for the Switch.

DX9 or 11? Either way I doubt that as a PS4 is stronger but runs at... about medium or so? Your PC is roughly on par with the PS3, maybe a bit more powerful. My somewhat recent laptop struggles to keep 45 on 1080p. The CPU would be the likely bottleneck either way (this game is more taxing on it and doesn't seem to be threaded that well).

As for running it on a tablet? I don't see it happening with how the game is now without a serious re-write which would split the playerbase.

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

PS4 + PSVITA = Remote play {You Can Have This}

FF XIV already suffered enough because of PS3, i don't want it to suffer again because of Nintendo Switch.
