FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Vaer]

The graphics chip is pretty weak if those are the actual specs. A GTX1050 (about ~$110card) has 600~700 cores@1354.

FTFY xD

I think the thing is, this is marketed as a home console that you can take with you. It's more like the portable nature of it is secondary, rather than primary.

It's secondary feature might be portable, but unless the dock houses an external GPU it had to be designed around the portable idea. I'd think of it more as a successor to the 3DS rather than a home console to compete with the PS4 or PS4 Pro.

True, I don't know (does anyone?) a lot of info about the Switch yet. I guess I figured the dock would add some more power to it in some fashion. Maybe it works like SLI? *shrug*

According to Switch specs.

Capacity of 4 GB
Bandwidth: 25.6 GB/s


PS4 for comparison
Capacity 8 gigs of RAM
176 GB/s

PS4's RAM is SEVEN times faster. This thing is not even in the same league because it's a handheld.

Its not more if it runs better or not. It is more about if Nintendo's design allows 3rd party to easily work on it. One of Wii U's faults was it's infrastructure was so arbitrary and hard to program that developers did not want to touch it. Nintendo said they built this in the mind that 3rd party can easily develop on it. They can release a PS4 like title, but it may need to be lower in spec to meet the requirements, but it still has the capability to play PS4/X1 games fine.

Both Dragon Quest XI and the new Sonic 2017 game confirmations help show this.

looks like it running skyrim HD so i'm assuming it's just as powerful

that's just an HD to a older game. doesn't mean its just as powerful. which it most likely isn't

Hope they don't support it with XIV. I want the limitations being omitted not compounded. The USA is finally starting to get affordable fast internet. Hopefully with PS3 unsupported this game start getting more aggressive in pushing out dope content. Assuming SE keeps updating their server tech as well.

I don't really like GCD. But if it is going to stay here, I would like to see it get faster with resources being the determiner of controlling skill spam.

I don't see FFXIV being on the NS, but I am always opened to being surprised. They did confirm DQ10: Online for the NS in Japan a while ago. We all should push SE into bringing that game here in some form.

Let's just say...IF...if FFXIV somehow manages to get ported to this...would anyone use it just for crafting and gathering classes?

I wouldn't pick this console up just to play FFXIV on it, but if I had it already I'd sure as heck use it to grind out some non-combat stuff on the go.

Don't even think about it Producer-san!...

Nintendo has always had the cheapest and weakest consoles in the market, comparatively, we don't want another PS3-like limiter so forget about it!...

Actually they have had the superior console graphically up until the Wii. N64's disadvantage was using cartridges and while the GC was more powerful, the PS2 was already established and had a DVD player.
