FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Lone-wolfe-02]

So it would probably be the same with Nintendo. I swear to God FFXIV fanbase doesn't want the game to expand.

This wouldn't be expanding it would be going backwards.

We just got rid of PS3... why would I want something that would pretty much replace that slot being the new weak console? No thanks.

As much as I love Nintendo, I don't think this would really expand XIV's player base. Nintendo consoles tend to be treated as a 2nd gaming system to PC/PS/XB, for when games like Mario/Zelda/etc are released. It'll be likely if XIV was on the Switch, most players will choose to play XIV on their main gaming system.

i got a GPD Win, which is an actual handheld windows 10 machine. i wouldn't raid on it, but i can do dungeons or potd with stable 30 fps, that's all i need during downtimes at work or in the train.

I didnt know MMO's were meant to run on handheld consoles. It kinda takes away the specialty of playing an MMO on your PC or PS4/Xbox1. I mean, you put on your headphones, run the game.. and enter a completely new world. You want to enjoy the atmosphere of the game in your calm and safe home. And not outside while you are sitting in the train or during work, while everything else is running and rushing around you. It would kinda irritate me.

i like it. i sometimes have 2 or 3 hours of downtime between lessons where i can close the door to my classroom, grab a coffee and play.

I can see the appeal but putting this on the switch would make dropping PS3 support and raising PC required/recommended system spec pointless when your trying to evolve the game >.> But hey,

I would love the idea of FFVIX on the GO... i actually would... it would help me play this game more that is a garantee...

Saying that.. I am sorry... but looking "coldly" at the Nintendo Switch .. for me .. personally .. its just all a bit "too poor" .. This is not the platform YET for us to play handheld PC MMORPGs ... you just cant play there FFXIV, WoW, ESO, GuildWars, Swtor, etc ... its just not viable ..

I really would love it.. but from what Ive seen from the Switch so far.. for the Western market at least... its just going to be a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

I like the switch and what its shown off so far, but i dont see putting ff 14 on it being a good move as it would potentially just replace the ps3 as a bottleneck. Some are being critical of the switch cuz its not a pc in a small box like the other 2 consoles but imo that will be its strength, namely cuz indies will finally have a shot at console development (assuming the switch doesn't fall on its face withing a few months) The HD rumble etc will play well into the creativity indie devs tend to bring to the table and hey it is pretty much a tablet, and mobile gaming and indie development are both growing. That said, the switch is what you play when your not playing on your pc or pc lites XD

Look at all the mobile MMOs on your App Store.
