FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

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.

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.

That's not a bad idea. XIV also has the added fun of HUD and config files being stored locally. It's not a big issue, but it is a problem when you want to transfer personalization to / from console. I mainly play on PS4 and all of my customization for battle is done there. I also have XIV on my laptop, but conpletely redoing my interface and everything is a serious task, but some minor gameplay functionality (gathering, gardening) will work just fine without reconfiguring everything.

Only if it's not going to be the new low. I'd like our game to be pushed to the fullest PS4 capabilities.

It's basically a portable ps3 so, hope the don't support it.

most of the trouble of the ps3 was tie to the ram inside the console 256MO rams, where the switch it's a 4GB. then who know.

There's no way FFXIV is coming to a platform like Switch, if anything they are beefing up the minimum system reqs for the next expansion so something like this is very unlikely.

I won't even go into the potential issues of the underwhelming Nintendo Network with all its limitations.

At best this will be a glorified pokemon console, if they don't RIP the 3DS then it will fail even at that.

Im sorry Nintendo but i don't really see the point of making a console like this, they could just as well make an iPad peripheral and release games for the ios and call it a day.

how would you even be able to see bosses on that tiny screen...

I'd rather see it remain for the PS4 and PC only. Think about it - the more consoles/handheld devices FFXIV operates on the longer development will take to get everything ready for content patches.
