FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Fellgon]

they would have to dumb the game down soo badly to fit on switch it'd be pathetic.

Plus, how could you ever play on a mmo screen that small. It just wouldn't work.

Its never about size...its about fun. Size dont mather, im pretty sure that in japan are cellphones more powerful than a PC...

Not really, considering the kinds of cellphones we use in the states are about the same as the ones used in Japan and technically, a lot of our electronics and their parts are made overseas.

Cellphones could never be more powerful than a PC at the moment simply because the size of the phone limits to how strong of a processor, graphics, sound, etc can be put into the device without it overheating. A cellphone is made to be compact and mobile and the games made for cellphones are created with that in mind, plus the maximum specs allowed on each brand: Apple, Samsung, etc. Phones can't be upgraded in the same sense as PC's either, so, a PC will always be more powerful than a simple cellphone. By the time the next new phone is out, you can upgrade your PC with something that would be equally better than the specs from last year's phone model.

My Galaxy S9 has a Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810 processor.

Meanwhile, my Macbook Pro has a SSD and a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 as it's processor. I'm pretty sure the Mac eclipses the S9 by far in terms of power. The custom PC desktop sitting in the dining room beats both of them out of the water though.

Also noted, cellphones run on batteries so they have to use power as efficient as possible, meanwhile, a PC will always have a constant access to electricity from being plugged into a wall and therefore able to run more powerfully due to a constant supply of energy. Operating systems designed for computers and laptops are full-featured. They are designed to take advantage of fast CPUs, large amounts of disk space, and high amounts of RAM. Also, they take advantage of the features of modern chipsets that are not available on most mobile devices. PC's usually carry much more storage than cellphones as well, as far as exceeding even one TB now. Cellphones are kept between 8 GB and 64 GB with it built in.

Switch is not weaker than PS3, what are people basing that on?

no.... this shared consol thing needs 2 end between pc, and the main system for game should stay but... ffs should never go 2 xbox or switch

There is no main system for the game. It's available fully on PS4 and PC with very, very minor things unobtainable on a PS4 setting. Those are the main ways to play the game and the game was made in mind for both the PC and PS4 at the same time. You have a very poor and not well-thought out argument.

What doesn't work is the shoddy port they did for Mac's.

Why... would anyone think gaming on a Mac is a good idea? You literally have the 1 option of throwing out the entire computer and buying a new one if any 1 piece of hardware doesn't meet requirements.

To, of course, appease the people who'd complain they were discriminating against Mac even though any true Mac user knows the machines were built for work in mind, not play.

Probably feelings is my guess... but I want right to someone to confirm if Nintendo Switch is WAY more powerful than a PS3 and if it is possible for the Nintendo Switch to have more powerful version the console to where it puts Sony's PS4 Pro to shame...

Or at the very least someone from the dev team to announce something FF14 related for the Nintendo Switch, aside from the stock "there are no plans at this time" answer...

It's somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 times more powerful than a PS3, but the next issue is that the baseline PS4 is about 1.8 times stronger than the Switch. The Pro is about 2.7-2.8 times stronger than the baseline PS4.

For reference: https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/con.../2900-1334/12/

As the game continues to evolve and grow the Switch would become an inhibitor. And what you're asking for Nintendo to do with the Switch is pointless, as it would entail a complete redesign of the console. They'd be better off just making a new console at that point.

IMO looking at Apple's marketing strategy over the past 10 years or so I feel its more like Apple wants games made for Mac to help them sell computers to people that don't know about computers while charging an extra $500 for the Apple logo... >.>

On a side note I did buy Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon on switch and it had a fun surprise of Alpha as a usable buddy dressed in his Ironworks Uniform. :3
