XIV on Switch and Xbox

[Len]

Yes to Xbox One, no to Nintendo Switch.

It should be abundantly clear to anyone that's actually played a Switch that the console is just not powerful enough.

[Maero]

Entirely up to MS, it is not SE, nor Sony holding them back. MS do not play nice with others i guess..
As for the switch, yes it is not powerful enough, it has the power like that of the 360

[Arutan]

Switch limitation.

If FF14 comes to Switch, then what am I supposed to play while waiting in the queue?

[White_Wolf_X]

No to Switch and Don't care to Xbox.

PC master race anyway... =d

I just read that Yoshi is still in talks for the Xbox and SWITCH versions. I'm totally not trolling here but didn't we just get rid of the ps3 for power reasons? Is the switch powerful enough to run XIV decently? Would Nintendo ever give up control to allow XIV to do what it does? Discuss!

I've seen that quote misquoted and amplified on quite a few sites, with a few misleading titles as a result.

Yoshi has been telling the same thing about Xbox One first and now Switch literally for years. Personally, I've stopped asking (even because Yoshi has started to give me "the look" every time I ask), but looks like others haven't learned the lesson just yet.

Here's the thing. PS4 uses PSN for uh...network services such as authentication of users and license checking. PS Plus has zero to do with that. You don't have to be subscribed to PS Plus at all for your PS4 to go online and play games that support online play without PS Plus. PS Plus is a premium service offering that sits on top of PSN. PSN is required for online play, but PS Plus is not. Then again since PSN is 100% completely free gratis, I am left wondering what your rather scattered point really is.

You have to have PS Plus to even play pretty much every single player games (since all of them use coop or server side processing for anti-cheating now) so I'm not sure why it has ever been an issue for them. Maybe because it was not required for PS3? It has been since PS4 so...

Having individual separate servers is the only thing that really matters imo. If they really care about paying for gold then their priorities are asinine as 99% of xbox users already have it and the people that don't aren't playing right now so their sub lapsed.

I'm interested in a Switch but if its less powerful than a PS3, theres no point really for ff14 to come to it, we've already done away with that.

Cause microsoft is greedy, always been. They want xbox users to have gold to play 14, but SE doesn't want to, cause 14 is a sub based game and ect.. Until MS drop the 'need gold to play 14' it won't ever come to xbox. Cause as it stands, cross-play is already in effect by the host (SE) and all they're waiting on is for MS to stop being a baby and grow up.

Yoshi has been in talks with MS for years regarding an Xbox version. In the past though, Microsoft wouldnt change its policy regarding shared servers with Sony, etc.
If MS is willing to change their policy to allow for cross-system server play, then an Xbox version would likely move forward. (Either that or Xbox users would be all on their own, with their own community)

As for switch... this has me worried. We just got rid of PS3 support.. Why do we wanna bog it down again with limited hardware specs like that of the switch?

Since FFXI had cross platform from PS2, Xbox 360 and PC, I couldn't see why we couldn't do this on XIV with the PS4, PC and Xbox One. It was literally done in the past! XD

Does the Switch have the same kind of tech as the PS3?
