    They did allow XI to be played with a Silver (free) account. But that was likely their desperation of attracting the Japanese market at play, and won't happen again now that they realized they probably won't be getting into said market very easily.

    Netflix can be used without a gold account, at least on the 360 now. I haven't tried to use it on the Xbox One without being signed in yet but I have used it on my 360 without ever signing in to any profile.

    Unlike XI era, I'm pretty sure at the point where PS4 "No Good" the PS5 will be out and everyone will just switch from PS4 -> PS5 slowly just like we did with PS3->PS4 this couple of pass years. I really really doubt the Yoshi or SE will quit on PS community agen.
    Only if the game still in healthy shape like right now.

Whilst the switch undoubtedly can’t match the powerpc cpu of the PS3, its GPU is significantly more modern whilst having 4gb of unified memory puts it at a huge advantage for asset heavy titles like this.
    TLDR = Significantly more ram, somewhat more capable GPU, weaker CPU.

    All in all I suspect it'd deliver similar overall performance to a PS3 but be massively easier to shoehorn the game into vs the PS3's 256mb+256mb XDR ram arrangement. In a dreamworld, SE would be allowed to leverage Tegra's hardware encode/decode for a gamestream style setup essentially offloading the work to a companion PC. I'd be utterly shocked if Nintendo allowed that tho =(

    No, the Switch is more powerful than PS3, an example would be how much smoother Skyrim runs on Switch compared to how Skyrim on PS3. Its slower than PS4/Xbox One but at the same time its a much more modern platform than the PS3 is.

    Why would they drop PS3 support due to that lacking power, only to put it onto the Switch???
    It makes no sense lol. Xbox One S/X I have no issues with though. But a big NOPE to bring it to Switch no matter how popular that system is.

    Well unfortunately this may sound bad but FFXIV doesn't need more subs or platforms until they fix the many issues with the current games population like housing, storage, bloated servers and many more issues....just imagine every server like balmung and Gilgamesh.

    We will be reliving the release of storm blood all over again for much longer so my vote is no to the idea until SE gets their ish together
