Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on Wii U? Possibility?

[Venat]

it was the same for PS2 Owners if you remember that.

but you are right.
and i think the hard drive's space just sucks on the Wii U.. i cant even understand how Nintendo can sell a console with 8 GB... its just ridiculous. even if they try to support their e-store..
but obviously.. they can...

they saved their money in the wrong place.. my opinion. its a torture for all Wii U owners.. when you just can download 1-2 games even with the pro edition and thats it.. thats a fucking joke ;D

32 GB should have been at least the hard disk drive for the standard edition.. and not 8 GB.... ;XD



are you one of these kids? ;XD Zelda is not only for kids.. my opinion.

many people use the wii u as party console... adult people.. believe it or not.

And games like Zombie U, Assassins CReed, Batman Arkham, CoD are for kids also? ...: *iek*

Its still a system aimed for kids doesn't mean they have titles only just for them. Zelda still aimed for kids but its still a good game for all ages. Rest of those titles already are played by young kids nowadays. Mommy and Daddy and Grandma buy Wii,gamecube,wii u for there kids. If your even playing ffxiv right now and on the forums im sure you own every top system in the market right now or dont need to cus you think PC is better.

Its most likely it can run on it. Question is.... do we want kids to play this game? Nintendo all about friend codes and what not so its probably not gonna happen. None of the hardcore player base will be on the Wii U, just kids under 14 mainly.

Aiming for Wii U wouldn't work in ffxiv favor because Wii U is aimed for kids and many kids don't play MMO's.

Wii U does not have friend codes. Neither did the only semi-MMO-ish game on the Wii, Monster Hunter Tri. Instead, it has Nintendo Network, which is more like Playstation Network or XBL. You have a username and password, and you can become friends with anybody without sharing a code or anything else.

Wii U is not aimed at kids. It's aimed at all audiences. Tell me? Is Zombi U for kids? Assassin's creed 3? Bayonetta 2? Why do people keep saying it's for kids when they haven't even looked at the games that are available?

Also, FFXIV needs players. Until it gets more established post ARR release, I wouldn't be picky and choosy about its clientele.

Mommies and Daddies buy xboxes and playstations too. Please, stop stereotyping nintendo as only being for kids. Yes, Nintendo did have a lot of censoring violence and stuff in its past, but that's all gone now. The Wii only had like 2 or 3 M rated titles its entire existence. Wii U has more than that in it's LAUNCH LIBRARY. It's blatently obvious they are trying to appeal to more audiences now. If hell froze over and the Halo franchise moved to Nintendo, you'd probably still be saying this.

My friend bought a Wii U and he said he couldn't download Tekken Tag 2 off the store because it took up 17gb. It was either get a 32 gig, or buy an external hard drive.

Any MMO such as Dragon Quest X prob will require the 32gb or an external hard drive. Its kind of bad when you make someone buy an accessory just to play your game.

Um, hello? how about just buying the hard copy? you dont need to isntall anything than. At least with a normal game, dont know abput DQX.

The internal storage is mainly for small games like virtual console or the hopeful GC games in the future.
WiiU actually uses a kind of BluRay disc that has 25GB storage. So you really cant expect much from 32 GB with that anyways. Anything bigger would probably take a HDD and make the console more expensive. Besides who doesnt have a storage device like an external HDD or usb stick 32Gb+.

I seriously dont see why people are complaining.
You dont need to download retail games or install anything from them (beside saves)

I am fine with the 32GB, i dont think nintendo intended the internal space for retail gamse beside the small ones like SMBWU. Many prefer hard copys over digital anyways and you dont rly have any advantage with a digital version.
Besides srsly who doesnt have an external HDD these days.

There is advantages and disadvantages to digital copies. But these days some people prefer a digital copy over a physical one.

Advantages
1. Don't have to go to a store or get it shipped to you.
2. You can buy the game download it and play right away.
3. Faster loading. The game loading from the internal memory or hard drive is much faster then loading from optical drive.
4. No need to change discs pick your games from the menu.

Disadvantages.
1. Linked to 1 system, so can't share with friends.
2. No box or instructions
3. Takes up storage space on your hdd.
4. Can not resell the game or trade it in if you get bored of it.

I personally don't see why people are bashing Nintendo. Their games are fun and didn't PS3 outright COPY the WII with PS move anyways?

Lets look at evidence PS3 fanboys, shall we?

Nintendo released its controller for the Wii, Sony scrapped their boomerang-like controller and put a motion censor in their OLD controller. Then PS move? You can not say anything about Nintendo's choices as a Sony fan when Sony outright copied exactly what they did.

Now, I don't own a Wii or a Wii U. But I do respect Nintendo as a gamer for everything they did for home gaming. They are after all the only console developer actually trying to change how games are played. Also you can use a traditional controller for the Wii U.

As for kids games? I didn't know games like Assassin's creed 3 and Darksiders 2 were made for kids. Mario has always been cartoon-like but still fun to play once in a while. Zelda is still a series that is fun for everyone to play. I'm sorry but games like call of duty are crap, its just the same recycled trash over and over and over again... Oh wait, black ops 2 is on Wii U as well..

If you check the history of video games, several old consoles released very crappy games that almost killed home-gaming all together back in the 80s .Then Nintendo came along with their Seal of Approval and refused to let those bad games get released which is when we got the timeless classics. Zelda, Mario... FINAL FANTASY which was squaresoft's(at the time) last ditch effort at a successful video game and succeeded.

If Nintendo didn't exist, we may not even have home gaming, if we did it wouldn't be as big as it is.

Didn't Microsoft already answer to SE in this manner?
At least that's what i read somewhere...

It's not gonna happen on 360 at this point, but Yoshida has stated this new engine is scalable and I wouldn't be surprised to see it ported (maybe when the first or second expansion comes out) to whatever MS's new console is.

It be nice to see touch screen options.

for the touchscreen i'd think of switching between the inventory per drag and drop.. or using the chat.. the map etc.

that'd be perfect on the wii u controller.

it might be my personal opinion but i dont think the advantages outwight the disatvantages.

1.Sure you may save some time and money if you have to drive to a store, but downloading sometimes takes awhile depending on your connection.

2.You can buy the game install it and play it right away, not so different from downloading and installing it.

3.This is not always the case, it can load faster on some games and depends on severel factors.

4. a relativ useless feature, to me at least. its more of a luxury.

my biggest issue with downloadable games is the price policy. since publisher dont want to anger retailer an cause a boycott, prices are more than often even higher. This is utter nonesense to me since you cant resell the digital copie and the value of digital should not be higher than a hard copy. i would support digital distribution if there was a resell value or the price policy was more in favor of the consumer.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, Aliens, Assassin's Creed III, ZombiU, and such say hi. And the Wii U does not use Friend Codes anymore. I'd advise you to do some more research on this new system before making such blatant claims.
