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

[ZakarnRosewood]

However two years later, despite the Dreamcasts success in the states, Sega decided to go strictly software after the painful legal battles they had with the creation of the Dreamcast and numerous hardware limitations they've had in the past nobody could blame them.

The biggest reason dreamcast died was you could burn a copy of any game onto any CD and it would play without any mods. after that no one bought games and the rest is history. i hate to say it but i hope nintendo goes the same way and just becomes a game developer or only focus on their handhelds, they are good at those.

no no no, a thousand times NO! if people thought there were compromises for the PS3 version, they would have to almost redesign the whole thing again to run on the Wii U. unless of course they come out with 6 brand new attachments specifically designed to enhance your playing experience for this game and this game only! NOW, for a limited time!

You are forgetting that Yoshi-P said how scaleable this game is with its graphics and UI. He said that he wishes to get this game out on as many platforms as he possibly can to expand the community. Right now the game is #1 priority for the PS3 release, then they will see where else they can release the game on, mainly the X360 and Wii U. Then again, if the game is on the X360, it will be restricted as much just like the PS3 version (memory limitations). But it would do better on the Wii U because it has 1GB of memory or so.

well, as long as they dont have to kill the PC version for the sake of the Wii U then i guess having options is good. maybe its just my bias agains nintendo ever since the 64 came out. havent bought a nintendo console from the 64 and beyond. aside from their hand helds. speaking of which, i hope they make FFXIV for the 3DS! that would be sweet to play this anywhere!

Like this post if you also want FFXIV on the 3DS and/or VITA

What?! Just what? Honestly if you have no knowledge of Wii U specs then honestly why say anything at all? Peace.

Nintendo makes good hardware and unlike the other two companies, they have good business models and practices. Plus they don't sell their hardware at a loss like Sony does. I would own a PlayStation, but I don't like any of the games on their except for Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. The other games just don't interest me.

the buisness model i dont agree with is their damn controllers. they started the standard we see on every other system today with the super nintento controller but since then they have done nothing but "innovate" the controls. it would be like keyboard manufacturers "innovating" the keyboard every few years by completely rearranging the placement of the letters on a keyboard and changing its shape. Click here for an example of what i'm talking about their gimmicky control systems have attracted a few people for a few games for a short period. the Wii especially. and now they are going to have this giant boat of a controller that i can see getting frustrating to continue to hold for an extended period of time (i know my hands get tired holding a PSP for any length of time).

but this is just my personal opinion and i know there are many people who will buy and love this system, and thats their choice. that was why i said it wouldn't be a terrible thing to release it on the Wii U cause it would reach another audience that it might otherwise not. I for one will not even buy a Wii U even though i used to really enjoy the metroid, Zelda, and mario games. its just not my cup of tea. i apologize for my first posting of NO NO NO and retract my initial reaction. I just hope you can respect my choices and reasons just as i respect peoples support of this coming soon to a Wii U near you.

To the people that say the Wii U won't even last till the released of ARR, go try and Pre-order one right now, good luck with that.

Um...dude...that video is from the Onion, which is a parody news site. It ain't real.

I know that, i was trying to prove a point on how stupid it is to change something that is a standard. could you imagine if that was a real gimmick? i know there is a cult following of apple but you have to draw the stupidity line somewhere.
