I'm pretty certain it will.

And for more than the extensive Final Fantasy-Nintendo fanservice that's been creeping up lately.

Personally, I think FFXV was very early on an animus for Nintendo to start developing the NX platform. Nintendo naturally wanted it on WiiU, but when Square's earnest feedback said "not possible" and the WiiU platform began to falter, Nintendo made a dedicated effort to provide a platform that could be ported quickly *and* provide the best version of this game. Nintendo knew that if they could accomplish that with FFXV, they could feasibly get any other 3rd party game that's under development at the time for NX.

So naturally as the NX platform emerged, FFXV this whole time has been a sandbox for demonstrating and benchmarking the NX's capability.

This sounds so much like fan fiction roflmao

Sure - it's prognostication :)

However ask yourself. Do you think Nintendo, when developing the NX aspired it to support AAA games like those on PC/PS4/X1? And besides possibly Zelda U, XCX, or whatever Retro Studios is working on, had any titles of their own of that scale to test out those AAA waters? If they asked for help on something like that - who would the most likely turn to? 

If the WiiU scored ports of large-scale AAA games like Arkham City, AC3, and Mass Effect for it's very protracted launch, could the NX as a more thoughtfully laid out platform get a FFXV port? Absolutely. 



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
