Playerbase would riot if the Switch version got introduced. No chance as people are already calling for baseline PS4 support to be dropped in the next expansion.

Anyone demanding that lacks even a basic understanding of what they're actually asking for :p

Outside of effectively remaking the game (which would run counter to the lessons they learnt from 1.0), FF14's technical base has been set. That's why the PC version's shift from DX9 to DX11 only got us a few extra graphical options, and 4.0 dropping support for an entire generation only resulted in minimal technical changes for the PS4 and PC. All dragging the minimum specs to above the PS4 will accomplish is wiping out the majority of the player base (all PS4 players, and a good chunk of PC players).

Regardless, i'm not saying whether they will or should support the Switch, just that i don't believe it'd effect the game much. FF14's biggest design limitation right now is its server structure, not specs.

 

The developers is urging players to upgrade from a 32bit CPU, to a 64bit CPU. I'm not certain what that will improve but if they come out with a Switch version I will riot.
