It will effect my experience. Final Fantasy XIV is patched regularly, and Square Enix needs those patches to go live on every platform at the same time. Microsoft and Nintendo both have different weird policies, and I don't want the dev team to devote resources that would potentially cause delays. Plus, I don't see FFXIV on the go being a thing. There is just to many variables to worry about. wifi connection, storage space, and don't even try to play without a keyboard.. Besides, I think Switch will have frame rate issues, and object pop-in/outs. Better to just focus on more content and features. |
That's a really odd argument. Yes, more versions require more resources, but they also generate more resources. That's the entire point :p
As i said in the comment you originally replied to, i'm not saying whether SE will or should support a Switch version. I do, however, see no technical reason why it'd hold back the PS4 or PC version. It would definitely require graphical compromises on the Switch, and there's a debate to be had about how they should handle certain aspects of the Switch's different circumstances, but none of that is inherently negative for other platforms. It could potentially be a good thing if it leads to continued growth for the game. In the absence of any inherent negative, i'll personally wait and see if anything bad actually happens before i get angry.
