No Switch version yet makes sense, it hasn't even come out on Japan guys.

People are surprised it's taking so long to come out in Japan.
Square Enix first talked about interest in a Switch (NX) version in July 2015.

If it releases in 2019, that's around 4 years after they first mentioned the Switch version, and 2 years after the PS4 and 3DS versions released in Japan.
If the "much later" comment is accurate, it may be late 2019, or even 2020. Kinda crazy.
We still haven't seen a screenshot for it.

Lol, why'd Square talk about a Switch version in 2016 if they knew it was going to take more time to release. It'll be late 2019 or early 2020 by the looks of it. Going with the Steam version then. And no 3DS version? Square just wants Nintendo to publish it for them as usual, man they're cheap.

I believe SE first officially announced it for Switch in 2016, but they talked about interest in a Switch version in July 2015.

I don't think anyone expected it to take this long. And we still haven't even seen a screenshot of the Switch version.

Maybe the Switch version is going to be completely different, just like how the 3DS version differs from the PS4 version.

I think most of us had expected the switch port to be in active development for a while by the time they announced it with the other versions. It's becoming increasingly clear that it probably wasn't.
