That's an awful high and mighty tone you're taking, lumping everyone who dares question Square here is an ignorant, entitled dimwit. Square set these expectations up. I'm not expecting Switch versions to be conjured from the ether. But they've had dev kits for a year and a half, possibly longer. UE4 received its Switch compatibility updates twelve months ago. Multiple devs porting either more demanding games - Doom and Wolfenstein 2 are obvious examples given id Tech 6 was never intended for any mobile SOC - or UE4 games either have the games out already or have progress to show. Square has nothing. Going by this statement, it sounds like they haven't even started or barely have. If they had said, hey DQXI is coming in November or Q1 2019 and had some footage or screens to show, a lot of people like me would have been fine. Still would suck but hey. But this? Having fuck all to show after a year and a half with the dev kits and over a year with official Unreal Engine 4 support for it and then telling everyone you basically have done nothing and have not a single picture to show? That's just embarassing. And of course let's forget they set these standards. They've had no issue bringign their other announced games so they clearly aren't sitting on their hands like Capcom. They also announced this game going on 2 years ago for Switch. They reaffirmed it January 2017. If this game was such an insurmountable, herculean task (a hilarious notion but I'll play devil's advocate), they should have kept their darn mouths' shut if they didn't want people to hold them to any kind of standard or accountability.

Well, Square are the ones with the engineers here with internal knowledge so they probably do know what they're doing

Going to stop you right there.
If it's Square's engineers working on this, then I'd say it is clear they do NOT know what they are doing. :P
They've been bungling everything lately.
Enix should get someone more competent like Nintendo, Level 5, or even Chunsoft, for the next game.
