Like I said, I'm a realist. 

No. You are not. You adhere to a negative conclusion you built and dismiss any arguments that aren't as negative as yours. 

"It can only be incompetence" isn't a realistic statement. It's your emotional reaction to what is going on with that version of the game, which I assume is the version you were looking forward to. You know nothing about the actual state of the game other than what's said in the statement included in the OP, yet the only conclusion you come up with is that the studio is incompetent, don't know what they're doing, etc. You don't know what is going on there. You have no idea what the problems are, if there are problems, or if it's a matter of prioritizing a version over another before tackling the porting process.  Nope, you argue over something you have next to no info on and only have a negative outlook on it.

Sorry, but you are a pessimist, not a realist. 

Jokes on you cause I'm not even a Dragon Quest fan and don't even know if I will buy it.  I do know enough about working with UE4 to say that the statement reflects that they've essentially done nothing on the Switch version.  And it could be many kinds of incompetence at play.  Developer incompetence actually is least likely for Square.  Managerial incompetence is a Square staple though and I could absolutely see that.  And then there's incompetence at the business level, inefficient mismanaging funds, another Square staple with their obscene budgets, constant delays, corporate meddling.  

And I know that numerous other developers facing objectively more challenging porting jobs have gotten it done or made great progress.  I know multiple UE games are out or coming and have progress to show.  I know Square Enix is a massive company with enormous resources that shouldn't be outpaced by everyone.  

Oh and prioritizing finishing the PS4 version?  Fine.  That was finished in July of 2017, what have they been doing since?  

I don't expect that much honestly.  I DO expect *something*.  And they have *nothing*.  So tell me, how long should I wait to find their efforts inadequate?  Is there some time limit I should know about?  Cause right now the attitude you are giving off is so long as they don't cancel it, they can delay it until the heat death of the universe and so long as I and others don't have an insider who has seen the code, we can't complain.  Which is just silly.
