When is Switch getting a Final Fantasy game that matters?

As far as the rest of the post, I don't think you can argue success, but criticizing Nintendo for not having a great lineup this year before Smash is a pretty valid complaint. Not sure why he'd use the Wii U as a reference point when we know what is coming. I think I shouldn't expect too much from OP on this though. Nintendo has done things to shore up their first party offerings in 2018.

Well, it's subjective. There are a ton of people who are excited about the FF games that were announced, FFVII on Nintendo matters to a lot of people. Wii U just got FF1, FFII, and FFIII. That's nothing compared to the games that were announced for Switch yesterday. FF games that were not on Nintendo platforms, and now they are...it matters to a lot of people. Zodiac Age just launched last year on PS4, this means a lot to Nintendo fans who never got these games. And...it isn't going to stop here.

Arguing that it has had a poor lineup is valid, I've said that in numerous posts. But again, that's subjective. Switch software and hardware is keeping up with PS4 even with the poor software support, but obviously a lot of people are engaged in the software on the Switch even if we aren't. Complaints are always valid, it's pushing that as a fact that gets kind of gray especially when we have quantitative data that supports the fact. 

I said earlier in a different post, have your opinion, that's great.  But the fact of the matter is people are buying software on Switch at a rapid pace compared to the Wii U. 

I understand the "gotcha" or cultural factor but are you really arguing that mobile phone and pc ports of games that are two decades old are meaningful? I don't see it.

Maybe I just need to readjust my perception, because I would think that the only meaningful FF game that could be announced for Switch at this point would be a FF7 remake or FF16 proper. I don't place a high value on the FF10/12 remasters and maybe I should?
