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?

Well, you don't have to see it. I can't convince anyone to see anything that they can't. I just know that myself included, among others, we feel it is meaningful. Especially games that were just released on PS4 a year or 2 ago. This opens the door for more content from Square Enix on the FF side, and like I said. Stay tuned for what's in store for the future. It's...bright.

Bottom line is, it may not matter to you but it matters to a lot of other people. The Nintendo Switch Reddit in particular is lighting up over this news. Not everyone owns a PS4 and Switch, for a lot of people Switch is their only platform. Xbox as well, because it's getting these games for the first time as well. If it didn't matter in the grand scheme of things, I don't think Square Enix would have put forth the effort to even release these games.
