Square probably could probably make a WiiU version of FF15 with downgrades, but it appears they don't have the incentive to make the investment even if it turn a tiny profit in the end. Opportunity cost factors are probably telling them they are better off investing their resources towards DLC or a new game rather than make a WIIU port. So unless you purchase the consoles that FF15 is on you will have to miss out on this game.

This thread. What is this I don't even.

I expect FF XV would need to go through a graphical downgrade of some sort to work on the Wii U. Heck, I'm half expecting a downgrade on PS4 and X1 just because trailers just about always look better than the actual game.

That said, I don't think a downgrade would hurt FF XV that much. XIII-2 was the first Final Fantasy game where I sat back and said, "You know, I don't care if it ever gets better than this" because with the exceptions of some really up-close headshots none of the textures or animations looked washed out.

I'm sure graphic-whores will cry bloody murder, but the graphical differences in a downgraded XV probably won't amount to a hill of beans.

How is any of this relevant?

Lets be real here, Wii U could run Final Fantasy 15 with significant downgrades, that much is practically indisputable. The only way it wouldn't be downgraded if it was something like rayman legends and developed on the wii u and up ported. That would hold back the game in general though. It would also be very stupid, I could explain why but you haven't asked why yet.

So assuming this game would be heavily downgraded, why on earth would you want the Wii U version? You would pay 60$ for the shittiest version of the game just because its on the Wii U? Or would you act like it should cost less because it has less content/quality despite the fact that its the console holding the game back not SE. Then when the game sells like shit because it was the worse versions of the game, you're gonna make a thread like "why was SE lazy with FF15 Wii U?" despite the fact that again its the hardware holding it back, you're gonna blame its poor sales on the quality of the port and when SE fails to break even on the Wii U your gonna be like "they shouldn't have ported anyway if they where gonna do a bad job: or "serves them right"

but wii u can xD

with FF15, I don't see why not since the assets look mostly are based on the PS3 to start with, it'd have to run at a lower resolution/FPS with shittier lighting, the major problem is changing the way the game would handle the CPU with the code which is kinda what SE clearly doesn't want to do. The next mainline FF(16?) will look way better than FF15, the problem is not how the games will look IMO, it's how good they will actually be after looking at FF13. Will FF ever get back into the 90s range in overall score again? That's the real question, not how pretty it looks or can it run on something.

I'm dying here.

But to be honest, SOTC looks stunning even almost ten years later.

You clearly have no idea how demanding it is to create a fully interactive environment and dynamic world. The point is, X, which you seem to hold close to your heart, doesn't offer any of that even with much less action going on at the same time as it appears from the footage. 

Anyways, I hope XV would be available on every console, the game is going to be a masterpiece.

Dude, thats rude

Yeah, sure, it has nothing to do with the fact Wii U is selling awfully and third-party games also sell awfully on the system, it's certainly because techincal limitations and nothing else, right?

There are PC games like Crysis 3, for example, which require at least a 1GB GT 520 GPU and some Athlon X2 CPU to run at low, but to max out need something similar to a 3/4GB GTX 680 and an i7 2600k. That's a much bigger difference in power when compared to Wii U/PS4 difference, technical limitations aren't the reason games aren't coming on Wii U.

thats exactly whats going to happen because he refuses to accept that Wii U is not as powerful as he thinks it is, the sad thing is he doesnt even own one.
