Forget XV I'd like XII Zodiac on the switch.
Infinitely more interested in this than I am with FFXV. Would be nice playing FFXII in bed.

Its a really pretty game thoughLol their engine can barely run well on a PS4...
How about we start focusing on the games that are coming to Switch? It'll save us a lot of time.
A shame though. A JRPG like this on the go would he awesome. Especially with sleep mode.
Every Switch thread on Gaf is like,
Interviewer: Will we see X game on Switch?
Developer: We don't know
Gaf: Switch is too weak!
Well it was a significant engineering task to get the game running on the PS4 and Xbox One.
With a 30fps target. And running at 1600x900 on the Xbox one.
It's one of the best looking games on console.
Look at the dragon quest heroes 2 screenshots on PS4 vs Switch here:

The game on PS4 doesn't look that complex at all and still the switch has a significant downgrade.
The consoles have 8 core processors with mid range desktop level GPUs.
It's a matter of power consumption, battery life and heat dissipation so the Switch can't compete.
Raw performance wise it'll compete with the Wii U / Xbox 360 / PS3 but with the benefit of today's architecture.
Nothing has been said or shown to say otherwise so I'm comfortable making that assertion.
I'm capable of reading English. Tabata is being diplomatic.
Also I've got a degree in Electronics Engineering and work in the tech industry. I may not be an expert but I have a base level understand to understand what I'm talking about.
G: Is there any possibility for Final Fantasy XV to be released on Nintendo Switch?
HT: There are no Plans, it wouldnt run
G: It wouldnt run at all?
HT: It might run But we havent conducted the proper tests on whether it would run properly on Switch or not, so I cannot say for sure.
Skyrim will be far easier to port, because it already runs on Switch-level hardware.But Skyrim though? 6 year old port.
In other words, third party support is gonna blow. Not that it should be a surprise to anyone.
Isn't all work on Luminous engine dead anyway? They moved to Unreal Engine themselves. I fully expect a port of the next FF though, because of the easiness with which you should be able to port over (and Nintendo's suspected hegemony over Japan).

Isn't it high time someone makes a new version of that "Wii U outside in the rain" pic for the Switch?
Or if the publisher is planning to support the system.Every Switch thread on Gaf is like,

In what reality? As a console sure but as a handheld it's still cutting edge.
Yet you chose to compare the switch to an pad or android tablet
sure, because no one's making handhelds anymore.
it's not that much more powerful than the 5+ year old Vita
Lol their engine can barely run well on a PS4...
But given that this thread is basically port begging for a console game, it makes sense to contextualize the power (or lack thereof) of the Switch in the console space, dontcha think?In what reality? As a console sure but as a handheld it's still cutting edge.
Wasn't it Laura Kate Dale saying this was coming?

Which one is that?No? Their next game runs on Luminous.
Well yes, technically it's called "export to Switch".also lol at easiness of porting . You guys think there is some magic on unreal engine that lets port the games to tablets really

^Haven't we learned that these "insiders" can't be trusted?

Of course you need to downgrade lots of stuff.
She said something about a DS3 port, but nothing about FFXV iirc.
I don't think she had mention any FF game coming to the Switch in her "leaks".

IIRC there were people who were sure this would happen prior to the january presentation.

Yes. To devices that consitiute the majority of sales for SoCs which is the location where innovation happens.
The iPad costs at least double. Has a higher resolution screen and uses Apple's ARM CPUs which are the best on the market.
The Google Pixel C, which is an android tablet, has an Nvidia Tegra X1. The Switch is an evolution on that Design.
Why are people even asking if these AAA will be ported to Switch in the first place??? Hahaha.
The thing is using underclocked ARM chips that current high-end phones will probably outperform.
Ask for chu-chu rocket, monkey ball instead.
Might scream in anger if KH3 doesnt come.
Unreal Engine 4 based Final Fantasy games are more likely, doubt FF15 could run without major compromises.
Fwiw highend mobile CPUs outperform the PS4 (Pro)'s CPU too.

The Switch is a tablet.
Can an Android or iPad tablet run FFXV? No.
