The Final Fantasy XV team has been busy. Gone are the days where you ship a AAA game and be done with it -- now you have to optimize patches, free/paid content, and spinoffs. Final Fantasy XV is busting out nearly every facet of that playbook, including ports and a Pocket Edition demake of sorts.
Speaking to DualShockers, director Hajime Tabata gave us an indirect hint that the very same Pocket version may indeed hit Switch. He re-clarified that the team was looking into XV on Switch, but explained further that the system can't really handle the game's Luminous Engine, and that they're "looking into" Unreal Engine 4 and Unity.
What does this all mean? Well, chances are they won't rework the massive XV for Switch, but rather, a Pocket release that still contains most of the same story beats seems more likely. This is all speculation as Square could make the full version sing eventually, but for now, I don't see them putting in a massive amount of effort in a 1:1 port given that their work is already cut out for them with the recently announced PC version.
