Speaking to DualShockers , Tabata explained that his team had tested the game's Luminous Engine on the Switch but couldn't“bring out the most of the engine”.That's not to say a port categorically can't happen - Tabata also made clear that no specific optimisations had been made to account for the Switch's power (which could allow for the full game to run) - but no further tests have been made as yet.It seems far more likely that Switch will receive the episodic Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition beginning on mobile platforms this Fall, a move Tabata has told us certainly has "a chance" of happening. That might be no bad thing - having gone hands-on with the first episode at PAX West, we called the chibi-style demake Pocket Edition such an exact remake that it feels surreal. That project could mark the end of the over decade-long development of XV - Tabata recently told us that, "at the end of the year, I think we do have to have a drawing of the line and moving on to do the next project."
