FFXIV Producer Yoshi-P has stated that ongoing discussions with Nintendo and Microsoft are "positive" about bringing Final Fantasy XIV to Switch and PS4.
Chinese gaming peripheral maker Mobapad has outed Nintendo Switch 2 info "through our partnership with Nintendo's supply chain."
Interesting I like what I've read so far.
Full backwards compatibility with games carts and digital, comparability with pro controller and joy cons (they can't be docked though)
So basically my investments in switch one games and hardware seems to be respected

Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
They have been saying this about an xbox version since 2014. Given the poor sales of Japanese games including FFXV which only sold 15% of it's units on Xbox I don't see this as likely. A Switch version on the other hand seems like a great idea. FFXIV on a portable system would be great.
FF14...on Switch? YES PLEASE!!!!!!
I mean I own it on PS4 and I love it but taking it on the go (provided I have an internet connection obviously) my healing skills will know no bounds!
God please no Switch port .unlike WOW, FFXIV graphics bearly improved since release because of the lowest common denominator the PS3 , they finally got rid of it and we now have large cities without loading screens, we don't need any new limiters .
You already dumped the outdated PS3 that was holding back enhancements to the game. Now you want to bring it to Switch and be right back in the same boat? Why............?
As much as I would love this on switch I would be cautious since they only recently dropped support for the ps3 version and a handheld switch is only a little more powerful than a ps3 so It could be holding the game back for pc / ps4 assuming it is crossplay.
Would be impressive if they got some of the areas in stormblood to run on the switch though.
