Final Fantasy 14 dev on Switch 2 version, says there’s been “positive” discussions with Nintendo

Could we see Final Fantasy 14 on Nintendo Switch 2 one day? Producer Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida has indicated that Square Enix is in talks with Nintendo, and it sounds like things are going well so far.

He said in the interview with VGC when asked about potentially getting Final Fantasy 14 on Nintendo Switch 2:

“For me, it’s just my aim to provide Final Fantasy 14 and 16 to as many players as possible, and I hope that as many players as possible will be able to enjoy those two games. We are putting in our best efforts to ensure that this happens, so it’s fine to convey to your readership that I consider the possibilities very positively, and we are putting in our best efforts, so I hope players will look forward to possibilities in the future. But I just ask for a little bit more time.”

The veteran director and producer went on to discuss the benefits of a potential Final Fantasy 14 Switch 2 port, noting that it could allow for more casual play away from the television or PC, and introduce younger players to the game.

Yoshi-P would go on to discuss the theoretical benefits of a Nintendo Switch 2 version. He feels that players “could sit back, relax on the sofa with the Switch 2 in hand, and they could do their gatherer and crafter content”. He also feels that there’s the potential to reach younger players who haven’t experienced the MMORPG before.

Yoshi-P ended his comments by stating Square Enix has “been discussing with Nintendo, and the discussions have been positive, so I do hope that players will look forward to hopefully good news in the future.”
