• He said he hopes fans will hear good news but asked for a little more time, emphasizing there is no announcement yet.
• Yoshida described the handheld as well suited to casual FF14 play such as gathering and crafting, with intensive raiding better on PC or console.
• He reiterated a goal to reach more players with both Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XVI, raising the possibility of XVI on Switch 2.
• Reports place the comments within Square Enix's broader multiplatform shift, noting FF14's Xbox launch in 2024 and FF7 Remake Intergrade on Switch 2 as precedent.
