Overview
- During an in-game New Year Q&A on Japanese servers, Naoki Yoshida responded to a Switch question with a tease reported as “Please look forward to it,” with a separate translation citing “please wait while looking forward to it.”
- Yoshida has previously said discussions with Nintendo had begun and were positive, as noted in a Gamescom 2025 interview with VideoGamesChronicle.
- The comment referenced “Switch” broadly, and outlets note the target platform remains unclear, with some analysis suggesting a Switch 2 release is more likely rather than confirmed.
- Final Fantasy XIV continues active support, recently adding Main Scenario Quests, a dungeon, a Trial, a new Arcadion Heavyweight Raid tier, a Glamour system overhaul, and a new Frontline map in patch 7.4.
- A separate mobile version, Final Fantasy XIV: Crystal World, launched in China on June 19, 2025 via Tencent’s LightSpeed Studios, and no global release has been announced.
