I’m positive on this, but like Nintendo requiring a seperate subscription for crossplatform players sucks.
Like having XIV is an objective good and it’s great for new players, but come on.
Edit: I feel like people aren’t understanding what I mean. I don’t mean the base subscription we already have or NSO. Nintendo is requiring a dedicated sub to XIV that isn’t cross-platform like the existing subscription, meaning you functionally have to pay 2 subs to play on Switch 2 and another platform like PC or PS5, when before you only had to pay one. Which sucks. Granted you do get a 50% discount if you have an active sub on another platform and you don’t need NSO to play the game (unlike say Xbox where you need both a XIV sub and Game Pass), but it is annoying that this asterisk is there at all.

Now we just need 11 and 13 and I’m pretty sure every mainline game will be on Switch 2
Any 13 hate in my responses can and will be met exclusively with quotes from My Hands by Leona Lewis

Can we use existing accounts and play our characters on both platforms? Would be a shame to start over

Nevermind, i said bullshit

There seems to be some confusion about the separate subscription criticism.
If I got a FF14 sub from PlayStation, I could also use it on PC and Xbox.
The Switch 2 FF14 sub only works for Switch 2. If you hold an existing sub, you need to pay extra for a Switch 2 sub (you get 50% off).

Well the separate sub kills it for existing players lol wtf kinda of decision is that. Every other platform you just need to purchase the expansions.

So stupid to add another subscription for this. I was excited until they said that.

This is awesome. I stopped playing a long time ago but this might draw me back

LETS GO!!!!

So how does chat work? It would be cool if there was a way I could use my phone to talk in game chat or maybe a seperate keyboard I can pick up

Wait does anyone know if I switch from pc subscription to now exclusively subbing on the switch, do I need 1 or both subscriptions?
Rikkasu
Hope there’s some kind of bundle I can buy to catch me up fast.

Can you transfer saves? Got a Steam save, but I want to play it on console now.

I’ll probably keep playing it on my steam deck instead, but I’m really excited to see it on another platform. If that extra sub fee wasn’t a thing I’d dive in just to have it available in more places.

Separate sub is a dealbreaker. If they can’t be compatible with our current sub (that’s already compatible with XIV on Playstation and Xbox) because of some Nintendo shenanigans, I almost rather have it be a part of NSO :/

I will try at least to see how it works because i have mostly been playing on PC before my hiatus last year.
But that sub part i don’t understand what that about.

Wonder how it runs

I get the annoyance around the sub situation but as someone who’s only dabbled with the free trial a few years ago, I’m psyched about this

I wonder how viable raids will be on switch. Can’t imagine most of the game’s content being a problem, but raids im skeptical on.

Still waiting for Genshin…

This game has like 6 expansions, no? What’s the file size? Can this even fit on the included internal storage?
Nas160
My friend is already telling me “you *will* play it”
RoxDan
Yesssss!!!!!!

Was really not expecting that. Lord help me. Been looking for an actual MMO on the switch. I just remember the beginning being dreadfully boring with ARR but I’ll give it another go.

I was hyped for this, even was okay with buying the expansion twice, PC and Switch 2. But a separate subscription, geez Nintendo.
Nintendo doesn’t want the Switch 2 to be a complimentary device for our games, which is where it could fit in perfectly. Playing FFXIV at home, then taking it on the go or to a friend’s house to show them the game seems like a no-brainer. It adds value to what my Switch 2 device can do.
Ttm-o
Daaaaaaang. Hell yeah.

ESO where arreeee youuu?!

Is it cross play or Nintendo only players?
tennaki
Ready that microSD card, because this game is massive.
I’m impressed though, Switch2 getting an MMO!
Sentinel10
The additional sub thing is kind of a bummer, but I imagine this is mostly going to appeal to those who aren’t playing the game already.
It’s still good to have the option. I’m going to stay on PS5 for mine since I can only imagine what this game will do to Switch 2 storage.

This has the potential that to ruin lives

I actually only plan to play on S2, but this is a real shame for most people I’d assume. Very strange.
Humblerewt
Pretty hyped for this

I play on PC can carry my data and character over to Switch 2?

When Resident Evil 4 remake???

Omg, ITS HAPPENING

Nintendo deciding “yes, we WOULD like to destroy Japan’s productivity this fall.”

Can’t wait to finally play this game I heard great things

I’m pretty sure the answer is no, but if I’ve bought and subbed to a full version but am still in Shadowbringers MSQ would I be able to play for free through the free trial? I think the answer is no but just curious if that’s changed since I’m about halfway through Shadowbringers and they’re going to add that to the free trial. Being on Switch 2 would make me very interested in resubbing though.

MASSIVE news.
Wow.

Was not expecting that. Wow.

So glad to see this hit more platforms.
Rubengardiner
Oh wow this is hope. I know it’s a completely different company but would love to have world of Warcraft on the switch 2
Friendly-Loaf
I’m actually so hyped for this. my potato stopped being able to run above 15fps in raids so I ended my journey with endwalker.(Fitting).
If this can run 30 fps it’s a solid offer and I’ll definitely buy back in.
