Steel thy shovel forever more!
Having released back in 2010, FINAL FANTASY XIV originally started out as a massive “multiplayer online role-playing game,” developed for Windows, but it is still alive and well in 2024 now that FINAL FANTASY XIV has finally made its debut on Microsoft’s current-gen consoles. It has been a long time coming and it is something that was often hoped would happen for the Nintendo Switch.
While no official plans have been shared, during a recent interview with Easy Allies, FINAL FANTASY XIV director, Naoki Yoshida, stated his desire to have the game readily available for all to enjoy and not just those with the current platforms that support the title. For his full words on the matter, we have them here:
My dream, or goal, for more than ten years at this points is for players to be able to play Final Fantasy XIV regardless of device, and be able to access the servers to go in and access the same world. … we’ve been talking for years to bring the game on the Xbox platform, and so of course we would love to have our title available on the Nintendo platform, and we do want to continue our efforts. But it did take a lot of time – with Xbox, we literally have talked for years, and it is now finally coming to fruition. We will try our best and continue to work hard at it and continue our efforts. Eventually, it would be cool – something that we would love to sort of explore and make a reality one day.
