Square Enix, publisher and developer of the seminal Final Fantasy role-playing game (RPG) series, seems keen to bring its widely popular massively-multiplayer online (MMO) entry in the series, Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV), to the Nintendo Switch.
Naoki Yoshida, producer on FFXIV, spoke to gaming news outlet VGR at length about the latest content in the game as well as the prospect of bringing the game to Nintendo’s mobile console.
“He noted that they want ‘as many [ways] to play as possible,'” the report reads. “Discussions are still ‘ongoing’ with all three publishers – Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo – to see if the game can come to Xbox One and Switch with cross-play with the PC and PS4 versions. Yoshida noted he ‘hopes to announce something as soon as we can.'”
If Square Enix gets its way, and talks with Nintendo are positive, one of the biggest MMOs of our generation could soon be playable on the Switch console.
The console is already capable of supporting such games, as the Dragon Quest X MMORPG – a lesser known fantasy franchise by Square Enix – is available for the Switch in Japan.
