FFXI on Switch 2?

[radar]

Yoshida at one point expressed interest in FFXIV being on the switch, but the biggest issue was the lack of storage on the console (The SD card is slower and wouldn't be great, it needs to be the faster flash storage)

Switch 2 solves this problem. Wh ile the internal storage isn't that much better, the Switch 2 uses a newer and vastly faster SD card standard (and the compatible SD cards are also more expensive, obviously) that would be suitable for this.

It will still be incredibly difficult to port XIV to the Switch 2, considering XI is part of XIV operations and is counted towards how much money and players it has porting XI to the Swtich2 would also help XIV on financial reports.

They could even setup servers just for Switch if cross play is a problem.

XI is way easier to port over than XIV.

Please stop pushing this nonsense. Yes both games are operated by the same division, but neither needs the other to justify its existence and it doesn't matter where the money comes from.

XI uses so little resources compared to games today that they could run the game in a virtual machine and it would still work fine. Don't even need to port it. And XIV? It's totally possible and it would certainly help them add some more players which they probably need right now with how lackluster the latest expansion is in the eyes of many of its players (I don't quite feel the same, but the feeling is pervasive throughout much of the playerbase)
