Talks to Bring Final Fantasy XIV to Switch are Reportedly Ongoing

According to a recent interview with GameSpot, Final Fantasy XIV Director Naoki Yoshida has confirmed that Square Enix is in talks with various platform holders to bring the MMORPG to new platforms.

From GameSpot:

"Talks with platform-holders has been going on. The fundamental philosophy with Final Fantasy XIV is we want it on labels with cross-platform play with any devices, hardware possible," Yoshida said through a translator. "So as long as the regulations with the counterpart hardware companies … we can actually pass that, then the possibility, the chance is quite high [of Final Fantasy XIV coming to Xbox and Nintendo systems].

"So we are talking with Nintendo, Microsoft, and Google, of course; we cannot say anything at the moment because we are still in negotiations, but once we have details we can make an announcement; we can bring the news to everyone. We are currently negotiating will all those platforms."

So while this is far from a confirmation of other platforms, the fact that console crossplay is now viale does make it more likely that Final Fantasy XIV could end up on other systems than the PS4. Which would be kind of great, considering Yoshida plans to continue supporting FFXIV for the forseeable future.
