Final Fantasy 14 launches on Switch 2 with free trial, 117GB download required

A game that has spent years building one of the most devoted communities in online gaming has now crossed into new territory — the portable screen. Final Fantasy 14's arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 is less a technical event than a philosophical one: the question of where a living, breathing world can follow its players. Square Enix extends an open hand with a free trial, even as the game's sheer accumulated weight — 117 gigabytes of years-long storytelling — asks something real in return.
