FFXIV Switch 2: handheld shines, docked visuals underwhelm
TL;DR Summary
FFXIV on Switch 2 is solid in handheld mode with good load times and usable touchscreen, but the docked experience is disappointing—limited to 1080p, no 1440p/4K UI options, and a 30fps cap with subpar visuals—compared to PS5/Xbox/PC. VRR helps on some setups, but overall the handheld port shines for portability while docked performance lags; login flow remains a cross-platform quirk, and the subscription model adds complexity. The article says future updates for higher resolutions, better post-processing, and features like DLSS would help close the gap.
