TL;DR Summary
Square Enix has confirmed longer loading times on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy 14, especially when the screen fades to black in crowded areas or during dungeon transitions. The delay is linked to data reloading and cache clearing in these scenarios, and an update is in testing to optimize these processes and improve load times.
