Nintendo Life | Latest Updates
Final Fantasy XIV Online is out now for the Switch 2, and like all good MMO launches, it seems there are some teething issues.
Square Enix has identified a prolonged loading bug in this version of the game, with a notice on the official game website detailing how it "may take longer than usual" when the screen fades to black in instanced duties.
The delay is especially noticeable in the following situations:・When the screen fades to black during a battle phase transition or when teleporting to a different map in an instanced duty・When the screen fades to black upon reviving after being K.O.
As such, these processes have been optimised to ensure faster data loading even under similar conditions, and the updated version is currently in testing.
Fortunately, as mentioned, an updated version is already in the works, and the team is aiming to release it as "soon as possible" to address this problem, as well as "several other issues".
