Final Fantasy XIV launches on the Nintendo Switch 2 today, bringing Square Enix's persistent online role-playing game to a new handheld platform. This release matters because it expands the player base for one of the most popular MMORPGs available on a portable device. Players can finally access the game's expansive world while on the go, though they must manage a significant storage requirement. The game takes up 117 GB of space, making it the largest console game currently available for the system.
