You guys are missing the point. This article is trying to make a spin on something that just isn't there.
The fact of the matter is, Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida has been with talks with MS many times every year trying to convince MS to open their servers for cross play. Some of these conditions includes not making FFXIV players on Xbone pay for 2 subscriptions.
Personally, I don't want FFXIV on Switch. It'll be like another PS3 bottleneck for everyone.
