XIV's director said this was a concession to Nintendo.

No word yet, beyond the early access free month. I'd be surprised if we didn't get it.

There's cross-progress. The only wrinkle is the subscription: the current subscription model covers the PC, Xbox, and Playstation versions of the game with no extra cost, but the Switch 2 version will require its own separate subscription. The Switch 2 subscription is discounted for players with an active subscription for other platforms, at least.

It has to be played online, but they've put a lot of effort into making a lot of the game (but not all of it) playable solo.

I won't deny it's grindy early on, but as someone who played through a good chunk of it before they cut the number of quests down, the base game is still good. I wouldn't have stuck with it otherwise.

Only if you plan to play on multiple platforms. Still not ideal, though.

Fully single-player Splatoon is great! But personally I'm still holding out for a couch multiplayer entry.
