Final Fantasy XIV Switch 2 Talk Dominates Pure Nintendo Podcast — FFVII Rebirth Demo, Magazine News, and More

The latest episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast put Final Fantasy front and center as hosts Jemma, Kirk, and Trev examined recent franchise news with a Nintendo-focused lens.

The long-running Final Fantasy series has appeared across multiple Nintendo platforms and genres; this episode tackles reports and announcements that intersect with Nintendo’s hardware roadmap and the community’s interest in MMORPG and remake content.

On the show, the hosts reviewed coverage of Square Enix’s recent messaging around Final Fantasy XIV and discussed the implications for Nintendo hardware.

The podcast team said they would provide a detailed breakdown of claims that Final Fantasy XIV is planned for Nintendo’s next system, which listeners can follow via official Square Enix channels for confirmation.

They also covered a demo release for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on the Switch 2 platform as discussed during the episode, noting hands-on impressions and what a playable demo could signal for the remake trilogy’s reach on Nintendo hardware.

The hosts expanded coverage beyond Final Fantasy.

To mark Star Wars Day (May 4), they looked at a new Monopoly variant that features Star Wars characters, describing the title as a novelty tie-in that blends a classic board game format with licensed IP.

They also recounted recent Mario Galaxy movie news and a reported Amazon/Nintendo commerce item, and highlighted an upcoming point-and-click adventure with a distinctive visual style that mixes Monty Python–like humor and Renaissance-inspired art.

The episode includes segments on retro and indie play sessions, with the team noting time spent on Nintendo titles Tomodachi Life, the indie puzzle title Starbites, and the story-driven Back to the Dawn.

In promotion of Pure Nintendo’s print arm, the hosts announced the latest issue of Pure Nintendo Magazine is available now and noted physical distribution in Brisbane at the Comic Book Cafe.

They also reminded listeners that the Pure Nintendo team will attend Colletfest in Brisbane on May 9–10 and encouraged readers to follow their channels on Blue Sky and Instagram for issue and event updates.

Closing the episode, the hosts signed off with a familiar rallying call to the community, inviting listeners to stay tuned for future coverage.

For definitive confirmation of any platform release details, the show advised checking official statements from Square Enix and Nintendo and watching for official Nintendo Direct or publisher announcements.
