We investigate the infinite volume limit of the variational description of Euclidean quantum fields introduced in a previous work. Focussing on two dimensional theories for simplicity, we prove in details how to use the variational approach to obtain tightness of $\varphi^4_2$ without cutoffs and a corresponding large deviation principle for any infinite volume limit. Any infinite volume measure is described via a forward–backwards stochastic differential equation in weak form (wFBSDE). Similar considerations apply to more general $P (\varphi)_2$ theories. We consider also the $\exp (\beta \varphi)_2$ model for $\beta^2 < 8 \pi$ (the so called full $L^1$ regime) and prove uniqueness of the infinite volume limit and a variational characterization of the unique infinite volume measure. The corresponding characterization for $P (\varphi)_2$ theories is lacking due to the difficulty of studying the stability of the wFBSDE against local perturbations.
