Oh wait.

Its this clause from your link that prevents XIV from happening.

Of course, it’s up to game developers to support this feature, and Xbox Live players will always have the option of choosing to play only with other Xbox Live players.

they tried that back with 11 when 11 was cross platformed with xbox360 pc and ps2. SE said no to xboxlive being coneected ot a paywal lfor their sub game so they closed the xbox accounts and offered then free transfers to ps2 or pc like they do with ps3 to ps4 since ps3 is being phased out. as long as MS requires xboxlive and demands their own servers. FFXIV will never ever be on Xbox

To be fair: ID@XBox is mostly for indies.

Big studios can sit down at the table with MS and negotiate deals. SquareEnix is in a very strong position to negotiate things, and being the underdog, I would not be shocked if MS was willing to make big exceptions to get the title running on XB1. During the 360 lifetime, the only game ever to play outside Xbox Live was Final Fantasy XI.

Xbox one has cross play with pc and PS4 now it's just now up sony to open up the servers to Xbox one phill made a post about Xbox one last year saying that they want ffxiv on Xbox it's Sony that's holding it back now

You've got no evidence of that Sony is holding it back.

Except Yoshi-P said they are still being roadblocked by Microsoft in their talks. And the servers are owned and operated by SE, Sony has no actual control over the game and no real connection to it other than the license check when you go to initially start the game.

That tweet just says MS would love to have FFXIV. That doesn't mean that Sony is holding them up.

This video says MS is the hold up and not Sony. ( Yoshi-P )

Still doesn't show Sony is blocking it, the anecdotal evidence we seem to have suggests that Microsoft's won't budge on SE's red lines.

This doesn't seem to be the issue here, as I understand it the issue isn't with MS and Sony as 14 doesn't really use either of there networks. The issue is that MS and SE can't seem to agree on certain key issues.

That's because a) they aren't, and b) there's no evidence they are, and c) there's plenty of evidence both anecdotal and empirical that MS is the problem, contrary to the smoke and mirror show some seem to have swallowed.

For PS4 and Xbox One players to play together in FFXIV and other games, there is absolutely zero need for PSN or Xbox to open up to each other or communicate with each other in any way. It's completely false to suggest otherwise, and claiming that your competitor is an obstacle, when in fact you are the obstacle is dishonest at best.

MS has NOT changed the fact that they would want their own server to play FFXIV
Read up before posting, Sony is in no way holding back MS

MS requirements of Xbox Live have not changed thus no ffxiv on xbox1

Buy a PS4 .

Hmm I don't remember this happening. I remember both being shut down and players offered transfers to PC. The only reason they did this was declining numbers nothing to do with Microsoft.

One more point as grist for the mill. If FFXIV was implemented on Xbox One, would that not immediately represent a new limitation on what the game can do in future? I mean, Xbox One has about 50% of the GPU resource that even the original PS4 has.

That alone seems like a really good reason not to do it.

Except the Xbox has more available ram (not being used by its OS) and higher CPU (better for MMOs) yes it's GPU is a little lower but as a whole it wouldn't hinder a 2013 game like FFXIV

The game uses less than 4gigs total. On PC, at max settings. More ram doesnt matter.

Should of put this on the live letter thread as a question.

At this point in Xbox 1 life cycle wouldn't it be better for them to work towards the next hardware launch. Unless it was a super simple port.
