Xbox one FF14 not coming anytime soon

If they haven't decided at this point, it's probably never going to happen. They have been trying to release this on the 360/One since 2.0 and it's been the same thing since then. Microsoft wants a cut of the profits, segregate the servers and require a Gold account on top of an already existing subscription fee.

Yoshi should stop trying to negotiate with Microsoft at this point. Until Microsoft changes their rather archaic business decisions, I doubt they are going to change their stance any time soon.

givin that they are reforming the platform for xbox one we might see the stance change on the part of MS. ofcourse we probably wont but who knows

It's really how funny when I read on a famous Windows website an article about FFXIV which implies that the absence of FFXIV from Xone may be from SE's part and Yoshi team. They also did not closed the window for the possibility that the game may appear in Xone later.

It has nothing to do with Yoshida or SE, it's just that Microsoft either wants exclusive servers for their console, or for PC to be separated from PS4 and merged with Xbox One instead (obviously not going to happen). Microsoft has been like this since the beginning of time, Sony is always open to the idea of multiplatform games, as is Valve. Microsoft? Nope, they're against it as if all the consoles worldwide will explode if they did so.

As far as I'm concerned, Microsoft's got no leverage here. Sony got in on the ground floor with PS3/4. I guess it's going to take MS realizing their dudebro FPS base is unsustainable in the long run (i.e. there's only so many Call of Duty/Halo copycats out there) for them to change their mentality.

You read that of a what? "famous Windows" website? Is that one of those objective, unbiased, not at all in M$ pocket, sources almost as objective as Major Nelson? You should apply a little critical thinking when reading sites, famous or otherwise.

The Xbox One (Down Payment) is so hell bent on nickle and diming every thing that they really don't deserve ANY SE titles in my opinion but at least single player titles with out or optional online modes don't need gold.

FF14 how ever should NEVER be given to those cash grabbing rats. SE said that Sony couldn't ask PS+ subscriptions for FF15 and they're like "Yea ok, not like it's required on PS3 anyway" while Microsoft is like " But I'm the GREAT MICROSOFT! How DARE you not meet my demands!" and Yoshida proceed to leave negotiations since there were none.

I feel like this only happened because Microsoft was desperate to do anything and everything to get a people on board with buying Xbox 360 since it was so new at the time. I'm sure if SE tried to bring FFXI to 360 later during its life cycle it would of never happened.

I'm honestly surprised it was even considered since there's probably less than 1000 xbox 1s in use in Japan.

Mostly because how underhanded xbox live is. It really nickle and dimes you to no end. Unless it changed, you pretty much can't do anything on a xbox consule w/o x-box live. And for $60 a year it just not worth it.

I recall the early days on the 360 where goid was just a bonus and not needed. Now u need it to do pretty much anything. And even microsoft stated ff11 was a one time thing because x-box live was still new and ff11 was a way to get people to buy a 360.

Played a PS4? Subbing to PS Plus is just like Xbox Live Gold.
