Is Microsoft or Sony holding up a Xbox One version at this point?

Or have any issues been resolved and we could potentially see a Xbox release along with 5.0?

Microsoft is. Microsoft will not remove the xbox live requirements to play FFXIV.

Sony does not require PS+ to play FFXIV as well as several other MMOs outside of ESO

This is blocking them from even talking about crossplay with Sony for FFXIV.

I wonder if the data center split was done knowing they'd be adding another platform.

Think microsoft wanted there own Xbox only servers as well at one point. Dunno if that's still a thing though.

100% Microsoft at this point, its sad

Judging from other games I'd say Sony. They don't like cross play with other consoles and were taking some flak by denying crossplay with Fortnite a while ago if I remember correct. People that had previously registered with PS4 were tied to the PC and PS4 and couldn't use the account on the Nintendo Switch version of the game forcing them to either abandon using it on the Switch or create a new account.

Honestly I rather wait until Microsoft gets a new console out before we get back into the "consoles are holding back the game for PC players" I believe there is a lot of rumors that the PS5 will be out within the next 2-3 years and by then Microsoft should have a new console out also.

Don't hold your breath for it. Plus I really don't want a lot of the xbox players to come into XIV
