Yoshi-P said to eurogamer there is the possibility of a PS4 version of FFXIV but first they must deliver the promise of a PS3 version.
Also the beta will be towards the end of Sept, PC beta will start before PS3 beta and when PS3 beta is out we will be playing with PS3 players.
Seems like Yoshi-P really wants to get as many customers on board as possible.

I was hoping more for an xbox 360 version of the game... FFXIV is forcing me to buy a ps3 @.@

It would be interesting to see just how far this game can be pushed graphic wise, but honestly, I'm just excited about playing this on my Playstation 3 for now! If it is released for PS4 further down the line, if it looks significantly better, then I'll definitely consider it :)
-
06-14-2012, 12:55 AMDelsusI think in an interview Yoshi-P said he wants it on 360 to get even more players, but again after the promise of a PS3 version has been delivered, hell lets get it on the Wii-U as well for even more players.Quote:

Yoshi-P's stance has basically been "PS3 first since we've been promising it since day 1, then we'll look into any/all other possible platforms after that." So that could include anything: 360, PS4, WiiU, Vita, cell phones, brain implants, or car in-dash displays.

Sadly there will never be a 360 version unless one side or the other backs down.
Microsoft wants to require players to have a gold membership and have their own server for xbox-only.
SE says they can go to hell. -
06-14-2012, 01:15 AMDelsusI don't think they are asking for Xbox only, they just wanted everyone to have to have a gold membership, SE say they don't want people having to pay twice, MS think they are all high and mighty because they are the top PC OS and think they can push people around, SE are showing they are better than MS.Quote:

And with SE starting to release the single player Final Fantasy games (I.e. FFXIII, FFXIII-2) also on xbox, it is even more likely now then it was when they put FFXI on the 360 over 6 years ago.Quote:

06-14-2012, 02:01 AMZenakuFFXI was the only mmo allow to be on xbox with silver membership because it was around the time they release it and want to show everyone that a mmo could be on the Xbox.Quote:

06-14-2012, 02:02 AMyukikaze_yanagiIt's already been explained from old Tanaka: ffxi made it because xbox live was still young and microsoft wanted more audience for that service. Now live it's a well-popular service, so now they demand gold membership for ffxiv. Basicly, you need to pay for live + monthly fee for the game, and the game running on their servers.Quote:

Not considering xbox being pretty almost unknown for japanese players. -

I find it hard to find hopefulness in statements like these. I'm sure we all enjoy the game for our own reasons, but it still strikes me as a game that would not be played widespread by a large amount of players.
-
06-14-2012, 02:28 AMBabydoll
Rather just buy a PC tbh. I know some people can't but really MS can gtfo with their gold membership to play MMO..who wants to pay 2 monthly fees lol
Console gaming is dead from what I saw at this years E3..the good days are over ; ; It is nice though that Yoshi-P is so open minded and is willing to try to put it on as many platforms as possible :) -

IMO, they should've waited and made FFXIV a launch title for the PS4 instead of putting it on the PS3. That'd have made history for sure.

On topic I hope it goes to ps4, that way maybe in 10 years we won't have to see the phrase "ps3 limitations!!!" D:
-
06-14-2012, 03:45 AMTokyieRageI'm sure FFXIV will be with the times and know how to properly port a game to the ps4 in 10 years.Quote:

Yep, the xbox 360 has always been an avenue for Microsoft to milk more income from online connectivity... its why I finally decided to cancel my Gold membership last month after 3 yrs.
The PS4 on the other hand (when it finally gets released) deserves a game such as 2.0 because players should eventually be given the choice of which online mmo games they want to pay for.
Lastly, Im still in the camp of people who are now VERY weary from hearing that nonsense that Microsoft wont allow SE to release FFXIV on xbox because of charging issues... its always been the politically "marketing" correct way to say "our console cannot handle FFXIV". True story. -

MS let FFXI on Xbox but that was when Xbox 360 was just starting out and they wanted to get some kind of playerbase in Japan and attract more JP devs. What better way then having a FF title on their system.
Pretty much now that Xbox live is hugely popular. MS requires all games that have an online component to require Gold. Companies can't host their own servers must be done on MS's servers and there can't be cross play between other platforms. For FFXIV to be on 360 either SE will have to give in to MS's demands, requirement of gold, pay MS for servers and only 360 players can play on that server. Or MS can decide to let SE make the game have it connect to SE's own servers and not require gold. Which will probably never happen. When Tanaka was in charge talks broke down with MS after awhile.
You can't even use other pay services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, many more of their sports channels without Gold. You can't even use free services like youtube, facebook, or twitter app without paying for gold on 360.
MS has not allowed games to connect to non MS servers for awhile now. They wouldn't even let Portal 2 connect to Steam servers for leader boards and Steam Friend list and achievements and cross platform play with PC and Mac users, like the PS3 version can. You won't find other mmos on 360 now like DCU which is on PS3 and PC.
360 users playing with users that have their competitors console is a big 'No' in their book. Another reason could be it was also known that people that played FFXI often didn't have gold because FFXI was they only online game they cared about playing so MS probably thinks they are losing money because these players are getting to play online on 360 without Gold which they don't really like. -

There's no way that FFXIV would be able to run on a 360. Even with the new graphics engine. It is just not powerful enough of a system to run it. Already the PS3, is just barely would be able to run it.
-
06-14-2012, 07:44 AMZumi360 and PS3 are pretty similar in terms of power it could be optimized to run on 360 if its capable of running on PS3. Its just the Xbox Live issue more then anything that keeps it from being on 360.Quote:

AND although as you point out, they are somewhat the same, the PS3 wins hands down in better hardware. The faster processor, better video card and higher memory bandwidth of the PS3 would be better for FFXIV to run. If I recall correctly, it has been said that they are dumbing down the graphics a bit, making it so you can;t see as many people on screen and are toning down from the pc version to be able to get the PS3 to run FFXIV..... then I would assume taking it a few notches down (from that) to make it run on the Xbox wouldnt be a good choice. It would look terrible and wouldnt be worth the development time for. -
06-14-2012, 09:38 AMDelsusIt would look like any HD 360 game, FFXIV (if they go by their origanal plans) will only be in 720p as opposed to 1080p of the PC version, this will help the frame rate a lot. 360 should be able to handle 720p and lower draw distance a bit, which shouldn't look too bad.Quote:

The core HW of ps3 was reported to not differ much from that of the future ps4. PS3's cell processor was released before there was much that could handle it, so it still has some life in it.

With the release of the ps3 version of the game, a ps4 version is basically inevitable. At least in the sense that yes, once the ps4 has been out for a while and people start replacing their ps3s with ps4s, porting Xiv over to ps4 is something they will want to do. However, I think they will probably gain more players by releasing Xiv on 360 as well ( after the ps3 release) and then go from there to the next gen consoles. I would even say they should consider releasing it on the wii-u if they think there's a playerbase to gain there. I'm all for anything that will increase the amount of players on this game.
-
06-14-2012, 10:50 AMBruceyBruceyBangBangAlthough I usually prefer PS3 versions, this is completely false. Thus far FF games on the xbox 360 have been ports from either PS2 (FFXI) or PS3 (FFXIII, FFXIII-2) and don't perform well for that very reason. Since this is a PC developed game it's actually 10 times easier to port and to optimize for the 360.Quote:
