Is most of FFXIV's failings due to their choice of engine?

The sad part about that is I bet B&S will hit the same wall all mmo's hit with Xbox, Microsoft whats their cut, so it would be expensive for x360 players to play it. It's why all those MMO's initially said for X360 release never occured...

It's really not as simple as wanting a cut, MS like to control their network and by linking to two other systems, PC and PS3 they have no control, ie abuse and such.

Most devs get along with MS just fine, its just SE are stuck in their ways as are MS, so their is an impasse.

It's very unlikely that B&S will have international servers like FFXIV does, so there is no worries.
