    Microsoft is refusing to allow cross platform play with XBOX and they are demanding an additional subscription to thier XBox live to even play it.

    MS is refusing to bend the policies for XIV like the did XI, so no go.

    If that is true, they can make exceptions to their rules like they did with XI.

    You don't think SE tried? They said NO. They made the exception for XI to get an MMO onto the 360.

    They can, but they won't. Complain to Microsoft, it's not Square's fault and there's nothing they can do about it.

    XI was a PS2 port, thus it was from an older generation and they let it slide.

    Of course they can, the problem is, they won't. Yoshi-P's already said they attempted to approach Microsoft about it and MS won't make those exceptions this time around. Even if this thread got to any of the devs, you'd only be preaching to the choir. MS needs to be asked to make the exceptions, SE's done all they're willing to do.

    Personally, it seems silly that they currently require XBL Gold to watch netflix on the 360, but that seems to be indicative of whether MS would ever change their minds without a huge slap in their face with XB1 sales. The XB1 playerbase is going to start off relatively small compared to PC and PS3 owners who are currently able to play together. Then consider that only a fraction of the XB1 playerbase would even be interested in FFXIV. It would feel like you logged into your own private server on your first login.

    That's why SE's not willing to concede to Microsoft's conditions for allowing the game on their system.

    Even if they allowed all that stuff, nobody is going to buy a xbone in Japan. That thing will mainly only sell in the US alone.

    It's a product for fools by ripoffs
