Final Fantasy XIV running on XBOX One via the PS4...

Edit #2:
Also if anyone out there doesn't have cable this is a good option as I have noticed zero lag when using this setup.

Really? When the new consoles came out, I heard numerous reports that hooking up another game console to the XB1's HDMI-in wasn't viable for most games because it added a lot of lag. Did they fix that in a system update or something?

On the PC front, I'm looking forward to when the drivers are released for the PC so I can play XIV with the XB1 controller as it is the best one on the market (IMO). That's the only thing I can't do right now with my current setup.

Man you're not lying about this part. The Xbone controller completely destroys every other controller on the market. Its the best controller since the gamecube, IMO.

MS allowed XI to be played with no monthly fee, an then afterwards said that they would never allow another company to do the same thing, an SE did not agree. Hence the reason we are allowed the work around on ps3/4 an not required to have psn+.

First, if I recall correctly, FFXI on XBOX 260 doesn't even use the XBOX servers and such for playing and updates, but is handle outside/around the system. This means MS have no control over updates on FFXI.
Secondly, all free-to-play games like DC online or warframe and FFXIV doesn't require it either on PS4(Think this counts for all MMOs on PS4)
One of the reasons for this is that updates would normally have to be checked by Sony's own team before they are uploaded to the system, for a MMO like FFXIV this would delay the update for some time and also quick fixes would take longer and each update would cost money. By doing this outside the system they can avoid these problems.

And all credibility goes out the window.

If Yoshida wants to put ARR on XBone, it'll have to be on its own server. You also cannot have a XBone without Kinect, Kinect is XBone.

Forecast: M$ backpedaling with a chance of lawls.

Server part is true, the Kinect part is not. MS now offers an XB1 without the Kinect. Not that I'll still buy MS's media server (with a side of gaming).

I don't know how true this statement is, only because FFXI runs on Xbox 360, and it's connected to the same servers as PCs and PS2s. There must be something else to it.

MS changed their policy a few years later that games can only run on their service. Which is pretty much why FFXI is the only MMO on the system.

I would rather see DX11 w/ high res textures before we see another port to a console.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how a "master" race of hunchbacks with carpal tunnel is something to be glorified...

Actually we all have free Global Gym memberships provided w/ the purchase of a gaming pc. This allows us to combat the "hunchback" and "carpal tunnel" you spoke of.

This I don't know, because I heard the same thing and seeing on IGN they did it with the Wii U and Super Mario 3D World. Where they showed off the game on the TV and on the Gamepad. I think that there might be some lag, and I haven't tried it for anything but FFXIV, but I think there might be some trouble with a fighting game for example. If I end up getting another game for the PS4 I'll give that a shot as well.

When I press a button it feels instant on the TV for me with XIV, so it's possible that Microsoft did fix the lag in TV, that or the lag was a bug do to it being a new system, and their other updates have only improved the system performance.

I really wish I would have tested this with my Wii U while I still had it, but I traded that in for the PS4. :S
