Looks like Phil Spencer wants to see this happen - https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/709480925038391296
"He tweeted that he would love to see FF14 on XBOX One."

It's been a long while since I've posted anything on this topic, with an interview Phil Spencer gave to IGN about this topic back in September, he pretty much shot the idea of XIV coming to the XBOX anytime soon down, and shifted focus on their games collection coming this past Fall/Winter.

However, today they announced that Rocket League would allow for Cross Platform play right now with PC but with other platforms in the future. http://www.polygon.com/2016/3/14/112...play-announced

From his recent comments, this sounds like the last issue holding FFXIV back from the XB1 might finally be resolved.

Just thought I would share, crossing my fingers that we'll see this happen this year.

I'm curious with the new Windows 10 info from the Microsoft's conference yesterday (1/21/2015) if that might have any impact on bringing FFXIV over to the Xbox One. If they are allowing for cross platform play to the PC, hopefully they will change their minds about having XIV on the system. That and that the XB1 will be running windows 10, so perhaps their will be a way we can just install the PC version directly. (that would be crazy if they let us do that)

Anyway, we haven't heard any new info about that, didn't know if there was an official position from the devs.

Thanks so much.

[Original]
An article on Massively brought hope yet that we will see Final Fantasy XIV branch out to other platforms. I've been a big supporter of this idea for quite some time, and regardless of your opinion, having XIV brought to more platforms is good for the game.

That being said, this sounds like great news, and with Microsoft's new feedback site our voice could be louder then ever. We have two active ways to voice your support to Microsoft.

Change.org
1. http://www.change.org/petitions/phil...shared-servers


or Microsoft's feedback site
2. https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/25...mes-like-final

Hopefully Microsoft will wise up and we will see Final Fantasy XIV brought to the X1. Please let your voice be heard and support Yoshi-P


********** Update 7/1/2014 ************

In regards to our petition on change.org https://www.change.org/petitions/phi...shared-servers we are only needing 23 more before they send it over to Microsoft, and as for our feedback.xbox.com idea, https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/25...mes-like-final is up to 204 votes.

Please keep the support up.

********** Update 7/9/2014 ************

Just an update on our progress:

Feedback.xbox.com merged my original post with another post for cross platform play: https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/25...rm-multiplayer and has several more votes. Now sitting at 1288.

********** Update 8/16/2014 **********

We are still making progress. In the latest interview on Duel Shockers http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/08/...and-much-more/ Yoshi-P reiterated that they are still talking with Microsoft, and that our support is needed if we want to see this game ported to that platform.

Just an update on our number:

1. For change.org petition we just need 14 more signatures.
2. For the Cross Platform Support on Xbox Feedback, they are up to 1754 votes
3. And for the FFXIV port on Feedback, they are up to 176 Votes

There are other feedback options for FFXIV on Xbox One on those sites as well, #2 was all about FFXIV and cross platform and was merged with another cross platform feedback request.

Even if you don't plan to own an X1, or don't care for Microsoft, please vote, provide feedback and support Yoshi-P.

Thanks,

I don't think final fantasy can play well on a VCR, but I could be wrong. I rather see ff14 come to the wii-u at least then you can use the game pad as a touchpad for the ui. Plus you can still have 720p.

[NovaUltimatum]

So long as the game is not "limited by less powerful hardware", I'm happy to support diverse access.

Agree about the Wii U. However, one issue is storage space. Another miss-step by Nintendo IMO. But yes, the game would play well on the gamepad.

good thing they made it so you can hook up an external hd then. The harddrive on it is smaller to keep costs low, not everyone uses a lot of storage.

I want XIV on VCR, now! PETITION!

On topic, I don't really care if it goes to Xbox One or not, they're the ones playing hardball about no cross-platform gaming allowed. A Realm Reborn has been a bigger success than most people saw coming, SE should just wait for Microsoft to come to them rather than vice versa. They're the ones missing out.

If Microsoft doesn't want to share servers and sell more consoles, too bad for them.
FF14 is doing fine without them. I don't care about convincing them to change their minds,
thats their own fault.

[yahhzoo]

I highly doubt Microsoft will change their policy on shared servers. It would be cool if they did change their minds because I am sure that would bring in a ton of new players to FFXIV.

[KokonoeAiyoko]

I'd love for this to come out on Wii U.

Attempting to convince them otherwise has no side effect and if they did add support the game would be more successful, meaning more money for SE meaning better updates and more players to play with. I feel trying is definitely worth it regardless of what you feel of Microsoft and their policies, it's why people want to change them.

[Ketsuyame]

Coming to XB1? Doubt it. Not just with MS "no cross server" policy, but also look at their demographic. Did you not see E3? SHOOTERS!


The XB1 is the de facto for shooter bros. They tried to coax the rpg crowd years ago with Tales of, Lost Odyessey, Eternal Sonata & more.. But to no avail. They know where their core audience is. So don't count on it. Besides. Ps4 is better anyway. *grabs flame resistant shield*
