Support Yoshi-P's efforts to bring XIV to as many platforms as possible. :)

Finally I can dust off my Commodore 64 lol

It's kind of sad to think that today's high school Freshmen have never known a world without DVDs... Betamax still existed when I was little lol I feel old...

XIV FOR BETAMAX!!

Scarily enough, my oldest DVD (Tim Burtons Batman, double sided DVD) is roughly 20 years old. Yes it still plays.

On-topic: current gen consoles are essentially PCs anyway, so converting to the XBone should be a non-issue. If MS wants it of course (already covered in this thread).

Again, FFXI made its way on X-Box 360 with far less active players than FFXIV

FFXI on the 360 was an exception though rather than the rule - MS allowed it to be ported because they were trying to increase the sales of the 360 in Japan and needed a high-profile Japanese game to woo players, and because FFXI was already a PC title, it would have been relatively simple to bring it to the 360. However it didn't help the 360's flagging sales in Japan and so I guess Microsoft is just reluctant to take that risk again, even though FFXIV is considerably more successful than FFXI ever was. But I digress..

Really though, I'm quite happy to see the game on other platforms - if it raises the profile of the game and helps keep player populations steady then it's only a good thing.

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.

Well said.

so more patches can be delayed? no thanks we already had delays due to ps4 and and china releases.

The current schedule seems to be going along smoothly. Plus you forget bigger audience bigger budget. The reality would be mire to faster updates and or more content. I really hope the game takes off in China as well as that would be great for the whole game.

You don't have to take my word for it but Xbox One's reveal spoke for itself.

Microsoft only cares about big numbers. To Microsoft 2 million is not impressive yet 5 million will make them reconsider and 10 million is a number they are forced to acknowledge.

If Yoshida really wants it on Microsoft's platform then he's really gonna have to consider making FFXIV 10 Million active players strong.

Where do these numbers come from? To compare XIV already beat XI in terms of the user base. I think both MS and SE benefit from XIV on X1. I hope Phill Spencer will see it that way as well.

Indeed. There is exactly one MMO that has broken 5 mil in the last 10 years and that was a statistical anomaly and not an industry standard.

FFXIV for ATARI or Riot!

16 bit FFXIV has already proven to be the best FFXIV design.
