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

I would jump ship to the Wii U in a heartbeat (PS3 player here). Although I don't have the lag/rendering issues most PS3 users do (SSD FTW!), it would be sweet to have use of the Wii U gamepad. Plus it would just look and play better.

I can imagine SE making good use of the touchscreen as well. Inventory management, extra hot bars, keyboard (obviously), full screen map and whatever else they could think of.

Make it happen SE.

The hardware is so similar that if we ignore any of the loopholes SE might have to jump through to release an MMORPG on the console, it should be a relatively easy feet that involves only a bare minimum of fine tuning.

That and Windows is still a Microsoft platform, and they use a lot of the kernel for X1, while I'm not positive, I would venture a guess that SE already has it up and running on the X1. I could see, based off the interview, and their talk regarding the 1st expansion, that Microsoft would hold off until the expansion is released to have it put together as one game. I hope that isn't the case.

From everything Yoshi-P has said, it looks like the ball is in MS's court.

I've been playing on PC with the X1 controller, and am loving it. Would love to take this into my living room as well.

Itd probably just be a waste of money. Doesnt Microsoft require you to pay both XBLGold and the sub to play? Then there is the whole server thing. Its really MS's fault and as much as Id like SE to have a bigger player pool, I also think the less support MS gets the better.

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

To be totally honest, I find myself not even supporting FFXIV on the PS3 or PS4. The reason being is it slows down development time on content as they try to get it to work on three platforms. We're not seeing what FFXIV is truly capable of because of console limitations. Adding more platforms such as the Xbox 1 or even WiiU is making that even worse. If these console manufacturers could make their consoles with better hardware, then we wouldn't have this issue.

I respect your opinion but I do feel the pros outweigh the cons. And besides 1.0 wasn't on any console and 2.0 is, and far surpasses what 1.0 could have ever been IMO.

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.

I'm not a fan because as was said above, it does slow down production of new content AND it limits what content we can eventually have since all platforms need to play the same content.

On top of that, buying all those licenses...gross. People already shell out enough money to go from either the console to PC or vice versa. Don't need to throw any more money in that direction since SE doesn't even make that much from it.

I love how PC people assume every PC out there is gaming worthy. A basic off the shelf PC is not going to play the game any better than a PS4. Each PC is only as superior as it's built.

That all depends on how the game is designed, where the client ends up just being a presentation layer, thus not requiring as many resources as people assume.

Even if it required more resources, the sales would make up for it in the long run to have the resources hired. With the new info, that XB1 is running Win 10, I wonder how easy it would be to have it on that platform, since they both are running Windows.
