Xbox one FF14 not coming anytime soon

[Kosmos992k]

Regardless of that, they're not going to overhaul the game when PS3 support is dropped.

Clearly they won't. My point was not that the XB1 would be incapable of running the game as is, but rather that it would represent more of a liability than PS4 would in the longer run. However, in the longer run, all platforms age and all older or lower spec platforms become a liability in the end.

But if by the time we get to 4.0 or 5.0 there is a new generation of console hardware and MS relents in it's policies we could easily see the new version of the game on newer hardware with a wider audience. That would be the ideal outcome in my mind, because more players = more life = more subs = better game. If MS changed their mind and SE shipped FFXIV on XB1 by Christmas, it would be a great thing IMHO, for the reason I outlined above, more players is a good thing. So long as you get those additional players without fragmenting the players by platform.

Probably because xbot cannot even run the game properly, lol
Joking aside truth is it was microsoft themselves the reason that the game is not on the console, not SE

Online gaming baxck then was still in early stages. remember this was roughly 2006 the iphone didn't exist yet.

Ha. Haha. Ahahahahaha. That was funny.

Kids these days, sheesh! I've been playing online games since 1995, and online games go waaay back if you count BBS MUDs. In 1995, a program came into wide usage in the gaming world called Kali95 that transformed IPX into TCP/IP, tricking LAN games like Warcraft II into thinking various people on the internet were really on a LAN. I played an absurd amount of Warcraft II with it, along with a bunch of Descent, Duke Nukem 3D, and eventually Quake 2. And then there was Gamespy aimed at FPSs (specifically Quake 1, but I mostly used it later on for Half Life and Counter Strike (Beta)), and then eventually Battle.net for Starcraft.

The first graphical, 3D MMORPG was probably Meridian 59, which also came out in 1995.


But yeah, gaming online on the XBOX360 was terrible because of the XBOX Gold lockout. My girlfriend at the time and I had to get Gold on both of our accounts just so we could play Borderlands 2 with my roommate whose TV was in the same room as mine and on the same network connection, just because he was on a different console =\ Before she had Gold, when it was just me with Gold, I could play with her on the same console, or with him over the network, but not with both at once, if I'm remembering correctly. If we tried, it would complain that her account wasn't authorized to play online games.

Cause its the ONE Console to rule them all. Just kidding hehe
The name is annoying as its hard to know if a person is talking about the Original Xbox or the new one. I hope the next name isnt Xbox36One

That was their actual reason, initially, xD. This was back when they stuffed all the DRM nonsense in it.

I don't see any reason for them to make a Xbox version. By now, it would just be a waste of time and money.

Someone made a comment on one of those new articles that XIV not on xbox one cause PSN is inferior guess they should a little research and find out that SE runs their own servers.

I still think they should have called it something else. Xbox 720 would have made more sense than Xbox One despite their reasoning. I still have friends who have the original Xbox that think it is the Xbox One....

Kids these days, sheesh!

Didn't realise 30 years old meant i was a kid >.>;; or that it was cool to chuckle at one line of my post. May want to read the thread infull to realise the topic is about ff14 on the xbox one, and reason microsoft had ff11 on the 360 with silver only as it was brough up. Both my posts was refering to microsofts words on the matter as it was infact asked. And that one line you lovely giggled at and felt the need to "correct" was refering to console online gaming only.

and protip, make sure you read the full thread to grasp the context of a thread ad each post ingeneral before "correcting" someone incorrectly which inturn makes you look bad.


tldr: im not a kid, i know the internet itself has been around since early aol, and my post was about console online gaming not pc gaming.

by this reasoning they should get rid of the PS4 support as well since its specs are nearly identicle to the XB One

No they aren't, Xbox one has gimp specs, its why its doing poorly in sales to begin with they low balled the system.

Which was there mistake because of their red ring of death fiasco and wanted to gain trust, they should of made their system a power house and well they fell short and that wasn't the only thing, the price, the way they were handling their games with downloaded cd's and they become useless no sharing, which was a huge mistake.

And the name should of been called the X-1 get rid of the box.

Last but not least, the only reason they started to get sales, is they dropped the price and added backwards compatible though Sony says they cant do that with ps4, I am sure they can and if X-1 started to get the jump on we would probably see a slim model backwards compat with price drop.

the specs of the system are never a factor here.
the reason the sales are/were poor(though I suspect not as poorly as you think) is because of the DRM BS and the supposid requirement for Kinect to always be on. yes MS recinded on this but still, people feel Microsoft lied to them and lost trust in them.
second take a better look at those specs they aren't as gimp as you think they are. both the PS4 and XB-1 have midrange PC specs that are infact close enough that the few tiny advantages of the PS4 mean very little. it is the games that make the biggest difference. in the end if MS managed to get the best exclusives on their system they would have taken the lead despite what you think.

the price drop came from them removing Kinect from the package. it was deemed by the guy who took over the xbox team the accessory itself was too expensive with too little support. though adding backward compatibility was a smart move I'm sure even you can agree with.

what you make yourself out with your post is a fanboi. fanboi's are pretty much gullible morons, in most cases they actually believe the company cares about them. I have news for you. the only reason sony does anything is for money. they couldn't care less about you.

anyway this isnt a PS4 vs XB-1 thread.

Apple has that area covered more then Microsoft or Sony do.
