Xbox one FF14 not coming anytime soon

[Jetstream_Fox]

Good. Last thing we need is ANOTHER console holding the game back (no I'm not a PC elitist but PS2 killed FF11)

Xbox One wouldn't hold the game back at all, you're mistaking it the ps3 in this case. Xbox One already has Neverwinter and give or take Warframe, these games run smoothly on the system. XIV isn't even a powerful game to run to start with, the only time this game has issues on the ps4 is when S Rank hunts pop, the Xone wouldn't be any different.

Something, something Glorious PC Gaming Master Race something. But seriously. The reason XIV isn't on XONE isn't because of hardware, it all comes down to business like Phil Spencer said. Clashing ideals and philosophies are making this not happen even though it should.

I read that already two days ago and said good and most people will say it wouldn't limit this game further, yeah it would wonder how slow content would be made if they had to do it for 4 systems.

I don't know about how they port data but don't they have their hands full with the chinese version also with different monsters?

That is a lot of work and probably a lot longer wait if xbox one got it also.

The Xbox One and PC architecture are almost virtually identical, it's pretty much a computer with a closed operating system, the and PS4 is the same thing. It would be practically effortless once they've learned how to work with the Xbox, and SE has staff that are familiar with that due to Kingdom Hearts 3 and FFXV coming to XO (makes you wonder why they don't port their games to PC, pretty much free money and people would buy it even if they were shitty ports). The PS3 on the other side uses an incredibly frustrating and still relatively "unknown" architecture so that's where the problem would be, but they've already got the game on the PS3 working and I'd imagine that porting updates is 'effortless' other than scaling the visuals to match up to the PS3's specifications.

Lower system requirements than WoW.

Let that sink in for a moment.

My God O_O how much power does it take to run that game's 1st gen cg graphics?

Rehauled with WoD.


Minimum System Requirements:

PC: Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows7/Windows8 (latest Service Pack), Intel Core2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, ATI Radeon HD 4850 or Intel HD Graphics 3000

HW:
OS: Windows Vista® 32/64bit, Windows® 7 32/64 bit, Windows® 8 32/64 bit, Windows® 8.1 32/64 bit
CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo
Memory: 2GB (4GB recommended for 64bit OS)
Available space on hard disk/SSD: 30GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA® Geforce® 8800 or higher, ATI Radeon™ HD 4770 or higher

Basically, my Athlon IIx2 and GeForce 250 GTS would run HW but was below spec for WoD.

The CPU was cutting it super close. I was sitting at 100% usage in ARR. WoW ran like shit in raids on it.

I'm not quite sure if Nadirah means FFXIV has lower sys. requirements than WoW, but while that is the case in their given requirements, FFXIV runs like ass on a crappy PC. Obviously that's a given due to WoW's age, but it's because WoW is heavily CPU reliant when you turn down the settings, while FFXIV is more GPU reliant (still quite heavy on the CPU side, but not quite as much). You can't really compare the two, but if we were to FFXIV runs much worse than WoW does on a crappy PC/Laptop. My guess is they did that because the current generation's consoles CPUs are low end PC grade, and a huge bottleneck when it comes to large scale games like WoW and or Planetside 2. Again, probably the reason we have small closed off instances rather than huge worlds. It's the reason cities in the Witcher 3 on consoles are practically deserted while on PC they're bustling. Their CPUs are incapable of handling so many characters without a huge dip in performance.

That's from my own personal experience anyway, it could vary from system to system.

The game wouldn't be limited because of an additional system. The ps3/4/pc versions are the same exact game minus a bit of graphical differences and control layout, if they got HW to be played on the ps3, which is a 8 or 9 years old, then it's a clear view that SE has the experience with tweaking the game to work within different hardware specifications, adding the Xone would be no different in this regard. The enemy data between the NTSC and PAL version of the game also wouldn't be something that would limit a new system, they'd just not include things that aren't meant or can't be included, like how the NTSC version of the game has the Gold Saucer, the Chinese version can't have it due to gambling laws and such, yet that hasn't limited the game at it's core.

The game isn't on the Xone because Microsoft is idiotic in it's thinking it's players can't coexist with Sony and PC players. They want dedicated servers for all Xbox games, it's ridiculous to say the least, not even PSU had cross server play, sad because it could probably have helped the game last a bit longer then it did.

FF14 will NEVER come too xb1 o_O

M$ is WAY to greedy!
They want you to pay for XBL-Gold AND FF14 Sub! They also want there own servers only for xb user! Wich is very stupid
