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

XB1 is weaker than the PS4. PS4 is more game-centric, XB1 is more multimedia-centric.

Oh boy... more limitations.

Sorry I need object to this idea as op is outdate ^^;

Xbox1 sold extremely poor in Japan, now it just wants more ppl on their sinking ship to help.
There will be no benefit or advantage to this game and it's players.

I support YoshiP to be smart and DON'T look back to M$!

Well recent estimates put Xbox One sales at roughly 20 million units, so if even 1/4 of those sales are active users, putting FFXIV on Xbox One (even more so if it gets featured on the front page of their store), is at least advertisement to over 5 million people. Why would you pass that up? The advantage would be even more players to play with, more money being pumped into SE, which could equal more developers, more content, and overall, a better experience for all players.

The disadvantages of the Xbox One vs PS4 are largely exaggerated, yes, the PS4 is better in a lot of ways, but the Xbox One is hardly a lacking console, and could run FFXIV almost as well as PS4. If anything, the lower-end PCs are the only thing holding the game back if the PS3 is removed from the equation, not the current-gen consoles.

Yep! And also, Xbox runs windows, PC runs windows. Hopefully it's that simple. Having this game come out on XB1 would benifit more, then it would hurt. And you're 100% right, after PS3, low end PCs will be the limitting factor before these consoles will be. And if Phil Specner is talking about XB1 being a platform that is upgraded over time, then it really is becoming a PC (X)(Steam)(Box) for your TV.

And to note, that while this tread is currently talking about XB1, I also want to see it for NX, and any other new platforms that come out where it would be awesome to have this game.

Why do you keep resurrecting this thread? The problem with an XBone release is not, nor will ever be Square's fault. It is all about Microsoft and their want for Gold Live functionality (complete with Gold Live price). The NX won't be an issue at all as Nintendo is practically down the street and Japanese companies love to work together, happens all the time. I mean, as an example, Square and Capcom did a collaboration in Monster Hunter and neither company seemed the worse for it and Capcom didn't pitch a fit nor even batted an eye over Final Fantasy Explorers. The problem is, and likely forever be, an XBone release being marred by the insistence on Gold Live to work.

To OP: no thanks, cross platform play already holds this game back from being way better than it could be already by catering to the limitations of shit-tier consoles.
