FF14 possibly coming to XBox-1!?

[Delmontyb]

Given I have a character on Balmung and I'm an Xbox user (Xbox 360, Xbox One, I'm a universal Windows platform developer, hence the Xbox One), I suppose she should unsubscribe now right? For the record, I love my Xbox, but I play FFXIV on PC currently.

I enjoy both my XBOX and my Playstation, my PC too... I'm very blessed to be able to play games on any platform that I want because I have a job that pays well, and a wonderful wife who likes to play video games with me...

So I'm with you, I hope that we'll see this game come to the XB1, for all those who can't have every gaming system. I have a lot of friends on XB1 who want to play but don't have a PC that can run this game, or a PS4.

Also, I believe I read somewhere that ESO when it was going to require a subscription was going to be on XB1 and allow online play with just Silver access, so if that's true, hopefully it's just a matter of time before we hear something from SE. I know I'll be buying another copy for my wife and I on XB1...

Microsoft CEOs changed a few times between FF11 and now, so whoever was in charge of the company back when FF14 was new probably was against the idea of cross platform play.

IIRC only reason XI was allowed on XB360 without gold sub was due to the lack of Online games on the platform at that time. Today this is changed

Why? Because you have irrational preconceptions of what an Xbox user is like?

Because they support that weird controller that has reversed Nintendo buttons. Those stupid buttons ruined my PC gaming experiences when they pop on my screen telling me to press some button and I thought they're Nintendo buttons. I hate Microsoft.

sounds like a personal problem - so you just never got used to them?

...and played Burnout Paradise on his PS3 along side Xbox360 players and is still wondering why this is considered ground breaking news.

Are you sure this happened?

I'm just interested if PS and MS ever had a game where cross-platform multiplayer was allowed between the two before.
I never played Burnout Paradise myself, but everything I Google about it says that cross-platform multiplayer was not allowed and that PS3 users could only play with PS3 users and 360 players could only play with 360 players. Stuff about making sure to buy the version with "whoever your friends list is bigger" for on PS3 or Xbox because you wouldn't be able to play together.

Was it maybe a different game?

I chose not to get used to them. I play Nintendo games sometimes and I'd rather get used to Nintendo buttons. Thanks god many PC games have PS buttons mod.

FFXI was PS2 and PC and Xbox 360.

Good for SE. They got 190k more users by releasing the X360 version then they have to continue supporting this version for years.

Wasn't it a good lesson for them? Still want to bring FFXIV to the Bone? Hey if you don't want to bring new games to the PS Vita because of business reason then you shouldn't even think about XIV on the Bone. FFXV and KH3 should be cancelled for the Xbone as well. If I'm their CEO I'll finalize my order right now.

You know, I honestly can't say. It was so long ago now I can't actually remember with certainty. I was deep into their forum which included players from all platforms, and Criterion kept PS3 and 360 versions more or less in lock step with updates. It's possible I am mis-remembering due to talking about various aspects of the games with players from both platforms.

I'll edit my comment(s) to remove that element.

Done in my comment above, and I added this note about Rocket League...
Edit: It's interesting to note that PS4 and PC players already play together on Rocket league. The lack of a single central player ID/Account prevents some elements of partying up from being cross platform, but the matchmaking is. So, when Xbox One players get there, they'll run into PS4 players as well.

Ha ha, good point. I should have figured that one out
