FFXIV On Xbox1

[jameseoakes]

If all that is true, then why isnt XIV on the xbox yet? The platform already exists. therefore, it MUST be something on Microsofts end preventing it from happening.

Oh wait.

Its this clause from your link that prevents XIV from happening.

Of course, it’s up to game developers to support this feature, and Xbox Live players will always have the option of choosing to play only with other Xbox Live players.

Well that's it for 14 ever coming to Xbox

As far I know, Microsoft demands two things: First, servers only for XBOX players (not cross platform PC, PS4, PS3 with XBOX1). And second, the requirement of XBOX live (that mean pay for live and also pay for the game sub), that's totally crazy.

they tried that back with 11 when 11 was cross platformed with xbox360 pc and ps2. SE said no to xboxlive being coneected ot a paywal lfor their sub game so they closed the xbox accounts and offered then free transfers to ps2 or pc like they do with ps3 to ps4 since ps3 is being phased out. as long as MS requires xboxlive and demands their own servers. FFXIV will never ever be on Xbox

To be fair: ID@XBox is mostly for indies.

Big studios can sit down at the table with MS and negotiate deals. SquareEnix is in a very strong position to negotiate things, and being the underdog, I would not be shocked if MS was willing to make big exceptions to get the title running on XB1. During the 360 lifetime, the only game ever to play outside Xbox Live was Final Fantasy XI.

You've got no evidence of that Sony is holding it back.

Except Yoshi-P said they are still being roadblocked by Microsoft in their talks. And the servers are owned and operated by SE, Sony has no actual control over the game and no real connection to it other than the license check when you go to initially start the game.

That tweet just says MS would love to have FFXIV. That doesn't mean that Sony is holding them up.

This video says MS is the hold up and not Sony. ( Yoshi-P )

Still doesn't show Sony is blocking it, the anecdotal evidence we seem to have suggests that Microsoft's won't budge on SE's red lines.
