Why no Xbox?

PS4 is a computer, it can access the Internet with, or without PSN authentication. No permission from Sony is required.

consoles are closed computer you are right, but they still need permission from Sony for everything, because ultimately the plattform owner says what is allowed and whats not. You can't just legaly create an PS4 game, app or access the PSN service without permission from Sony. On pc this is different and developers can do what they want with it. The sources are out there, but since you ignored the ones i posted already, i won't post others. As with every online game on ps there is a connection to PSN ID in FF14. You can't just "access the internet" as an third party on the consoles. There are rules companies have to follow when they want to develop and release their product on a console.

Do you know why P2P doesn't work? P2P works just fine if implemented by developers on PC and PS4 - it's how Rocket league let PS4 and PC play together before now. But, not Xbox, because Xbox isn't allowed to see outside XBL. Which is a fundamental point you insist on ignoring.

PC and Xbox cross play works aswell, as the developers said, but Xbox <-> PS not. If only the developer of the game said, why this doesn't work. oh wait they did

Which is precisely what I said. connecting XBL and PSN is not simple and requires a lot of software modification, as well as contracts and terms to be agreed - you did read that bit in my post, right? But, none of that, and nothing that Yoshida said have anything what so ever to do with games like FFXIV. T

You did read my older post in which i acknowledge that in my opinion ff14 is a different case and Microsoft is at fault here? The other comments were for the situation in rocket league and some other games.

It's all pointless anyway seeing as it's not sony who's holding FFXIV back on this. Seeing as how we can already play with PC users. It's XBOX that has to get with the program and allow their users to play with everyone else. But with the way XBL works I dunno. I think Kosmos says it all perfectly more sound then I could.

Seems to be microsoft in this case, because Yoshi talked some time ago about discussions with the xbox team. http://www.polygon.com/e3/2016/6/17/...rosoft-e3-2016
In my opinion the discussion is about the one regulations they got for cross play, which forces developers to offer an option to switch "cross play" off for xbox users. This means, if ff14 would be ported that way, xbox users could choose if they want to play only with xbox or with other plattforms like pc or ps4 in this case. I don't think this is a good idea for mmo.
