Yoshi-P says discussions about FFXIV on Switch and Xbox One are "Positive"

I don't think Microsoft will allow it. They did with FFXI after a long time, yet it didn't go that well.

MS is actually very open nowadays to Crossplat, it's sony that doesn't like it.

I don't care if it goes to the current gen on Xbox; however, it needs to stay away from the switch. Switch is comparable to the previous gen ps3 and 360 in terms of power. And support for the ps3 version of XIV has ended for good reasons.. limitations. Why the hell should they reintroduce those self same limitations they just got rid of?

Again, Xbox sure. Switch no.

Honestly I hope they phase consoles out completely....Yes I am selfish but I wonder what FFXIV could truly be if they didn't have to deal with the console limitations to begin with.

While that is nice there won't be any cross platform if it happens. As stated before, Sony and MS tried to get along at one point but both sides decided to snub the other. First MS then Sony. While playing on Consoles is nice for some folk, I don't see MMOs lasting long on it. PS3 already went out and those FF XIV users had to carry over to PS4 or PC. Consoles seem to be having shorter and shorter lifespans. The days of the PS2 era where games and consoles lasted us a long time has faded. Technology keeps updating rapidly. Heck my computer which was top of the line in 2016 is suddenly becoming mid tier. That frightens me at how fast things upgrade.

I don't mind the Switch but I do agree that it's very gimmicky. Nintendo just wants to be different and innovated but it seems they are doing it without actually thinking it through. I mean look what happened to the Wii U. That one didn't last long compared to the Wii and Gamecube. Nintendo is for a niche audience. They know people are going to buy their consoles for the newest Zelda and Mario game. When I heard that the Dark Souls remaster was coming for the Switch with an exclusive Solaire Amiibo, I just sort of rolled my eyes. FF XIV doesn't have to be on the Switch but a FF game would be nice on it.

Please dear god no.... it's already a shame that so many limitations were set in place thanks to them launching on the PS3. I really don't want to have any further limitations thanks to the Switch. :/

If they really are thinking of doing this then I want my Dragon Quest X game released overseas already gosh darn it! 8T I've been waiting for YEARS for that game; GIMME ALREADY!!!

Of course they're open to it these days, they're behind Sony they stand to gain from cross-play whilst Sony stands only to lose. Same reason why Microsoft refused back in day when Sony wanted cross-play between PS3/360 when Sony was behind X360 they Microsoft didn't want do it cause only Sony would gained from it.

Last I heard, MS was OK with windows/xbox cross platform, but was still totally not OK with the idea of xbox players interacting with playstation players. A difference from their originally stance of no crossplay at all, but still not quite on FFXIV's level.

Has this changed?
