Sony Reverses Stance on CrossPlay - Can we get an update on FFXIV for Xbox?

You do realize the main reason no Xbox with this game is because Microsoft has not changed their stance on wanting their own servers right?
No FFXIV on Xbox was never because of Sony....

They had never changed their stance on this. Not sure where you are getting info from. SE has had multiple meetings with MS and are no further ahead.

I'm afraid we're going to have to disagree on your point there. Microsoft shifted over two years ago to the cross-play model and said they would love for FFXIV to come to the platform, which reversed the previous stance of them running on their own servers. Examples of this are Minecraft, Fortnite, and more.

You are correct, that was their stance originally, however, over the last two or more years, the focus has been that Sony has been blocking this... (there are other policies that could also be blocking this within Microsoft, but we haven't been inlighted to what they are).

Phil Spencer has gone on record saying he wants cross-play, to play together and FFXIV on Xbox.

I am not talking about other games because i can admit Sony has put up a barrier put regarding FFXIV like i said Ms never ever changed their stance wanting their own servers. They have had 3 meetings between MS and SE that i know of and it never went anywhere.
Dualshockers had covered it at the time and i have a friend that works at SE

Thanks, if that is true and the case, then MS is flat out wrong, and I support Yoshi-P... However, if that's the case, I'd love to hear that from Yoshi-P that way we can put pressure on Microsoft for this wrong idea when it comes to FFXIV.

Just as a reference, different sites have this as the last update from Yoshi-P: https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/...-producer-says
