Is Microsoft or Sony holding up a Xbox One version at this point?

No offense, but I can't fathom anyone wanting to do a full job rotation, let's say DRG on this thing:

When they can use something far easier and probably more comfortable to grip like this thing.

You know there are people crazy enough to try it right. And I was thinking more with the screen connected to the joycons, rather than separated like that. XIV OTG if you will.

That's gotta hurt your neck though and strain your eyesight, I imagine...constantly staring down at this smaller screen instead of a TV or monitor and trying to see where AOE's are going to hit you while looking where mechanics are.

I already have the former problem with the way my desk is set up. It's not designed for triple monitors at all. But, I'd do some of the lighter stuff myself on it if I had the Switch. Crafting and gathering. But let's face it, having the option there (if the console can handle the game without adding more limitations) would be great. Even if it isn't ideal. Plus, I believe Smash Ultimate is another game that'll require the pro controller that I believe you were hinting at for optimal play, if this game would also require it. But it'd definitely be playable even without the pro controller I'd say, from a controller standpoint.

I haven't played anything on Switch, but from what my friends say it's OTG setup is not that comfortable. I stream to my PS Vita occasionally but the controls are a bit wonky (like you have to use the rear touchpad to mimic R1/R3 and L1/L3) and overall it's not that comfortable, especially not for extended play. And my friends that said that about the Switch also added that the Vita was actually more comfortable. So, grains of salt for the Joycons. Playable? Sure. Enjoyable? Probably not so much

I'd say its a combination of Microsoft not playing nice with exclusive servers for xbox players and how poorly the Xbox as a brand does in Japan. There were times when even the Vita sold better than the Xbone and that says something. Though I think Xbox as a brand can never make it in Japan because they simply fail to understand that demographic. This generation just seems to exacerbate the whole, FPS, realistic monotone color palette for exclusives. PS4 goes from bloodborne to killzone to uncharted to horizone zero dawn and to gravity rush 2. Color and music is very important in a game and espeically to the Japanese but I'm afraid very few western developers understand that.

Only thing western developers seem to understand lately is loot boxes make them money.

I dunno its literrally the same thing to me. I do own a PS4, but i use a xbox 360 like controller and i play on a 360 controller on PC, I do use my swich a lot too and tbh, i really wished i could at least stream FF14 to it and use the controller for stuff like eureka or crafting.

I do hate the PS layout, cant live with the stick in the middle and the D pad(?) on the left xD

Next gen consoles are going to start coming out at the end of next year. Maybe just wait till then so the game is more future proof. Give PS4 owners a free transfer over to PS5. Switch will just limit what this game can do in the future.

Microsoft is. Microsoft will not remove the xbox live requirements to play FFXIV.

Sony does not require PS+ to play FFXIV as well as several other MMOs outside of ESO

This is blocking them from even talking about crossplay with Sony for FFXIV.

Do you have a source, because I've heard different when it relates to other games... I wish we could get some word from Yoshi-P, because if it is still on Microsoft, it would help to know where to go apply pressure. But for reference, ESO got an exception before it went Free to Play.

Its old, but I think Yoshi states it again at a interview before the 1st fan fest. But this article still has relevance due to Microsoft Online policies.

ESO is the only MMO on playstation that requires PS+ so you cannot use ESO as a representation.
