What are you going on about?

Have you seen the way players on Xbox act?

I think they'll fit right in.

(un)fortunately so :P one of the most toxic things will be ps4 players vs xbox players and when i say players i mean children

I’ve also heard about nasty things said over PSN/Discord, what’s your point? Some sort of console racism?

I have formed the opinion that MS may indeed be up to something. Considering the Xcloud service being made available on Nintendo Switch makes me think that perhaps MS is trying to penetrate in the JP market where they've traditionally been quite pathetic. Scoring the FF catalog is certainly a step in that direction.

That’s a rumor not officially announced

Yea one of my friends was telling me about but I actually can't find anything more recent. Might've just been jumping the gun

Either way... MS is probably trying to gain a foothold in Japan

They said 2020 so it's possible to avoid being bogged with a last gen issue they might bring out FFXIV with the new Xbox due next year aka "Project Scarlet". Newer ones are like scaled down PC's anyways thanks to AMD being the one suppliying the hardware so win win for all involved.

Hopefully they'll use some of their newfound income to add add-on support and an optional 4K texture pack for the PCMR.

To be honest the modding community already has some high quality mods that improves the textures and graphics like hair and eyes already but in terms of terrain and such right now I think there's a limit to how much extra data can be added to the game. Gonna be a wait and see of course but honestly the game NEEDS some new textures, I know the original FFXIV had issues for being too demanding on hardware at the time for having too much detail but we are encountering issues now where armor and equipment at least as I'm concerned are becoming serious eyesores with many items having glaring pixelation that really could do with an upgrade in texture detail at least.

On one hand, it'll be bringing more players to the game. On the other...it'll inevitably mean more work to ensure that each new content patch is up to scratch and ready to release on an additional platform. Hopefully we won't be bound by any further limitations to the point where we cannot see an update to the character customisation system, for example.

My main concern is that the development team are already stretched thin and the additional legal work and testing will put an even heavier burden atop their shoulders.

PC can also make the limitation hence there r requirement.

They said 2020

That's regarding the other games coming to Game Pass, not FFXIV, which is planned to come "at a later date."

Not necessarily 100% true. One of the best JRPG's of all time was an xbox exclusive: Lost Odyssey. Granted that was back in the 360 era, but I played the heck out of it. There are also quite a few other JRPG games on the XB1 due to its backwards compatibility. Games like Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, ect. I would bet there are more players interested than people give credit for.

I mean well those games you listed flopped hard sale wise and during the later life span of the 360's era, fewer JRPG exclusives were being released on the 360, to the point where I don't even think they had anymore console exclusive JRP's near its end, and that pattern seemed to have permeated to the XBOX ONE. Microsoft consoles have never been the place for JRPG's(exclusives ones no less.)
