Consider FFXIV on XBox

[Mintyfresh]

With the latest acquisition of Activision, the overall offerings provided by the Microsoft platform are looking even more attractive.
In addition, their Azure platform is going to expand their footprint in the cloud gaming market as well. They are already a force to be reckoned with in the Enterprise computing space.
I have read news articles in the past about some sort of effort to bring FFXIV to Xbox, and I'm hoping that some folks at SquareSoft are looking at the current landscape and considering expanding the market for this wonderful game to people on the Xbox.
I invested in my first console (obviously Xbox X) today. I've always owned Sony consoles and my last one was PS3 till I switched to computer gaming. With WFH due to pandemic, I've decided to invest in a console so I'm not glued to my computer.

Long story short, I hope there's an effort, it can only be good for the game.

Ehh, as much as I like XBOX, I'd rather not add more fuel to the Monoposoft bonfire.

They tried, i think microsoft wanted an xbox live subscription to be required to play since it was an online game, square enix didn't want players paying two subscriptions to play on xbox. Also i think microsoft wanted exclusivity and SE wasn't gonna do that.

I believe even before that, Microsoft was saying something along the lines of they themselves not wanting cross play with PlayStation because they couldn’t monitor the interactions

I doubt ff14 will be going to xbox. on the bright side WoW will likely be going there. lol
This will likely pressure Sony to keep ff14 playstation and pc exclusive.

Jay another console for which the PC gamers have to suffer cause ofc we play all on the same servers. Was already a pain it took an eternity to upgrade to the never playstations and cut support for the ancient models. And pc gamers not getting better graphics etc. for that reason. Adding another system for which you would have to wait...no...please no.

Actually, they've stated the hold up is potato pcs now. A significant amount of people play on systems that don't or barely meet minimum specs. Console hasn't been stated to be an issue since the PS3 was dropped.

I believe if it wasn’t for PlayStation subscribers, the game wouldn’t of lasted as long as it has. Not in the early days had it been pc subscribers only. Get over it
