Final Fantasy XIV running on XBOX One via the PS4...

[Delmontyb]

There's not point to an MMO if you cannot play with everyone else. If you only have an Xbox1 and you want to play with your friends on PS4 then you're screwed unless Microsoft wises up and lets FFXIV play on SE servers instead of Microsoft servers. I prefer the SE way to the Xbox only club.

Yep! This.

I created another thread for support to bring XIV to X1 without having to have MS only FFXIV servers, thus allowing us to all continue to play together. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-possible.-%29

A relatively small portion of the FFXIV player base would even be in a position to play this game on the X1, and even the total number of players currently actively playing would be relatively small compared the the number of people using Xbox Live. Microsoft won't take notice of the petition because if they thought FFXIV was going to lose them significant sales, they would already have taken a look at their policies when FFXIV was first announced.

Its simply not going to happen. Argue among yourselves all you want, and perhaps even call me defeatist. Do what you will, but the reality is Microsoft won't do anything more to address this purely on a whim to please FFXIV players.

I'm quoting this, so if this changes, I'll refer back.

There is a considerable amount of input lag when doing this.... I dont even know WHY you are doing this if you already have the console to play it on just fine.....

false, new sales dont have an option to not have the Kinect

What are you talking about? It was announced during E3 that they would be selling the console without the Kinect for $100 cheaper. I would give you a source but google has hundreds of them so have at er.

You must have not seen the news in may and as of June 9th, they sell the X1 for $399 without the Kinnect for those who don't want it.

I can say that this is not true, at least as I have said before, not true for me. I can not tell any input lag, and even if there was a slight about, it doesn't impact game play in the least. This could be based off my setup, but that's why they need to bring the game to the X1 so users who can't do this, could play on the X1 if they wished.

Oddly one of the only exceptions to this policy is the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XI which shares the same servers as the PC and PS2 players.

And Microsoft made absolutely no money on it, and that's why they dug their feet in the sand when it came to this game. You know what else? They were mostly right - mostly. At the beginning it would have been a disaster for them since even the playstation version was delayed so many times. Now? It might gain more in popularity but we're still talking about a western console with a still very asian grindy game. It's just not Microsoft's target audience with their console, and what players DO want to use it can easily do so on a Microsoft Windows PC.

So, I don't see this ever happening tbh, not unless Yoshi pulls another miracle out and somehow surpasses WoW subscribers. Then M$ might give it another look.

Serious question....why Microsoft doesn't want their Xbox 1 players playing alongside with PC/PS3/PS4 users?
They are afraid/bad publicity from players complaining of having to pay for their xbox live account + FF account (while the others only pay one?) or they fear their console could have performance issues going head to head with players using a PC/PS?

Ish. They did a study once regarding FPS and the disparity between PC players and console players. The PC players slaughtered the console players every single time, and for good reason. KB+Mouse is superior in every way. There is no argument for that. You can PREFER a controller over a keyboard and mouse and that's your PREFERENCE, but you will still always be stomped in FPS or PvP by someone using a KB+Mouse. This is a fact that their study confirmed.

So this is their reasoning behind that little tidbit, anyway. I'm not saying its particularly relevant to 90% of the content in XIV - but there is still a distinct line between the console crowd and the controller crowd and I can pick out a controller user within a few seconds of watching them move around.

For me, I'd *like* to see it come to xbox, but I'm not going to hold my breath. It's on *a* console and that's probably good enough for the JP playerbase and the percentage of NA playerbase that actually wants to play on a console. The rest can get the same experience from a PC and an xbox 360 controller for Windows. That's what I do when I feel like lying on the couch.

So the options are:

Play the game on PC
Play the game on PS4
Play the game on Xbox One with your PS4 running through it

I don't see the point :/

As can I. On my PC.

I use apps when playing on my ps4 as well :P smart phone :P
