Microsoft has changed their policies. This game would have to support live-chat and in the past, have kept separate servers for many cross platform games. I honestly don't know why Final Fantasy 11 is the exception to this practice.

I don't think the console market outside of Japan is too keen on accepting monthly subscriptions for one game. The train of thought that I've seen is "I already paid for the game, I have to pay after 30 days? I don't have to do that for game X, Y, or Z."

And while you don't have to explain subscription fees to me, this seemed rampid in FF fans when 11 came out (hard drive withheld) and presented itself with Dc Universe.

Speaking of chat support, is there a way to get that xbox chat pad to work on pc?
