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

    Or have any issues been resolved and we could potentially see a Xbox release along with 5.0?

    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.

    i think that point was dropped but they were still unmoving on removing the second pay wall subscription on top of the ffxiv subscription at least that's what i recall from the last time it was brought up.

    with the PS5 and Xbox next coming soon (if rumours are to be believed) it may be waiting to be a flagship release for the new xbox.


    another thing to note as well is the very poor reception xbox gets in the east (in 2017 in the whole of a quarter of the year only 1 xbox one x was sold in japan) so that might be something to take note as well.

    I doubt it was done for a problem that doesn't exist, but to help alleviate a known problem. (The issue being solo story instances being a massive bottleneck during the first couple of days of a newly released expansion and a massive influx of fair-weather players that are not normally present on the game.)

    This; SE doesn't want Xbox players to be paying a double subscription to play the game - one for Xbox Live and one for Final Fantasy XIV. The last time it was openly talked about from SE, this was the reason given.

    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.

    Fallout 76 requires PS+ now as well.

    Also last I heard, Microsoft also wanted Xbox exclusive servers. Not that they wanted to have their players only playing separate of PS and PC players, but they wanted to let them play with the rest of us AND have exclusive servers for their players who don't want to play with the other two platforms. This was also a sticking point for Square since they didn't want to create Xbox exclusive servers.

    I wonder if the data center split was done knowing they'd be adding another platform.
