FFXIV on Xbox?

[Ekinoxe]

Pretty much. We can only see what happens in the next few years but yeah.

Oh yeah definitely, we can't know for sure where this generation will lead. There's an inkling of it happening again with Sony being less than consumer friendly in their decisions and Microsoft doing some genuinely good things for its player in the hope of gaining some ground when the new systems launch. But yeah you're right we can't be certain where it's going yet.

It is quite a fascinating phenomenon though. The success of the PS2 lead to the PS3 and its giant enemy crab and a 600$ launch tag with barely any games that was a nightmare to develop for. The success of the SNES lead to the N64 and Nintendo's insistence that devs were gonna be fine with using cartridges still. Then the Wii lead to the Wii U, a system I love but one Nintendo felt would sell on it's name alone despite terrible marketing. Xbox 360 lead to Xbone and it's thankfully discarded, ridiculous anti-consumers launch policies etc. Every time, they think that their brand is too big to fail.

And with that I realize that I totally derailed this thread, apologies to the OP! Carry on :P

You're not wrong, I noticed people tend to choose a side and I'm no different, I used to defend Sony but I stopped and I only did it cause I'm a fan. It happens. - hugs PS4 pro- But yeah I get the sales side of it, none of them want to give their rival a leg up. Understandable, but Sony seems like it's making the SAME mistakes that lead to the PS3 crappo start. Hopefully SE makes a harder case to making them drop the wall and play nice with XIV, I'd love to inspect a player and see an Xbox tag like I do when I see my fellow PSNers ingame. Pluss more people. With Fornite being shared with Nintendo and Mircosoft along with being able to use Live on the Switch we'll see if Sony lets up and joins the party.

Indeed, people picking a "side" is rather common. I guess it's our ancestral tribal instincts kicking in. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with it. It becomes problematic when folks defend brands or products at the detriment of their own interests. For example, I'm sure that some people were defending the system wide, always on DRM features the Xbox One was supposed to launch with. Even though it was entirely anti-consumers. Those people were not idiots, they knew it was terrible, but brand loyalty made them disregard their own interests.

You're absolutely right, we the players would benefit greatly from a more open interconnectivity between systems. Whether it be with FFXIV or any other game that has online components. More people is always beneficial.

both sony and MS view on corssplay change lately in this gen due the huge different on console sale, but i think it will be open up again by the end of this gen or the begin of next gen to convert ppl from old console to new console as quick as possible, as backward play being a main focus now

as someone play on both PS4 and laptop, i'm very welcome for crossplay, so i can keep my progress on different system in same time, play at home on my PS and play on traveling with my laptop, i can't never get into handheld system or mobile game but have to traveling alot this feature is something i'm looking for

Oh yeah, I'm a big fan of the Xbox Play Anywhere program Microsoft has. You buy your game once and you get it for xbox and pc both with save game carrying over from xbox to laptop/pc and vice versa. I hope this becomes the norm for all games and platforms alike.

Why does it need to be on Xbox.
I don't know anyone with an Xbox without a gaming pc or ps4.

So you know the entirety of the Xbox player base? I don't know anyone who owns a private jet, doesn't mean they don't exist.

You will be suprise that there are alot of guy only own 1 console, either because of the income problem or they don't have time to play on multi platform at once

Tho, i doubt that alot of guys in xbox camp are looking foward and old japanese MMO like FF14, but still there will be new wave of player come to this game, and it will be a good thing
