Pretty sure that Microsoft's own game, Minecraft, doesn't even have that toggle at all.
    It's that toggle option that is holding up the negotiations, it's a feature that microsoft has promised their live subscribers (as a parental control feature?), and if SE were to abide by that, they'd have to code into the game the option for xbox players that have that toggled, to basically have their own exclusive servers (instances) that would exclude ps4 and pc players and that would also only find other xbox players when queued for DF.

    SE isn't going to go through all that hassle just to port XIV over to xbox. I'm sure negotiations would go rather well if microsoft would drop the xbox live requirements and option for xbox players to only play with other xbox players. If SE could get Sony to drop PS+ requirements for XIV, don't understand why Microsoft won't budge.
