Consider FFXIV on XBox

[Mintyfresh]

With the latest acquisition of Activision, the overall offerings provided by the Microsoft platform are looking even more attractive.
In addition, their Azure platform is going to expand their footprint in the cloud gaming market as well. They are already a force to be reckoned with in the Enterprise computing space.
I have read news articles in the past about some sort of effort to bring FFXIV to Xbox, and I'm hoping that some folks at SquareSoft are looking at the current landscape and considering expanding the market for this wonderful game to people on the Xbox.
I invested in my first console (obviously Xbox X) today. I've always owned Sony consoles and my last one was PS3 till I switched to computer gaming. With WFH due to pandemic, I've decided to invest in a console so I'm not glued to my computer.

Long story short, I hope there's an effort, it can only be good for the game.

Ehh, as much as I like XBOX, I'd rather not add more fuel to the Monoposoft bonfire.

They tried, i think microsoft wanted an xbox live subscription to be required to play since it was an online game, square enix didn't want players paying two subscriptions to play on xbox. Also i think microsoft wanted exclusivity and SE wasn't gonna do that.

Nvm i saw now its not needed, amazing.

Dont players still need to pay PS+ in order to play 14? or that doesnt apply?

Nope.
You pay SE the money to buy the expansions, and pay for the subscription. No PS+ necessary at all.


Just like Halo Infinite Multiplayer on Xbox
Doesnt require a Gold Sub to play

Yeah a quick google search show me that. Im surprised Sony allowed that. There's a ton of games i cant play multiplayer due not being able to afford plus.

It's because this game was released before ps+ was a thing and was grandfathered when Sony made online gaming a part of ps+.

Sony policy with playing online without the need of PS+ is: Free to play games and Pay to Play games. Of course P2P games this day are very rare (probably only XIV in the ps store), but you can freely play f2p games online like Fortnite.
