Possibilty of a PS4 version of FFXIV!!!

[VoltaAsura]

There's no way that FFXIV would be able to run on a 360. Even with the new graphics engine. It is just not powerful enough of a system to run it. Already the PS3, is just barely would be able to run it.

360 and PS3 are pretty similar in terms of power it could be optimized to run on 360 if its capable of running on PS3. Its just the Xbox Live issue more then anything that keeps it from being on 360.

Not really, PS3 is about twice as powerful, however FFXIV could be adapted for the 360 just like every other cross platform game.

From a consumer's point of view, it seems the roadblock is that Xbox Live that keeping it from being ported Xbox. Now that may be one issue, whether that is the main reason is another thing.

They are similar in some way, but how you are comparing them, is like comparing an Ipad to a Archos Tablet. Sure they can do most/or around the same things, but there is a performance difference between the two. Their specific hardware and the performance differences of each, is what sets them apart. AND although as you point out, they are somewhat the same, the PS3 wins hands down in better hardware. The faster processor, better video card and higher memory bandwidth of the PS3 would be better for FFXIV to run. If I recall correctly, it has been said that they are dumbing down the graphics a bit, making it so you can;t see as many people on screen and are toning down from the pc version to be able to get the PS3 to run FFXIV..... then I would assume taking it a few notches down (from that) to make it run on the Xbox wouldnt be a good choice. It would look terrible and wouldnt be worth the development time for.

It would look like any HD 360 game, FFXIV (if they go by their origanal plans) will only be in 720p as opposed to 1080p of the PC version, this will help the frame rate a lot. 360 should be able to handle 720p and lower draw distance a bit, which shouldn't look too bad.

Although I usually prefer PS3 versions, this is completely false. Thus far FF games on the xbox 360 have been ports from either PS2 (FFXI) or PS3 (FFXIII, FFXIII-2) and don't perform well for that very reason. Since this is a PC developed game it's actually 10 times easier to port and to optimize for the 360.
