The fantasy MMO Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is just waiting for the green light from Microsoft, then the game will be brought to the Xbox One as well. However, Square Enix expects this only after the holiday season.
Naoki Yoshida, the mastermind behind Final Fantasy XIV, was at Gamescom and gave numerous interviews. Among others, he spoke to dualshockers. They asked him how things looked for a port to the Xbox One. The answer is sobering but not hopeless. He is ready to start working on an Xbox One version as soon as Microsoft accepts the possibility of cross-platform servers, Yoshida said.
At the moment, Microsoft is very focused on exclusive titles and the holiday season. Once that is over, they might reconsider, predicts Yoshida. Probably, they will finish the Mac version of Final Fantasy XIV even earlier than the Xbox version.
Yoshida even suggested a compromise, asking whether it would at least be possible to put Xbox One players on a server with PC players, but this was also rejected by Microsoft.
The MMO Final Fantasy XIV only released a version of the game for PlayStation 4 last year, which was very well received on Metacritic. The PlayStation 3 is also supported by FF XIV.
