Final Fantasy XIV is in negotiations with Microsoft for a port to Xbox One.
As reported by Polygon, Square Enix is currently negotiating with Microsoft for a port of Final Fantasy XIV to Xbox One. Fans have been wanting this for a long time, but the “cross-platform” issue has been an obstacle: Microsoft and Sony do not want players to interact across consoles. For FF14, this is an important issue: Because currently, everyone is playing together, whether PC, PS3, or PS4.
But this cross-platform restriction from Microsoft seems to have loosened and results are being seen.
Thus, FF14 Master Naoki Yoshida now: Microsoft has asked whether FF14 could be made a cross-platform game.
Square Enix has addressed the regulations that such a port would bring and found that Microsoft currently lacks both the experience and understanding to maintain an MMORPG. Therefore, they have responded to change certain regulations. And this is apparently where they are right now and are discussing. They are waiting for Microsoft’s response, but discussions are ongoing, it is said.
Furthermore, Final Fantasy XIV announced that they will continue to support the PlayStation 3, at least the 3.x patches. They do not want to commit further.
