Final Fantasy XIV will be very important to the gamign industry as it will be the first cross-platform MMO of the online generation.

FFXI was multiplatform and even on a current gen console (PS2, PC, 360).  I'm really not entirely sure what you mean by online generation...

 

Indeed it was, but it was designed and released in 2002 way before the current generation of online consoles. On release the internet was relatively unused on consoles, broadband was rare and 360 release was more of an expansion of access than launch of a new title.

 

This generation of consoles has seen online play become common in most games. All consoles have built in internet compatibility, the majority of which are hooked up to the net and most have hard drives. FFXIV will be the first cross-platform MMO to be designed and released for this generation of hardware, the online generation, and will play a key role in shaping console and PC MMOs to come.
