That remains to be seen. How desperate is Microsoft to get even one multiplatform title that sold better than the PS4 version? The answer to that question will correlate to the size of the check they cut SE.
As a FFXI player for going on a decade now, I've seen SE do some dumb things. It wouldn't surprise me if they went for a little extra money without thinking about the backlash in lost sales. This is the company that released the original version of FFXIV and blew so much on the first Tomb Raider of this reboot cycle, that 3.6mil was only about half of their "very conservative" sales estimates, and marked the title as a commercial failure.
