Forums - Gaming Discussion - Final Fantasy 14 'NOT' cancelled for 360.

Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy XIV are too completely seperate games. and both require a different set amount of funds to create a proper version. Let's be honest here MHFO doesn't have graphics of un-believeable level. It wouldn't cost outrageous amounts of cash to make the game for the 360. Now XIV on the other hand does have ground breaking graphics for the MMO genre. It WOULD cost tons to make a 360 version. So Square doesn't want to invest that amount of money only to have it come back and bite them.

We will never know that exact amount of figures when it comes to dev costs. But just look at any XIV vid. You would know it would cost wayyyyyy more to develop.

Kudos to Capcom though for making XBL work for them.

 

FFXIV 360 will come in time. Just be patient.

Not cancelled? Well, I suppose it wouldn't be, since you cannot really cancel something that was never announced for release in the first place.

it will go if MS makes LIVE free which SE wants

still think PS3 version will come in earlier even if 360 version announced


Xbox Live Silver is free and that is all you need to play an MMO.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

If Capcom can manage it, why can't Square?


cause its not worth it to invest and then people don't play because of the monthly fee

Actually. More people played ff11 online with the 360 than the free PS2 service. 

So that statement is a moot subject.

But regardless. Considering the hugely dissapointing sales on both a Sony and M$ console of FF11 M$ wont bother with it. The sales were a waste of time for FF11.

The 360 version is actually quite far into development. It was halted then started agian then halted again.

Bottom line: Because of Xbox Live's closed system, just don't hold your breath.



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

They've been discussing this now since the game was announced... Haven't they?


Yes they never said it was cancelled or anything. It was never announce to begin with. They always said the same thing: it was a possibility and they are discussing with MS.

Official sources from either MS or Square? I never heard anything like that.

Read the OP.  The game originally started as a 360/Vista project codenamed "Requiem" too, pretty easy to google sources for that.

Resumes leaked existence of a 360 version being well into development too.  It went way farther than just talks, at least it did at one point.

Ive read the OP and theres nothing related to that, I dont quite understand why you tell me to read it. Beside, I wasnt able to find any information on project "Requiem", let alone one that would come from either MS or square. To my knowledge the first time FF 14 was announce (E3) it wasnt announce on 360. It always been the same speech from square enix since then, that they are looking with MS.

Now, I would be glad to learn more, can you point me to the sources of information you and selnor have? Also, if its a resumee "worked on project "requiem" for 360/vista", I would like to know what makes assume its FF14. Even if it doesnt come from square or MS themselves im open as long at it makes enough sense.
