GOD, here we go again. People claiming Sony lost an exclusive before any hard facts are present. Here is the jist of things....

FFXIV is not full exclusive to PS3, there will be a PC version..........DUH! This is why MS is trying to crush the idea that FFXIV is "exclusive", even though MS has used the 360/PC games in there exclusive listing all the time. They must think seeing as they own majority of the computer OS's in the world that it counts as "on their system".

FFXIV would be a HUGE mistake on 360 because of...dum dum dum! 360 XBOX LIVE FEES!!!! Imagine having to pay for not only XBOX LIVE but a MMO subscription fee as well.

And last time I checked, FFXI sold just as much as a typical FF game(with millions of subscribers online) and was the only ever real competitor to WOW(also Everquest). The game had the deepest story of any MMO and anyone who has played a reasonable length of the game will tell you the same. I too was very board of FFXI when I first got it(for the PS2 mind you) but that all changed onces I formed a "linkshell" and got to lvl 10. From there it becomes an unrivaled gaming experience that is full of adventure. You just can't replicate that in any single player game.

I love the singleplayer story FFs as much as the next person, but to say FFXI was not great is down right wrong. I haven't liked what SE has been doing for quite some time but I never doubt the quality of their bread and butter main FF series.

I remember reading somewhere that only xbox live silver (free) is required, and xbox owners only have to pay for the MMO subscription fee only. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Look at the buyer reviews. They say you do need to pay a live subscription for FFXI. That goes in line with what I have heard from other 360 owners who got the game.

 

Unless Microsoft is willing to bend their own rules yet again just to get their hands on a PS3 console exclusive....
