Pretty sure a few days ago Square said that they're still in discussion with MS about FF XIV and now they say they have no current plans? If they had no current plans to port it to the X360 then why should they be discussing this with MS? They obvioulsy have plans and that is why they're still in discussion.


Square wants it on 360, but Microsoft apparently won't let them on 360 without certain stipulations regarding monthly fees, XBL Gold, etc.

Until those issues are resolved (as they may never be), Square is currently only developing the game for PC and PS3.

Well it's taking a bloody long time to come to a decision and discussion man. They've been probably discussing for over a year now and still haven't come down to a final decision.

And wasn't FF XI on X360? So what's so different about this situation? Or did FF XI not have Cross Platform gaming?

I'm not sure how FFXI got a free pass.  Maybe because the 360 was young and Microsoft was desparate for any games they could get, especially something with Final Fantasy in the title.

Whatever problem is plaguing FFXIV also affected the other MMOs that were supposed to eventually make it to 360, like Age of Conan and Champions Online.  Not a single one saw the light of day in the end.
