People...

The game is not on the xbox one 'cause Ms would obligate people to pay for xbox live gold...

FF14 runs in its own server on ps4, it doesn't go through psn, that's why we don't need to pay for ps plus to play it. Actually, we pay a monthly fee...

So, it doesn't have anything to do with sony, it has to do with MS not accepting that the players wouldn't need to pay for xbox live gold

Depends on the games even ESo needs Gold/Plus but if that was the issue I expect Yoshida would say it and would suck for Switch owners. You can't have FFXIV because Ms don't want to give up GOLD XD.

I thought MS changed their policy on F2P MMOs a while back so they do not require gold anymore (just googled it and can't find an answer to this). If they still charge Xbox Live Gold to play F2P mmos then that is a big 'for shame'.

If not, they whatever policy they have there would apply to this game. MMO Tera is coming to both platforms soon, it's a F2P game and originally I thought it was to boost numbers but if the player base is console locked then the player numbers would be tiny even compared to the PC version.
