PC/XB cross play isn't the problem.  It's PS/XB cross play that, according to the director of FF XIV, is something Microsoft won't allow.

So they'd either have to decide to have 3 separate communities (PS, PC & XB) or not bother with one of the home consoles and just have one community (PS4/PC or XB/PC).

I still don't understand why MS seem to be so against it... Would be nice to see some Xbox players on FF14.

Also, correct me if i'm wrong (I've only briefly read into it), but aren't their recent cross-play plans for just W10 and X1? That would need to be extended to all Windows versions. Otherwise W10 would be working as a divider rather than a proper connector.

I better not hear anything about Indies being "fluff" on lists after this thread!

At least now, they will only fund their exclusives


Except for the other games they throw money at and also have PC releases.

If Sony redistributes the funds to PS4 development, I am 100% for this. Lets be honest those 500-1000 payed employees would be more beneficial if they were working on PS4 exclusives. If they use the money they have saved this could be a great thing. SOE was always at odds with the Playstation brand. They were always a PC developer. It makes since removing your PC developer and increasing your Playstation developers.

Let's be honest. What was SOE last hit console game.... I seriously can't think of any. DConline isn't a Killer App... What does that leave a Peggle port? Untold failure?

I doubt games like EverQuest Next would run on an X1 due to the PC/PS community being able to game together unless Xbox changes their tune about that.

Ok they can game with PC players but will they let them game with PlayStation players too?
