For the record SE said they didn't bring it to Xbox because MS wouldn't allow the cross platform online play. But they allowed it for FFXI.

Go figure!

I recall MS bribing them to allow it anyways and Wada was more lenient towards the Xbox brand since it was leading the sales in the console market at the time... 

Bribing? You sure you're using the right word.

MS was making an effort to appeal to fans of Japanese games last gen, so they threw money at those projects. They had numerous exclusives for that reason.

It was leading in sales? FFXI online was announced before the X360 was released :s.

Yes, because they didn't want until they saw the fat paycheck...

Well bribe doesn't mean what you think.

If they paid for FFXI, cool. The end result was continued support from Square Enix.

I don't know, I still play Super Metroid to this day and it has zero MP at all. Great games will last forever regardless of multiplayer.

The funny thing about MP centric games though is, the opposite isn't true. Titanfall will be garbage in 20 years, along with pretty much all MP games. The SMB3's etc. though, will still be cherished and enjoyed.

Its just all talk now, if you would like FFF14 on X1 make it happen dont tweet about it. SE said they would of made it for X1 but MS blocked it.

So shut up phil and tell us when the deal has been done with SE to bring it.

Bribe as in "pay for special treatment". They bribed them...

Do I support the idea ? Yes.
Do I like that MS is announcing it right now ? No. They are doing this only because they dont have enough userbase, and this is hurting sales.
