you never learn.

On Topic: I for one would not care if XIV went 360, White Knight will end up better due to the fact XIV is XI except more sexy.

White Knight offers new innovative gameplay and great near endless custom creation.

That and Demons Souls but ya get the point.

Why is everyone making such a big deal outta this?

So you saw GTTV?...When Geoff asked three times in a row..."IS it Exclusive to the PS3" and Trenton refused to say it was not, while he knew it was not exclusive beyond maybe a few months..

If you don't care about FFXIV...why are you making a big deal about some other game you like better...? You always do that..

Always do that? don't know what you mean this is the first time i've quoted two rpgs that are pretty much made to be MMO's in an overall statment.

And i do care about it so ... huh? if its free, then i'll get it but if not then yeah your right but as for now its on my watch list.

and i didn't make a big deal outta anything, look at your thread and how it went and then you'll see "a big deal."

Had a thought about possible reasons.

MMO's require two things to run well - RAM or hard drive space (preferably both). This is due to the streaming nature of online aspects of the game and the need to "lock in" memory. PCs are able to use RAM and hardrive, the PS3 is able to use a harddrive but the 360 cannot due to its fractured SKUs. Similarly to the PS2 launch of FFXI, MS may be looking at a HD/FFXIV bundle, but this doesnt come cheap.

There also may be another solution that involves server based memory allocation, but that involves cross-platform play (Squeenix doesn't want to have multiple server platforms for 360/PS3). This is where the "Live" problem may be occurring.

great

a console timed exclusive without losing any $$$

Have you ever played proper MMO?

MMOs are exempt from the HDD rules and the Gold requirments... meaning if you want to play FF11 or 14 on your 360 you would not have to have a disc or have a gold account... you will have to have a HDD that you can install the game on but it's less complicated than installing it on your PC.

Yeah I don't think its the gold requirement, but it has to be something along the lines of memory addressing and cross-platform data if it's a Live issue.

I also think it'd be console suicide to start releasing games that divide the install base. Releasing games that cannot run on Arcades is asking for a lot of trouble unless they release with hard drive like the PS2 did. If they did that, the Arcade will become extremely unpopular.

Still, I hope they work it out as this game looks like it deserves everyone playing it.

so i guess MS failed by saying bioshock was exclusive. Lost planet. Dead Rising. ToV... ect ect.
