Forums - Microsoft - What's Holding Up Final Fantasy XIV For Xbox 360?

Reasonable on 23 August 2009

There's not much to discuss seems to me. The whole thing sounds like a policy issue, nothing to do with the game as such.

Either MS and SE will come to an agreement or not.

If yes, then it will come to 360 but perhaps delayed depending on how long it takes for an agreement to be sorted out: essentially giving PS3 a timed exclusive for free

If not, then I guess PS3 gets a free 'console' exclusive.

If MS think it is worth it they'll sort it out, although I suspect they see having FFXIII as much more important vs changing policies to get a FFIV MMO.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

The Sony Fanboys Here Are Treating It As A Big Game. Can't Wait For The 360 Announcement Just To See The Sony Boys Downplay The Game.

you have no common sense. A. they are saying its the biggest announcement for E3 they arent saying much other than that about it. B. they are saying it'll go to the 360... you are just up-playing the game for the inevitable 360 announcement.

Glad to see that you atleast are aware of the Trenton's Epic Fail


LOL... trent didn't fail...

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..


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

There's a difference between a company having a change of heart after the game's released ( which happened in alot of the case u just mention) and a company flat out saying that's it's not exclusive just a couple hrs after it was announced exclusive.

 

It's not MS had a crystal ball that  told them that a 2 years later the game they jsut announced will be on the ps3...

MS isn't that stupid, they definitely knew they were coming to PS3 or other consoles. For example in case of Bioshock it was well known it was also being developed for PS3 long before 360 version was released. People just didn't know that MS only bought it as timed exclusive. MS definitely knew it was coming later to PS3 even when they announced it as exclusive. Same as with several other games.

Then again, this is how all companies do. Even Nintendo would claim console exclusivity even if it was just timed exclusivity. None of these companies are any different in this respect.

Exactly... and besides Jackie announced it exclusive at launch in 2010. He never said anything other than that.

MMO + console = Fail. MMO's need keyboard.

Maybe the PS3 version will support it, remember Unreal Tournament III? The PS3 is capabale of keyboard/mouse support if the developer chooses to impement it.


Yeah. With keyboard support it is playble on PS3 but X360 is different story...

Square got FFXI working on 360..What would stop them from getting FFXIV to work..and from what I hear...It will play almost the same


It will work but it is different story that is it enjoyable. Writing chat messages with pad is pain. So slow that it takes ages to write little longer message. (and chatting while playing is key features in MMO's.)

LOL!!!!

What Text?

Xbox 360 has Cross Game chat when your a Gold user..Why would I text anyone?...The game will only support text...But with Xbox 360 you can chat with people regardless what comm abilities the game has....

Have you ever played proper MMO?

I played Lineage 2 for a year and a half....kain Sever...We had our own Ventrillo....this is besides the point....as I said..Since FFXI works on Xbox 360 (And PS2) FFXIV should have no problem

Funny thing is...You pretend you don't know the release dates for any of those games..

Well said, i'd have to agree with you the most.

Remember that FF XI didn't go to the xbox 360 right away. If I remember correctly, it was a good year or two before it was ported. The same may happen here.



Rob6021 on 24 August 2009

I think it would be a fair assumption to assume if a 360 version does happen it will launch alongside an expansion. If you look at how they did launches with FFXI - US versions launched with zilaart, EU launched with CoP, 360 launched with Toah - this seems to be how they'd do things here.

Not only that but it seems these guys don't know that the 360 already has a keyboard in the form of the Messenger text pad. It works awsome by the way
