More Confirmation for Final Fantasy XIV on the Xbox 360

Prehaps seeing the bankrupcy ghost brings out the best in Square.

Back when it happened they still had certain key people who no longer work for the company anymore.

I understand that you guys cover the new game releases and everything but enough Final Fantasy news already... seriously.

If you don't like reading about FF news then you don't have to. No-one forced you to click on the link. Don't come here just to complain because you don't like seeing something that most of us will actually find interesting. Myself included.

I'm kind of looking forward to this now, to be honest. I missed out on the whole FF XI wagon when it came around, and never had the chance to get into it. Now, since FF XIV is meant to also be an MMO, I'll definitely be getting it (since an FF MMO is one of the few MMOs I'm willing to pay a subscription fee for, unlike WoW). So the Xbox news is pretty good for me as a consumer, though I'll weigh it up against the PC an PS3 verions before I make any real choice in what to get.

I can see the logic behind releasing XIV on the 360 but I really don't think that it'll sell very well in comparison to PS3 and PC versions.

I agree, seeing as it is P2P, I don't see many 360 owners paying to play FFXIV on top of paying for Live.

See that's what makes the United States great. I can say pretty much whatever I want without being persecuted by people like you. With that being said, I stand by my previous statement.

I hope it's being developed specifically rather than following the path of that god-awful, dysfunctional excuse for a port that was FFXI on 360.

I just hope consoles don't drag down the quality for FF XIV on PC.

Multi-platform is the way everything should go.

Multi-platform games are bland crap for the most part. I prefer the first-party exclusives where a company shovels money at a project to show off what their console hardware is capable of.

I'm afraid it's a bit worse than that. There would seem to be a slowly but steadily mounting pile of evidence that would seem to strongly suggest that the 360s reliance on the DVD format is starting to hold multi-platform games back. The Lost Planet 2 situation is the latest example and it's highly unlikely that it will be the last.

The 360 is supposed to be a current generation platform but it's still using the last generations format. And now this is starting to cause some notable problems.

As far as the 360s lifespan is concerned it has an awful lot riding on Project Natal. If Natal doesn't produce the desired results than Microsoft may be forced to develop and release a new Xbox sooner than expected, hopefully with a better format, for the purpose of keeping up with the PS3.

In the meantime PS3 exclusives would seem to be the most promising way to go for the hardcore gamer.
