Final Fantasy XIV Coming to Xbox

Starting later this year, the free trial goes up through Stormblood (I think that's the one. I can't remember the name) and level 70 with no restriction on playtime. But if you bought the game you have to pay though from what I remember. Soon as you actually buy the content, it's pay city for you.
Oh really? Oh well fuck that.

I took 2 weeks off to complete Shadowbringers and was the best 2 weeks I've had in a video game for a while, Perfect story, great activities and dungeons, so much fun, not even started endwalker and Ive had it since it came out
 
Suddenly FF games are good again.

Especially if Xbox receives FFXVI

They've been good! Endwalker, Strangers of Paradise, FFVIIR, and FFXVI (ymmv) might not be as good as the golden days but they are sure as hell better whatever they were doing on PS3. Its a legit fun series again.

I remember doing a couple of dungeons with randoms and having a lot of fun but I ain't paying a monthly sub for it

To be fair to FFXIV, the story is great but ShadowBringers was phenomenal, not played Endwalker yet but heard the story is even better I only paid for one month sub to rinse ShadowBringers to finish it and I ended up completing battlegrounds highest tier (60+ hours) and some of the raid content before I burned out

EDIT: Story as in .. one of the best stories I have ever played in a video game, its really really good

If they ever drop it to like $7.99 a month I'll jump back on probably. Personally money is too tight these days for me to have any sub services. Already dropped the Flix and Hulu. Would love to jump back into this at some point. I know that's not a huge discount in price from what it is now, but when the finances are tight the finances are tight. The game is magical though.
 
the timing is well expected.


Yoshida been expressed his interest to bring the game to Xbox atleast since 2014. from there, we hear the interest almost every year. until 2019 if i recall correctly where phil spencer finally give proper confirmation.

there issue of weird ms regulation where they prohibit chat with user from different platform, asking separate server just for xbox (despite they play crossplay issue with sony lol) and xbox gold payment issue where Yoshida didnt want player to pay twice to play the game. finally when phil spencer announce that the issue is been settled, however the devs team is already hand tied with Endwalker development and launch, not to mention there is sudden surge of rising player that lead to server congestion that forced them to laid up server upgrade roadmap. now the server upgrade is finished around end of last year and the devs probably got spare times, the timing for xbox version announcement is within expected timeframe be it whatever happened within the industry at the moment (like actiblizz acquisition controversy and stuff). however i hope the server is gonna hold up by the time new expansion launch.

not suprise if Switch version announced later (Switch 2 perhaps?). more people play FF14 is better.

Well...you know that xbox is the home of multiplayer games and PlayStation home of single player games...an mmorpg suit better on xbox tho 😂
I like mmorpg...i've played tera black desert phantasy star eso f76 and all on xbox
 
So, is XBOX getting its own world or will be it be joining the PC and PS4/5 worlds? Or will they only have XBOX and PC together? Not sure if this is a Sony or Square choice.

It will have cross-play with existing players, they confirmed it on stage.
 
Xbox has allowed crossplay for over 6 years now, so clearly that has not been the reason.
Xbox had a policy that blocked communication with other platforms. The creator of FF14 didn't want to release on xbox and have people in an MMO unable to communicate with eachother.
 
Since FF games dont sell well on Xbox i can just imagine this will be the worst selling FF on Xbox since the game is online and already have to much content for ppl to follow up.
 
It's Live Service, so it makes sense.

So stupid that Phil "We want gamers to play games everywhere" Spencer had blocked it for so long with the dumb cross play policy

A post above explains Phil fixed it as soon as he took over, but Square couldn't make the port with Endwalker and then the servers melting down. But of course you ignored that fact.

I'm a bit irritated still because I can't do the free trial despite the fact I never bought the game, I just beta tested it way back in the day 😑

how is 2019 as soon as he took over when he took over in 2014? 🤨🤔

It wasn't fixed even after MS allowed cross-play. SE also wanted the players to be able to play without needing xbox live gold since they didn't want the players to pay 2 subscriptions. FFXIV is the only paid game (that I know of) that doesn't require ps plus.
