Final Fantasy XIV producer Hiromichi Tanaka has said that Square Enix currently has “no plans” for an Xbox 360 version of his game, although he did admit that the company is “still in talks with Microsoft”.

Speaking in an E3 interview with RPG Site, Tanaka said the company is only working on the “PS3 and Windows version of the game” at the moment.
Elsewhere in the interview Tanaka said that while the version shown on the E3 show floor was running with a full resolution of 1080p, the final PS3 version won’t support this.

“The PS3 version will be running in 720p in order to ensure performance remains high quality, but the PC version can go up to 1080p if your machine is powerful enough. We also support multiple displays, so players can use two or three displays to show the game.”

Finally, the producer said the game is still on track to be released before the end of the year.

“Yes, that is the plan,” he said. “In fact, we were planning to bring the director, Komoto-san to this interview as well, but he had to remain in Japan to work on the game, so it is really at a critical finishing stage at the moment.”

Final Fantasy XIV Online was unveiled by Square at Sony’s E3 press conference last year.

Well that sucks for xbox 360 players but I have a ps3 also so i dont mind. I watched some gameply of xiv today and it looks good.
 
its p2p right? either way if i buy this game it would be bad for my work and social life....but it would be awesome if it was f2p then i wouldnt mind destroying me social life.
 
that's right - fuck xbox.
Xbox Live has more users than PSN, so realistically, it would make more sense FFXIV being on XBL than PSN.

yeah ff and xbox dont go together! kinda mad that the game doesnt run 1080p though. =/
I sort of agree, I'm a Sony fanboy at heart so the more exclusives the better...but, if Micro$oft pour money into Square-Enix then it makes financial sense to them to make it multiplatform. :sad3:
 
Microsoft's Xbox Live policy probably didn't sit well with SE then. I did actually kind of expect an Xbox 360 version of FFXIV actually, so this has slightly surprised me.

Still, there's a chance that SE can still make a u-turn and announce a FFXIV Xbox 360 port sometime in the future, knowing them.

I'd put money on them doing so, it can be argued whether PSN or XBL is better but there's no denying that XBL has a huge audience and if it's £10 or so a month for FFXIV that's a hell of a lot of money in the long run to turn down. And we all know SE love their money. :awesome:
 
Yea, it is dissapointing that they are dropping the x-box. But on the bright side, now you won't be paying two different things to play one game! -__- That is the major flaw with xi.
