Square Enix "continuing talks" with Microsoft for Final Fantasy XIV

Final Fantasy XIV's new Producer & Director Naoki Yoshida has told RPG Site that the company is continuing to talk to Microsoft about the possibility of an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIV despite the troubles the game has endured over the twelve months since its launch.

Previous Producer & Director Hiromichi Tanaka repeatedly told RPG Site that his team was talking to Microsoft and interested in an Xbox 360 version of the game prior to the game's launch, but Yoshida has now said that his team would also be interested in expansion - but they need to fulfill other promises made by Tanaka's team first.

In other words "Here at square enix we think that we can squeeze microsoft for a couple of more $$$$$$$$$$$"

koehler834593d ago (Edited 4593d ago )

I don't know, even as a player and supporter of the game, I feel as though the title has lost all its external value. It's scoffed at at mere mention.

If anything, it's likely to SE's benefit to expand the number of platforms on which it's made available simply to expand its potential audience.

It's likely not a matter or money, simply a matter of policy.

Tanir4593d ago

Yea for real Pedo_Across the road.

Imagine a company trying to make money.....man thats like us going to work to try and make money! wtf were we thinkin? we should be workin for free! damn we are greedy bastards

fluffydelusions4593d ago

Who will even care about this game by the time it releases on consoles is the real question.

TopDudeMan4593d ago

I think the xbox 720 and the PS4 will be out by the time this drops on consoles.

koehler834593d ago (Edited 4593d ago )

Not quite but it's not far behind. And it really makes you wonder what the hell they're thinking. Their only hope is a scalable engine the can bridge the current generation with the next (as well as high/low-end PC hardware) and backward compatibility that doesn't completely screw them over with a radical new architecture.

TopDudeMan4593d ago

Yeah, I mean I suppose just because I get a PS4 doesn't mean I'm gonna throw out my PS3. I could play that game for about a month or so then move on.

JAMurida4593d ago

I honesty don't know why they care anymore. Just focus on what they have to work with now. Plus, XIV on the console won't be coming out until like early 2013. I'm sure MS by then would of at least announced plans on their next console.

Tanir4593d ago

yeah, for consumers it makes sense not to care anymore, but they want to try to save all the money they dumped, cuz if they just give up, well they may aswell had let their employees sleep at home and pay them cuz all that work was for nothin then

Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.

gold_drake44d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

RedDevils43d ago

*insert gift*
"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

DivineHand12544d ago

I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.

TheGamingHounds43d ago

Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched

Eidolon43d ago

it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape

Aphrodia44d ago

Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.

shinoff218344d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA44d ago

This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.

NOMATICENIGMA44d ago

You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.

CrimsonWing6944d ago

Geezus, Xbox, you get gifted gold and still f*ck things up.

NOMATICENIGMA44d ago

It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.

CrimsonWing6944d ago

Does this affect PC and PS4/PS5 users, too? Or is it only happening on Xbox?
