Well, can’t say we didn’t see this one coming down the pike. Today we received word that Final Fantasy XIV will also come out for the XBOX360. While no confirmation has been made regarding what level of XBOX-Live service will be required, it’s a good likelihood that it will follow it’s predecessor in requiring only silver-level access.
A link to the original article can be found here.
Now we just got to wait for Beta Releases! (lol FF13 boxes)

yes in ya face sony lol whoop
Fuck yeh!
How is this a confirmation? It’s just hearsay at the moment. It’s confirmation when Square-Enix or Microsoft announces it. I have no doubt that the Xbox 360 will, at one point, get the game, however, a listing on a someone’s internet resume is not “confirmation”.
Additionally, I’m pretty sure the game will still come out on the PC and the PlayStation 3 before the Xbox 360, so, no, not “in ya face”, as “jermaine” so obnoxiously put it. I don’t know why the hell anyone would play the game on a console, anyway. That is the most cumbersome way to play the game.
Actually I don’t agree with the last part of that previous post. I played FFXI for a long time on my PS2 i just used a usb keyboard and now that I switched over to PC is still use the same set up. I plug my ps2 controller into my PC and it is the only way I perfer to play. Other than that yeah I can see it comming to the xbox but it won’t be at launch and hopefully when it comes to both consoles the PS3 supports some kind of cross game voice chat while playing like the 360 does. Pesonally I will just be using xfire or ventrillo or whatever on my pc.
oooo touchy, he was just showing his joy for it
. If we go by FFXIII they will postpone it until it is ported to the 360, I dont think that will take long anyways cuz 360 is one of the easier consoles to port.
well #1 FFXIII was just about done until they announced it was coming to Xbox, so we had to wait an extra year while JP players got it a few months ahead of us but its cool because it gave them more time to fine tune the game and that’s something I appreciate.. & #2 Yeah your right, who really didn’t see this coming.. I knew this would happen the day it was announced at E3, I mean XI is on Xbox so why not 14, it happened the same way too. XI came out on PC 1st then then few months later PS2, a year later Xbox360 only this time it didn’t take a year to announce it lol so this is really no biggie.. my hope is that it does delay the game like it did for XIII other then that i’m good =P
The official site still says PS3 and PC.
In addition every site I found got its information (directly or indirectly) from a single site that had little support for the claim other that hearsay.
On a side note, I plan to play on PC and I would love to see it come to 360, more players = bigger (hopefully better) community.
How you all gonna play on your coxboxes with that big red light flashing?
ok i knew this was gonna happen. but who cares xbox 360 can’t even handle the excessive play time that is required for an mmorpg. for all xbox users who is gonna play ffxiv your system will soon have the 4 red rings of death LOL GOOD LUCK
you guys talkin bout xbox’s are dumbasses the new ones rarely even do that nd i played ffxi on 360 nd would have it running for over 24hrs at a time so stop tryna sound smart if u dnt even have a clue wtf ur talking bout
Sly and xoxcox are seemingly PS3 fanboys.
Xbox 360 is a wonderful machine as is the PS3, but neither compare to the power of the PC.
Ya’ll can keep arguing over which console is better while I’ll play FFXIV on my PC and have graphics multiple times better. :]
hahaha fanboys get so annoyed about this stuff, its so funny to see.
I thought console wars was soooooo 2007~
who cares!? the more people that play it the better its not like WE make money out of this…
Vauf is right, even playing on PC you will probably still want a pad. FFXI didn’t require the motion of games like WoW and macros we’re easily activated from the shoulder buttons. We’ll see what XIV is like when it comes, but presuming you can use a usb keyboard with either PS3 or 360 they are all viable systems for play. I intend to get it on PS3 and PC
216,
Have you played it on a console yet? I bet not. I played FFXI on the ps2 and I “pwned” people at claiming NMs. It has its advantages and disadvantages. So don’t be quick to judge somthing you haven’t tried yet. WARWopaCo.
No matter the platform you play it on the game will still be the same. I understand the graphics may be a little better on the PC but who needs all the headaches involved with getting anything to run smoothly on a PC nowadays? We have a family of 5 who all play FFXI. 3 on Xbox 360, 1 on PC, and 1 on PS2. When you compare the 3 platforms the 360 and PC are very comparable in graphics while the PS2 sucks of course. But the PC tends to be slightly laggy at times compared to the 360. I hope it gets released on all platforms because the larger the playing community the better it is for all of us.
I’m just happy to see it come to the 360. Talk bad about the system all you want, we still get love from Square, and that’s where it matters~
yeah another platform that has access to FFXIV. The more platforms the better for FFXIV. Share the love~~~
Oh boy, instead of the PS2 holding back FFXI, the gripe’s going to be about the 360 holding back FFXIV come 8 years from now.
Perfect.
Oh boy, instead of the PS2 holding back FFXI, the gripe’s going to be about the 360 and PS3 holding back FFXIV come 8 years from now.
Fixed.
I hope PS3 and Xbox users are on a different server. There’s a reason MMO’s should be PC only: upgradeable. Plus you don’t see WoW on consoles. Too many keys w/o keyboard and mouse. And if you put it on a PS3/Xbox w/ keyboard and mouse you may as well have put it on PCs. That’s what they are…but again, without the ability to be upgraded. Goodbye graphics boosts. (-.-; )
FFXI was designed to be cross platform. FFXIV will be designed to be cross platform. All systems will play together. FFXIV is not going to play like WOW……… In 8 years everyone will switch to FFIXX
I think any REAL gamer knows this will be on the 360 at some point in time, just like FF13, and as of right now Versus 13 is PS3 exclusive, but so was 13. Imma PS3 owner, but you have to face the facts, you can make more money with a game on the more consoles you have it on, like 13. Yes, it sucks. But the 360 fan bots will be endulged in there “Project Dance Around Your Living Room Like An Idot”, and no I will not buy the PS3 Motion Craptastic Magical Wand that will lower your electric bill!!!
@bl, @k1ska, did you ever play’d ffxi on xbox? well lol @ those “xbox is an awesome machine” xbox cant do a shit with mmorpg. ffxi example, the rate of the game is like hmmm 10 fps? things like besiged, and everything with 10 people on the screen, lag(framerate) as shit. new models old models its all the same maybe it will rrod less, but still the same SHIT MACHINE.
People stop all the wishful thinking SE WILL NOT BE RELEASEING FFXIV for the 360 EVER Why dont you all start blameing MICROSOFT for that it is after all their fault Greedy stupid assholes
@k1ska, @lolfat, so what if the ps3 and 360 can’t be upgraded. With the right stuff (good t.v, HD cords) you can make it look just as good as the computer version maybe even better. I personally own a ps3 and intend to play FF14 on it because I don’t have a computer to run it. However I do agree the 360 is a piece of shit.
Let’s stop thinking about the downfall of FFXIV (no upgrading graphics & “holding back”) when it doesn’t even have a set release date yet. Who cares what Square decides to do with their game? If you don’t like it, don’t play. I don’t know about you, but I am going to live in this game, whether or not my party members are playing on the 360. It’s not my problem if the 360 RRoDs, so honestly I could care less. Anyway, the more in the game, the merrier. Just means I can be better than more people >:D
