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 $$$$$$$$$$$"

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.

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

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

TopDudeMan5336d ago

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

koehler835336d ago (Edited 5336d 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.

TopDudeMan5336d 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.

JAMurida5336d 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.

Tanir5336d 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
