Square Enix’s popular multiplayer game Final Fantasy XIV was launched on PS3 in 2013, and in 2014 for PS4.  Fans have often asked why the game never made it to Xbox One, and the game’s creators have maintained that it’s because Microsoft’s console infrastructure didn’t allow for cross-platform play, enabling players from any platform able to play together on the same servers.
According to Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida, It’s just a matter of working out continuing negotiations with Microsoft.
“Microsoft actually approached the Final Fantasy 14 team about the cross-platform opportunity (..) When our team reviewed the regulations that are associated with that, we realized that Microsoft may not have the experience or understanding of running an MMORPG as an online game genre just yet. The Final Fantasy 14 team has fed back to Microsoft that there are certain elements of its regulations that we would have to consider waived. We’re waiting on Microsoft’s response for that, but we are having discussions.”
