Final Fantasy XIV Avoiding Xbox Live

Final Fantasy XIV Avoiding Xbox Live

None

According to what Hiromichi Tanaka, Final Fantasy XIV’s creator and director, recently told to Eurogamer, Xbox Live was too restrictive of a system to bring their new MMO to. He started out by stating “The main reason why we couldn’t go with Xbox 360 was the Xbox Live system,” He further explained the problem with “[Live is] different to the normal internet environment, so when we wanted to introduce this game in the same environment as Windows PC it had to be PS3, so that was our choice.”

For Xbox 360 owning MMO fans, this sort of thing is becoming a disturbing trend given the similar situation that arose with the Xbox 360 version of the Champions Online MMO that was subsequently canceled. Will there ever be another MMO on the Xbox 360 besides Final Fantasy XI? I suppose only time will tell.
