SE said: Square-Enix didn't plan to keep Final Fantasy XIV off the Xbox 360, but problems with Xbox Live's "closed" nature ultimately led to this decision.

Final Fantasy XIV is going to be a bit different from Square-Enix's last MMOG because it's going to be exclusive to PCs and PS3s. This has raised a few eyebrows in the videogame industry, seeing as how Final Fantasy XI was one of the few Xbox 360-friendly MMOGs. However, Square-Enix has explained that it wanted to release the upcoming game for Microsoft's console, but decided against it because of the "closed" nature of Xbox Live.
Speaking to Eurogamer at E3, Final Fantasy XIV's director Hiromichi Tanaka explained that Square-Enix chose to forego an Xbox 360 version of the game because of problems encountered with Xbox Live.
"The main reason why we couldn't go with Xbox 360 was the Xbox Live system," he stated. "[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.
"Microsoft has a different point of view: they want to have a closed environment for Xbox Live. We're still talking to ... We couldn't come to an agreement on Xbox Live."
Yoichi Wada, president and CEO of Square-Enix, confirmed this stance when he spoke to Eurogamer's sister site, GamesIndustry.biz. Wada stated he would like to see Microsoft implement a network for third-party developers that would allow them to "freely design different business schemes."
This isn't the first time Microsoft has lost out on a major MMOG for its console. Champions Online was originally set to launch for both PCs and 360s, but the console build was delayed numerous times before it was confirmed as canceled by Cryptic Studios.
"Microsoft's a big company, and they have to work out all the various issues related to MMOs," Cryptic's COO Jack Emmert said when he was asked about the situation a few months ago. "It just takes time for the big beast known as Microsoft to get moving. I really have no explanation other than that, because it's as baffling to developers as it is to everyone else."
MMOGs are big business, and one would think that Microsoft would want to get in on that action as much as posible. Perhaps Microsoft should rethink the way Xbox Live works, seeing as how its inflexibility lost it something as potentially profitable as Final Fantasy XIV.

For once, you made a thread that I actually like Stan. Good job.
And in regards to the 360, I'm glad 14 isn't coming to it. There is no way in hell that a 360 could support those graphics. My PC already falls behind enough in regards to the graphics, and I don't want to see any excuses based on the limitations of a specific console. You all know the Xblock would be the first to limit this game.
I own an Xbox and not a PS3, so I'm not biased here.

A thread where Stan doesn't say much himself is a good thread. I hate cryptic English.

I now have to spend a couple of hundred pounds so my fiance can play FFXIV with me ; ;
It will probably be the only game he plays on it.
He currently plays on the 360 and I play on PC.

I do own both consoles myself and although it is kinda stupid they're not releasing it for xbox considering the amount of people on it, you've got to be stupid to want to play it on xbox.
I promised myself it would be the last xbox I'd own due to obvious reliability issues.

Seems by reading that, that the only reason 360 isn't getting it is because they are a bunch of greedy ***.
I wholeheartedly agree with what they said, either Live needs to cut the *** and let people do ***for free, or suck it up and stop bitching.

In all my years of dealing with microsfot, short answer: No.
I would like to believe that they could perhaps learn that not every single little thing needs to have some price tag tacked onto it to make it seem like a viable thing to invest in.
Don't get me started on their so called games or shall we call them "Shamelessly reusing the same idea with new models"
I've owned a 360, played on it and used it for quite awhile, I only recently sold it maybe 2 years ago to get a PS3 because I finally realized that the potential that I thought the 360 was, was pretty much smoke and mirrors.
I've been happy with my PS3 since I got it, I'm not gonna say that I don't regret selling my 360 at times, because somewhat I do, I lost a few friends that I really can't get in touch with anymore, but I guess I will just have to make do until I can get enough money to perhaps get a new 360 (or by then whatever "new" console they may be thinking of shoving down our throats)

The new "360 Slim" is actually a decent console so far... Roommate has it. I'm just waiting to find out if it has a RROD problem like the original before I upgrade.

Ironically they seemed to have actually put a failsafe in this time around (this doesn't mean that it won't ultimately fail, as I know it probably will in time, as any console will)
Supposedly what it does is if it sees that there is a problem it will shut itself off before any damage is done, now if this is true or not, I do not know.
