Square just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXIV for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFXIV for XSX or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Thought it said Final Fantasy XVI for a while.

I wonder...can I just login on Xbox and continue playing with what I have or would it ask me to create a new character instead?

 

[Kilau]

I want to be mad but I don’t know Roman numerals so I’m not sure what game this is.

 

[Neofire]

Microsoft finally got around to sending out that check lol. I'm curious though will those who play of Xbox have to pay for Xbox live and the ff14 subscription?

Quality! Cant wait to play this shit on xbox! At last square have stopped being cunts for once

Have they said if you can transfer your character from ps to xbox at all?

basically, you need a platform license on your SE account to play the game on each platform. I have the license for PS4 and PC so I can log into the game on either platform and use the same character/account. That means i bought the game twice but keep in mind that you only pay for one sub

If you knew that last part then nice, if not, you know it now

I've read this sentence several times word for word. Where does it originate from? Is this some kind of meme? I think I've only seen it in things related to Xbox.

I think it became a meme after FFXIII was announced to be multiplatform, coming to 360. It came from a forum post from a member here back then.
I could be completely wrong though.

I mean it is fine and all but be honest... anyone whoi want to play this probbaly have an account on pc.

Japanese Culture (I'm an Expert)

Japanese Culture (I'm an Expert) refers to a copypasta which spread primarily on NeoGAF making fun of a poster who claimed to be an expert on Japanese cult

It's a MMORPG, everything is server stored.
If now you can play the same character on PC and Playstation, no reason for it to change with Xbox, at least with the final game, the beta might use test servers.

 

[jimmypython]

this is probably a separate licence...I would get it on XB if I don't have to buy the client again

How soon is soon for the open beta?

Thats what I was hoping! I cant imagine starting again, I'm up to Shadowbringers lol.

Good for the games overall health and of course great for any Xbox owner who couldn't play on PC/PS but wanted to. Plus with the massive free trial i can see a lot of people trying it.
Playing the game for the first time, on a fresh server with a group of friends and new sprouts, they should have a great time.
I recently un-subbed before latest patch. Might return in 7.0 if story looks interesting.

Seriously. The FF11 beta was an awakening for me.
