Earlier in the week Square Enix decided to tell the world that there is no Final Fantasy XIV for the XBox 360 and then went on to say they might do it anyway. It was very annoying and resulted in me talking about pineapples to try and cover my mistake of posting non-news.
Tanaka is back today with an update to the story. As we speculated, XBox Live is the problem.
“The main reason why we couldn’t go with Xbox 360 was the Xbox Live system. [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 couldn’t come to an agreement on Xbox Live.”
It is a shame XBox 360 owners will lose out the next Final Fantasy as it’s… Oh hang on, Tanaka has not finished.
“We’re still talking [to Microsoft]“

Pineapples! Genetically modified pineapples! Angelina Jolie and dancing bears! Etc.

I don’t remember any online HD game being compatible between PS3 and 360.
A shame, I say.
