Final Fantasy XIV har kronede dage på PlayStation og PC, og har konstant voksende antal aktive spillere. For lang, lang tid siden afslørede Microsoft at spillet også ville komme til Xbox, men det er hele tre år siden, og mange har antaget at den plan er direkte skrottet.
I et interview med Game Watch er Spencer blevet spurgt om Square Enix stadig arbejder på en Xbox-version af det populære MMORPG, og her svarede han:
"We certainly announced that (laughs). Naturally, we haven't given up yet. This is a commitment from both Microsoft and Square Enix to gamers and we will continue to coordinate our efforts."
Der lader til at være problemer med Microsofts regler, og i et interview med WCCFTech forklarer instruktør Naoki Yoshida følgende:
"To play an MMORPG [on Xbox], there are 2 regulations for Microsoft which stand in the way of making crossplay feasible. Unless these regulations are rejected, there is no meaning. One of the regulations is that players with different platforms cannot chat with each other in-game. Then how do you play an MMO? The other regulation is you cannot make a community with plays on a different platform. You can't form a guild, you can't enter into a link shell, [and] no free company. So I would like to have Microsoft change their regulations."
