“We were able to undertake development and provide our service thanks to the immense efforts that Phil has invested. However, Yoshida did offer the inkling of some exciting news with VG247, There are no obstacles for developing the Xbox version,” Yoshida said. So it kind of exponentially grows the amount of resources that needs to be allocated.” The amount of work that goes into different aspects of the game takes considerable time due to the team’s meticulousness: “ We have to think about long-term planning with additional platforms, we need additional testing for that particular platform. Yoshida seemed to be less confident in an Xbox version of Final Fantasy XIV Online when talking to The Washington Post. In two different interviews with The Washington Postand VG247, producer Naoki Yoshida commented on the likelihood that players would get to explore Eorzea with their friends on Xbox consoles.

Square Enix is busy finishing up Endwalker ahead of its planned release date later this year, which will act as the final expansion in a storyline which began almost ten years ago. “Now when it comes to the Xbox version, there’s unfortunately not much I can say presently but just that we cannot work on all the steps simultaneously and need to follow the order for proceeding with these things,” Yoshida-san explained to me.
