There's something to shout about if you're looking forward to Final Fantasy XIV-- the game is now accepting applicants for its beta testing.
We've heard that the game is slated for release some time next year,
but this is one of the obvious indicators that it's closer than we
might have thought. So if you're as excited about the prospect of
getting to play the game as some of us, you probably clicked that link
before you read any further.
Ongoing discussions with Microsoft about how Final Fantasy XIV is to work with Xbox Live are partly to blame for the lack of announced 360 version, producer Hiromichi Tanaka told VG247 at GamesCom today.
“FFXI for 360; at that point PS2 didn’t have a hard disc [and] that was really difficult for us, but Xbox 360 had that from the beginning, so that really helped us. We managed to smoothly move onto 360 from the Windows version, so that was very good to us,” said the developer.
“However, for FFXIV, because 360 has its own policy with Xbox Live that is different from [the] internet, that’s something we’re in discussions with Microsoft [about], to come to an agreement. That’s one of the reasons it’s not going to be launched at that point.
