Back in November last year, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer commented that nine Final Fantasy games were coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2020, and later addressed MMO Final Fantasy XIV, indicating that while it wasn't in the list, "rest assured, we will bringing that game to Xbox".
In a recent interview with Twinfinite, Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida shed more light on Final Fantasy XIV coming to Xbox, highlighting that Phil Spencer is "very dedicated" in his quest to bring the title to the platform. However, he says he hasn't considered adding the game to Xbox Game Pass due to it being a "subscription-model game".
In a follow-up, Yoshida noted that he hopes "one day, Phil and I can stand shoulder to shoulder and create an opportunity for gamers around the world to enjoy FFXIV even more."

The more JRPGs on Xbox the better.
Enhanced for Xbox series x. We can dream.
i can understand it NOT coming to game pass, it is after all a game that requires a subscription by itself
plus with series x on the way i think it's more likely it will be released on that if it gets a xbox release
This game coming to Xbox will be a dream come true, it's been far too long.
I've put some serious hours in on PS3 and then PS4 but I really want the complete edition they've just launched to come to Xbox. Pleeeeeease 😁
Nah, Sony can keep it. Was never one much for MMOs in general.
FF7 Remake, on the other hand... that's welcome any time of day in my book. 😉
@Grot @Incarna actually the reason it's not on XBOX currently is Microsofts fault, Sony isn't "!Holding it hostage" they have no say it the matter, apparently it's because the in game chat and guild system is against MS's policy

@Grot yeah although they still block MMO's behind XBL Gold, even free to play ones, for example Star Trek Online is on the XB1 and it's free to play but you still need XBL to play it
surface to say while both have made improvements in some areas they still need to work on others
personally i would like FFXIV to come to XB1 because of the way Square Enix link a console ID to a Square ID i can not access the game on PS4 at all because i was in the original Beta but i have no idea what Square account i used and i can't change it so the game is unplayable on PS4 for me, if it came to XB1 i could finally play it
@Grot yeah i'll look into it at some point, when all the stuff at work dies down and i have the energy to
I haven't played this in years, but I did like it. Jumped from PS3 to PS4.
Not sure what the hold up is in bringing it to Xbox. Some bonkers red tape somewhere. I'm not interested in getting it on Xbox personally, but a Switch version I wouldn't mind
As long as it comes to Xbox, I really don't care how it gets here. It really has been far too long.
