So, being someone who's been playing FF14(realm reborn) since the beta. I can agree with the frustration people have for the game not being on Xbox. While the companies have their hurdles and agreement issues that seem to be becoming few and far between, I think a big reason is more simple than that. The game itself wouldn't be able to handle another console. The game is pretty damn crowed as it is, and let's not forget how they stopped selling the game for a while physically and digitally because of how popular the game was becoming. I personally login almost every day and everytime I do there's a queue of people that I have to wait through just to begin playing. Sure its not always a long one, but that would def become a more normal and equally irritating consequence of having a flood of more players. Personally I'd love for Xbox to join the frey, I love running old content with low level toons just to help someone get that special something that they want. However, until greater investments into the hardware that actually runs and supports the game are made, I think they are just too comfy with how things are right now.
