Final Fantasy XIV is approaching the finish line of a lengthy relaunch process that has been in the public eye for almost a year. Part of that has been preparing the game for PlayStation 3, but the port's showing at E3 2013 made me less eager to witness this rebirth.
At Sony's E3 press conference, Square Enix announced that its upcoming relaunched MMO Final Fantasy XIV would be console exclusive to PlayStation. An Xbox version is unlikely because it wouldn't be able to tie into the game's cross-platform servers, which allow PC players to play with PS3 and PS4 players.
"If we published to Xbox One right now, it would essentially be an Xbox only community," director Naoki Yoshida explained. "An MMO is built on its community, and if it's weak, then what is the point?"

Final Fantasy 14's relaunch is imminent. Square Enix is starting to show off its new features, like the Full Active Time Events. Its initials spell "FATE," but that's probably just a coincidence.
Square Enix's rebooted MMO Final Fantasy XIV will be coming to PlayStation 4 in addition to its upcoming PS3 release. At Sony's E3 press conference, the company pointed out that the console version of Square Enix's MMO will be exclusive to PlayStation, meaning Xbox 360 and Xbox One will have to sit aside (for now).
The PS3 version will be available this August, while PS4 will be available on 2014.
Final Fantasy XIV has been going though a facelift, and fans of the MMO will finally be able to get a look at the new product when A Realm Reborn launches on August 27 for PC and PlayStation 3. Publisher Square Enix has also announced a special Collector's Edition for the game.
Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XIV will relaunch sometime this summer, after a third round of beta testing in June. The third phase will include testing on PlayStation 3, and offer cross-platform play.
Final Fantasy XIV is preparing to launch its beta tests, but can your rig handle it? The answer is probably "of course it can" for most PC enthusiasts, but just in case you have your doubts Square Enix has released a benchmark test.
Final Fantasy XIV is preparing to launch the beta of the "Realm Reborn" update, the large-scale revisions intended to fix many of the complaints regarding the original release. This is only phase one of a longer beta intended to last for several weeks.
If the amount of time being taken is any indication, Square Enix is being very careful and deliberate with the planned relaunch of Final Fantasy XIV. The company still hasn't given an official launch date, but signups for the beta have begun right now.
Square Enix hasn't been shy about admitting it mucked up Final Fantasy XIV. Company CEO Yoichi Wada apologized for the game in 2010, and began a restructuring process culminating in the upcoming Realm Reborn update. But all the apologies won't make a difference if Square's designers don't understand the missteps, and the new game director Naoki Yoshida is being very frank about where the first one went wrong.
"When I heard that it was going to go on sale as planned [after the beta], I thought, that will probably be a big mistake," he said.
Final Fantasy XIV continued its slow transition to "A Realm Reborn" over the weekend, but the world-ending events didn't go off without a hitch. A spike in traffic led to difficulties for some users who wanted to see how the proverbial end of the world would go down.
Final Fantasy XIV is getting ready to relaunch as "A Realm Reborn." To prepare for its November relaunch, character data will be saved for the last time on Wednesday.
As Square Enix whips Final Fantasy XIV into shape for a PC relaunch and PlayStation 3 debut, it's shared the first screenshots of its console edition. How well does a complex MMO interface work on a joypad, and how do the graphics fare on outdated hardware? Use your eyes to look and you may just find out.
Square Enix is gearing up for its reboot of Final Fantasy XIV, titled "A Realm Reborn." If a full hour of explaining the new systems and mechanics wasn't enough to satisfy, maybe some splashy editing in a bite-sized format is more to your liking.
The Tokyo Games Show trailer shows off some cinematic moments and promises lasting friendships, deadly foes, and plenty of adventuring. The update is due before the end of the year. Check out the trailer below.
Final Fantasy XIV was so shoddy at launch that Square Enix suspended subscriptions until after it had been patched up a bit. It's still a bit dodgy, but a huge 'Version 2.0' update is coming to reboot it and make everything lemony fresh, as detailed in a new hour-long presentation.
