Final Fantasy 14 could find its way to the Xbox One if Microsoft is willing to tweak some of its regulations. According to Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida, Square Enix is currently in discussions with Microsoft.

"Microsoft actually approached the Final Fantasy 14 team about the cross-platform opportunity," Yoshida told Polygon . "When our team reviewed the regulations that are associated with that, we realized that Microsoft may not have the experience or understanding of running an MMORPG as an online game genre just yet."The Final Fantasy 14 team expressed these concerns to Microsoft, saying there are "certain elements of its regulations that [Square Enix] would have to consider waived." The developer is currently awaiting Microsoft's response. Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn is available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. The game never came to Xbox because the system didn't support cross-platform play. However, Microsoft spent a good amount of time at E3 2016 touting the Xbox One's cross-play capabilities The game—which launched in 2013 on PlayStation 3 and in 2014 on PlayStation 4—got a new content patch just last week. Square Enix has said it'll "continue to fully support the PS3 through the 3.x series of patches."
