For the past 10 years, Final Fantasy XIV has been one of the most popular and beloved Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) on the market. But while this franchise has been able to stand its ground through the years on PlayStation consoles, Xbox players have had to wait in the sidelines and watch as others around them experience the incredible world of Eorzea. That wait is now officially over, as Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XIV is heading to the Xbox One and the Xbox Series X|S later this year.
This announcement marks the first time that Final Fantasy XIV has ever been available on the Xbox platform, and will bring with it a richer and more expansive experience for players. Not only will Xbox players have access to all the classic content and missions they’ve come to expect from Final Fantasy XIV, but they’ll also have access to some of the game’s more recent additions, like the Shadowbringers expansion.
Of course, with this new announcement comes a lot of questions. How will the controls be adapted to a controller? What will the loading times be like? Have the graphics been tweaked or will they remain the same? Thankfully, Square Enix has stated that they’re developing the game for the Xbox platform from the ground up, which means that players should be able to expect a near-perfect experience from the get go.
As always, Final Fantasy XIV is a subscription based game and Xbox players will need to purchase a subscription in order to play. Fortunately, Square Enix has offered players the ability to play the game for free, up to level 35, so they can get a feel for the game before committing to a full subscription.
Final Fantasy XIV is one of the most highly anticipated games of the year, and with its upcoming release on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, players on all platforms will finally have the chance to experience what makes this MMORPG such a hit. It’s been a long wait, but the wait is officially over and Final Fantasy XIV is finally headed to Xbox.
