Final Fantasy 14 boss wants cross-platform play with Xbox One
Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn producer and director Naoki Yoshida wants to release an Xbox One version of the MMO, but cross-play between all versions is a must, something Microsoft doesn't want to be a part of. 
Speaking with Pocket-Lint at E3, Yoshida said Square Enix is in talks with Microsoft regarding the possibility.
“We really want to do an Xbox One version,” Yoshida said. “As a big Xbox player myself. The thing is, A Realm Reborn is all about cross-platform compatibility. Anybody from any platform can play together.
“We don’t want to split our community into people who play on this platform or play on that one. So we’re currently in talks with Microsoft, trying to convince them that this is what needs to happen.”
Final Fantasy 11 was available on Xbox 360 and allowed users to play with others on PC and PS3 through Square’s Servers, so the possibility isn’t completely gone.
