    whilst i’m happy for more people to have access to games, you really gotta wonder how many people are going to jump into this on xbox. It’s not no-one of course, but it’s not gonna be many

      Just an anecdote, but on the ffxiv subreddit and discords I lurk around there have been a LOT of xbox players going through the free trial for the first time. Considering you can play a lot for free and the series S being somewhat cheap, I can see this being a fair boon to the game.

      If FF XIV becomes available fully on Gamepass, I’ll definitely give it my time. Yes, I know about the trial and stuff. But I’m not going to pay a subscription to play the full game when I’m already paying for Gamepass. No thank you.

        FFXIV will always require a subscription outside of the free trial. Game Pass will only give you the base game. But not all the expansions and only 30 days of playtime.

        It’s still a subscription MMO.

          I understand that, but I absolutely refuse to pay a subscription for a single game, no matter how good it is. Especially since I’m already paying for a Gamepass subscription.

          That’s just how I roll.

        You dropped an X.

        I was really confused for a moment. With that said, FFIV is a great game and I had fun with the 3D remake. I never got around to playing “The After Years” though.

      To be fair, they have a pretty large PS userbase and the game is very accessible through controller. I know I would’ve gotten onto it on Xbox if that was an option when I was still on console.

      I have to imagine that it will be similar to when FFXI dropped on Xbox 360 after being a PC/PS2 exclusive for years. At that time, it increased the player base dramatically and introduced an entirely new demographic of player to the mmo. It really breathed new life into the game.
