Final Fantasy XIV Online Beta To Start This September?

If Xbox 360 users are looking for someone to blame for the stagnant development of Square Enix’s MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Online for the 360, kindly address your concerns to Microsoft.

Square Enix producer Hiromichi Tanaka explained the issue to VG247 at GamesCom, saying, “Because 360 has its own policy with Xbox Live that is different from [the] internet, that’s something we’re in discussions with Microsoft [about], to come to an agreement.”

Tanaka went on to say that this policy dispute is one of the primary reasons why the game hasn’t been announced for the 360, and why it will only be launching on the PlayStation 3 and PC next year. While this is certainly sad news for 360 owners who are really looking forward to the game, it’s a nice change of pace to hear about Microsoft’s console holding up development of a game for a change.

Don’t you agree?

    I hated Final Fantasy XI MMO so I have NO interest in another one.

    Wow that's a twist. MS needs to do something before they piss off the FF Fanatics.

    ya double subscriptions is stupid. Fantasy star universe was like that. and its nice to see that some out there don't want to make that happen. But FSU also was available even if you didnt have a live subscription so i don't see why that wouldn't work and FFXIV will get all its money

    Why do I even care, Final Fantasy XI sucked, not like FF should even be online. If I've learned anything from gaming is that once you make an MMO in a series it all goes downhill from there.
