Today, Square Enix announced that its successful MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV,
is on its way to Xbox consoles after years of being a PlayStation console
exclusive. And to hear the CEO of Square Enix tell it, it sounds like Xbox
has successfully ensured that even more Square Enix games will end up on its
consoles in the coming years.
今天，Square Enix宣布，其成功的MMORPG《最终幻想 XIV》在多年为PlayStation
独占之后，即将登陆Xbox。据Square Enix首席执行官透露，Xbox似乎已成功确保未来几
年将有更多Square Enix游戏出现在其游戏机上。
During the Final Fantasy Fan Fest 2023, Final Fantasy XIV game director Naoki
Yoshida (Yoshi-P) welcomed Xbox head Phil Spencer onto the stage alongside
Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu to celebrate the Xbox release announcement.
While onstage, Kiryu made the following statement:
在 2023年《最终幻想》粉丝节期间，《最终幻想 14》游戏总监吉田直树(Yoshi-P)迎
来了Xbox负责人菲尔·斯宾塞 (Phil Spencer) 与Square Enix首席执行官桐生隆
(Takashi Kiryu)一起登上舞台，庆祝Xbox发布公告。桐生在台上发表了以下声明：
"And one more thing: as CEO of Square Enix, we want to continue to deliver
fabulous games to fans across the world. And of course, we want to welcome
the Xbox community as well. And starting with today's announcement of Final
Fantasy XIV coming in spring 2024, and whenever possible, we are planning to
bring our games to Xbox for players around the world to enjoy. We're really
looking forward to working closely with Phil and the Xbox team to make this
possible."
“还有一件事：作为SquareEnix 的首席执行官，我们希望继续为世界各地的粉丝提供精
彩的游戏。当然，我们也希望欢迎Xbox社区。从今天宣布《最终幻想14》在2024年春季
将推出在Xbox，只要有可能，我们计划将我们的游戏带到Xbox，供世界各地的玩家享受。
我们非常期待与 Phil 和 Xbox 团队密切合作，使这一切成为可能。”
In response, Spencer said the following:
对此，斯宾塞说道：
"Thank you Kiryu-san. we deeply respect the rich legacy of Square Enix, and
we look forward to building on the relationship that we've established in
bringing Final Fantasy XIV to the Xbox, and partnering closely with you and
the Square Enix team on future games."
“谢谢桐生先生。我们深深尊重Square Enix的丰富资产，我们期待在将《最终幻想
XIV》带到 Xbox 时建立的关系基础上再接再厉，并与您和Square Enix团队于未来密切
合作。”
On its face, the idea that Square Enix wants its games on Xbox consoles might
not seem that strange, but there's a lot of fascinating context surrounding
this statement that makes it a bit extraordinary. Square Enix has long been
the subject of exclusivity deals with both Xbox and PlayStation over the
years that have pushed its games toward one console or another for the
duration of their launch periods, or even permanently. Most recently, Final
Fantasy XVI launched exclusive to PlayStation consoles, and there's been no
word yet on an Xbox release.
从表面上看，Square Enix希望在Xbox主机上推出游戏的想法似乎并不奇怪，但围
绕这一声明有很多令人玩味的背景，这使得它有点不同寻常。多年来，Square Enix一直
是与Xbox和PlayStation达成独家协议的主题，这些年来，这些协议将其游戏在发布
期间甚至永久地推向一款或另一款游戏机。最近，《最终幻想 XVI》推出了
PlayStation游戏机独占版本，目前还没有关于Xbox版本的消息。
The gravitation of Square Enix toward PlayStation has been a serious concern
for Xbox, though, as we saw during the recent FTC v. Microsoft trial. One
evidence document revealed that Xbox had seriously considered buying Square
Enix in 2019, though we did not learn from that document why the deal never
occurred. Square Enix also came up repeatedly during the trial, with Final
Fantasy XVI used as an example of the kinds of games PlayStation was buying
exclusivity rights to in a frustrating but acknowledged part of games market
competition. From the trial, we learned how critical it has become to Xbox to
stuff its library full of content, and to ensure it isn't missing out on
major games like FFXVI.
In light of that, it's no surprise that Spencer has been courting Square Enix
for franchises like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Nier, Just Cause, and many
more. While neither Kiryu nor Spencer elaborated on specifics, their
willingness to take the stage together today perhaps hints at a future with
fewer PlayStation exclusivity deals for Square Enix content, and more Square
Enix content on GamePass.
Today's Fan Fest keynote was a busy one. Aside from the Xbox announcement, we
got updates on the new Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail expansion, a major graphics
update for the game, a mysterious T-shirt tease, and a confirmation that no,
Dawntrail does not include Blitzball (sorry).

只有索索受伤的世界完成了

一楼在说啥？FF14打一开始就可以在PS上玩

可怜 只能吃剩饭

一楼的意思就是FF16后 突然不独占PS了 早不跨晚不跨

索尼没血缘的亲儿子叛变了？

怎么FF16销售一阵子后 突然宣布以后会多跨XBOX呢

现在的市场有能力就该弄全平台

这算哪门子只有索尼受伤的世界 你说以后FF不会出在ps再来说

se比较像钱谁给的多就靠哪边吧

我觉得开发商心态应该都要向卡普空学习啦，多上一个平台就是多赚

金钱的战争 哪个拔拔钱多SE就往哪边靠

三厂搞独占真的没啥好处 除非有大笔独占费

索尼爸爸没同意过你以为他们敢私下乱搞吗

蛤 14上xbox == 他妈的产能不够会拿被ps拖累当借口的制作组再多搞一个平台

游戏的质跟量有老任程度的确可以玩独占

当初13听说就是要上xbox砍了后期内容 嘻嘻

FF16独占PS平台也只是限时的，一定会再跨PC

FF16皇家版登陆XBOX，感谢索粉试玩

14接着15然后给你7-10 HD冷饭对吧

好，8版跨switch2，称霸全平台（乱讲

话说DQ完整版上NS会被笑性能阉割 那FF完整版上XBOX是不是就真的可以感谢索粉试玩了呢(

SE:以后独占费对给一点阿 索索

ff16独占ps5但没说16皇家版独不独占

现在独占都限时的了，而且连索尼自己也搞移植了FF16一直都是说没那么快上PC，而不是不上PC

其他就算了 FF14可是xbox方的问题

索尼：禁止禁止破防了

之前吉田来台受访就公开说PC版会在秋季完成了

迟早问题吧，只有FF16主机独占，换个名称就能跨了就跟仁王1那种玩法就能跨了

感谢索尼支持者试玩 debug 公测

专心做pc啦干

索尼又被背刺啦！ 上一次是ff13

尽可能，那就是看心情囉

FF7re先上再说吧 索尼都限时独占结束多久了

GK不是最喜欢笑有料Beta

应该会类似FF7 Intergrade那种玩法吧

笑了 就不要最后xbox效能跑出来比较好

GK会说那是剩饭好吗

一楼也没说错啦，有些索粉只要看到老IP跨平台就会崩溃

晚来就不要了...

独占的时代早就过去了,现在是能跨就跨

这...当年14没上是微软的锅啊而且XV不是同步发售吗

加个DLC 改版上其他平台在回收一次开发费 钻烂

ＤＱ还反移植回PS画质一样…
