Final Fantasy XIV has not been cancelled for Xbox 360, but it is on pause, producer Hiromichi Tanaka told VG247 at Gamescom.

Final Fantasy XIV is slated to release September 30 for PC and in March 2011 for PS3, and previous indications had Xbox 360 development completely out of the picture.

Tanaka said the cancellation rumors are completely false.

“We’re still talking with Microsoft at the moment so there is no update as to when we’ll start again,” he said. The only roadblock lies in Xbox LIVE restrictions, which were also the issue when development was first halted earlier this year.

What do you think this means for the future of MMOs on Xbox LIVE? Do you Xboxers out there want to see Final Fantasy XIV on your console? Tell us in the comments!

That would be more interesting for 360 owners compared to Gun Loco.

Its good to know that SE wants the game to come on the 360.

I honestly don't give a shit, I hated ff11 and this is pretty much the same to that.

how many people here actually bought and played FF11???final fantasy as a MMO is pretty much worthless

I think the comments and backtracking from SE makes it pretty obvious there's some sort of timed console release exclusivity deal going on with Sony. But as many have already mentioned, you've already got a well established FF MMO on the 360 already, so it's no one's loss (or gain for that matter).

Nah, originally the game was meant to be 360/PC but MS has some Live policies that really discourage MMO devs. Blizzard talked about them and SE did too, they canceled development when they couldn't get MS to drop them.
