The reaction to Lightning’s inclusion in Final Fantasy XIV was largely expected, according to producer/director Naoki Yoshida. Speaking with fellow network site, RPG Site, Yoshida discussed a variety of topics, including his reasoning for including Lightning in the XIV universe.
Today, during a pane at PAX East, Square Enix announced the release date of the next expansion Dawntrail, on top of the editions and more.
The MMORPG will arrive on Xbox consoles on 21st March following its open beta, with Square Enix releasing further details on the launch in a new Lodestone blog post.
Not only is Game Pass required to play the game in full, but FFXIV Coins will be required to make purchases - a new currency not used on PC or PlayStation.
What's even the point if they're doing everything possible to convince people NOT to play?
Bad idea. Kind of at the point its almost like a repeat of FFXI on the 360 with it requiring Gold to play.
Greed greed nothing but greed. Anyone who willingly plays 14 on Xbox is a bona fide sucker.
Kotaku writes: "That’s thanks to a series of announcements from Square Enix about exclusive features and play requirements, the latest being a new currency called FFXIV Coins."
Misguided belief in her popularity?
Why don't you just admit higher ups told you to put her in the game because they have been obsessed for years to shove her down peoples throats so we'll finally love her....when in fact it's just making the majority of us hate her even more.
I'd understand if Cloud, Squall, Zidine, Tidus got their own missions where they appeared but that isn't happening.
Costumes/weapons from FF13 fair enough but Lightning herself...why ruin it.
By the way he didn't really explain did he....he pretty much danced his way round the question
Lightning is the favourite female character in Japan and Europe. That's why she's in FFXIV:ARR.

That's all. You can complain but still, there's a substantial majority of people happy with that.
They should just remake ff7 with updated graphics... sure a world that big with modern graphics would be hard to make but the effort would pay off I'm sure. Squares current buisness model surely isn't working after all
