FFXIV players bewildered as new currency makes Xbox \u201cthe worst place to play\u201d Square EnixFinal Fantasy XIV players expressed their confusion at the new currency implemented for Xbox players, making it one of the \u201cworst\u201d places to play the MMO. Final Fantasy XIV is one of the most popular MMOs available at the moment. With a fantastical story, friendly community, and tons of content both casual and hardcore to complete, it\u2019s struck a chord with millions of gamers. That is if you can even get into the game in the first place. With a pretty lengthy and confusing process to register and create an account, it\u2019s easily one of the biggest bars to entry for Square Enix\u2019s renowned MMO. With the recent opening of the Xbox beta players were hoping that this process would be more simplified, but, that\u2019s not the case, with a new currency that has left players scratching their heads. In order to pay for service fees and optional items on Xbox\u2019s version of FFXIV, players will need to have FFXIV Coins. Therefore if users want to renew their subscription they\u2019ll need to transfer their real-life money into this new currency, further complicating the already lengthy process. \u201cIt\u2019s so funny that we\u2019ve been begging SE to make account management and billing more simplified for 10 years and instead of doing that they made it even more complicated for no reason\u201d one user stated. Players theorized this is Microsoft\u2019s way of getting \u201ctheir cut\u201d, now with the MMO on their consoles as well. \u201cThe issue with FF14 not being on Xbox before was due to them wanting their own servers or having users pay for Live while also paying for their subscription to 14.\u201d Some went so far as to say that this makes Xbox the \u201cworst\u201d console to play on. \u201cLet\u2019s not forget- you NEED Xbox Live to play online, but not for PlayStation\u2026 Xbox is the WORST place to play FFXIV,\u201d they claimed. With the Xbox launch going ahead on March 21st, 2024, only time will tell how this new currency will affect the growing console player base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
