A potential remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics has been in the rumour mill for several years at this point, and even though official word on whether or not it exists remains elusive, Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida – who’s also the director and producer of Final Fantasy 14 – has indicated that he, at the very least, is personally interested in seeing Final Fantasy Tactics be brought back.
Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox Will Have Another Quirk To It

As Final Fantasy 14 prepares to launch on Xbox Series X/S, Square Enix has revealed that Xbox console players will need to use a new currency called the «FFXIV Coin» to pay for services and optional items. Square Enix then stated the new currency is exclusive to Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox consoles, but did not state all the services it would be used for.
The announcement arrived three days before Final Fantasy 14's planned launch on Xbox Series X/S. The developers stated the Xbox version of the critically acclaimed MMORPG would go live on Thursday, March 21, at 4:00 AM Eastern, just two days after the release of Patch 6.58 to the game. Patch 6.58 will fix some outstanding issues, and make some PVP job balance adjustments. As for the Xbox version of Final Fantasy 14, its launch will arrive after a month of open beta testing, in which Xbox Series X/S console players tested the free trial version of the game at no added cost. While the free trial will continue once the Xbox version of Final Fantasy 14 is released, the same restrictions on player interactions will carry over.
Though Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox will require Xbox Game Pass on top of the game's individual subscription, another payment method will also be necessary for some purchases. Paying for some of Final Fantasy 14's services on Xbox consoles will require a new currency called the «FFXIV Coin» that can be obtained from the Microsoft Store. Players must link their Xbox and Square Enix accounts before purchasing FFXIV Coins. After purchasing some FFXIV Coins, players must log into Final Fantasy 14 via the Xbox client to add them to their Square Enix account. The exact ratio of real money to FFXIV Coins is unknown at the time of writing.
Square Enix stated that purchases made on the Mog Station and Online Store will only use FFXIV Coins when accessed from the Xbox client. Square Enix clarified that the Mog Station and the Online Store will still use current payment methods, including credit and debit cards when accessed from a desktop or mobile browser. Square Enix reminded players that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can claim theFinal Fantasy 14 Starter Edition as a Perk until April 19, but announced no further benefits.
Between the launch of Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox and the long-awaited test for cross-region Data Center Travel, the end of March is a busy time for both Square Enix and players. Only time will tell how much use the FFXIV Coin system will see.
Final Fantasy XIV's original release was less-than-stellar, with many fans blasting the game for its array of issues. This prompted developers to cancel the MMO and rebuild it as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Since then, the title has seen a massive resurgence and has quickly become one of
