Battlefield games have had separate servers for each consoles since the PS2 days
Sony is the reason Final Fantasy XIV isn't on XBO and Switch

I don't think that has been stated at all, plus a MS first party title SOT doesn't allow you to opt out of crossplay (there is probably more.)
It's been known.
Sad to see a great game being held hostage by Sony.
At least it's available on PC too.

that was an exception to the rule and it never happened again for 360
so MS was demanding their own servers? I wonder it this is why Elder Scrolls Online has separate servers for each platform because it did launch on XB1.
I think I read this article before, I think the OP may be injecting their own words and thoughts into the direction of this. Nowhere did Yoshi-P say it was Sony that are preventing them from doing this. Dude...
Actually this was already discussed on the other site and now it's just raised from the dead with a new title, and some pushes in a specific direction to make it seem to be Sony even though Yoshi-P said "I hope those first parties change their policies or mindsets." Though the OP want's people to ignore that because Yoshi-P may have meant party with a ;) on his face.

If that is true then how in the hell am I not able to opt out of cross platform play in Sea of Thieves?
i think sony might allow cross play if every 1st purchase is made on playstation, would xbox allow that?
I think the issue is that FF14 is an MMO and Yoshida would like everyone across platforms to be able to play together.
It was, back in the ps3 era MS was against merging servers so Square went PC+ PS3 servers
But people are quick to forget that lol
No one is stopping them from making the other versions, like any other online multiplayer games. Seperate server isn't a factor if SE is confident of the game to appeal.
Fortnite is PC/Mobile/xbox or PC/Mobile/ps4, rocket league is PC/Xbox/switch or Pc/Ps4, Minecraft is Pc/Mobile/Xbox/Switch or PS4 and there are more Xbox/switch crossplay games out there as well, so i would definitely say Sony is holding it back
Thank you. It is why Yoshida-san said:"I hope those first parties change their policies or mindsets".
Meaning that if it was just Sony he would have said so, but he calls out more than one party's policies.
Then they must have changed it. I haven’t played SoT outside the beta lol. Calm down.
If it helps, someone mentioned to me this is the same case with Rocket League but I haven't played that game much to be able to tell lol
So I guess the policy is either gone or Microsoft suddenly stopped caring about said policy for some reason
Neverwinter, Tera and ESO all have separate servers, that’s not really a good excuse.
It sounds like the service just doesnt include PS4. It isn't Sony's service.
It states they're able to share My Room but not actually use the cloud service. I don't see how that's explicitly Sony's doing.
Besides, i could have sworn back on the PS3 days, Yoshida namedropped MS for this very issue
Yes it is, FFXIV has a shitload of servers. Like, a shit ton of them. I don't think splitting the userbase is a wise move.

If Yoshi actually stated that he hopes Sony changes it's policy or mindsets, why isn't it being quoted together? It sounds more like the author used a part of Yoshi's statement, put his own personal thoughts together with it, and tried to push it as if it came from Yoshi, himself.
Er... yes? Gamerevolution are offering their own spin on that same Eurogamer interview (The only source they cite) that you are in order to make it look like they have something new to add, when in reality they have no more information on the matter than anyone else who read the EG article. Maybe you should take your own advice and actually read the articles you are linking :)
how was it uncertain? most of the titles people want full crossplay in have their own servers
Actually a thread for this was already created, it wasn't the old site but this forum lol

The game is not on other consoles because Square doesn't want a splintered community. This has not stopped dozens and dozens of other developers of porting their games to other platforms.
Sony's policy on this regardless of what we think about it has been the same for years. Saying that this is Sony fault alone is a stretch.
If anything this makes me think that Square doesn't believe that the game would amass a healthy enough community on Xbox and Switch alone, so they need the playstation user base to make the game viable on those platforms.
The Eurogamer article (and Yoshida) don't even single out Sony and the GameRevolution article adds it in as an assumption but it's been previously stated by Yoshida that is isn't Sony that is the issue, it's Microsoft

Oh my god, the OP of this thread actually posts in the other thread about this very same article. What the heck is going on? haha

"We have no intention to divide the servers per platform - we're working with one big community. I'm interested in other platforms, of course - I hope those first parties change their policies or mindsets. I'm an MMORPG gamer - I'd love to play with many people globally, and we've been talking to those platforms about getting it on their hardware. Positive discussion is ongoing. It's not as if we're not doing anything - we are actually talking to them, and the platform holders are showing their attitude in a more positive way."
where does he outright say it's sony?
That's because Yoshida never did say that, it's conjecture from GameRevolution. In fact he's stated Microsoft as the problem a few times over the years.
The word “Sony” doesn’t appear at any point in the article....so you just made that part up :/...that’s real misleading, no?
Let them in their island, make it to the other platforms with cross-play.
I mean, it's really that difficult? Or they think it's not worth the investiment?

This is most likely true. It's also most likely true that MS current policy of being open to cross-play is because they are losing so bad to Sony, both in terms of sales and mindshare.
The “how in the hell” is aimed at MS not you lol, it's unbalanced as fuck and it sucks.
Hey, college essays are filled with 2-word quotations in 3-lined sentences. You do what chu gotta do.
Oh come one, how would we get all these great threads otherwise.
Great to see your old avatar back
But we now know that this isn't the case. Microsoft may have changed their policy since the time of your links but either way Microsoft allow cross-play with Nintendo so they do not have any problems with cross-play.
It shows nothing, because we don't know who asked for the caveat of keeping Switch and PS4 users aside, nor why it was asked, and how.
You should read the original article, and not the misquote by a website that apparently prefers to replace the original word of the developer with its own interpretation for controversy and clicks sake. Not that they're new to that.
Yoshida makes no mention of Sony in the original quote.
"We have no intention to divide the servers per platform - we're working with one big community. I'm interested in other platforms, of course - I hope those first parties change their policies or mindsets. I'm an MMORPG gamer - I'd love to play with many people globally, and we've been talking to those platforms about getting it on their hardware. Positive discussion is ongoing. It's not as if we're not doing anything - we are actually talking to them, and the platform holders are showing their attitude in a more positive way."
"those first parties" =/= "Sony."
And Kokonoe isn't wrong either. Nintendo has been okay with crossplay since the Wii with Dragon Quest X, and okay with Crossplay on Wii U with that game and a chess game, and the Switch has several crossplay titles out now or coming out soon that let you play with Xbox players.
Agreed. Thread title is misleading. It should be stated that this is the conjecture of the OP.
If read carefully Sony is not inside the quotation marks meaning he didn't imply or mention Sony directly but the author implied it. That's how you really read an article.
Figures. People are just tripping over themselves to get their hot take in lol
