Square Enix was Interested in Final Fantasy XI on PS3
Why didn't it happen? Evidently, the person at Sony they were talking to quit.
There are lots of ways you can play the everlasting Final Fantasy XI -- on your PC, your Xbox 360, and even (in case you've forgotten) on a hard drive-equipped PlayStation 2. Where many people can't play it, though, is on PlayStation 3s, as most models lack backwards compatibility. But when we caught up with the FFXI development team at the Fan Fest event in Hollywood, California over the weekend, we learned an interesting tidbit: It turns out Square Enix was indeed looking into the possibility of releasing a version of FFXI for the PS3, until they ran into a small snag.
"Initially we were in talks with a representative from Sony [to achieve this], but it appears that that person quit," said FFXI producer Hiromichi Tanaka, inducing laughter from the rest of the team. Tanaka also explained why it's a little more complicated to make the PS2 version work than, say, simply releasing some sort of patch or update for the PS3. "[Current] PS3s don't have PS3-side PS2 emulation, and it doesn't look like Sony has any plans to address that issue. For that kind of thing to even be conceivable, it would have to be on a disc. Digital downloads wouldn't work for this. The disc has to be in the system for the emulator to work."
Exactly why their discussions with Sony couldn't have continued with a different representative isn't clear, but for now, it seems that's the end of the matter -- no Final Fantasy XI for the PlayStation 3. If you happen to have the game in one of its three other iterations, though, be sure to check out our full interview with the development team, as well as our immensely thorough wrap-up of the Fan Fest developer's panel for tons of info on the upcoming new updates.
