Final Fantasy MMO to be cross platform?

In an interview with Sage Sundai, Square's Global Online Producer, it was hinted that Square might be developing a new Final Fantasy MMO (massively multiplayer online) game. Not only that, but Sundai stated that this upcoming title will likely emerge on consoles other than the PS3, namely the PC and the Xbox 360.

"FFXI is a cross-platform online game so you can play from the Xbox 360 or PS2 in and also Windows. So for our next MMO, we’ll also consider this cross platform feature."

Sundai noted that a game's playability should be a greater factor in success than its format.

"Regardless of the platform they’re playing on, for online games, it might be pure content which attracts the player."

The news from Gamersquad will come as no surprise to those expecting Final Fantasy XIII to be released on multiple formats. Though nothing is definite as of yet, it could well be that the Final Fantasy series is no longer the Sony-exclusive it once was.
