FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Coming to PS4 “Sooner Than You Might Think”

August 29, 2013

Final Fantasy will be joining the next-gen party a lot earlier than previously thought.

Speaking to 4Gamer, producer and director Naoki Yoshida was asked to update fans on when the PS4 is expected to debut, to which he replied:

Sooner than you might think. (laughs)

Many developers have stated during interviews that porting games to the PS4 is a very friendly experience. Its unified hardware with x86 architecture has led to quick development cycles, such as PlanetSide 2‘s introduction to console later this year.

During our interview with Yoshida, he confirmed that PS4 players will be able to play with PS3 and PC. Progress on any platform will carry over the others, including PS4.

FFXIV: A Realm Reborn debuted on PC and PS3 this week, and is scheduled to release on PS4 during 2014. Given Yoshida’s response chances are it’ll be during the early months of the year, primarily March.
