It should be. But I dunno for sure, since the 360 uses Live and the PC version uses independant servers. But if they can get FFXI on the 360 to communicate via Live with PlayOnline and the PS2/PC version of the game, I don't see why they couldn't do the same with other PC ports.

Or is Squenix foregoing Live in favor of PlayOnline for the 360 version as well? Ie: do they include PlayOnline with the 360 version on disc, so FFXI just uses that instead of Live?

So how are they going to have FFXI on the 360 able to connect to the same servers that the PC and PS2 players use? Are they just not going to use Live at all with FFXI?

I think alot of the problem is that the PC version is usually a little different than the console version like the maps and so on. The servers seem to be an easy fix as long as they dont run on the Live servers.

There is suport for 3rd party subscription services. Only MMORPG will use that function from what I have read.

Yeah I think for the most part, most games are never cross-console/pc online compatible because small differences in the versions.
