They've confirmed that this will be cross-platform. In fact, rumor is that the reason why its not on the Xbox 360 (yet) is that thus far Microsoft has some sort of policy that forbids people on Xbox Live from playing in the same server as the PS3 people. SE is trying to convince MS to drop this policy.

Because its a completely different game from XI. Different battle system, different leveling system, different world, different races, etc.

Marketing. There are way too many FF spinoffs to count, so if they don't make this part of the main FF series, people aren't going to care. Plus XI and XIV are big-budget, quality releases, unlike the spinoffs. FF Online or whatever just don't cut it, as the creators have said.
