Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

I wonder how much Microsoft paid Square Enix to get this?

It still is an PS3 exclusive in Japan... at the end of the new trailer, it says "for PS3 only in Japan"

"for PS3 only in Japan"

we can assume there MIGHT be a 2 different version for Final Fantasy XIII

i'm just going to take whichever has more stuff on it XD

if both console gets same version then i'll stick with PS3 since i get to play Versus then

unless.... SE pulls off another surprising announcement XD

They didn't. Rising costs in game development as well as the fact ps3 isn't doing to ho outside of Japan will have forced them to make that leap to shift units.

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

In terms of games there isn't much difference between 360 and PS3. I hope Sony make some big announcements and get more exclusives because PS3 is a great console but it isn't being used to it's potential.

well if you believe that... I got a bridge to sell ya...
its not cheap to port a game over to another console. at the very least they are paying for that if not shaving points off of their cut.

But with that said... what the hell is Sony doing? The PS3 is an amazing piece of hardware and yet they seem to be kicking themselves in the ass left and right when it comes to it. We'll be lucky to see Home before 2010, not to mention they are still allowing game makers to make PS2 games in Japan... what a disaster they have become.

Hey man, don't forget that the game is still coming to the PS3!!!!!

This is basically what Microsoft has been doing since the beginning of this generation. Just saying "me too" all the time. Games such as Assassin's Creed, Resident Evil 5 and GTA IV were going to be PS3 exclusive but eventually MS paid the developers to get those games over to the 360.

Of course Sony has also been copying Xbox Live, with features such as trophies (achievements) and other stuff, and Sony also has gotten games that were supposed to be 360 exclusives such as Bioshock.

This only shows that we are reaching a point where 3rd party exclusives are becoming very rare. Development costs are so high that the only way to recoup the money is to develop for any console available.

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

I think the reaction is a bit over exaggerated, its not a 360 exclusive!!!!!! Also I think its a PS3 time d exclusive so thos ewith ps3 will have played the game quite before those on 360.

They said that the decision was new so I doubt 360 version will be ready in time at the same with the PS3 version.

I've also heard PS3 has a secret exlcusive on the works which some that know of the game are really excited.

actually SE said lunch date on both console will be the same which is why the game still doesn't have the lunch date yet (but since in Japan, only PS3 will have FFXIII so their lunch date might be earlier than NA)

i hope to see some new trailers and such for FF Versus XIII on today's Sony conference which is in about 6 hours XD because if they don't then only game right now that is worth buying for PS3 now is Killzone 2 and Tekken 6

Spoiler: Don't miss the post title.

Final fantasy XIII is a traitor; Square must apologise!

You gotta love fanboys. XD

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

WFT! People are acting as if the game ain't gonna come out on the PS3.

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

Yes, I cannot understand it: true players must enjoy the games regardless the platform, but no, they're even thinking about suicide...

C'mon, games aren't real life, but some people are taking this subject too seriously, bashing others consoles because their favorite games aren't exclusive anymore...

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

I think people are upset because it's kind of a "breached" tradition. FF has been on just PS platforms for so long, that it's become like a cult, and now that it's going to be opened up to xbox, people feel like they are being betrayed. Part of me is like, wtf? XBOX? D: And part of me is like "sweet, now I don't have to buy a PS3 >.>" It's like broken loyalty, I guess you could say. It's like your favorite football team lets an opposng teaam use an awesome player of theirs. If you get my drift...


Like I said, I'm a sony fan girl, but I have been disappointed with PS3 thus far. There's few good games for it; honestly, it's pretty much just a blu-ray player right now :/ (Actually, it's better than a number of actual blu-ray players on the market, though >.>) One of the reasons I couldn't decide which to get, XBOX or PS3, was because I wanted PS3 for FF, and XBOX for Live and all the awesome games. This kinda deletes my dilemma xD

My question, though, is anything going to be sacrificed as far as graphics and everything for XBOX? Because PS3 has the blu-ray/1080p deal, which is fucking neat, then that console will probably have the typical awesome graphics. Will xbox suffer any? Or does it have similar capabilities as far as that?

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

I don't think we'll see huge differences between the two version, aside the fact the game will come in about 4, 5 dvds for XBOX 360, which isn't a problem, if you ask me;

Regarding the graphics, probably they're be the same, IIRC, a guy from SquareEnix in an interview has said that the XBOX port won't suffer any disadvantage in comparison with the PS3 version, and if I'm not mistaken, 360 supports 1080p, at least mine has HDMI compatibility;

But some time in the past, Square did the same to Nintendo, when they announced FF7 for PLaystation 1; some players could feel a little betrayed, like you said, but with money, everything could happen in the games world;

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

Can I just say

Lol at Final Fantasy being console exclusive. What a load of testicles is coming from the gaming community as a whole in regards to this reaction. People really do seemingly forget that FF started out on Nintendo. Not to mention all the other spin of games that have been released, and the remakes.

To be honest I think this is the best possible move for square. They are reaching more audiences as a whole I for one a huge fan of the series am glad because I sure as hell aint hauling out 400 big ones sterling just to play two games.

What I find really hilarious though. Is everyone who shelled out so much money for a ps3 just to buy the game is now regretting it immensely because they could have gotten the cheaper console.

If any of you are out there.

Don't try to hide it =]

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

And to think I was going to get a PS3 in September... >_>

Mostly for Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm which looks beautiful, but now... ugh, I just don't know. If FF13 isn't going to be exclusive to PS3...

Heh, it's funny but Naruto may still determine me getting a PS3 in the end, since it's still PS3 exclusive. It was always going to be FF XIII though. xD

 

[JGSkpx0389]

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

hehe yeah i was gonna buy PS3 when FFXIII comes out.(i waited to buy PS3 to hope that price goes down by the time FFXIII comes out)

but now that it's going to come out for Xbox 360, i don't know which console to buy anymore XD but currently i'm still thinking of buying PS3 because of FF Versus XIII; since Versus is still currently PS3 exclusive

and i'm also wondering if SE made a choice to make FF for Xbox 360 for more profit... then why not for PC??? any thoughts on this?

 

[Gold Knight]

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

Well, Sony did announce that they would reduce the price tag of the PS3 to $300 by year's end. So it might still pay off to wait. I'm probably going to go ahead and get it in September though since Storm is coming out in October, plus I'll only have to pay for half the price tag due to it being my birthday then.

I still plan to buy a Wii eventually as well, though. As for PC I'm not sure if my computer's graphics card could handle FF XIII xD

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIII on Xbox 360!!!

Did SquareEnix make the wrong decision in releasing FF XIII on both systems and not FF XIII Versus?

It would seem to me that Versus has the better chance of selling more units than the standard FF. Versus is supposed to have a gameplay system closer to that of Kingdom Hearts... which means more action based gameplay... while FF XIII is probably going to be more reminiscent of the standard turn-based RPG. There are a lot of people that don't like RPG's for the sole reason of the turn-based gameplay. They find them boring. I mean, If I was trying to make back more money, the logical choice would be to port the game that appeals to more gamers...
