FFXIII FOR XBOX 360!!!

Re: FFXIII FOR XBOX 360!!!

I'm still waiting to find out of FF13 will be one of the good ones. There've been endless rumors and announcements about what system(s) it'll be on and the already planned spinoffs but we still know very little about the game itself.

I'd still get it for PS3.

Apparently Square decided to go multiplatform... but only in the West, since the Xbox 360 isn't really an option in Japan.

But, wow. People are saying that it's a not a big deal...but there's people like me who were beginning to wonder if they should buy a PS3 primarily because of FFXIII, and I can say with almost certainty that unless I suddenly find several thousand dollars lying on the street that it's not going to happen.

I mean, at this point can ANYONE justify to RPG fans that the PS3 is a better purchase than the 360? That's the funniest part of all this: the 360 is the RPG monster, yet it's dead last in Japan. That just goes to show how messed up this generation is.

There's still White Knight. I'll take Level-5 over Square anyday.

Everything Nomura touches is a bore anyway. (the first PE being the only exception)

Re: FFXIII FOR XBOX 360!!!

Well it's only now that the Xbox has become a JRPG machine. I mean, I can only count 3 major JRPGs on the Xbox 360 right now. True, it's more than the Wii or PS3 at this point, but that's still paltry considering the previous generation.

Also, none of the JRPGs on the Xbox 360 interest me and FFXIII has leaked enough information to have me fairly ambivalent about it.

Re: FFXIII FOR XBOX 360!!!

The Q and A just revealed that at this moment FFXIII Versus is still a PS3 exclusive, so it's not all bad news for Sony.

Curious if their ads will hype up that aspect when the game comes out?

Let me also state that I agree with the general sentiment that at this point it would not surprise me if SE announces FFVII remake exclusive for PS3, because that would definitely mitigate any damage done with this announcement. Of course, BECAUSE of this, you just know that it would be as haunted by "IT'S COMING TO 360 TOO!" rumors as MGS4 was (and will again be following this).

That states that it was previously announced as exclusive.

As for other links, it's kind of hard, because all the gaming sites are getting hammered pretty hard. I'll find some later tonight.

What? Where? The small blurb without a source? Uhm... please refer to my three links.

I totally agree. I'm not saying it isn't a big deal. Just saying it was kind of already obvious (and plainly stated). I also find that really funny. Maybe Japan has a lot on the PS3 to sustain them that we're not getting?

Apparently Square decided to go multiplatform... but only in the West, since the Xbox 360 isn't really an option in Japan.

I just assume they asked both of the 360 owners in Japan which system they'd use to play it before making an important business decision on that.

Dated June 11, 2008:

Square Enix event confirms that yep FFXIII is PS3 only.


I thought I remembered that there was a trailer that said at the end "For Playstation 3 only" but as I cannot find documentation to support that, and what I have posted only lists that SE only listed it as PS3, not an exclusive, I acknowledge that I misspoke....unless I can find something on that mysterious trailer I half remember.

Re: FFXIII FOR XBOX 360!!!

Ah, I hit reply just as you edited.

But yes, I think it was just clever wording up until now. Except I really never assumed it was exclusive ever since 2007 when they made the dubious comment about the potential to go multi-platform.

Re: FFXIII FOR XBOX 360!!!

this is the most shocking "square enix is producing a game for a console other than the one you expected" announcment since...the last time, i guess


seriously, shock and awe

Re: FFXIII FOR XBOX 360!!!

Re: FFXIII FOR XBOX 360!!!

I'll admit i was rather surprised by the announcement, but again, i'll get it on my preferred system of choice, plus the 360 version will essentially be a port of the existing PS3 code (which, as we know, it is easier to port from the PS3 to 360 than vice versa).

The thing that i found hilarious were the people (not necessarily here) who until recently were saying that FF sucks, that are now completely messing their pants because they are so excited.

FF isnt a big deal to me. I'm looking forward to it, but its not the crux of excitement for me like White Knight Story is.

Re: FFXIII FOR XBOX 360!!!

Its nice to see it get a dual release, but Final Fantasy hasnt interested me since FFX. Pass.

But the general fanboy outrage is hilarious to sit back and watch though.
