Locked: FFXIII Notices its Greener on the other side
|
| #1 Posted 5 months ago | | 12:53: - Turns out the Q aand A is only about Final Fantasy XIII. Guess they knew we'd be all WTF after that Microsoft conference.
12:54 - First question: "Why move it to the 360?" The answer being that they looked at the hardware install of both systems and decided to move it over to the 360.
12:58 - Someone asked if FF XIII means that other Final Fantasy and Square Enix games will come to the 360.
12:59 - The answer to that is... (double translated, sorry for the delay)
1:00 - For right now Square Enix says they are full with FF XIII and are focusing on that and haven't thought about other titles.
Taken From the E3 2008 blog entry, its about 4 day old news from the time im posting this but i cant see any other thread about it in plain view. So looks like xbox 360 claims another EX exclusive series title that would have belonged to PS3, and if that aint proof enough for you check out GameFAQS they even got the board and etc up for the xbox exclusive version (not that its really all that much proof but they are a professional site so trust em to get it right).
I have to say i myself am relieved that i dont have to buy the PS3 just for FF13, i myself seriously could not afford the console in question (hence why i currently own an xbox 360, and nintendo wii but its technically not mine, but who cares aslong as i can play brawl). I'm sure Xbox fanbois and cheapos alike will be relieved by this amazing piece of news, not so amazing for those who invested in the PS3 only to see already two major titles jump to Microsoft (DMC4+FF13, might be others i duno). But hey who can blame Square for doing so, the price to create a game in question these days is almost equivalent to your typical Hollywood movie, not that i dont enjoy Samuel L Jackson busting out a gun whenever appropriate, its understandable that multi platform gaming is a good basis for an increased profit, thank god we still have a decent supply of retroish games on the NDS, graphics doesnt always mean a good game, FF7 anyone? |

| #2 Posted 5 months ago | | I'm still having trouble working out if it will be a 360 exclusive, the information is quite vague and it could be interpreted as it's going to be released on both consoles. I know in Japan it's supposed to only be on the PS3 since the 360 hasn't sold so well over there.
Personally I'm quite happy because I really only wanted a PS3 for FFXIII, MGS4 and a couple of other games. Since MGS 4 will be ported eventually this really doesn't matter anyway. I only realy bought a 360 for two reasons;
1) Price
2) Homebrew. If it's anything like the old Xbox once modders get working on it then it'll have some seriously fun stuff.
It only seems to be FF fanbois that are upset about this because they bought a PS3 on the assumption that FFXIII would be a PS3 exclusive despite there never being anything apart from tradition to indicate that.
Oh and it was also announced at E3 that the new Square Enix games Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery would be a 360 and the new Star Ocean would be released on the 360 as well. |
