Will FF Versus XIII go to X360?

TalkPlayStation.com writes:"There are chances. Let me explain the theory as to how and why Final Fantasy Versus XIII could appear to the Xbox 360. Whether Square-Enix announce it at a later date as a straight release or a timed exclusive on the Playstation 3, then makes it way to the 360 some time after, it could happen."

i dont think square actually took into full consideration what they were up against in porting such a huge demanding game to the 360

if you read the interviews they havnt started work on the 360 version they only recently made the decision to port it over which was probably influenced by the huge ms check, they are going to have to work on a dvd9, the orchestral music alone will prob fill up one dvd9 disk so lots of compression needed, graphics from the cell,square have given their programmers a major headache

i just hope work on the 360 doesnt start until the ps3 version is finished because id hate to see stuff left out and corners cut just so they can make their life on the 360 version a little easier.

Simple, all PS3's biggest exclusives will be ported to X360... //sarcasm
There was MGS4, now Versus 13, what's next? God of War 3? Those articles are pretty much lame.

Why is it that everytime somebody mentions a PS3 exclusive possibly going to the 360, everyone says the author is an idiot? His arguments are completely valid, and he does argue both sides, so stop being so defensive of your PS3.

I reckon about four discs. :)

I can't help but feel that PS3 owners will get some kind of exclusive content in FF13, with, perhaps, some things being left out of the 360 version...I don't know.
Verses 13, I hope, will stay exclusive to show some loyalty towards PS3 users...

If Versus was going to the 360 why wouldn't they have announced it going multi-plat at E3, rather than denying it? Besides, we still don't know if Sony willingly let go of FFXIII for something bigger...

Do you really think Square Enix needed a big check from microsoft to put FFXIII on the 360? We are talking about what is becoming the Japanese equivalent of EA games here. Just because microsoft loaned a desperate rock* 50 million in exchange for downloadable content doesn't mean anything about FFXIII.

"Its because theyre more insecure than otehr fanboys.Well , it looks like it.I look at both sony fanboys and 360 fanboys and sony fanboys just seem to be more extreme , more reactive , sensitive."

And that comes from an xbox fanboy side of view..

A good article that raises a few valid points that are true.

"remember a year ago when Square Enix announced FFXIII as a PS3 exclsuive?"

FF Versus 13 is an offshoot game from the Final Fantasy XIII universe, and is exclusive to PS3 as FF13 previously was. Versus 13 is a darker, more action based rpg compared to FF13. It's said to be the first Final Fantasy with a M 'Mature' rating. And one of the people who are behind the game is Tetsuya Nomura, who was also behind Final Fantasy VII

I have more then enough reasons to play my ps3. Sony dosnt need FF to sell its consoles anymore. The list of games commen out this year along with blu ray makes it well worth it.

Whats will all these stupid articles. None of them have any facts, other than their own opinion on why, and who really cares. Versus won't be around for another 2 years.

its one thing to want to be first as a writer to post "could be" info that turns out right.

but one should at least look at the facts.

at the square-enix conference they stated that the only reason versus was going to be exclusive was due to the engine used which is not their crystal tools engine used for ffxiii.

they are loosing money and cant afford to stay exclusive. but they also dont have the resources to make 1 game out of 2 engines for 2 consoles.

they did say that going forward all final fantasy games will be made using the crystal tools engine so all future games will be multiplatform...

11 - nope it won't
like square enix said themselves they wanna support all systems equally so they will keep this ps3 exclusive since they gave the 360 enough games 4 big ones that i can remember 2 big ps3 ones and 2 big wii ones sorta lol so im expecting more ps3 and wii games from them

The key word when Square says VS is still exclusive is "still" & that can change anytime & anywhere & there is a 95 % chance that it WILL change & the only people that will be playing the new Final Fantasies will be the Japanese long before anyone else

Listening to them go on about the exclusive garbage gets annoying. Frankly I dont feel like going another 6 months back and forth meanwhile the actual articles with the games in it go untouched.

Theres way to many final fantasy's. Come up with a new title for heavens sake.

17 - Talk Playstation (If it's a real name, lol)
"The only real connection is they’re all under one compilation (Fabula Nova Crystallis) that unites the games under one big theme. Not only that but both games take place in the same universe, but neither story conflicts with each other."

- Talk Playstation

This author doesn't realize that all Final Fantasy games take place in the same universe but with unrelated stories. In conclusion this is suggesting that all Final Fantasy games should be developed on the XBOX 360. With the Fabula Nova Crystallis will feature different worlds with different stories that are bound by a common mythology of the crystal(s). That's the only difference between the Fabula Nova Crystallis and the other Final Fantasy games. There is also a third game being developed on the mobile phone but no one is talking about that, lol.

It doesn't have to be developed for the XBOX 360 just buy a PlayStation 3. As far as I know it there won't be any XBOX 360 version in Japan (Final Fantasy XIII) and each game will take full advantage of the PlayStation 3. 50GB (Blu-ray Disc) divide by 8.54 (DVD9) equals six discs on the XBOX 360. I'm just wondering if people will like that or can it all fit in the case? It will be interesting to see the packaging after the Lost Odyssey issue, lol.

They might get it, or they might not. It pretty much depends on if and how much money MS is willing to cough up. What some Square Enix representative says at the moment is irrelevant. We all know FF13 was said to be an exclusive too.

Whatever happens, I'm getting it for my PS3. The eventual 360 version is going to be a port, just like with FF13.

Honestly, don't be surprised if it does go to the 360. Remember, they want to have as many people play their games as much as possible.

Except the 2 exclusives for the 360. /sarcasm

23 - Good For SONY and SE - Think About It
SONY has a share in SE, so, if it does go multi and sell well, SONY will gain. Either way, SONY will make lots of $$$. Then, they can use the money to fund 1st party projects. Internally, SONY and SE must have discussed over this and view it as a favourable decision. It's a win win situation for SONY and SE.

Don't get upset over FF goes multi. You must understand SE is a 3rd party developer, they need $$$ to fund the development. SONY itself understands that.

Remember, FF started on Nintendo and then it went to Genesis and PS1, so, it should come to no surprise that it may make it's way to 360.

No doubt SONY wants to make $$$ from it's own PS3 but revenue from other software channel sales is important too, so, allowing it's own software to sell well on other platforms will bring them revenue too. It's logical, ain't it?

However, I think that although SONY and SE has done M$ a HUGE favour, it can't keep 360 afloat because M$ doesn't deserve such an honorable game.

Furthermore, PS3 is catching up very fast in other regions where 360 just cannot match. We've seen what SONY could do with PS1 and PS2. Once they get the ball rolling, they'll bull-doze their way over their rivals and that includes M$. Look at Bravia and Vaio. They are the best in their class.

SONY is just playing the humble-pie game like they did with PS1 and PS2. PS3 is unstoppable from now onwards.
