E3: Versus XIII remains PlayStation 3 exclusive

The Square Enix press conference has just began with a Q&A session. Everyone are focusing on the recent Final Fantasy XIII announcent, and when asked regarding Versus XIII Hashimoto said it is still a PlayStation 3 exclusive.

[name]

Okay... I'm a little less pissed now.

[Tmac]

Clarification on the versus title?

[iamtehpwn]

Final Fantasy Versus XIII looks better than the main game anyway.

[Statix]

I'm still pissed. Reason being that Xbox 360 is still on higher ground in terms of priority for Square Enix's support; Star Ocean 4 is _currently_ (may change in the future) still 360 exclusive. And Last Remnant is coming to 360 first.

I don't understand this sudden need for Squaresoft to suddenly go turncoat on the Playstation, especially after years of faithful loyalty and support between the two companies.

[iamtehpwn]

Don't be too surprised.
They did the same sh*t to Nintendo in the 90's.
Square Enix makes Judas look like a saint.

[XBOX 360]

Also, Kotaku's liveblog w/ the Square-Enix conference says 360 version of FF13 won't be released in Japan.

But seriously ... are you guys going to trust Square-Enix on exclusivity?

I mean every FF13 trailer before E3 08 said, "Only For PlayStation 3"

...Guess what?

[sunnygrg]

they will just sell out themselves and loyal PS3 fans. Seriously, what is the point in obtaining exclusive games, when over time you are just going to lose it?

[strotee]

Sadly, the dollar bill wins again. I'm willing to bet if PS3 had Wii sales then they'd laugh at the prospect of putting 13 on the 360. I would have figured MGS4 was enough evidence to stay exclusive.

[chaosatom]

COME ON square, Use ps3's potential SPEs to make a better game.

[Leathersoup]

I don't understand why everyone is so angry that a company would try to make money. It only makes sense for any company who isn't first party to go multiplatform.
Remember, Final Fantasy was originally Nintendo. Why isn't everyone angry with Square Enix for not publishing the game on the Wii?

Childish and immature.

[Silellak]

It's all about money. This has nothing to do with loyalty, or Square betraying Sony, or any of that crap.

360 leads PS3 in the Western world.

For any game, it makes financial sense to release a game on the 360 as well as the PS3, as long as the following equation is true:

If X > Y, then Z

Where
X = Predicted profit from 360 sales
Y = cost of porting from PS3 to 360
Z = create 360 version of game

Why do you think there's no 360 version of FF13 in Japan? The cost probably doesn't justify the potential for profit, which, given the 360 user base in Japan, is pretty damn small.

Last generation and the generation before that, Sony so dominated its competition that releasing Final Fantasy for any other console just didn't make financial sense.

This generation, things are a LOT different for Sony. And 3rd party companies are going to realize that.

[fenderputty]

which means that if Sony gave a damn, they would have secured this title like MS does. They clearly don't give a damn about the titles exclusivity.

[Silellak]

Sony's greatest flaw this generation has always been overconfidence.

Overconfidence that millions upon millions of people would get the PS3 at the $600 'even without games'.

Overconfidence as to the relevance of GTA4.

And now overconfidence as to the relevance of FF13.

[Glad to be a gamer]

This for me was one of the main reasons behind me wanting a Ps3 this will effect the console war dramtically if sales nos are anything to go by.

Gta4 and ff on the 360 not to mention so4 exclusivity. Times really have changed. This has really made me think twice about getting a Ps3 might get a new computer for spore(Looks/sounds amazing love the creture creator.)and rts/mmo games(love civ 4/wow but my laptop can't handle them to well.)

[Statix]

The only reason Squaresoft turned on Nintendo back in the mid-90's was because Square saw the potential to make much better games with the PSX's disc-based format, while Nintendo stubbornly stuck with the cartridge, limiting the scope that Square have been able to achieve in their games. Their motive was primarily about making BETTER GAMES, at the time.

This move to support Microsoft has nothing to do with making better games or technical limitations.

[Doppy]

I guess we need to see what surprises Sony has for us tomorrow. Microsoft and Square pulled a very snakey, but effective move. It all boils down to business. While Sony is more innovative than Microsoft, the fact remains is that Microsoft is better at business than Sony is.

Sony has the same old heads leading its company who still believe that this are still the same as when PS1 came out. They need to get rid of all the old heads and hire some new people help out with the business side of there company as a whole. Sony could and should be the largest electronics company in the world, but instead they are happy just fighting for the top spot instead of taking it.

I hate that Micorsoft got FF13, but it all boils down to business, just like you don't want to lose in a game Microsoft dosen't want to lose the gen.

[CrazzyMan]

That means, we will see FULL usage of PS3 and will be able later to compare with main FFXIII to see, was it downgraded because of x360 or not.
I`m fine with that. =)

[gaffyh]

Thank God. I never even expected FF13 going to 360 at all, even though I've got a 360, FFXIII should have stayed PS3 exclusive, it's like Gears should always be on the 360.

[Solid_Snake666]

isnt going to be an exclusive

[fenderputty]

Even if it is still exclusive, which clearly means nothing coming from squares mouth, it's still a long way off. It's been postponed for work on other games.

[Cartesian3D]

:P STILL ps3 exclusive ? Final fantasy titles wont come to 360? (remember BLANK PAGE statement)

he wants another amount of money for this title too ..

[Drekken]

Big deal...

[QueefyB]

wow for the complete final fantasy experience you will have to buy a playstation 3

[Varsarus]

:)

[Veryangryxbot]

said that FF Versus impressed them more than FF13.

If thats any indication...

Finally, SE better make up for todays slap with a HUGE announcement tomorrow and it better not be about FF Versus!

It better be. Cos Im pissed off right now. I had a long hard day at work. Im tired and I had a frikkin headache all day. All I want to do, was laugh at the bots with the disappointing MS conference. I was about to be proven correct again until something was announced which nobody anticipated.

Something coming from one of the most loyal PS supporter. Im fking pissed off about the betrayal right now. Still, the irony is that the best part of todays MS showing, is the appearance of a PS3 title on the 360. If thats any indication of the state of the 360 right now, than ROFL FKING LMAO BBQ HAHA!

[damrightfresh]

I dont know what sony is doing but tomrrow at e3 they better announce final fantasy 7 exclusive to the ps3..I hope final fantasy versus stay exclusive..

Oh yeah 360 version of final fantasy 13 will be on 3 to 4 disks just watch..

[ThatCanadianGuy]

There's a rumor going around Kotaku of a FF7-Sequel.That'd be cool.

also,there's a live blog by SE
http://kotaku.com/5025033/l...
check it out.

[Snukadaman]

"Last year, many reporters including IGN and 1UPsaid that FF Versus impressed them more than FF13."

they call this spin control....hey you might of got our biggest exclusive but it sucks anyways so who cares...classic defense move.

[timmyrulz]

Or for the complete SE JRPG experience, buy a "toaster" 360

[QueefyB]

hahaha did you read that he just confirmed it will ship on multiple discs for the 360

[QueefyB]

lol there will be no final fantasy 13 xbox 360 version in japan read the transcript if you dont believe me

[MaximusPrime]

*sits back and smile*

[Veryangryxbot]

So all this PREMATURE FANBOY DANCING BY THE STUPID BOTS, proven to be IMMATURE and PREMATURE yet again?

Just like what they always do when news of something spreads around, they go berzerk and dance around like lunatics all day?

Only to find out that in their desperation, they were dancing prematurely?

Hahaha!

[Shadow Flare]

360 is absolutely DEAD in Japan. And to think, had the 360 FF13 launched in Japan, there would have been mega sales. Japan is HOT for Final Fantasy. This therefore = EPIC LOL

[juuken]

FFXIII won't sell well on the 360. The Japanese will most likely get this game for the PS3. I will get the PS3 version regardless, as long as Square doesn't screw it up.

Microsoft shot themselves in the foot...heh, heh. I have a HUGE feeling that there will either be a FFVII remake OR a brand new FF game for the PS3 and it will be exclusive.

Yes I'm okay Ken. The fires have settled. :P

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

You ok now juuken...can i come out from the back of the Sofa now!!! ;-D
Keep faith in SONY my Lovely Disciples;)

@juuken ;) Cool;)

@MaximusPrime ;) Cool to;) My Loyal Sony Soldier;) There are SO many good things coming to the PS3;) +They talk like we Lost FF13??? It's STILL on the PS3 + you won't get RRoD while playing it!!! ;-D

[MaximusPrime]

@Sir_Ken_Kutaragi:

I have faith in you, SIR!

your loyal Sony Soldier. (dam i like that name, sony soldiers)

edit: yea RRoD. call M$ poor customer service for replacement. and then wait, wait, wait for a replacement. boot up then RRoD again. call M$ poor customer service again for replacement. and then wait, wait, wait for a replacement. boot up then RRoD again.WTF

[buckethead_X]

I agree with everything you all said ^-^ I think that FFXIII will perform better on the PS3 because it was apparently being designed exclusively for the it. And I thought I would see Juuken here. I'm glad to see she has calmed down (^-^)--b and don't worry about Microsoft selling their souls for FF. Sir_Ken_Kutaragi and all of his Sony Soldiers still have much to look forward to tomorrow and in the fall :)

Edit: It's possible that development still hasn't started on FFXIII, according to some people. >.< Oh well, you still don't have to worry about the RROD on the PS3 version

[IzKyD1331]

im still mega pissed.....but i guess the fact that we still have versus lightens my mood

[Mozilla89]

I'm pissed too, who cares if its exclusive in japan, I'm sure they're really gonna miss the sales from all those 360 owners in japan.

[__Lawyer__]

keep versus? ok sony better announce kingdom hearts 3 as exclusive and final fantasy 13 as a timed exclusive tommorrow to offset microsofts annoucement. but at the same time, its not like we dont have final fantasy 13, its just its not exclusive so all in all, microsofts press conference was weak until final fantasy....again, which we still have.

and keep in mind people that the president of square never said if the 360 was coming out day and date. somehow i expect the 360 version to come out in 2010 after the ps3 has it over the holidays and at least 6 months.

[Expy]

As of now, Final Fantasy XIII is still exclusive to the PS3 in Japan, only Europe and North America will be getting 360 versions (due to install base). Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still exclusive to the PS3.

[DarthTigra]

And if i understand correctly FF13 will be timed exclusive"The game will first be released in Japan, and then the localization process will begin. Then, after everything is complete, the game will be developed for the Xbox 360" I doubt they would just let the game sit there if it is complete.Ff13 might not be on 360 till at least a year after the ps3 version.

[INehalemEXI]

I hope they are smart enough to get squeenix to include english options in the JP version so we can import.

[Daz]

Hope sony fans dont just dump final fanstacy 13 because it not exclusive.

Great series for people who like them.

[SIX]

I will most likely buy it for my PS3, so nothing changes.

[STIKUP ARTIST]

I'll get which ever version comes out first. I love my rpg's.

[Baba1906]

still? still as in "two more month"? or still as in "for ever"? is square going to announce more things or has its announcing time finished?

[Chitown71291]

I thought Final Fantasy Versus XIII looked like the cooler title anyway. I swear I'm not being a fanboy. The protagonist in this one just looks badass. I mean Versus reminds me of FFVII, and Final Fantasy XIII reminds of FFX for some reason. I don't know it was something about Final Fantasy XIII seemed fruity, and Versus seems dark. FFVII> FFX.

P.S. Not a Fanboy
P.S.S. Yes I Am
P.S.S.S. Sony FTW

[MaximusPrime]

you never know that Versus XIII may be better than you think.

Looking forward to both games

[SUP3R]

First they sell out and now they're robbing the people they sold out to the rest of the saga.
LOL
Sqaure sqaure square, you sure have turned into a Tecmo.

[green-cigarettes]

ok when i first saw the president of Square Enix on the xbox's conference... i KNEW smthing big was about to happen. When he left and then came back i Knew FFXIII was going to be announced and it did
Sony NEEDS to spend A LOT OF $$$$$ on exclusive titles like this. now i dunno what the difference between FFXIII and FFVSXIII r but at least we have one exclusive.Microsoft copied everything from EVERYBODY in their conference like the mii's and "home" but they shocked the world with FF13 i hope whe see smthing HUGE tomorrow
sony needs it, WE need it

[Overr8ed]

Well at least we keep the better of the 2 =P... but am planning to buy both (mostly versus)

[HateBoy]

Ok, I have to ask! What exactly makes all you people (all of a sudden!) claim Versus is the better one? Hmmm? Strange, FFXIII was the greatest game in world a couple of days ago, now it's close second? What a joke.

I'll say I actually am looking forward to Versus more than XIII because SE said it would be more action oriented, and I like the idea. But NOTHING has been shown, so really, why is it suddenly the better one?

[LevDog]

Mutil Disc? So if Ps3 has 2 discs (100 GIGs) 360 will have 13-15?

Im saying Ps3 will have 2 cause usually FF games are huge and very very very long...

EDIT: @ below.. thats prolly true.. 4 DVD9s is only about 32 gigs.. Seems kinda small for a FF game.. I mean those are usually EPICS.. and to use less than 50 gigs would be a slap in the face to gamers.. FF have a huge huge fan base.. and to only have 32 gigs would be a small game for a FF game by todays standards that is

[Marceles]

There hasn't been a multi-disc FF since FF9...Blue Dragon was 4 discs so I don't know if they'll exceed that amount on the 360

[rhood022]

except MS won't allow multiplats to be multiple disks. So that automatically means that, for both platforms, it will be one disk.

[HateBoy]

Really? Where did you get that from? Never heard of it, maybe you could provide a link?

[MaximusPrime]

Sounds like FF13 coming to xbox 360 is a VERY BAD MOVE

[QueefyB]

i agree this is why i am eagerly anticipating white knight chronicles the premium next gen rpg experience

[juuken]

YEP, YEP, AND YEP.

MS shot their foot yet again. Don't worry my PS3 comrades, something bigger must be coming.

[silverchode]

i dont think ff13's development has started yet since the ps3 version is not done yet. so ff13 for ps3 comes out early 2009. 360 version comes out early 2010?

[LuHawk]

Another exclusive JRPG you just lost Queefy b!tch

[TheDeadMetalhead]

I had to hit disagree because I do think the war is over: Sony won. XD
Now, it's all down to Sony and Nintendo. I really could care less who wins that one because they're both awesome.

Also, who's worried? XD

[kewlkat007]

It seems like Only Ps3 fans are more excited about this game, then the mighty Final Fantasy 13...

VERSUS the BETTER GAME NOW...haha

[__Lawyer__]

not to long ago, 360 fans were touting that final fantasy sucked.......until now. just goes to show how much the 360 fanboys want ps3 exclusives

[kewlkat007]

Really give me at least 50 members that hates on FF(with proof of post) and I'll take you somewhat serious.

I got my PS3 for Final Fantasy 13..buddy

That was the FN game that did it. I'm sure I'm not alone. Now the game gong multi only helps MS and potential gamers.

But now all the sudden FF was the prized Jewl and now is replaced with this game, Give me a fn break.

[__Lawyer__]

both games will be identical but one of them will have alot more disks?(being the 360 version)

so that means, there going to compress the ps3 version now so there the same? oh man, as im typing this, im just getting more and more pissed.

[Panthers]

If you guys are reading this conference, it is very interesting. PS3 version will probably come out a long time before the 360 version because they are going to finish the Japanese release before starting on the US & Euro releases. They will then port from PC to 360.

Everything they showed at E3 was on the PC.

[aiphanes]

And I will put my hair in dreds...and I will break up with Veronica Belmont!

[HateBoy]

Don't put your hair in dreds, please. As for Veronica Belmont... You can do better man, you just need to aim higher!

[andron]

Remember the time when Mario and Sonic would/should never meet or be in the same game? And look where we are today...

FF13 coming to 360 is a financially smart move for SquareEnix.

The really interesting thing is how the versions will compare. If SquareEnix developed FF13 on PS3, and is porting it to 360, we might see an inferior version on that machine

[bisonplayer17]

Yeah, we've all seen how much saying this counts for...

[Shadow Flare]

I wonder how much better Versus will look compared to XIII

[deeznuts]

It says they will start developing the 360 version when they finish for Japan and start localizing? And it is not coming for Japan at all.

Install base was the reason for the switch.

[Panthers]

BTW, 360 version not coming out for Japan at all.

This is kind of funny to me because most 360 gamers in the US are very anti-JRPG. They like Oblivion and such but not so much Final Fantasy. I would think M$ would want the game in Japan to GREATLY boost sales, but I guess Squenix just saw that as a lost cause. Even the mighty Final Fantasy cant save the 360 in Japan lol.

[Panthers]

Disagree all you want it was in the Press Conference.

[wangdiddy82]

all the footgage they showed with the chick and everything is pretty much out the door now??? The 360 cant handle it. so now we will be playing a game that looks like lost odyesee??? garbage.. dumb move by square to limit there game to a weak machine..

[kg7310]

either way FFvXIII is better than FFXIII :/

[Alexander Roy]

Thank god, they won't gimp it because they have to churn out both versions at once. Now all they have to do is research how they can make the 360 version as good as the (then) original.

[name]

EXACTLY

FF went from rehashed boring turnbased rpg that needed to die to OMGGGGG THANK YOU SQUARE ENIX I LOVE YOUUUU etc

[Solid_Snake666]

take that 1 too

[Omega4]

TIMED EXCLUSIVE!!!!

[brodels]

really ff13 is coming out for 360 only in EU and US? ffversusxiii looks so badass

[peedie16]

guys please don't think I'm a fanboy but I really don't care about FF 13 I only wanted VS13 and this just goes to show you that MS had to pull out that money hat to get FF 13 but hey now everybody can enjoy it

@ kewlkat007

thats not true PS3 fans have been way more excited for Vs13 than 13 for a really long time and if you check out the fan site ff-xiii.com and go to the polls you'll see that people have been more excited for VS13 way before this multi-platform stuff

[Lcarrero5]

It's a Timed Exclusive?

"The game will first be released in Japan, and then the localization process will begin. Then, AFTER everything is complete, the game will be developed for the Xbox 360"

[vasilisk]

Final Fantasy XIII won't be released for X360 in Japan. That's why I think Sony didn't react...
FFXIII will have a huge impact in Japan and it will be the reason for every Japanese to buy a PS3. Since the release of Crisis Core, PSP is the number one selling console over there...
On the other hand most of Final Fantasy western fans either have a PS3 or will buy one just for FFXIII because most of them loved the series through their Playstations
And also from Kotaku's live blog

"Question: How will the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions be different?
Says Kitase: We planned on having the contents the same, but obviously the Blu-ray and the DVD will be different."

Lets see what the contents will be for each version...

[raddbj03]

first people say the microsofts conference was nothing more than timed exclusives and that isn't impressive.

and now people are begging for ff to at least be a timed exclusive.

[ChefDejon]

uestion: How will the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions be different?

1:57
Says Kitase: We planned on having the contents the same, but obviously the Blu-ray and the DVD will be different.

http://kotaku.com/5025033/l... source

[DJ]

That totally abates our fears then.

[DJ]

You'd think Microsoft would have gone after both FF titles. Maybe they couldn't afford it?

[Chris_GTR1]

wtf is versus anyways?

[DJ]

Like Kingdom Hearts.

[Shadow Flare]

It gets better

"- The game will first be released in Japan, and then the localization process will begin. Then, after everything is complete, the game will be developed for the Xbox 360. "

The game will release in Japan first, then be developed for 360. That sounds like its gonna launch on 360 a long time after ps3 to me haha

[Rusted]

Yeah right hahahahah

seriously, i can't trust in Sony right now.

[Isaac]

As in subject to change. Now that FFXIII will be gimped, I doubt Square Enix will make an exception of FF Versus. Hell, throw in there Kingdom Hearts 3. If they really mean it though, they are probably gonna test the multiplatform waters to see if they're profitable.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

From what i read of SE blog and rumors going around Kotaku
FF Versus is going to remain PS3 exclusive,no idea about KH tho.
And supposedly the two console versions of FF13 will be different.
One will be made on Blu-ray and the other on the all powerfull DVD..
Proably on like 5-6 disc's.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Ahhh, now it's Versus is the better game.

Time to change the diapers and get out the damage control.

Downplay, downplay!! I need a RROD article stat!!!!

[Tmac]

You should be more worried about how they copied everything Sony and Nintendo had to offer Lol.

[Silogon]

agree and said the same thing in the other thread. Too funny how people have to side with lesser games and more importantly games we know nothing about in terms of what they offer the player.

[juuken]

Oh Crab, you're a dumbass. Microsoft may have shot themselves in the foot AGAIN with buying FFXIII because Sony has something bigger planned.

This war isn't over muppet. :)

EDIT: Oh Snuka...what a way to insult someone you don't even know on the internet, much less a female. You see, I laughed very hard at your comment because I know something none of you 360 muppets know. Microsoft shot themselves in the damn foot because FFXIII won't come to Japan on their system, which would have helped their dying cause and FFXIII will come after the PS3 version.

I know I'm a fatass, a damn good fatass you can't have.

[rhood022]

How about you actually read what's going on in the press conference.

[Snukadaman]

The war is over fatso.....go anywhere else and see people saying "well there goes my second reason to buy a ps3" or..."ps3 is dead"....keep those dreams alive...there is always blu-ray movies.

Oh dont worry juuken...your fatass was actually far from my list of wants....in fact...i wanted ff13 on the xbox before you...so I guess I win. and honestly...who cares if it aint coming to japan...there are only 60K xboxes in japan...if the japanese didnt purchase a xbox with blue dragon, and lost odyssey then they never will...I see this as they are selling in the places where big home consoles are relevant.nice spin anyways...thats what...200 calories?

[rhood022]

apparently you 360 fanboys lack basic comprehension skills..

How is the war over if the 360 version isn't coming out until AFTER the Japanese, NA and European PS3 version? That could be six months, it could be a year.

Do you think that the people who really want FF XIII, I mean really want it, are going to wait that long to get it on the 360?

[TehGears atXboxkings]

"Downplay, downplay!! I need a RROD article stat!!!! "

rofl dewd
bubble+

[xtreampro]

no, actually Vurses was always the better game, i said that from the beginig, i dont know about other PS3 owners

[Solbadguy]

by announcing FFVII remake exclusively for PS3 at their press conference tommorow.

[timmyrulz]

Who cares about a crappy remake, the original is always the best in everything, name me one thing in the world where a remake is better than the original?

[wangdiddy82]

anyone???

[mistertwoturbo]

They are two different games set in the same world.

[mistertwoturbo]

Right. Until TGS '08 it will also be announced for the 360. Just wait and see.

[Booourns]

It seems that FFXIII for 360 will not come out in Japan. Only NA and EU

Can we say new age in game marketing?

[alanjp25]

man i read tht ff13 gonna be the same on both ps3 and xbox - the 360s gonna water down our ps3 version - tehy said that the ps3 version will have no diff between cinematics and gameplay...now prolly the 260 gonna bring it down to crap...any one play MGS4 ? youll know wt im talkin bout....oo i cant wait for mgs5 too :P

. screw you MS. any indictioon i think MS is gonna go down - vista sucks, billions lost in xbox, money lost in game develepment, RROD, AND Bill Gates left....wonder why he left ? cuz MS is going down the s$%tssss and hopefully xbox with it :)

[Phuck Sony BS3]

You Wish!!

[silverchode]

ff13 will be done first on the ps3 then ported to the 360.

but for how long...

[Roland]

What is Final Fantasy VS?

[meepmoopmeep]

"- The game will first be released in Japan, and then the localization process will begin. Then, after everything is complete, the game will be developed for the Xbox 360. "

[__Lawyer__]

since all of you are so hyped about what he just annouced. then im sure your also hyped about him saying that "obviously bluray and dvd9 will be different" too right?

that just confirms that the ps3 version will definetely be better but there still gimping it with the amount of content they could've fit.

[LevDog]

So what happens if this game is bigger than MGS4 (memory wise).. Lets say 100 gigs.. thats 13+ DVD9 discs.. I would like to see the carrying case for that..

While FF13 going to 360 is a blow to Sony, it wont hurt it because Versus is still exclusive.. People with Both consoles will get the Ps3 version, People that dont have either console will get the Ps3 version.. for the simple fact if you want the full FF experience you will get the PS3 version..

This is a victory for the 360 fan base that doesnt own a Ps3.. big deal..

[AssassinXIII]

who cares ? console wars is over

xbox360 just won

peace

[Says you]

Considering somebody is going to do the comparison and people are just going to make the PS3 version look bad and plus Final Fantasy XIII is going to get trophies its still going to be better on the PS3 and not to mention the game is going to be more in one disc for that other console

and of course its going to sell better on PS3 and this was only Microsoft conference lets wait for what Sony has I think I would rather get the game for PS3 instead of a 11 disc to just finish one level on the other console

and for the XBox 360 fans that said that Microsoft isn't desperate that was desperate considering they did that.

[MaximusPrime]

as a proud PS3 soldier, im laughing out loud.

sorry xbots, i know you werent expecting to hear this disappointing news. First, no xbox 360 release in Japan, performance will differ between dvd and br, timed release. list goes on and on.

[Phuck Sony BS3]

Just face it!! Besides all the problems the 360 had, it still giving Sony a run for it's money. Like it or not. The presentation today is going for casual gamers as much for the hardcore. You're dissmissed solider, lol!!!!

[Snukadaman]

So now the xbox is relevant in japan? when did this happen?

[ThatCanadianGuy]

The Microsoft conffrence was terrible,seriously.
All they did was brag about multiplatform titles,timed exclusive's
and get some blond bimbo up on stage to sing(badly) WTF is that?

The only thing that saved that presentation was the FF anouncement.
If it wasnt for that,everybody would be laughing at Microsoft's stupidity.

[solar]

if Sony wants to win the console war it better kick it up a notch. this is a huge blow to them. like GTA going to 360 was. makes me wonder what they are smoking over at Sony.

[mistertwoturbo]

Sony isn't smoking anything. He'll, the way things are going this generation. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft paid Sony $10 billion to lose this generation.

[m9105826]

According to the Q&A unless i read it wrong,

360 development won't even begin until the game is released for the PS3.

[MaximusPrime]

thats what everyone suspected it to be.

first release on PS3 then xbox 360.

[Max Power]

good! all we need is the announcement of FFVII remake.

[Tacticity]

After so long in bussiness with this is the thanks we. What the wtf does it matter if we get versus. XII is going multi were screwd. F sqaure

[The Wood]

in timed exclusivity. Either way, like gta4 the ps3 still outsells the 360 and now i know why sony don't spend on exclusivity per say. 1st party games cant jump ship. Focus on them or buy the companies, simple. The 3rd part exclusive is almost dead.

[v1c1ous]

then you need to question yourself as a true gamer

[mistertwoturbo]

It's not that it's multiplatform that pisses people off. It's just the sheer fact that they've been saying "Only for Playstation 3" at the end of every trailer until today. They've basically flat out lied to the consumers and the big big Final Fantasy/Playstation fanbase.

[cmrbe]

But for me personally i am worried about the quality of this game now that it will have to fit DVD9. I agree with your sendiments though. I don't mind having more gamers play these games but there is a reason why i have supported multiple consoles.

[Davoh]

"The game will first be released in Japan, and then the localization process will begin. Then, after everything is complete, the game will be developed for the Xbox 360."

Most people have said that FFXIII is being released the same time on both the PS3 and 360 in NA and EU but Kotaku says that the game will be developed after everything is complete

[Expy]

Everyone's got it wrong..

Here's how it will roll out:

Japan PS3 ONLY (exclusive) --> XBOX360 development BEGINS
North-America & Europe PS3
...

North-America & Europe XBOX360

[pornflakes]

THE POS3 JUST GOT OWNED SOCIAL LOOSER!

For the complete FF13 series we need a POS3? haha, i remember the same BS with GTA4.. so now PS3tards care about that?

[xtreampro]

it'll be a downgraded version idiot

[DFresh]

That's good to hear and I'm right.
FFXIII (multi)= wack!
FFXIII Versus and FFVII remake (PS3 only) = awesome!
I guess the 360 can get a taste of Final Fantasy but it won't get the full experience considering FFXIII Versus and FFVII Remake are all PS3 Exclusive.

[Mr PS3]

Anouncement
All the Bots used to say
Wait beyond when reffering to this game !!
Well bots your waiting with us now Assholes !!!
And now we will see what FF XIII should have Been like without it being downgraded for the 360 when the comparisons come out

[__Lawyer__]

we're getting this game at least a year before the 360 gets it since development wont start on the 360 until its released and secondly, we get the better version as stated by the president of square....

"obviously bluray and dvd 9 are different" so im im good now. still alittle pissed but as long as we get it a year ealier and the better version so this game will still sell just as many ps3's as before.

--CASE CLOSED--

[KatanaSteel]

F*** Square-Enix if both versions of FFXIII are the same and they don't squeeze out every single bit of the Cell's processing power.

I refuse to have a gimped PS3 version just because it's coming to the 360!

PS. F***MS if this causes delays for the PS3 version.

PPS. Sony should've bought SE a long time ago.

[FwanK]

Consolation Prize...

[TripleTags]

no way especially now.

[supergamer]

versus 13 always looked so much better than ff13

[josh14399]

square would not just go today we are going to make ff13 for 360 aswell. it was more "hi im that fat chink from msoft here is 50mill dollors" then square say cool what for. then msoft say "ff13". then square are masterbating other that much money and go ok ok. then msoft are like well way may have lost 50 mill but we will make it back buy charging for xbox live themes wallpaper avatars and trailers.

[DeZimatoR]

I don't give a crap at what you say anymore X Enix....oh yeah, FF XII, using the White Engine, made to take full advantage of the PS3's power...oh wait, did we just make FF XIII MP? Guess that means f*ck all we have been saying, instead of one kickass version we'll give ppl 2 watered down versions.

Awesome!

NOT.

[KatanaSteel]

Exactly! Now we're looking to get a scaled down version because it's coming to the 360.

I'm so disappointed in SE, what happened to the SquareSoft we used to know.

I blame the Enix merger, Square have been going downhill since then.

Even FFVXIII using 100% of the Cell's power won't be enough to redeem Sony and SE.

[pornflakes]

Pos3 got owned.

Play behind and wait another 2 years :D

[Phuck Sony BS3]

YOU BETTER COME CORRECT TOMMORROW!!!

[name]

Don't pull that "real gamer" crap here. The only reason a crapload of these 360 fans even claim to be "Excited" about this is because it's coming to their console now. Before this they were acting as if it was a tired franchise. And now all of a sudden they like it, don't pull the "real gamer" card if you don't practice it yourself.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Square Enix has always been about business...

Loyalty is something created by the unwicked of this world.

Darkness wasn't the origin of things. It found us. We let it in.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Can't wait to play something hindered by the 360.

We've been doing that a lot lately.

Screw you, Square Enix.

[DiLeCtioN]

this game will sell when it lands nuff said whether it lands this yr or next, nothing spoiling it and how can they doubt for this game to go multi-plat

EDIT-*OMG FAINTS* after reading the news of ffxiii coming to 360 (fanboy inside grows) i do have a 360 aswell but i never expected this omg

[kingboy]

Laugh now cry 10 minutes Later

[timmyrulz]

The damage control, spinning and denial on here is funny as fcuk, the last time i laughed this hard was when i played lair, all of a sudden ff13 is crap and ff13 versus is better etc etc LMAO its fine though kids you can all take your bat and ball home lmao
FF13, PLAY BEYOND AND JUMP IN

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Look up FF 13 on youtube,then FF versus.Tell me which one you'd rather have.

[kumashii38]

I think the console war is ended NOW. really really sad.
the cost of developing a game has increased too much.
20 million dollars or more per 1 game are almost crazy.
between 1 million dollar game and 20 million game,
gameplay itself is very small different.
as a gamer,I have to play not "Big and beautiful but ultimately expensive game"
but "small and fun and cheap game".
big game needs big money.I finally realized Nintendo were right.
to make Big game, multiplatform can't be escaped.
even though FF13 is exclusive, FF14 won't be able to be.
making small game with small cost is a correct way.

but,if Sony will make their good games continuously,
I will buy it undoubtedly.
because I love the many games that Sony made and published.
Gran Turismo, Ratchet, Resistance, God of war, MLB the Show,
Uncharted, Daxter, Hot Shot GOLF, WARHAWK, and so on.

especially, I love WARHAWK the best.I have played almost everyday with my friends since the release date. I really enjoyed.

Sony gave me "fun games and fun times".
The fact and memory will never disappear.
thank you Sony.

[Doctor Strange]

I still plan on getting both but like I originally wanted for FFXIII I want to see the Versus team really take advantage of the hardware and put all they got into it. Both games should still be good.

[B-Rein]

Im a little relived now, less pissed off looks like square enix hant completley lost a fan

[Glad to be a gamer]

You guys make me laugh you still get to play the game so what is there to be upset about. Just like u guys are getting bioshock.

as ive said for me ff/mgs4 and Gt5 were the main games i wanted to get a PS3 for but things have changed.

Gtp was a dissapointment imo due to the online and lack of progress(damage,customisation) and with simbin(gtr makers) releasing a racing game on the 360/pc exc and forza2/grid/pgr4 satisfying all my racing needs im not to fussed unless gt5 does bring everything that has been promised and forza 3 dosen't step up to the plate.

FF13 is now coming to 360 no point saying anything except big blow to Ps3 fan boys win for 360 gamers(unles you hate multi disc games) I wonder how long/big the install will be for the Ps3.

Mgs4 lived up to the hype in everything except graphics for me. although it looks great the textures and facial details are poor in cp to games like mass effect and gears.

I would still like to play mgs4 after ive played mgs3 but one game is not enough for me to warrant the price of the Ps3. Im gonna waitit o see what lbp turns out like as hte other exc don't interest me much.

[belal]

i swear now i think that ff7 remake is coming exclusive for us ps3 owners ;) why ? becuse why would sony give MS their biggest game ? i think that FF7 REMAKE IS AROUND THE CORNER :)

[Mr Fancy Pants]

FFXIII was exclusive and look what happened... the same thing could happen to versus. they just wait until the game it's almost done to say "it's multi-plat!".

[jollygoodchap8]

If they wanna get out of this, They better have some really good games up their sleeves to counter this.

It is official, at this moment...360, home of the RPGs.

[uie4rhig]

*Posts PS3 on Ebay for £425 (60GB)*
*goes to amazon, pre-orders Xbox 360 60GB*
*makes a countdown script for MGS4 on 360*

[mistertwoturbo]

You're not finished.

*Buys FFXIII 5-disc edition for 360*
*plays for 5 hours*
*360 dies*
*Sends it to microsoft*
*get it back 2 weeks later*
*Send it back to amazon*
*buys 60gb PS3 again*

There you go, fixed it for you.

[uie4rhig]

yeah i true..

but still i really hope that Sony will own Microsoft after this HUGE announcement.. i mean it can't be that hard can it? coz pretty much everything else they announced was already confirmed but labeled as rumor.. the only thing that stole the whole E3 was FFXIII.. i mean nobody expected this, or even thought about it.. and i still can't believe it lol

[dkgshiz]

Japan is the biggest RPG players. The united states will maybe sell 100,000 copies of FFXIII on the 360.

[xtreampro]

so your saying a company that lost its main guy (Bill gates) uses last gen tech e.g DVD9, and that 80's pile of crap Microchip and makes customers pay for a service that breaks down every 2 months, pays for exclusives (in this case steals them) has won over a company that took out a console that comes equipt with the latest tech e.g CELL, BD50gb, 1080p 120fps and wifi built in, then you are a retarded, human nature violating idiot!.

[smurfie4]

QueefyB hand me the botkiller asap! Its a whole nest of em in here!

I wouldn't be surprised if...

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

All BS aside MS does sell more software in this Gen!!!

It's proven they can sell Software (duh they are the top software firm out there!!)
MS will not be on top this gen ,yet they will survive!!! with strong game library, but hopefully they will release a new system with the money they make this Gen and it should be superior to all!!!

SSD drive etc 2GB ram 20 Cores etc..

Do it MS you can do it change the face of gaming!!!!SSD drive!!
