Bloomberg writes: "Square Enix Co., creator of the ''Final Fantasy'' series of role-playing games, rose the most in more than a month after Microsoft Corp. said the developer will offer a new installment of the video game that's compatible with the Xbox 360 console.
Square Enix gained 5.2 percent to close at 3,250 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the biggest advance since May 22. The benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average fell 2 percent.
''Final Fantasy XIII'' will be available on the Xbox 360 in the U.S. and Europe, Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said in a statement yesterday. The game will be offered in Japan for Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 console and not the Xbox 360, Misa Tokunaga, a spokeswoman at Tokyo-based Square Enix, said by phone today."
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."
FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.
I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.
I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.
i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.
i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.
but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.
but i like 13-2 more :)
i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy
XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!
I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.
Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5

i i just woke up and saw the new...sony lost final fantasy..WOW > =O <
I NEVER SAW THAT COMING,this may not be a really big issue as gta4 was also multiplat but the issue is that sony does not have any rpg that are worth bying on their ps3,..sony really needs to relese hell on this e3 and show us mind blowing stuff so people can forget about them loosing yet another exlusive,..i would not be suprised if mgs4 is coming to the 360..
I don't care as long as they don't axe stuff off the game.(and please put in multi lang voice over)
delay... i can live with it
Last night I was angry at SE, but today I'm not because as a matter of fact, the Xbox 360 cannot hope to achieve the technical achievement FFXIII will be on the PS3.
I predict FFXIII (360) being FFXII-HD with CGI cut scenes peppered everywhere.
