Now, I am looking forward to Final Fantasy XIII, alot.
It is my most antcipated title for 2009 with the likes of Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, Halo 3: Recon, Forza Motorsport 3 (hopefully), the new Team ICO game (hopefully), Resident Evil 5, Molyneux's next game, COD: MW2 etc etc.
Now, I am gonna get it for the PLAYSTATION 3 as since Final Fantasy VII, my first FF game like probably most of you, was on the PlayStation and since then, I have always felt that Final Fantasy was naturally played on a PlayStation.
Now, dont get me wrong, Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360, I wasnt angry about it, infact, I was really happy. Shocked but happy (even after the announcement, I persudaded myself to get the Xbox 360 version as it was that big) as now, gamers who had either a PS3 or 360 could play the game when it came out.
But if you have a PS3, the evidence your about to see is saying to you, get the Blu-Ray verison.
Now, we all know The Last Remnant and Final Fantasy XIII as well as Versus XIII will all come on a single Blu-Ray disc when released for the PS3 next year but there is a worrying catch here for the Xbox 360 verison.
For Final Fantasy XII on the PS2, it only needed 1 DVD (Mind you, it wasn't exactly optimized for the next gen consoles) and yet, the Xbox 360 has to use several DVD's for the RPG's on the Xbox 360 so far like:
- Blue Dragon - 3 DVD's
- Lost Odyssey - 4 (4!!!) DVD's
- Infinite Undiscovery - 2 DVD's
- The Last Remnant - 2 DVD's
- Star Ocean: The Last Hope - 3 DVD's
I got Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon very recently and I was gobfounded to find how many discs there was for the games. So just imagine how many discs Final Fantasy XIII will hold on the Xbox 360 compared to one Blu-Ray on the PS3.
I know this is sounding like the most obvious thing but here is the question. How many DVD's will hold Final Fantasy XIII?
Personally, I'd be gobsmacked if it was anything less then 5 discs and even more shocked if it was over 5.
