Media Fails To Address The Final Fantasy Versus 13 Multiplatform Rumor

Though the underground blogs are talking about it, the people that really matter and that would know something for sure isn’t even bringing up what Square Enix spearhead Yochi Wada began about a month ago concerning the platforms that Final Fantasy Versus 13 would be on, saying that such an announcement were to be made when the game is formally announced, which may or may not be at E3 2010. Whatever it was, it gave us the assumption that a 360 version of the game was possible. It may have been a gaff, it may have been read too much into, or it may be a sign of another “shoulder tap” which so many people who would’ve cheered such an announcement a few years ago are hoping and praying that they don’t even hear a peep about it at a MS conference this year. Thing is, while GoFanboy and Playstrum have discussed this possibility, people like Adam Sessler, The Guardian, and 1up.com has yet to even bring it up.

Probably because the media have bigger things to worry about like, oh, E3 than rumours.

[deafwing]

that was shocking (bubbles, u made me laugh)

[Greywulf]

PC & PS3.

PS3 owners don't have to pretend multiplatform = exclusive, then go through whatever math that has to be done when you just own a 360.

[nikoado]

You're thinking of FF14, an online title for PS3, PC and perhaps at some stage the 360.

This is FF Vs 13. Part of the "Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation" which share a common theme but are completely different games. This includes FF 13, Vs 13 and Agito for Psp I think.

Vs 13 is slated for PS3 only at this time.

[butbutbuttehcell]

You out of everyone would weep massively if it went to 360. If this turns out 2 be true we all know you'd be heartbroken

[Nike]

Seriously, is it media bitching day or something? We got some people complaining about the Microsoft PR, and then Cliffy B criticizing flamebait journalists. Some people will do anything for hits, even it means dragging out an issue no one really gives a frak about (why isn't the media talking about this rumour?! wahh!).

[Ps_alm3k]

Are just rumor! duh...

[playstation_clan]

they spoil the fun

EDIT: @D4RkNIKON-LOL yes, for halo reach you'll watch ps3 sales increase and 360s on ebay

[D4RkNIKON]

Yep, lets start a rumor right now that Halo Reach will land on the PS3 and that LBP2 will also be multiplat. Then we wait..

[colonel179]

I think that announcing a game exclusive to one platform, then reiterating its exclusivity twice, to then announce it's going multiplatform, damages the integrity of the gaming industry more than braking an NDA.

These exclusivity deals, and timed exclusive, or announcing a multiplatform game just for one console to make people think it will be exclusive just to announce it later for the rest of the platforms, I think that is what damages the gaming industry.

and Bobby Kotick, and Wada of course

[NumeroUno]

Regardless, Versus can't be worse than XIII.

[Troll-without-Bridge]

If the combat is like KH2.

[PandaJenkins]

or if they try to appeal it to western audiences again.... some of those design choices were idiotic.

[Davoh]

Doesn't really matter if Versus goes multi-platform just as long as the PS3 version's end result stays the same.

[poopface1]

Im guessing, if there is a 360 version, the ps3 version will be better like it was for FF13.

[TheJudgement]

have the same engine versus is running on a diff engine they used for 13 reason they only decided to make that exclusive because it was on a engine used for 360 games too.

[ClownBelt]

Isn't Versus just a myth?

[D4RkNIKON]

on 360, yes..

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I doubt it will go multi-plat. If it does, please don't let the PS3 version suffer!!!

[Otheros00]

It will suffer just like all the ps3 games square-enix have made so far.

[Jack Klugman]

They don't want to spoil the shoulder tapping surprise??

Going to need to need shoulder pads this E3 because I got a feeling them shoulders are going to be sore with all the surprise taps 360 gamers are in store for.

[Demons Souls]

Especially the one they receive while they are grabbing their ankles once the price of Natal gets officially confirmed.

[Lirky]

exclusive final fantasies have better quality and everything else than multiplatformed ones.

Soon as its announced as multiplatformed ill skip this ff game unless they keep world maps, npcs, and towns. And just having it built on multi discs for 360. They can do this it was done for ff7,ff8 and ff9. Its just for blu ray it would have better advantage of not changing the discs.

[dizzleK]

because honestly nobody really gives a shit. final fantasy (and sonic) fans have battered woman syndrome. "it'll get better, i promise. you just don't know final fantasy like i do!"

[iliimaster]

i couldnt care less they died when they changed their name to square enix unless they go back to FF1-10 battle system and games they r worthless

[trounbyfire]

art style and direction will make me buy this game. I don't want an emo story were a main character has to die. it doesn't have to be save the world type thing every time and hopefully the characters don't talk like its an anime.
thats just me like i said the black hair guy looks cool with the tuxedo

[dragonyght]

lol just in time for E3 i was started to wondering where all vs xiii multi rumors article

[Skyreno]

NOOO i want Versus 13 to stay exclusive for that system >> why is Nomura who making it, the games he makes are awesome!!!! if it were to go xbox game will have to cut story and we may not have that English/Jappanes voice to choose while playing game .. idk i just want his game to be perfect and not messup

[Lirky]

especially if ffxiii characters come to the ff versus story = thats a hint itll come multiplatform but depending what the game haves in terms of world maps and towns etc. if it haves all of that then it doesnt matter if its multiplatformed. But i think exclusive rpgs hold a better quality in story than multiplatformed.

[Umbrella Corp]

This game is whats keeping me from boycotting Square Enix.This and the Kingdom hearts series keeps me in thier cold grasp.If they fail to impress than I will forever hate Square.
RIP Square Soft...
However I have faith Nomura will succeed he is probably one of the few guys at Square Enix who gives a fnck about the games still.

[chazjamie]

if this title goes multiplatform, than the pro hitman players draw up the plans to kill every single cretin working for square. the mgs4 player execute the plans.

[negrito211]

FF vs VIII ? nobody has no info nor know nothing about the game.square-enix has only went down hill since they have merged.most likely the game is gonna flop just like the last one. i think FF series is so overrated. GUYS just come to your senses if the game is not 1st or 2nd party its all hype and everybody buys it and make up every reason to justify there purchase everybody knows its true cause when i game sucks you walk into gamestop a few days later and tons of used copies are sitting on the shelves.this gen i learned my lesson and i only buy 1st and 2nd party games. if its multiplat ill wait to get it in the bargain bin. and most likely FF vs VIII will be multiplat sooner or later.

[R0me]

So what will be the M$ surprise this E3 then? Tell me.
I almost can see them with a big smile in their faces saying that they just stole another ff.

[Obama]

The fact is the xbox fans want the game just to gloat. Most of them don't actually buy the game.

[negrito211]

but you gotta admit and a few years we all know its gonna be on PS3 sooner or later.the only thing i can see that will shock me is "shenmue" but it doesnt matter cause sega sucks now and people just have to admit xbox is outdated when it comes to graphics thats where sony shines. with xbox if you lob granades in one game then you did in them all.sony has 1st party and thats what matters this gen

[Tony-Red-Grave]

but still FFXIII sells more on ps3 but if this goes multi square enix well look like capcom with the DMC series to me

[chiwoo]

as long as they release the ps3 version first worldwide then port it to the 360.

[Xfanboy]

not a rumor it on PC but.. Guild wars 2 for me please...
PC ftw!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...
might have to change my name again!!!

[ismejks]

i COMFIRM WON'T BUY IT. how many times SE gonna disappoint us.

[Gothdom]

After completing FFXIII, I lost all interest in Versus or any future square titles.

[rezzah]

hope its only PS3, i dont want this game to be damged in any way possible =(

[DarkSpawnClone]

i think it will go multie plat ff13 did so why not this one ? it would be squares fault if it dose not live up to your expectations not the 360 lol how many awesome muti plat games have we had that are awesome a lot.its all squares fault if its not as good as older ff games.
