Haha..seems like Sony and SE just wanted to make sure the Japanese knew where to get their RPG fix =)

And I had no idea that Lightning was chosen to be mankind's enemy.

I have a feeling I'm gonna love this game.
And for the FIRST TIME EVER, since getting bored with Pokemon, I'm glad I bought my DS.

not "for PlayStation3" ( like resident evil 5 trailer E3 2005) it said :

for playstation 3 ONLY!

after I saw Last ramnant for both Ps3 and 360 , I became sure about FFXIII exclusivity .. SE wants money and SONY loyalty at the same time.. and they did that..

cant wait to see more info about Star ocean4 and new Kingdom hearts for PS3..

i guess, Sq Enix knows where their target audience is... japan and europe.

a boost for sony's camp, i guess. 2008 truly belongs to PS3 no matter how many 360s are sold in 2007.

Well if your question is if Versus is also "PS3 only", it is. Here's a quote from Siliconera:

"The show ended with a fantastic trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. The main character is sitting in a luxurious car, then all of the sudden we pan to him battling helmet wearing soldiers. He makes some fancy moves during his altercation like using one of his swords to grab a gun and then spinning around to shoot everyone around him.

Both Final Fantasy XIII trailers ended with for Playstation 3 ONLY in bold letters."

never really been into FF, or RPG's for that matter. but this one (FF Xlll) looks amazing, admittidly we havent seen much but what we have looks great... GRAPHICS and STORY.... this game could steal the show in 2008!!

not over fussed by the 'exclusivity', im not bothered if games go multiplat or not really as long as they dont compromise anything because of it! still another big game for sony's line up will help shift more consoles which is good for all sony consumers i guess!

I can confirm that this is a lie. The video has been doctored, it originally said

"For Wii and Xbox 360 Only"

but the person that recorded the video edited it to spread FUD.

Well, seeing as how so far (on the Sony side) this TGS has been rather disappointing, I am quite glad that these key FF13 titles have indeed been confirmed for only PS3.

I do think this is the "balance" that SE mentioned back at E3 06? Namely, 360 gets its own brand new game, PS3 gets the main FF13 games, Last Remnant is split between the consoles and I'll bet that Heresis 13, even though not officially announced yet, will be 360 exclusive.

All in all, this is indeed good news, so in spite of the enormous smoldering crater Sony is now standing in due to the bombshell it dropped on itself this TGS (OMG get better freaking PR!!!!), FF13 exclusivity confirmed, goes a long way to reassure fans that they do need to get a PS3 for this game. Thank you SE, for helping to bail poor Sony out.

lol @theMart

Square-enix knows where their fans are and will keep them happy, said it once and I will say it again.

@16 I dont want to split hairs, but Sqaure is just publishing IU, they are not developing it...so the team still works mainly with SONY, and a fair amount with nintendo.

now Last Remnant? thats Square showing the 360 some real love

That FFXIII was going to grace the 360 has got to be a complete moron. Sorry but the Japanes like their FF and they like their PS's. Not much love over there for the 360 so it was only a given that the game was going to be on the PS3.

As is said a lot, the 360 is easier to develop and port from than developing and porting from the PS3. Because of that, we'll be seeing a lot of 360 - PS3 titles, and less PS3 - 360 titles. It's much more complicated, apparently.

19 - to Bladestar:

Considering that the sales on Enchanted Arms was so bad, you can only see why they needed to pull the exclusivity and go multiplatform. With FFXIII, they will have no problem selling that game even with it being on the PS3 alone. By next year there will be well over 8 million PS3's in the consumers hands and my guess is that the game itself will help push nearly 1 million consoles alone.

19.1 - This game has the potential

to sell a million consoles in Japan alone. MGS and FF are staple PS3 titles. When these games hit next year after the price drop, consoles will move. Even the west loves these games. I know I'm buying them both.

Of course FF is big outside jap and so is SE, I'm playing FF series since PS1...trust me FF is globally huge, thou in the last few years it's getting kind a stale, I hope they show something really new with FFXII

Three important reasons why I like PS and will buy a PS3:
1.MGS!!!
2.FF
3.Ace Combat(i realkly hope AC6 will come to PS3)

Okae okae, if it make the 360 fanboys happy, lets indulge your theory that it may possibly end up being timed. Seeing as how this game is still a long ways away, with no signs of current development on n e thing but the ps3 hardware if it does come out on the 360 you all will be enjoying FF XIII in 2009, 2010, or even 2011, enjoy. Im sure one of the many Ps3 owners by then will be happy 2 tell u how it ends.
