7 - I hope FF doesn't go political on me
One of the last things I want in a game is a game preaching to me about what I should and should not believe. I'm all for artistic expressions, but I don't suddenly want this game to imply that offshore oiling is bad or destroying a natural habitat for oil digging is good. Stack that all up with a hidden message to destroy all Christians and you've got a political agenda.
Keep politics out of the FF series. It's ok to discuss real world issues like war, greed, hunger, corruption, and everything we all know about, but if I see lookalike American suppression troops in a lookalike Iraq, I'm done with FF forever.
Don't even get me started if I see a lookalike Twin towers.

Actually, while you have your right to express that, I think the majority of people want a story they can relate to, and thus, that story makes the player care about the characters and the back stories that are presented to the player. They have been there, seen horrors such as those, and suddenly, you want to play on to find out what happens next in the story to see if something gets resolved, and thus, long and behold, you are trying to defeat this boss that will take the next 24 to kill in order to progress further into the game.
And FF has always been about political storylines. Kingdoms jockeying for position amongst the world, tyranny, religious extremists that go too far, corporate greed. It's all been in there. I'm not sure what you'll be seeing in FF13 that could be overboard compared to some of the FF stories in the past.

8 - Immigration?
So are there going to be a lot of Mexicans day laborer in this game fighting for the "right" to a green card? I love political games but tackling these subjects are boring. Terrorism in particular has been done to death.
If FF is going to showcase the issue of terrorism by blurring the lines between the freedom fighter and terrorist then don't bother, that representation of the subject has been done a hundred times in games by now, you can see this in Neverwinter Nights and The Witcher, plus a host of others...its a tired issue in RPGs. There's no point in doing this subject unless you can present something new.

1.7 - Sorry to bust your Xbots' tiny bubbles
You can only get the true FF experience on the PS3:
PS3 = Lead platform for FFXIII, and has been since 2005.
PS3 version = On a 50 GB Blu-ray disc, uncompressed.
In addition:
1. Exclusive FFXIII demo in March 2009 on PS3
2. Exclusive FFXIII in Japan - for you Japanese speaker to port since no regional lock unlike the crapbox DVDs
3. Exclusive FFXIII Versus on PS3
4. Exclusive FFXIII Agito on PSP
The 360 version is a port. So I really shouldn't be calling it a "version" at all.
The 360 PORT hasn't even gone into development.
The 360 PORT will be on multiple DVD's and it will “probably” STILL look worse than the PS3 version (e.g. RAGE + Far Cry II)
With Crapbox360's RROD + warranty expiring, Microwave Oven-heat + Lawnmower-noise + Disc scratchier + non-BR + 50 USD Live per year + no Wifi + no HDMI port + no upgradable HD + HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE value for your money (see:
http://blogs.pcworld.com/ga...
beloved console WILL die by the time FFXIII is released in NA

nah it was the same thing even before the 360 announcement. But still, after this announcent, the 360 version will be crap, they'll limit themself so the game can fit on the xbox, stupid thing. Before the announcement, Versus XIII looked better anyway. Plus its PS3 exclusive, so we'll get a better game, better graphics, better content, better sounds, etc.

2.7 - Dearest LaChance
"I cant wait to get FF13 on the EXACT same day as you."
Good for you. But keep in mind that the 360 version has a chance of being canceled if Square Enix can't figure out a way to compress everything on the 360.
"By the way did you "heal" from the announcement of FF13 going multiplat ? I know it was very difficult for you."
360 fanbrats love bringing up the past don't they? I have more rpg's to look forward to, such as White Knight Chronicles, and Valkyria of the Battlefield. Oh, and FFXIII Versus and quite possibly Kingdom Hearts 3.
"Youve been playing inferior multiplat versions of games since you bought your PS3."
I'm sorry fanbrat but I only have one multiplatform game at the moment and that's Devil May Cry 4. The rest of my games are exclusive to the PS3. I only buy exclusives and a few multiplatform games if they fancy me.
Is that all 360 fanbrats can brag about these days? Multiplatform games? What about your exclusive games? You can't brag about the graphics of those games?
Wow...just pathetic.
The only reason why you have a slight edge in graphics when it comes to multiplatforms is because the PS3 is a hard system to program for, not because it's inferior. I'm sorry LaChance, but it's sad to see an *inferior* system outselling a system that's supposed to be superior, when it had around three pricecuts and it's supposed to have more rpg's.
Your intelligence never fails to amuse me LaChance.
"You seem to care alot for the japanese version though of course you wont be getting it , you'll get it on the same day as all the other 360 gamers getting FF13 in the US."
And I can import the game if I wish to import it. The best thing about the PS3 is that it's not region locked. Most people will import the game if it takes too long to come to the United States.
Made of fail bot...made of fail.
You were countered KILLZONED yet again.

"Stupidest thing Ive heard someone say on N4G for a while.
Youre counting on the impossible."
How am I counting on the impossible? Square still haven't received the kits for the 360 version yet. Do you think they're going to wait on Microsoft when there's money to be made dumbass?
"After the worldwide maga announcemant that crashed the internet and Square thats going to make one huge pile of cash thanks to FF13 multiplat you think they might cancel the game....."
I said it was a possibility nimrod.
Do a little something called reading next time and maybe you'll understand where I'm coming from.
Square could also make a lot of money on the PS3 version because it's in Japan and the U.S. I'm certain that a game called FFXI was released on the 360 and we haven't heard from that game since. If people want the true experience of an FF game, they will play it on the PS3.
"I didnt read the rest of your post, I dont care.I already have an image of what u said in it."

You want the truth? I'm glad that 360 owners got this game. No sense in spending $500 that you dont have to, right?
But you also have to face facts. SE hasn't even started on the 360 version of FFXIII yet. So there's the very real possibility that it's going to get released much later than the PS3 version (Or even cancelled. Like Juuken said)
SE isn't just going to wait 3-6 months for the 360 version to be finished. You know what they would do? they would release the PS3 version. Then either make 360 owners wait a few months for the 360 version, or just can it completely.
Plus, you're judging Versus XIII for being a spinoff. Even though it's not out yet (and btw, FF spinoffs are never as good? 3 words : Final Fantasy Tactics)
If Versus XIII went Multiplat tomorrow, then you would suddenly expect this game to be just as good as FFXIII, now wouldn't you? -_-

Hey, 360 fanbrats...it's exclusive to the PS3 in Japan so that means...you get the multi-disk changing crap version in the U.S! You idiots get a port of the game while PS3 owners will enjoy the original one!
Microsoft is so bloody stupid that they just stuck a middle finger up in the faces of their small fanbase in Japan! If they really cared about FFXIII going multiplatform, they should have paid some extra cash! But of course they didn't care about the game at all. They just wanted bragging rights because they *stole* yet another exclusive.
I could care less about it going multiplatform now. PS3 owners still get the game and I guarantee it will look better on the PS3 for that matter.
I'm sorry but you were countered KILLZONED.
