i do not care about it going to another platform, but ps3 exclusive in japan, and both consoles everywhere else? that is strange. anyway, how much did they have to tone down (either graphics wise, or story) to fit the xbox360, and what effect will that have on the ps3 version

if its that big of a deal to you then support the original console and get it on the ps3. if sales are significantly higher for the ps3 version then maybe XIV will stay exclusive. not buying it just hurts game sales.

They originally MOVED to the Playstation cause it had the larger media format and more powerful hardware... I swear, if they reduce the quality of the PS3 version to make it look the same as the 360, I will not buy it.

» Square sucking a lot of Microsoft *****
First Star Ocean exclusive to Xbox 360 then Last Remanant getting Early Release and now this. Square Enix u got to stop sucking so much Microsoft *****. Obviously u wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for sony. Sony was the one that put u where u are now. All i can hope for is that u use that money microsoft gave u and do something good with it like a FF7 remake exclusively for the PS3.
To the best of my knowledge FF13 Versus is still PS3 exclusive and by the trailers it looks like its better but no way to tell till it comes out.
Hopefully if anything PS3 version wont get dumbed down because of the limit of a Dual Layer DVD. I own both and will get whichever one is better though which I am pretty sure will be the PS3 since it has taken them years to work on it for the PS3 and now is only getting ported to the Xbox 360.

I'm probably gonna get this on PS3 anyway unless there's something different about each version. I'll bet it's 4 discs or so on 360 as well.

» PS3 fanboys...
The PS3 is still getting Final Fantasy XIII. You can still enjoy the game as you would of, if it had remained an exclusive. There is no need to get pissy over something so small. 360 owners can now enjoy the game just as much as PS3 owners can.
For the record, I do not own a 360 nor do I plan on purchasing one. (I have a PS3.)
So, stop getting all worked up just because a 360 owner will be just as happy as you.

M$ knows that FFXIII was gonna be a huge success on PS3, Is obvious that it was gonna be a console seller like MGS4, and that is what M$ wants to stop. They wanna keep their install base higher than Sony so they can sell more on their console, and that way prevent Sony to grow larger. At least thats what I see their doing.

What a sell out for Square. The main reason i bought a ps3 was for FFXIII and Square go and do this. Square went for the money and not for the fans. Why o why did they do it. If they were worried about sales then they needn't be it would have sold ps3's by the bucket loads. I used to love square but this is a absolute f**king sell out.

Fanboy's just settle down. I dont see why they hate on square-enix for making the jump. From a buisness stand point it just makes good sense. Final fantasy is know world wide. If you have hardware install base of 500,000 ps3 units and 1,000,000 units for the 360 in the U.S. (I just made numbers up to make the point) it only makes sense to bring it out for the larger install base. I'm sure they would love to have had it exclusive for ps3. When the bottom line is to sell your game, your going to put it out on what ever is going to bring the money in. In the U.S. at the moment that's the 360.
I for one am happy to see it coming out for the 360.
Oh ya, one last thing for the "sellout fanboys".. if you remember you ff history you would remember that it was "only on nintendo" to begin with. Then they as you say, square sold out to sony. Not really. You all (fanboys) are pretty narrow minded i'm sure you wont see the diffrence.

» @ Devious and everyone else.
But the Nintendo to Sony jump was due to format. They could do much more on a CD than on a Cartridge. This makes no sense as Blu Ray is the superior format and PS3 has superior hardware. I'm assuming that tons of money was involved on Microsofts part.
My guess is that due to the loss in 29 mil lost in their 2008 year and the possible cutting of Agito XIII Square Enix was desperate for money so they wouldn't have to cut the project.
http://www.ff-xiii.net/index.php?page=article&article=Final-Fantasy-Agito-XIII-Canceled--254
And of course M$ would be there to write a big check. Once again Microsoft uses it's infinite amounts of money to have its console win a console war...remember the good old days where developers actually got to pick which system they thought their game would do best on and sell it there? Guess those days are over seeings how Microsoft just pays enough to get Devil May Cry, Virtua Fighter, Assassins Creed, and every other series that's supposed to be PS3 exclusive to get a port to the 360. Seriously, anyone who thinks that the 360 is a great system and that developers are making games for it because they think it will sell better/the system is better is an oblivous fool who can't see that Microsoft ruined all chances of a fair console war. I do feel a bit betrayed by Square Enix for its decision, though it's obviously money related. However, I doubt that Final Fantasy is the series that most 360 owners care about. Especially seeings how most 360 owners are stupid Americans (I can say this because I'm an American) who can't wait for their next lousy FPS. Coming this month...Blow Lot's of Crap up without a Story to Follow 2! Now you can blow more ***** up without worrying about plot. OMG IT's SO FUN ONLINE.
But the Nintendo to Sony jump was due to format. They could do much more on a CD than on a Cartridge. This makes no sense as Blu Ray is the superior format and PS3 has superior hardware. I'm assuming that tons of money was involved on Microsofts part.
My guess is that due to the loss in 29 mil lost in their 2008 year and the possible cutting of Agito XIII Square Enix was desperate for money so they wouldn't have to cut the project.

And of course M$ would be there to write a big check. Once again Microsoft uses it's infinite amounts of money to have its console win a console war...remember the good old days where developers actually got to pick which system they thought their game would do best on and sell it there? Guess those days are over seeings how Microsoft just pays enough to get Devil May Cry, Virtua Fighter, Assassins Creed, and every other series that's supposed to be PS3 exclusive to get a port to the 360. Seriously, anyone who thinks that the 360 is a great system and that developers are making games for it because they think it will sell better/the system is better is an oblivous fool who can't see that Microsoft ruined all chances of a fair console war. I do feel a bit betrayed by Square Enix for its decision, though it's obviously money related. However, I doubt that Final Fantasy is the series that most 360 owners care about.

» yea but.....
you may think that microsoft will throw loads of cash, but they really dont have to....xbox 360 user database is huge, and for square enix, there will just be more consumers for their game...both companies benefit from this

» Not to mention...
By the time a 360 owner is able to complete a Final Fantasy game to its full extent(100+ hours) They'll probably have Red Ringed at least once.
