Final Fantasy 13 for the xbox 360

Post Reply New Topic

that's basically what it comes down to, isn't it? Sony's clearly not interested in games for the PS3. they keep trying to push it as a cheap player for the new format THEY invented. how altruistic.

and they're right about Nintendo's E3 presentation. basically came down to "we're rich as f**k. we're a bunch of s**t you don't care about."

I concur, I was quite disappointed with Nintendo as a bit of a Nintendo fanboy myself. They have a few unique new things, but it doesn't really seem like they have many good new games coming out. They've switched pretty much exclusively to "casual" gaming. Bah. Anyways, as for the original topic, I'm quite excited for FFXIII on the 360, because now I won't have to buy a PS3 when it comes out! Granted, I'll probably still end up getting one just for Little Big Planet however....

do you think it'll be an exclusive for long?

It'd be great if it makes the jump to another system, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. After all Sony needs to have some huge franchise exclusive to it, now that they've lost Final Fantasy all they've got left that I can think of is Metal Gear Solid....

they've also got god of war 3 and killzone 2 along with little big planet.


just gotta wonder if they can hang on to little big planet and killzone 2 long enough for anything.

The only game I wanted for PS3 was Final Fantasy 13 and was waiting for it to be released before getting the console but now I wont have to. I think this is the worst exclusive sony could possibly lose so the future of the PS3 doesnt look very strong.

If sony loses MGS4 it will be the end of the PS3. Ive never liked that game myself.

Well, Sony still has White Knight Chronicles. Considering that that RPG is being developed by Level-5 (Dark Cloud, Dragon Quest VIII, Rogue Galaxy, Jeanne d'Arc, Professor Layton and the Curious Village), it might be a worthy consolation for PS3 owners.

I'm an extreme Star Ocean fan. And I don't own a XBox.

That made me cry, I can't believe there's no PS3 release. I need a XBox now if SO4 comes to Europe... this is soooo much a topic to make people meltdown. I can't believe I won't be able to play SO4!

I also want to play FFvs13. I really really want to have that game for PS. I tried keeping away from the topic, because I didn't want to get miserable about eventual issues like no realise in Europe or wrong platform.

It's probably pathetic to get all crybaby over this. But I can't help it.

Will I get an XBox as a pure RPG gamer or the PS, as I'm a play station fan since they released the PSX. I love PS!

I understand, like, nothing about the XBoX 360. There are 3 models... with differences I don't comprehend.

So miserable.

Sony took it from Nintendo and now Microsoft get a hold of it. In your face Sony. haha I've not herd anything about FF:CC2 for the Wii for a while. Luckly I own a Wii and 360. The bland games that have been coming out on the Wii has had me spending all my time on my 360.

The director who made Final Fantasy what it is today left after FFX and I have yet to see a good FF game since then. Plus all the remakes and spinoff FF games are horrible. 13 looks promising but they already said its a little like 12 which had a bland plot and battle system that i hated.

I didn't like twelve either, but I must admit, I really liked X-2. >_<

I'm still happy that persona 4 will still come for the ps2,
and disgaea 3 for the ps3.

I hadn't heard FFXIII would be like FFXII. If that's true then that's fantastic, FFXII was the best FF in a long while.

I'm looking forward to Disgaea 3 too. Just wish they'd update the sprites. They're using the same old low-res sprites from the first title! Even Odin Sphere on the PS2 had far better sprite graphics. The least they could do is run them through some sort of filter to make them less blurry.

i've had serious issue with the plots of any PS FF games (particularly 8, 10, and 10/2) but 12 corrected most of the problems by at least being plausible. the only downside was that it was drier than a piece of toast and none of the characters had a personality that jumped out at you or was memorable. and the frequency of the boring cutscenes made you care even less. they weren't as annoying as the characters in 10 but still they went a little too far dialing it down.

i agree with you on the combat though. pretty much every battle i fought turned into a clusterf**k. feels very weird seeing half a dozen warriors standing around either ganging up on a single rat or on a giant f*****g monster that dwarfed all of them.

Personally, I think SquareEnix will make a gradual move over towards the X360. I'm not an Xbox fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, but for a large international company such as Square, they simply need to be where the largest market share is. It's cold, hard economics. Also, the PS3 has several major internal design flaws - The CPU's read-speed from local memory is completely crippled (check this link: http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/ ... and-broken), and the Blu-Ray drive can't read Blu-Ray discs fast enough in order for games to be playable (you thought you just had to install Metal Gear Solid 4 to your hard drive for the fun of it? ).
With that in mind, I'm sure Square's designers would much rather work with a system, that while not exactly beautifully designed, at least doesn't have such huge flaws.

In the third and fourth one you can change it so the sprites are upgraded or pixilated. I know you posted this a long time ago tho.
