My biggest fear of buying the 360 version over the PS3 version is that the cinematics aren't going to look as sharp. I prefer Achievements to Trophies, so I'm still sorta leaning towards the 360 version. Is there a noticeable degrade in the cinematics? I know that you said I won't care but.....I still do. Your opinion, please?

If you have a decent HD TV the cinematics are going to look a fair bit better in motion, no doubt about it.  They are pretty compressed from the PS3 ones and may even, according to some sites, have occasional 'artificats' as a result in highly kinetic scenes.

My view would be that unless you really want the Achievements, given this is SP only if you have both consoles and like FF (which means liking the cinematics, etc) then this is a clear PS3 choice.

The 360 cinematics should look pretty darn decent, but clearly if you want to know you're looking at the best representation then you're going to want the PS3 version.  The actual game should only look a fraction less sharp from what I've read and seen - but the cinematics is where the compression hit the hardest.

 

That one statement has helped me decide.  Achievements are just a number.  The experience is what matters most and I want the best experience possible.  Thanks!  Your really are REASONABLE!
