SE deciding to make FFXIII multiplatform was a very bad idea for many reasons. SE decided to do that right in the middle of their development of the game. Also, the storage limitations of the 360 discs limited what FFXIII would've been. So what that FFXIII sold 2 million on the 360. Had SE put all of its focus on the PS3 only, we would've gotten a higher quality game that could do what it was originally envisioned to do. This could've led to more sales than the combined sales of the 360 and PS3 versions. Your suggestions that SE make FFvXIII multiplat is one of the most foolish suggestions I've ever seen. Why all of a sudden go multiplat when you're already so far into the development of the game? Look what that did to FFXIII. Nomura, the mastermind of FFvXIII, only wanted to make this for the PS3 and I bet he still does today. |
Just commenting on this part, but Final Fantasy XIII turned out exactly how the game directors/designers wanted it to be. I just happened to read about how the guy who was directing the game wanted it to be an interactive movie RPG. They made it linear on purpose, they decided to get rid of towns, shops, mini-games and other aspects not central to the story and character development. That's the reason people disliked the game, and it had nothing to do with Xbox.
See here, PlayStation 3 era.
