Wait, is that X360 picture for real? That looks like BS.

Wow that didn't expect many people to be hating on me. Whatever i thought it was just a good informative thread. How do i delete this thread?

I'm confused why this thread is about the ff13 360 ver and its in the sony section. CONFIRMED SONY BROUGHT OUT MICROSOFT???? Now that's news

It's surprising to say the least. I had taken for granted Microsoft's money was enough to seal a contract were they wouldn't take anything less than indentical versions (except for obvious things like FMV and audio differences).

Now it seems the PS3 version was way overdue, and Microsoft/SE wouldn't settle to release this "port" months later (which IMO, would've been preferable). SE already had to sacrifice the established structure of the game to make it work for the multiple-disc-swapping structure now forced by the Microsoft deal, and it seems SE wasn't willing to make any more sacrifices just to ensure the 360 version looked/played better.

Microsoft money wasn't enough, or SE wouldn't be played around more than they would allow. The end result is no matter what the money was, this will hurt SE the most. Final Fantasy XIII was not to be a big title for the 360, and SE made the mistake of going multiplat with a lousy effort that will tarnish their reputation in the eyes of many non-japanese gamers they are trying to reach with the most popular gaming console in the world (the X360).

I am so fucking sick of haering about this game..I want FF13 to come out badly, part of the reason is we stop talking about it...my gawd this is like the 10000 thread on this..we get SE is fail these days..

SE lazily phoned it in with the graphics (seems to be a typical thing with ports) but IGN and what not have already played the 360 version and from what they've said, this is not a reverse Bayonetta (performance issues) so hey, no biggie.

It does reflect poorly on SE however when they make a game on 360 that looks inferior to Lost Odyssey (or at least I remember Lost Odyssey looking better than this). Feel+ (assuming they did all the graphics and coding since I believe Mistwalker are just a designing company) did a better job on a much smaller budget. And they included big towns and what not too (all that stuff that S-E says is impossible to do in this gen). You get the feeling that Square-Enix are either really lazy or they are behind the times when it comes to efficiency.
