Of course it was worth it. In the west the game is selling better than any Final Fantasy before it & as its a big brand game it will continue to sell till FF15 releases. The region where it was exclusive hasn't performed that well in comparison. I am shocked at the results in the poll.

And if I'm not mistaken (if I am please correct me), Xbox Man is an example of why it was a good Idea, as this was your first FF yes? Can I message you on your wall about something?

Yes this was my first Final Fantasy and one of the best games I've ever played, I can say the same for a few more people I kmow (xbox gamers who got it because of the marketing). Yes you may message me on my wall

Bullshit

The xbox 360 version is not more "far" inferior in gameplay or graphics, stop lying.

It was also my first FF! Glad it was otherwise I would be making threads about how square raped the franchise, instead I am loving the game(H)

Also if it was Sony exclusive, it had to have the legs its having now if you count in both versions+1

I highly doubt it would have the legs it has now. There is no doubt the PS3 version is outperforming the Xbox version, but in pure numbers I doubt the PS3 version could sell as much as the versions have sold combined.

Almost everyone who is playing this as their first FF has loved it from what I have seen online & in the real world, I think the company has done a good job at trying to increase the fanbase while not completely alienating old fans since many fans have also liked it, whle of course many have disliked it too. This is a good way to keep a 23 year old franchise from getting old in my opinion. Clearly the plan for square worked in the west since FF13 is selling above previous versions, but the plan was less successful in Japan, clearly if it was multiplat there the game would be higher too.



    

I didn't like this game at all so to me the money spent making this game apt for the 360 was a real stab on the back. Don't get me wrong I love both system's but I've been following this game since they announced it and there was all this talk about their amazing engine and all and I specificly remember them saying that it would be impossible to put it on the 360.

I mean how many f***ing promises squenix made about this game ... they didn't keep their word about anything :S

I am curious to know how the japs felt about the game ... cause to me most chars could use a DELETE ... and back to the sketch board :S

I understand man, the only character that seemed original (not a recycled personality) was Sazh. I did like the falcie though, i disliked them but pitied them at the same time.

Hmm, I guess, to be honest, if they kept it on the PS3, it COULD have sold more, due to the hypetrain, but as soon as they dropped the 360 bomb, the train derailed and the haters emerged from the wreckage, some of them boycotting the game and/or Square Enix entirely, lol...

So I mean, Square Enix should be happy that they've sold so many copies so far, but truth be told, there was always the possibility that keeping it exclusive would merit more sales...

this. also the ps3 sales wold hav been much bigger if it had any adverts lol



You'd have to be a fanboy to think it wasn't a good move. Sales on the 360 were excellent.

Sazh was stereotyped to the point where myself bein a african american I felt insulted. Awful stereotypes, I can't believe they made him like that. He did improve later on. Every other character except Fang (terrible development) was fantastic. Again it was my first  FF so quite possibly most of them seemed unique to me. But when a franchise is 23 years old I would expected characters to be recycled.

I found it racist that Sahz could smell the chocobo from miles away
