Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Final Fantasy for 360? Nope.

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/794/794164p1.html

Noting that the PS3 is getting Final Fantasy XIII, the website asked Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto if the Wii or Xbox 360 will also be getting games in the series. "For the Wii, we have FF Crystal Chronicles in production," replied Hashimoto. "As for FF on the Xbox 360, it's currently a completely blank page."

No FF love for the 360. The main series has been selling less and less, so maybe they are going the route of new IPs (Last Remanent)? I know FFXIII better sell a buttload on the PS3 and move consoles while doing it, or SquareEnix will be switching gears.

On one hand, I'm suprised in the fact that if they keep FFXIII on PS3, sales are going to be horrible.

But on the other, they could easily be lying about it, or just waiting for some other things to happen.

Really, with what Namco and Mistwaker are doing, I really don't care too much anymore. Hopefully Last Remnant sells really well on the 360, and they realize they are making a huge mistake.

Don't get me wrong, I hope SE changes their mind, as I was a huge fan of FF from 1-7, then loved 12 and FFT. Hopefully them selling off some un-used IPs comes true and we can maybe get an old IP like Ogre Battle or Chrono on 360. Much sturdier series than FF, but much smaller.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I hope Final Fantasy XIII stays PS3 exclusives. Sales will not be horrible at all. And I want it to be the most impressive technical feat possible.



Buddy, Its not like deving for a 360 version would lessen the PS3 version. Besides, the 360 has very close to PS3 prowess (look at Lost Odyssey), therefore thats a useless argument.

Exactly how many copies of FFXIII will sell when FFXII sold under 5m units w/w, and there are 115m PS2s? There will be maybe 8-9m PS3s when FFXIII launches - definately worse odds. I'm not saying it'd tank, but I doubt it'll get more than 4m, and be the lowest selling since the SNES era.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

So even though Square says it's not coming to 360 any time soon, you think they are lying? Then I guess Gears might be coming to PS3 also by that logic...

Edit: Oh man I am loving some of the 360 fanboy reactions on Neogaf to this: everything from the game is for girls to Square Enix are anti American.... gotta love stupid fanboys sometimes LOL

ckmlb, many games that are denined multi-port eventually do become multi-port.

Enchant Arms is a quick JRPG title I can think of that had the lovely "only on Xbox 360" logo which proved false.

I'm not saying that FFXIII is coming to 360. But I do believe, provided certain circumstances (as I said, poor sales), might force SE to port the game. Expecially if RE5, DMC4, or any other Japaneese 360 multi-port did suprisingly well.

 It's pointless to hold out for that unless they actually come out and say they are making an FF game on 360, I'm surprised they aren't even saying a spinoff or another kind of FF like on the Wii.

FF XIII exclusivity means system selling game in Japan for the PS3.

I don't think too many people thought FF XIII was going to the 360. It's been announced multiple times that all systems are getting FFs, just different ones.

MGS4 is the big maybe.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

 They said no FF games at all to 360 planned right now: blank page. Makes even more sense when you consider they are making The Last Remnant on both 360 and PS3...
