Forums - Gaming Discussion - A scary thought about Square-Enix's Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360

The head of SE himself said exclusives are no longer in there vision. This means I expect everything that is not nailed down over there, to come out on both consoles.

Versus looks better anyway but I doubt FFXIII will drive xbox360 owners crazy. 360 has a lot of RPG and none of them has sold that well even Lost Odyssey with it's huge marketing campaign and that is made by the creator of Final Fantasy himself didn't even sell 1 million.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

 

I think you have got the poison pill thing wrong by saying the other Exclusives wont come on the 360. FFXIII i believe is just testing the waters. But what i do agree with from another member said is SONY and SE doing something behind the backs of MS.

It all seems very coincidental and too easy. Regardless of what Sony say, I'm pretty sure they knew of the multi plat in time and i'm sure they have a big hand in making sure FFXIII exploits weaknesses on the 360. The game was built with only the PS3 in mind and made to utilise the Cell processing power (whatever this may be). For Sony this would be a win win situation since they will still have the game and be able to laugh at MS for falling into this trap. SE will win as they have kept Sony happy and made good money by having sales on both platforms. MS won't be happy as they would have been wrong over having the 1st laugh and their system will be made to look weak.

just as the story of FFXIII going to the 360 was a megaton, this will be way bigger.

MS better make sure that FFXIII lives up to the PS3 version. If it doesn't, they will face hard times and think twice about buying out another exclusive!

Last remnant however, is a different game entirely. Since SE are so fond of backstabbing, Microsoft should be worried what they have in mind. If their move was motivated by money, there would be less worries I believe...

As for the impact of FFXIII, I forgot which research paper it was, but it's considered to be in the top 10 franchies alongside Zelda, NFL, Need for Speed, GT, Halo and Mario. I think it would be a mistake to underestimate the impact FF XIII can have.

 

The FF franchise is 4th behind Mario, Pokemon and the Sims.



@Fei-Hung and others: FFXIII could be released at its full potential on XB360 too so to push RRoD vulnerable units beyond their thermal limits and brick them, for example.

What if a FFXIII spinoff goes to the DS? Would that mean that nobody should buy the "core"?

 

Are you syaing the DS isn't "the core?"  Blasphemy!

Um, no?  For the people who would notice any such differences (if they exist at all), it's going to be well-known that the PS3 version was worked on for three years and optimized for the PS3 before they even decided to make it multiplat.  So, you were saying?

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

They can buy a ps3 instead to get the complete FF fix. Hell buy a bc ps3, you can play most of the ff games
