haha if its coming to PC, I'm going to get the PC version only. I'm pretty sure the PC will be the best version, the only down part is it will probably require a high system requirement to run it which I'm pretty sure my current PC can handle. At least I can run DM4 smoothly with max setting on my current PC ^^

It looks like the only game able to put in a crisis almost every PC, even more than decent, is, well, ehm, er, ...Crysis   Nomen omen?

umm hello? are you guys blind? let me throw some facts into your face for those who believe 100% that this will come out at the same time with Xbox 360 in North America and Europe. While it may seem true due to what they said in E3. This is surely known: they made the announcement just recently and decided to port it to the 360. So umm hello? Why the heck would they say "to release simutaneously worldwide with the PS3 version" if they haven't EVEN STARTED ON IT. Gee.... lets make the people on 360 happy that it will come out the same time but screw them over later when they find out it won't come out in the same time.

You forget they originally started on the game in 2006 on PS3, if they started on the Xbox 360 around that time, it would be more believable that they can release the game simutaneously . But out of the blue and expect to release it within 2 years (if it does come out in 2010)? impossible. Especially with crystal tools running on the 360, wouldn't the Unreal Engine work better?

Anyways, the fact is.. they made this originally for the PS3 and they will finish the game first on the PS3. You would expect them to easily finish the game easily for localization on the PS3. But 360? at the same time? thats a whole different system.

and oh yes, how would you guys believe what the guy at SE says? didn't a year ago, they said they plan to release this exclusively on the PS3 with no plans of multiplatform? Hello? what makes this more believable that they will release it the same time with the PS3 in NA? Did you forget about The Last Remnant? what happened? first it was we will release it simutaneously then they changed it to.. "oh we will release it first on the 360.. then later on the PS3" whats the deal?

We know SE can't keep promises, so why believe what they say? They are just feeding you BS so you like what to hear. (Good Xbox doggy, sit!) Personally... I think PS3 version will sell better on the PS3 than on Xbox 360, so why hold out for the 360 version if you completed it first and why not release it? Would you rather sacrifice waiting another year or POSSIBLY two years after the Japanese game was released just to finish the Xbox 360's version to release it simutaneously? NO, i don't think so.

It's a pretty safe bet that the PS3 version will sell better on the PS3 than on the 360.

"FF13 wont matter in late 2010"

I'm willing to bet that the people saying this were the same people who a month ago were saying FF13 would save the PS3.

 

Actually...I'm saying FF XIII won't matter in late 2010 and thought FF XIII wouldn't "save" the PS3 ;P

Actually I think that having decided to port it to XB360 so late, FF XIII besides being uninfluential to PS3's fate, it could be others' doom too.

If it makes full use of BD space and they put it on a lot of DVDs or cut contents to reduce their number for the XB360 version, it could doom XB360, if they cut contents on all versions, PS3 one included, to make the difference less noticeable, SE, pissing off its main public, would doom itself.

I think it's perfecly right that SE ported FF XIII on XB360, but every unnecessary delay, or, worse, content supposed cut out, dictated on PS3 version is very wrong: unless MS paid them a gargantuan sum, on the same order of magnitude SE could earn from PS3 players, only MS will earn something from this.

MS said they would be released simultainously, S E said they hoped they would be released simultainously. In fact the transcript i read made no promises from S E other than it would be ported to 360. You cant blame MS for shouting this up but i cant see S E tying them selves into an agreement that could cost them.



 

 assumption is the mother of all f**k ups

This makes sense, particularly in SE optics, if they didn't get an hefty sum from MS, the most important thing for them is to try to make content everybody, PS3 and XB360 owners (and the latter will already be happy having for their console a former supposed PS3 exclusive), releasing the respective versions as soon as they're ready, even if this ends screwing MS.

there are conflicting reports about this:

http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=200109
on july 15, check the date

same site
http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=205843
on july 29th

I think everyone is confused

Forget pr and use your brains.

Se wont hold FF13 release for a year just to release them at the same time, they need the money as soon as possible.

Either a crap port at the same time as PS3 version, or many months later a decent version.



Bingoo on 30 July 2008

This is the most pointless argument ive seen today. SE clearly stated same release date.
Until anything changes thats been confirmed.

ALso to all those argueing. It doesnt take THAT long to port.

I wonder why people are getting all worked up over this game. I was looking forward to it, hoping to get a xmas '09 release, but the E3 announcement means we won't get it outside of Japan on either system before 2010. Everyone needs to take a chill pill, seriously.

edit:

theraweness

By the time ff13 comes out the ps3 will have already passed the xbox360. The ps3 has a better first party lineup than M$ will ever have, and multi-plats are starting to look better on the ps3. The only other exclusive game M$ will be able to "steal" is GT5 and that games is getting delayed. The only reason it's still close between the 2 is because M$ stole Gta4 and DMC. With sequels to Heavenly sword, uncharted, lair,a jak , little big planet,  a yearly game release from insomniac, and new IP's for the ps3 the xbox360 is looking at a 3rd place finish at best. FF13 wont matter in late 2010 and i'm willing to wager that ps3 version will sell better than the 360 worldwide

Just looked through the second page and saw no one corrected this so I will do it for the thousanth time, Sony owns Polyphony Digital and the Gran Turismo IP, that game will never show up on a Microsoft platform.
