You dont know what you are talking about. Your statement on FFVII sold on shock value is iladvised and down right rediculous.
OT
Final Fantasy is still very much important. Just not as important as it once was. Their quality in games has declined over the years. Not saying the FF franchise has been bad but the othergames they make have been meh. FFXII was not as good as X and they have failed to reach FFVII level since then. Not to mention the decision to go multiplat makes them even less significant this gen. Exclusives get a lot of screen time in a video gamer's heart. MPs are a dime a dozen so it will no longer have that kind of effect on many.
Who knows, maybe FFXIII will change this. The first of the gen usually does do the best. It is the freshest idea while the laters follow. Versus don't look to shaby tho(better to me). |
The reason why FF is going multiplatform is because the PS3 isn't doing as well as expected. Also, exclusives are very cost prohibitive for the most part except for stuff like MGS4 since MGS is an established series with widespread acclaim and is hugely popular.

Which is why I think the exclusivity of FF Versus XIII will depend on the PS3/360 sales of FFXIII and the potential PS3 install base by the time Versus comes out.
If the PS3 version outsells the 360 version, as an example, say 5M PS3 to 2M 360 (not saying this will happen and it very likely won't) then I think Versus will stay exclusive. But if the versions are 4M PS3 and 3M 360, Versus will likely go Multi. (unless somehow Nomura holds more clout then we all think and somehow gets it to remain PS3 only)
