FF XIII going multiplatform was the gaming industry equivalent of Jesus turning water into wine. It made the impossible possible. Every game from now on will be heavily speculated to go multiplatform because of this. It truly did change our perceptions of how different things could change in one generation. It didn't really raise the bar though, since Square pulled something equally as shocking when Nintendo lost FF VII for the Playstation. I just think it's been a long time since something this shocking happened. FF XIII was supposed to be the untouchable one. This is coming from someone with very little interest in the game also, no matter where it shows up.
@leo-j-I don't think people are going "Oh whatever, it's multiplatform so who cares". I just think they want to walk into a topic labeled MEGATON! and not feel like they've been had. FF XIII gameplay footage is big to FF fans the same way as Oboro pictures are big to Oboro fans. The same way Gears 2 multiplayer info is big to those fans. It doesn't make any of them MEGATONS, or even anything in the vacinity of one. These are expected occurences. Who realistically didn't expect Square to have gameplay footage ready for TGS when there is a demo coming out in five months in that JPN PS3 bundle?
