Multi-Disc Final Fantasy XIII On 360 Looking Likely

As we know from the whole Rage debacle, MS's licensing fees increase with each extra disc used for a game. Thus far, only two third party games that I know of have used two discs (the Last Remnant, soon Rage), and only games published by Microsoft have used more than two (Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon).

Lost odyssey required four discs. Can we really expect FFXIII to require any less? How will SE get around the licensing issue? Will they pay the extra fees, fees that were apparently so hefty they forced John Carmack to rework parts of Rage? Will they alter the game, much like Rage? Will they work out some sort of deal with MS?

I wonder what will happen. I know at E3 they claimed that they hadn't yet begun developing the 360 version of the game, and that they weren't planning to start until the ps3 version is finished, so at this point they may have little idea themselves of what they'll have to do to get the game running on the 360, until they actually get down and start doing it.

We don't know that, either.
