Versus XIII is PS3-exclusive worldwide? Perhaps. But so was FFXIII proper, and we all know how that turned out. S-E has broken exclusivity promises before, and they will do it again if they think it could get them more money than it costs. Considering how much of their current revenue comes from porting existing games from one console to another -Chrono Trigger DS is the latest example of this- I think it's foolish to assume that any exclusivity promises will hold. They've refined porting and remaking to a fine art, which drastically reduces the cost to port, which in turn drives up the potential profit of doing so.

I could have sworn I saw a Haeresis 360 announcement in the past, but I'm having trouble finding it. I've already said that I could not confirm it; that remains true.

 

 Alright you wanna mess with a Hardcore fan of Versus XIII? you got it.

1. Final Fantasy "Regular" XIII was NEVER deemed as a worldwide exclusive "merely" saying at the end of each trailer "Coming to PlayStation 3" not saying when or where or how.
2. Versus XIII was deemed as a WorldWide PlayStation 3 Exclusive right from the begining and re-confirmed by Numora and SCEJ themselves.
3. Director of Versus XIII is Tetsuya Nomura, if ya new who this guy was you would know he has a strong bias towards PS3 and Sony. Also Wada has nothing to say in the Versus Project.
4. Sony may be publishing Versus XIII in USA and japan in an agreement that had in 07.
5. Leading into a movie Via exclusive to blu-ray. 
6. Will use a Full blu-ray disc.
7. Sixaxis support for Versus XIII is vital since many controls of the game far outmatchs the amount of buttons on any controler to this day.

And there you have it.

Let's dance, fanboy.

1) False. For a very long time, FFXIII was stated not only to be exclusive to the PS3, but completely impossible on any other platform. This extended not only to FFXIII, but to its engine, Crystal Tools (nee the White Engine, which actually began development on the PS2).

2) True, but the first point makes this irrelevant. The promises of Square-Enix mean nothing.

3) Are you honestly trying to tell me that the president of the company making the game has no say in how the game is made? That goes beyond absurd; that's outright delusional.

Also, Nomura's words about the PS3 have been nothing but mixed; he's gone from hating the PS3 to loving it to hating it to loving it and back and forth over the years. The man can't make up his mind about anything, except perhaps his crush on Gackt.

4) So? Sony hasn't got the power to demand exclusivity from Square-Enix anymore, as losing FFXIII proves beyond any shadow of a doubt. They'd still be fools not to jump at the chance to publish the PS3 version of an FF game, spinoff or no.

5) Um... what? I don't understand this point. We're not writing in Japanese; you cannot simply eliminate both the subject and predicate from a sentence and expect to be understood, especially when writing.

6) Sure, it'll use a full disc... most likely with lots of duplicated data to make up for speed problems and uncompressed data to hook the technophiles who only see a difference because the marketers told them they should. Throw in some decent compression and you could easily reduce such a game's size by 80% or more: easily within the range of two DVD-9s. Sure, you'd have to change discs once. OH, THE HORROR! Someone call Amnesty International to complain about this vile torture of switching discs!

7) When has anyone ever mentioned this? All I've heard seems to point to the opposite.
