At first they say the game will be identical. Then they say the PS3 version will not be changed. This is a paradox, for they cannot be identical when the two systems are at two different levels of power. SE says they are using 100% of PS3's power(obviously an exageration) but this hints that they are trying to use the most of the system.

- There is no paradox, the so-called paradox comes from people thinking that PS3 is more powerful than the 360, when from what I know both systems are close in performance.

SE said the games will be indentical, meaning whatever they do as far as in-game assets (polygon counts, texture sizes, etc) can run on Xbox 360 without a need to change them, the only thing I think SE might have to do differently, is compress the videos for the cut-scenes for 360 maybe, if not they will use the same file type for video on both systems, so therefore the PS3 version will not have to be changed even if they were developing the game with both systems in mind.

Like I said in my previous post SE are doing the PS3 first, then start development on the 360, if the PS3 version is done, (the japanese version) then they won't be able to change the game, and like I said before they can just use the same assets and run the game on 360, the only difference will be multiple disks on 360, THATS IT!

 

This isn't even an argument of which system is more powerful than the other. This is purely based on the fact the architectures are so different. We have seen what happens when you utilize the full specs of one system. MP cannot do this for the whole perk of being MP is that you can be easily translated. No matter which way you are porting, it cannot be an even swap.

SE said they are using full specs of PS3

SE says the PS3 version will not be affected by the 360 version

SE says that the two versions will be equal

SE is PORTING FFXIII to the 360

360 version will not start until the PS3 version has released.

Ok, one or more of these has to be a lie in order for the others to be true. You cannot use full specs, not alter one, andthey still be equal. They are just trying to quell the massive mob of people who would hate them even more if they said otherwise. They are trying to tell us what we want to hear, even though it may not be true.

Also I REALLY dont believe they will not be starting the 360 version till the PS3 version is done. There is no set way of knowing how long it will take unless you started already and are able to budget how progress is going.Progress has to start in order to do that. Plus, it would be really stupid to not start on it as soon as possible. If they dont then it could possibly hinder the release of the entire game, which HAS to release similtaneously on PS3 and 360 in america. If they said that the 360 shant effect the PS3 ver then this simply cannot be as well. This pretty much kills the fact that they are telling the truth about everything.
