I don't understand why people keep saying FFXIII is not possible on the Wii. What in the game, that hasn't even been made yet, would make it in capable of working on Wii's hardware? This just doesn't make sense to me. It is just an RPG.

Any who, I am really intrigued at what could be on the horizon.


Have you seen the screenshots or videos? Those graphics are not possible on the Wii.

So, that's it, only graphics. That's bs. Those graphics were not gameplay but pre-rendered that could easily be small videos on Wii. The only problem I would foresee is actual gameplay. That is what is pushing hardware, not videos. What about the gameplay is completely out for Wii.

I will have to search the video on FFIII to see if there are any gameplay shots I don't remember, however, I think it is entirely possible. Sure, not as pretty as PS3, but possible. Of course this is entirely up to the contract between Sony and SquareEnix.

EDIT: Ok, I saw some of what I think gameplay videos/pics are, yes Wii couldn't do that. So fine, unless SquareEnix completely downgrades the graphics, the main game could not be on Wii.


Thank you for looking.

@albionus:  There is no evidence what-so-ever that any FF game will sell poorly, no matter what console it is released on.  You greatly underestimate it's power to sell consoles...everywhere, but especially in Japan.   It's just not going to sell poorly.  If there was one game announced that I knew would sell specifically PS3 consoles, it would be FF13.  I'm sure a large majority of current owners will own it, too.
