PS3 Version Of FFXIII Downgraded Due To 360

Enough of the graphics comments. The 360 is perfectly capable of equaling anything the PS3 puts out. I'm sure the first response will be "NOT KILLZONE 2!" We'll see on that one. Many multiplatform games actually look better on the 360. I highly doubt the graphics were compromised in this game. Square has never been a graphical powerhouse so I don't know why people expected anything amazing. The first screenshot you are comparing is a from a CGI video which is a render target. Its not going to look like the first videos released.

I think the focal point of the complaint IMO would be dual audio due to space issues not graphics. When a much cheaper game like Valkyria chronicles could add it, people have become spoiled. JP voice for VC was awesome. Roaming at endgame could also be a problem because it would be difficult to fit all the towns on every disc. I remember in ff8, the excuse was that the towns had been left behind when they moved through time so none of them could be accessed on disc 4.

The roaming problem could be solved with the "legend of dragoon method" In that game, certain towns are on certain discs but the world map is on all discs. You have to switch discs when you go to an old town and switch back when you return. This game was a case when I'd take installs over disc-swapping. So the problem here is that, they'll probably take the ff8 approach since thats the only one that can apply to both  the ps3 and 360 versions i.e make up some excuse for why some places can no longer be accessed at some point.

These are my biggest fears after watching the interview with Kitase (i think) on gametrailers. Graphics would still be gorgeous eitherway. Dual audio is already a guaranteed loss which is sad.
