Here is some of the article

"Initial screenshots of the game may well look different to what we have now. This is part of the process of making the game - we have to get a feel for what the system can and can't handle - sometimes things are made better, sometimes things like the number of polygons on a model are reduced to make it more easy to display," he said, giving the reasons for the changes.


The important thing for us is that the game runs smoothly on both systems. We have made changes to the game, but nothing because of one system specifically - all changes have been made to get maximum performance."

Fact is, SE is a company.

Being a company, they want to maximise profit from their games. How is this acheived? By making one version of a game.

The PS3 is graphically more powerful than the 360 & has bluray. Bluray is bigger than DVD.

Making a game on more than one DVD costs more money, yet they are still expected to be sold at the average price of a game. Therefore it is in SE's best interest to make FF13 as small as possible to get it on as few DVDs as possible.

Therefore, FF13 is downgraded to fit onto DVD, and to work well with the 360's hardware. Can't really argue or deny this.
