Lost Odyssey, a RPG that is not only as long as FFXIII but is not as restrictive, wasn't compromised due to the limitations of DVDs, why does FFXIII get a free pass? Maybe if Square-Enix didn't focus so much on uncompressed audio and video, among other questionable design choices, they wouldn't had run into this hurdle. This is also assuming the content wasn't purposely removed to cheat consumers.
