I agree, its should have stayed exclusive. I find it very hard to believe that SE made "Enough extra content to make another game" and waited till they finished it all to decide they didnt need it. That just doesnt compute with me. I figure it goes more like, SE decided to go MP, to get the game on a reasonable amount of DVDs they decided to dump ALL non essential cities, enviornments and NPCs(cuz we now know FFXIII has none of these things) so it will fit perfectly.
