You know, usually in circumstances like these, I blame the developers. But with SE and FF13, I think it has more to do with the DVD format and the fact that MS reserves ~1GB of each disc for itself. I mean FF games since 7 have been heavy on the CGI cutscenes. I would guess that given this is the first one for the HD systems, SE probably have gone all out on the CGI cutscenes. So all those, plus the game assets (which have to be repeated multiple times on the different discs) for a 50 hr game, probably take up a crap load of space. Sure they could have made the game look about equal, but that would have meant either taking out some cutscenes/story or putting it on 4-6 discs. I not 100% sure about this, but I have a suspicion MS may have "suggested" a 3 disc limit, as it would have made their version/console look more inferior coming on ~5 discs.
Having said all that, if the game still plays smoothly on the 360, I'm sure it will still be a fun experience. |
Lost Odyssey was on 4 DVDs and that was published by Microsoft. Why would Microsoft allow LO 4 DVDs but limit FF13 to 3?

ProdigyBam is right. Being a multi-plat, people are going to naturally draw comparisons between the games on all fronts. The amount of discs is going to be one. I believe another reason is the that Lost Odyssey came out over 2 years ago in America. That was before Sony really turned up the heat on the competition. So now, MS is going to try and show that their console is still equal on most fronts so people continue to buy their system, as well as multi-plats on their console. And having a game come out on PS3 with 1 disc, while they would require at least 5 or more to make it equal is just going to be unacceptalbe to them. Most likely unacceptable to the more casual multi-console gmers, as well.
