In the Koalition Article it states that the production of the game was roughly 20% apart. There was no "finish the PS3 version first". The game was created to fit on multiple DVD's hence the reason why the only free roam section of the game fit on the last disc. Im not biased against blu-ray or any crap like that, i just know that the DVD couldn't cater for what Tetsuya Nomura had in mind, or it could have if the game was built around the DVD from the get-go instead of being implemented half way through the development of the game.


And personally i loved the game, i cared more about the westernisation of the game, the delays and Microsoft's terrible business ethics more than anything else.

And there is no need dismiss me as a PS3 fanboy and start trying to defend the XBOX 360 in everyway possible, im here for a conversation not an argument.

When exactly did Kojima say Blu-Ray wasn't useful? Especially considering he filled the damn disc with MGS4.

See, the problem is your "(re)built for DVD" premise is based purely on guesswork and conjecture.  If you read the post-mortem (and if you have already, you need to read it again) it's pretty clear the limiting factor wasn't the game format, it was the massive expense (both in resources and time) in asset creation.  It was also the fact that structural game design decisions evidently came so late in the process, which again doesn't really seem to be linked to 360 going by the post-mortem.  And what does Nomura have to do with anything, he barely touched FFXIII and had like literally nothing to do with the actual game itself (he just did character designs)?

I also find it amusing you'd ask not to be dismissed as a PS3 fanboy, when you're the one mudslinging fanboy labels in here.  Practice what you preach.
