 The companies won't outright say what they had to change, but one of the guys at SE did let it slip that half of the content was cut out.

Source?  Because the widely publicized post-mordem pretty squarely laid the lack of content at the feet of HD asset creation (ie: it took too long and cost too much).  If there really was a version of FFXIII with double the content, it'd have taken around 8 years to make and probably pushed the budget north of $200m.

What was cut was the postgame DLC scenarios and it's not clear if that was due to 360 or PS3 (360 has stricter regulations on pricepoints and scheduling, but PS3 has higher fees for hosting and a fragmented approval/QA process), but the rumor is now that stuff's being reworked into a new "FFXIII-2" game or something anyway.

I do actually agree with you that there really is no proof whether they cut content due to the multiplat decision. 

 

Do I think VS will go to 360?

Absolutely.  Wada would probably go as far as push it to be a 360 exclusive if 3/4 of the sales weren't going to be on the 360.  Wada has definitely tried to get his fans to go for the 360 over the PS3 this generation.

 

Will I be angry because of a fanboy issue?

No.  I think it's fine that more people get to play it.  However, I would prefer seeing SE be able to make the best game they can for one platform and not need to focus on trying to accomodate the limitations of having to juggle multiplatform development.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
