Why is this good?? - this suggests that it will have more cutscenes than the amazingly dull 6 hours of cutscenes in FF13. somthing i wont allow myself to endure again.

either way i doubt the sales will make up for the 6 years the game has been in development, adversly neither will 6 hours of cutscenes.

"amazingly dull 6 hours of cutscenes in FF13."

(1)...Are you serious? It is one of the only times that a cutscene longer than 5 minutes hasn't put me to sleep. With most other games, I am mashing every button trying to skip the cutscenes, because they are so mind numbingly boring. I happily sat through every cutscene FFXIII through at me, it was either rediculously beautiful, action packed and epic or contained a huge amount of character and story development.

The irony is, FFXIII has a cutscene skip feature in the first place, so why are you complaining?

Anyway...

(2) The more cutscenes the better, I am a sucker for pretty pre-rendered cutscenes, especially CGI. Although I want Square Enix to put all that content in, 2 Blu-Ray discs aren't needed. Can't they just add more layers to the Blu-Ray disc anyway?

(1) Yes all the cut scenes were awesome and kept me gripped, I agree with you there. 6 hours wasn't enough in cut scenes in the end. This is why FFXIII-2 is being made for us.

(2) Technically dual layer is the max, so thats 50GB...its rumored adding more layers to a blu ray disc is more expensive than having another disc itself.

It will be cut scenes that push it to 2 blu rays or not.

The specific reason for FF TYPE-0 being 2 UMD's is the SCALE of the story = loadss of cut scenes as the story is long

If Skyrim can be on 1 disc (assuming it is until confirmed otherwise), any game should be able to content wise.


1.) I know, I wanted more cutscenes myself aswell, especially in the ending scenes etc, there wasn't enough explaining. 

2.) I heard a rumour that you could stick on another layer or two, maybe I was wrong. I also heard from many relaible tech websites that there was a 400gb Blu-Ray disc compatible with the PS3, but that was just PR bullshit.

Skyrim is different though, it might have a large world but it doesn't have a huge soundtrack, tonnes of cutscenes (both in-game and pre-rendered), plus I think most of the game data such as textures are re-used. I don't know though, I am not a developer. Big JRPG's seem to like lots of space, so I will leave them to it.
