@lilbroex you even bold a section that says "cut due to balance and GAME VOLUME".ie size.
Consider that we know se cut cgi for x2. Logically se are ready to cut content to fit. Sure we dont precisely have them saying they cut content out because of the 360, but we do know they are willing to cut to save space. Perhaps im just reading between the lines but non essential doesnt mean unnecessary to me, it means not crucial to the story.


Game volume does not mean "SIZE". I have never heard the size of a game on a disc referecned as game volume as volume is an inward to outward counter.

Game volume is the volume of the content in the game. How much you have to do to get from point a  to point b. The number of areas, the number of people you talk to. If they wer talking about size then they would say game size or game storage. As he said they wanted the game to be story driven. They scaled down the volume in order to remove uncessary interuptions to the plot. That is how they make their games now.

Non essential and uncessary mean the exact same thing in the way he used them.


You skpped all of the points just to distort the ambiguity of that one statement.

Once again. Please explain what aspect of Lightning's home and Snow's Base would take up more than 7GB of data. Do you think they were bigger than the calm lands looking place and the city of Cocoon?

I have to agree with theprof on this one.
"The game now fits all on one disc due to Square Enix’s decision to ditch Hi-Res FMVs for in-engine cut scenes."
This is the main reason I did not buy 13-2. I can forgive final fantasy a lot of misgivings as long as I know I'll get rewarded regularly with spectacular cutting edge cgi.
