If FFVXIII got announced for PS4 it would be a slap to the face imo. I bought a PS3 for games like FFVXIII (among others), I will not buy a PS4 for it. However a pricecut with PS3 and FFVXIII release date at the same time would be big.

I know exactly what you mean, it would feel like a slap in the face. Yet I can understand the inverse of that too. Sales of games this gen have started to slow. Odds are, whatever system it debuts for, it won't be hitting till Next year at soonest. The first FF title of each gen always sells the best for the given console than it's later entries. FFXIII-2 sold less than half of FFXIII which was already under target. Lightning Returns will assuredly do worse. It might be hard for Versus to escape it's association with the FFXIII name unless it moves to PS4. There is something about New console hype that begs more ppl to buy games, as the pickings are a lot slimmer at that point.

Also Nomura had a lot of really lofty goals. Over World Map ala FFIV-IX, seemless battle transitions, night/day cycles, realistic cloud movements, large story enough to fill BluRay, stupendous graphics, etc. Not that I don't think this could have been done on PS3, just that after such a lengthy dev cycle, they will want to make sure all their hard work and effort gets noticed. New console debut would be perfect for that.

PS4 release will overall mean the game is assuredly the best it can be. The big fear I had for FFXIII is that the Multiplatform decision definitely crippled it's performance technically. It totally stifled that game from being half of what Versus was said to be. I would be far more ok with Versus being Multiplatform(ala PS3/PS4, or even sharing it with 720/WiiU)  if it is an upward progression and not a downward one like FFXIII.

I am not saying it is assuredly going to be an Orbis release, just that there is definite reasone to believe otherwise. Hey, we might get that Twilight Princess split release. Either or, its fine by me. Just inject this game into my veins already.

Wasn't that only possible because the GC was similar in architecture to Wii? Hard to believe that they could develop it for both when PS4 allegedly doesn't have a cell processor.
