I stopped believing FF Vs XIII was exclusive after all the delays. It's go on so long it needs to go multiplatform to make up the losses. If it gets renamed FF XV and is marketed as the next big FF than I expect it to be nothing else but multiplatform and even more multiplatform than FF XIII.


And you really still believe going Multiplat would help a Japanese Game?That worked so well in this Gen yeeeeeah ;)
It would probably sell a lot less cause

a) The Real Fanbase on the Sony side is pissed of
b) there aren't enough people on other consoles interested in such games to make up the loss of people from the Sony side.

And going Multiplat did hurt SquareEnix a lot and so did it with other Japanese Companies.
Just look at Tales of(Xillia) - Xillia got Franchise PreOrder Records and destroyed FF13-2 IN JAPAN if you compare the first few weaks.Why?Cause it was a PS3 Exclusive - The only thing that mattered.
Versus13 would lose a lot if it would be a Multiplat for this Gen cause other consoles can't handle a PS3 Exclusive and this is a fact especially if someone like Nomura is behind it.
Don't know why people can't allow others to have a fun with a good Final Fantasy or something like that.Its your own fault/choice for not having a PS3.No need to destroy the fun of the other people.
Early NextGen Multiplat would be something different of course but i don't think they would do that even if a PS3 Exclusive would probably look good enough to work as a stealth NextGen Game.

"a) The Real Fanbase on the Sony side is pissed of"

Anyone pissed off that a series with no contractual association to Sony goes multiplatform should really reassess their priorities.


"b) there aren't enough people on other consoles interested in such games to make up the loss of people from the Sony side."

See my anwser to "a)"

Square Enix is not a 1st party Sony developer. Final Fantasy didn't even get it's start on Playstation. The frnachise has been on so many different platforms I'm not going to waste my time listing them all. If anything disallowed fun it would be limiting Final Fantasy to one platform for no reasons. The Engine is multiplatform and the tools are multiplatform so the game should be multiplatform. If you can't enjoy a multiplatform game because filthy none Sony gamers can play it without a Playstation I don't know what to tell you.

3rd Party games have NO obligation to be exclusive. Only when a console maker steps in and pays for it should they be exclusive. Unless Sony pays for a Final Fantasy the games should continue to be ported to be played by as many people as possible.
