i guess

 

Square pretty much admitted it but whatever

I've never ready anything to suggest it. Source?

just go to google and type in something like "square cut content from final fantasy 13" or something

 

there will be multiple links

Did it. Didn't find any quotes from anyone at Square saying the 360 limited game content. Everything mentioning cut content doesn't say it was for the port.

I remember reading an article about a 3D asset artist working for Square on FF13. She said she worked for months on a 3D model of a rock. It wans't that it was difficult or it needed to be just right for a really special scene. It was just a random rock, but nobody check in on her and she had nothing else to do but work ont he rock.

Stories like that tell me that Square lost focus and had too many people working on too many things. Of course unfinished junk is going to get cut from a game when you have too many cooks in the kitchen and the head chef doesn't even know what's for dinner.

Supposedly the cut content wasn't "junk"

i also remember square stressing about getting ff13 on specifically 3 discs for 360. That's what they kept "aiming" for.

 

Edit: i couldn't find a link for the specific article i read on it but here is this http://www.vg247.com/2010/02/02/confirmed-ffxiii-360-to-ship-on-3-dvds/

 

they had to cut a game's worth of content from FF13 so it could fit on 3 360 discs

That link does nothing to back up your claim, though.

You are correct that a game's worth of content was cut, but the 360 was never blamed for it:

oh i remember this

i was going to mention that but i couldn't think of the names

these were supposedly some examples of what was cut from FF13

 

and the link i provided DOES back my claim wtf lol

Neither link says "Square Enix cut content from FF13 because of the Xbox 360". So no, it doesn't. In fact, the link I posted specifically mentions why the content was removed, and it WASN'T because of the 360.

we can hope that this is true but it is what it is

and of course they didn't just flat out say "it was because of the 360" lol XD

 

they wouldn't have stressed so much about fitting it on specifically 3 dvds if that was the case. they had to trim that bad boy down

 

but whatever

Why trim it down? Why not use 4 DVDs like Lost Odyssey?
