Sony exclusives that went multiplat have largely failed

you have to remember that Square cut a MAJOR load of content from the ps3 version of FF13 to fit on 3 360 discs

 

FF13 would've been a better overall game

we will never know what FF13 was REALLY supposed to be like

 

but what's done is done

Now it wasn't. That is a myth. FF13 was almost certainly finished and ready to go when at the last minute it was delayed to be ported to 360. It would have been the exact same game had it been a PS3 exclusive. Stuff gets cut from all games during development for many reasons. Everything that was cut from FF13 was most probably cut before it was ported, which is normal for game development. There is no evidence to suggest that the game was changed in any way due to the limited disc space of the 360. The 360 version was compressed and put on multiple discs and that's the only difference.

The most evidence we have is that it WAS cut to fit the 3 360 discs

that doesnt explain anything, the bluray discs have more space, there are a few multiplat games that came out on more than one disc for 360 that didnt need so for PS3, doesnt automatically mean stuff was cut. And what was the stuff that was cut? Wasnt most of the game done BEFORE they even started porting to 360? How much was done before they were even approached by MS? They never said. Im not buying it, I think they made a crappy game and when they were found out they tried to shift the blame to 360

"Artwork was created for Lightning's living room and bedroom. You could practically walk through Lightning's house. However due to space issues the island was cut from FFXII"

Like you said, this supposed space issue is obviously not from the BluRay side.

There were several Artworks released for FFXIII that depicted unvisited areas by the time that game released. A few of them appear eerily similar to FFXIII2 locals. When this was pointed out, these images vanished from the internet, as did the comments from disgruntle SE devs that said during the porting process they were told that several plot points were dropped due to "space limitations" and it was important to fit no more than 3 discs(as MS was waving their fee attached to shipping on multiple discs). I will continue to see if I can find it....
