Yoshinori Kitase, producer of the soon-to-be-released Final fantasy XIII, has praised PS3's capabilities, saying the machine helped envision the game.

"The PS3 is definitely a spectacular machine and the team was really able to realize its visions for the characters and graphics, and at the same time, were able to have big onscreen battles going on," he told the PlayStation blog. "The PS3 hardware was something that really helped envision the game."

Now bear in mind he was talking to the PlayStation blog, so he's hardly likely to say 360 was easier to build on. And if he did, we can't imagine the blog staff posting it.

Regarding the much-talked about DLC factor, Kitase would only say, "we feel that the final product is 100% enjoyable...it's the complete package. So we're not planning any DLC at this time.

"In regard to the rumoured cut content, we feel it was taken out of context. There are a lot of ideas that are brought to the table, and then the team takes the best ideas out of those, and the final product is polished that way. There was content that were 'ideas' that didn't make the final content, but the team isn't looking to release that as downloadable content.

Full interview here.

If you own both machines, which version do you plan on picking up? Personally, I'm going for PS3. Final Fantasy for me will always be a PlayStation game.

but he says that the 360's dvd standard has nothing to do with cut content in the nicest of ways.... you sure you dont want the 360 version? mabey a few chocobos will be sprite-based on that or cave's are absent , whatever.

he's just kissing ass trying to please fans from both sides of the consoles. he said the samething for the 360 from my understanding from a comment left by a user in the playstationlifestyle article. squareenix is losing its credibility the more they talk to be honest. also anyone who believes the 360 limited dvd size has no influence in the removal of content are oblivious. one holds 8gbs the other holds 25-50gbs you tell me if dvd had nothing to do with removal of contnt. square themselves said they are all for "console equality" and the reason they removed content was to 'retain a balance between the games'.

yeah SE has always been a premium brand, they want to be better than the deluge of JRPGS out there by far, I feel that they will probably move to Blu-ray land after FF XIII and versus if the PS3 can get closer to the 360 with their WW SW
