Right now Final Fantasy XIII on the PS3 (with 19 reviews) has a 83.13%. Which makes it the worst reviewed (main line) Final Fantasy game (not including re-releases).

The 360 version has a 79.25% (with 8 reviews).

Does anyone agree that putting the 360 into the focus of development of this game was a bad idea?

I don't care what the score is. Many people on the forums are loving it and one even said it would take a train wreck for it to not be his game of the gen.

Well for me this generation hasn't stacked up to the previous gen at all.

So that doesn't mean much for me.

But you can't say that this isn't a sign that Final Fantasy is losing it's luster.

"Does anyone agree that putting the 360 into the focus of development of this game was a bad idea?"

A lot of reviewers went into gameplay with the mindset that the 360 version is not only inferior but held back the progression of the PS3 version. Add in a little fanboyism with a dash of standard JRPG dislike, and you have some lower scores.

Or the game just is not great.

Final Fantasy is just as good as it use to be. It's not the devs fault that people are anal over every single little thing that doesn't go there way. SE just needs to keep doing what they have doing. Except they need to get them out faster.

EDIT: Corrected my ultra fail spelling.

I agree that putting the 360 into the focus of development was a terrible idea, as was putting the focus on the PS3 in the first place a terrible idea. I say they ought to have made it for PC because why would you want your gaming masterpiece limited by consoles.

SE just put too much emphasis into the graphic and CGI cutscene. That cut a lot of time to do anything to broaden the gameplay. Then the port also cut some time into it.
I wonder how much difference this is to Versus.

wrong forum. This game is multiplat.

I respect your opinion. But I would have to say the older FF's are lightyears ahead. The new FF's are but a shadow of the greatness they once were.

I agree with this statement.
