Xbox 360 Final Fantasy Versus XIII Under Consideration

Square Enix CEO does not rule out multiplatform change for FFXIII sister project.

Final Fantasy XIII was originally a PlayStation 3 exclusive, but ended up making the switch to multiplatform PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Sister project Final Fantasy Versus XIII was also originally a PlayStation 3 exclusive, and has stayed as such since its announcement.

The various Versus trailers that we've seen since FFXIII's multiplatform switch have made it clear that this particular FF game would be PS3-only worldwide. But CEO Yoichi Wada was less firm on this stance during a Q&A session that concluded an investors meeting today in Tokyo.

As reported at Impress Watch, when asked if it would be best to give Versus a multiplatform release on Xbox 360, Wada replied "We'll be looking into it internally until right before the formal announcement."

The question was asked in relation to Final Fantasy XIII and the possibility of the game's Xbox 360 release having helped to extend sales overseas.

By "formal announcement," Wada is presumably referring to the proper unveiling of Versus. While we've seen plenty of trailers for the game, most recently via a short teaser clip at December's Jump Festa event, Square Enix has yet to show gameplay footage outside of some camera-grabbed teaser footage that was shown at last year's Tokyo Game Show.

The game's formal unveiling is widely expected to take place at next month's E3 expo in Los Angeles, although director Tetsuya Nomura has given some hints that it could come later.

So what do you think?

I hope not! Its not because I don't want more people to play it I just wanna see how far S-E can push PS3.

Fck wada. If this happns I'll never buy a FF game from them agen unless its announcd multiplat from get go. Xbox 360 hs ruined FF13 grfx & scope, half the contnt was taken out of th game. despite tht FF13 is my game of gen, bt it cud hve been so much more if they ddnt hve to deal with size restrictions

this move will delay versus & bring down its scope (like GTa4 & ffxiii went down in scope). I wnt evr support squre-enix agen, FF13 will be my last if this happens, I am sick of it & PS3 fans r too.

1.Is versus even gonna make it b4 next gen starts?

2.Wouldn't be surpise after ff13 announcement so if I were you ppl who's hopping this to stay exclusive dont get your hopes up cause you can damn well expect Wada will crush into fine pieces.

3.I want to see more gameplay seriously....

So we'll be treated to yet another diluted rpg instead of the promised delicious sauce... beautiful.

 

Also, feel free to remove towns and sidequests, and include only the english track because of space requirements.

I dunno, FF13 has done very well on xbox 360, but I still think the sales it has there could have been achieved on PS3 too. I think PS3 can sustain a FF game by itself. But if all S-E is seeing is sales on the paper then yeah they would want to do this move.

I think they should make Versus timed exclusive worldwide at the least as a litmus test. For example many people said MGS4 was going multiplat but when it sold that well on PS3 I don't think Konami felt there was any need to go multiplat.

Not surprising at all. Everyone knew it would happen. If you check my post history I predicted it at least 10 times lol.

But hey, here's a great reason for more people to hate FFvXIII....because 90% of the hate FFXIII got was from PS3/360 fanboys.

The 360 had nothing to do with that, it's normal for games (especially ones where a few people have as much artistic control as they did with FF13) to have content cut. Heavy Rain had content cut too. It has nothing to do with space, it's a matter of making a good game, and not all content is good for the game. And the graphics in the PS3 version weren't hurt by the 360, it was quite clear that the content from the PS3 version was all ported to the 360, and the graphics were parred down on the 360 to make that process easier. There is in fact quite a jump between the two versions.

And would you please start trying to spell properly? Reading your posts are a hassle.
