If this turned out true, expect to see:
-more delays
-downgraded graphics
-no Japanese audio
-and much less towns!!

Wada really f$%king up SquareEnix, I'm so shocked that he haven't been fired yet!!

Because the company knows how cryptic & polarizing FF fans are.

Every* FF after FF6 has been called the FF that "ruined the series" by a certain group of haters for those games.

On VGchartz itself I've seen every* FF after FF6 atleast being called the one that ruined the series.

Yet then every single one of them sell extremely well.

*Exception FF9 & well that sold the least out of the PS ones....yes there were other circumstances there but still thats the figure square see.

Now about Wada...the past year has been the best for them financially since the merger so you know no-one is gonna fire Wada.

Yoichi Wada should have a iate dropped in his head seeing as he looks like he doesn't have enough money !

After the success of the 360 version (it's true that it sold 1/4 of what the PS3 version did, but it's still a success, as the 360 is not commonly associated with a RPG console), this was to be expected.

As long as they can mantain the quality and give us a good game, why should this be an issue?

In other words, no surprises here.

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.

The PS3 version only outsold the 360 version by 800k in the west, the only areas they were competing in, and the 360 version was clearly a rushed port, so they can't have spent a lot of money on it. If they can start on it earlier, they might even release FFvXIII (360) in Japan as well, and I don't think the PS3 version will be able to sell as much if it's exclusive, as both versions combined if it is multiplat.

I think the chances of FFvXIII remaining exclusive are slim.

So the PS3 couldn't have made up for the 360 sales?

MGS4 did just fine making on PS3 & outsold MGS3.

@geddesmond

YAWN

The plan was to make it linear from the get go, they didn't change the whole games structure after 2008. Did you whine when FFX was on the weakest console last gen?

Get over it.

Ah right so you know it was there plan to make FF13 linear from the get go because? So they planned from the very start to make an area called Gran Pulse which they would use as there only place that gives the player a sense that there playing an RPG. Stick it near the end of the game were it coincidently lands on the 3rd Disk of the Xbox 360 version, Yeah sure they did. Anyone who thinks FF13 wasn't sacraficed for an Xbox 360 version are just fooling themselfs.

 

Oh no YOU are fooling yourself. So your telling me that after the port was announced in 2008 they CHANGED the entire game & made it linear in the 1 years 6 months they had to release it for the Japan release? Puh-lease

Again thats how the game was planned, you didn't like it, fine tough luck but its not xbox 360's fault, get over it.

Oh my god I'm shocked that you actually think they only started working on a 360 version of the game after they announced it. OK if the game wasn't sacrificed for the Xbox 360 version of the game then explain to me why the first 2 disks of the 360 version contain only story chapters and no missions or freedom what so ever and you can't go back to an of those areas. You explain to me those things there and maybe I'll stop fooling myself as you put it.

I'm, not god, I don't know.

The devs clearly though it would be boring to let you back track when those chapters were a straight line. I know I would be bored to do that. I'd like an option to play each chapter again in New Game + mode but I would hate to backtrack.

Now you give me concrete evidence on how "Xbox 360 ruined FF13", by concrete evidence I mean a source. 

Any response to this post without concrete evidence will be seen as an admittance of defeat.

I can't believe I'm going back and fourth with someone whos first FF game was probably FF10. Anyway your last bit of that post was just a very childish comment. But seen as you must have missed this a few months back I'll post the link again.

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/13/square-enix-cut-a-games-worth-of-content-from-final-fantasy-xii/

I've been playing FF games for over 12 years and I know what a FF games is. FF13 was not a FF game and if FFV13 goes multiplat I will not be buying it because I know it will be just another linear piece of crap compared to the rest of the games in the series.

Oh and by the way, any response to this post without concrete evideance that FF13 wasn't sacrificed because of the 360 version will be seen as an admittance that you don't know shit about the FF series. There see how that works there.

You call that a "source"? Every Final Fantasy games has some contents removed. Does the word "international" ring any bells?

The only thing (confirmed) that has been removed due to the X360 version was the Japanese voices option in the western version.

Shouldn't you know about that, since you're a "true" final fantasy fan.......

This thread is crazy, I left to make some green tea and get a small bit to eat and come back and everyones ripping each others heads off and stating the most obsured things like Xbox ruining Final Fantasy, how XIII had game content cut out because of the 360. Give me a break this kind of stuff has been happening for many many years. Anyone remember Zelda: Wind Waker? yeah that Nintendo Game!? Well it had 2 whole dungeons removed, 2. TWO removed from the final game. There is NOT a game out there that has been in development for many years that does not get content removed sometimes a lot. It has to happen or these games will have an added 1.5+ years longer in developement which would probably cause some of you to hang yourselves.

Jesus man, I get that the PS3 version is better! It's nothing like that my argument. I want to know why so many think that the 360 version made the PS3 version worse. Like removed towns, dungeouns... etc...

Because first dev screens was better than final game??? After the game go to multi the screens out was not near to old screens... screens from of PS3 old dev was a lot better.

Maybe this.

OP: Amazing sales for a great game... deserve.

I hope this one stays exclusive, because this game will need much more HDDspace compared to XIII to get enough space for us (players) to move around as free as SE promised we could.
Square Enix should keep their promise and stand their ground and say something like "We need 95 Gb to keep our promise and we ain't deletting anything to break it".
So just make a 2x Double-layer-BD-game and give MS the choice to get it on bluray, on 11x Doublelayer-DVD's or laugh at them and kick them out!

I won't say it's the 360's fault that content got deleted from XIII, but if vsXIII is going multiplat (PS3 + x360) then it probably will be.

Therefor I'm going to church 2x each week to light a candle until they give us the final word about this game. :P

Considering FF13 was reported to be 6-something GBs of data and 30-something GBs of videos, 360 has nothing to do with content cuts. Lost Odyssey was 4 DVDs, Star Ocean 4 was 3 DVDs, Mass Effect 2 was 2 DVDs, there's no problem. The only thing the 360 can't do as opposed to the PS3 is the 1080p video content, the actual game content cuts are SE's fault.

People need to stop being blind, none of us has stock in SE, Sony, or MS, so why take sides in something that is clearly the developers fault?

I am in sense, but not exactly. I consider myself more general "Squaresoft" fan, which complains about FFX to FFXII! :P
Given I starting to like Square this generation somewhat.

But seriously this a new low that I am seeing, kinda depressing.

Speaking of which Darth, Platinum Final Fantasy 13?
