YES



I bet this has something to do with Microsoft. Not that they are moneyhatting to port the game over, but that SE has repeatedly shown interest in putting it on that platform, and M$ is making them jump through hoops. And they don't wanna sabotage the sales of the game for that version

It is just a lot harder to develop especially MMO (needs  a lot of RAM and this gen consoles have pitiful amount of it) for consoles compared to PC.

I dunno....FFXI worked fine....and that was on the PS2. And WoW only needs 512MB of RAM...just for comparisons sake

Agreed.  This kinda stinks of a "surprise" 360 version being announced at TGS or something.



¬_¬

Oh well. Might have to get it on my Dad's PC this year then. IF it's out in the UK this year that is...

Infact. Wait...

Cataclysm is out this year D:

Decisions...



                            

I guess this means that the game will be ported to the Xbox 360. Lucky I wasn't waiting for this Final Fantasy game anyways, so I really don't care if it gets delayed, dumbed down to look identical to the other console or whatever... But it must suck for those who were waiting for this one.

The only bad thing about this (for me) is that maybe now that XIV was announced for March, Square-Enix might want to wait at least 3-6 months after XIV's PS3/360 release to release Final Fantasy Versus XIII... and I do care about that one :S
