So no CGI cutscenes....it's a shame cause that is my favorite part of FF 13.

I wouldn't be so sure. They did the same thing with FFX-2 (Not having many pre-rendered cutscenes).

Likely because they wanted to be cheap would be my guess. + what toriyama said

Huh. Thats some unexpected good news.


Why is it good news? I don't get why getting up twice is worse than lack of content. I would've preferred 3 discs with beautiful CGI cutscenes.

maybe it has something to do with the fact that they're using the same engine so they have gotten better and using up space efficiently?

my money is on re-exploring same areas over and over again.

Me thinks this game's gonna be redundant.

no, well that could be happening as well. But that isn't going to change anything that substantially.

But most of the reason why FFXIII data was so big was cutscenes. 

They could have made the game shorter too... but that's impossible to say until it comes out. And there are plenty big games like skyrim that fit onto 1 disc.

Impossible, because that would imply that XIII has towns which the gamer population seems to disagree with.

Nope.

Prerendered cutscenes eat up storage space like nothing else. This means that it's entirely reasonable to suggest that the prerendered cutscenes of FF XIII required more space than the actual game.


still sucks for me, i actually enjoyed those scenes, (especially the one on the highway), that was the best part of the game for me. oh well, theres always ToG, Rune Factory, Type 0 actually im good on JRPGS

Wonder what they'll do with all that left over space on the PS3 disk - probably nothing :( or a "Special edition" with HD remakes, vsXIII demo included? :drool: )


Uncompressed audio blahblahblah. They'll hardly add anything significant to the experience on PS3 due to Microsoft's new policy.
