Don't get me wrong, I'm still really excited and likely to love the game.


But looking at my Top 5 of this generation (excluding the Wii for this comparison)

1. MGS4
2. Uncharted
3. Call of Duty 4
4. Bioshock
5. Mass Effect

Then you add in games like Gears of War, Heavenly Sword and R&C:ToD with their visual excellence.

With the exception of CoD4, all those games are exclusive. Even with Bioshock which is now Multi, at the time of its development it was focused solely on the 360.

Bioshock's coming to PS3 though, so where will it take the hit, since that's your argument?

Also if FF is always supposed to be a technical masterpiece, shouldn't we have considered it automatically compromised because it was on the PS2 and not the Xbox?

 

Bioshock for PS3 is coming out 14 months after the 360 version.

As for your PS2 comment...no. My point is not the PS3 is the best option, but rather I want the game to be exclusive to a console, any console. This is why I wrote this

This isn't anti-360 at all, in fact, I would much rather they had announced FFXIII as a 360 Exclusive then have it Multiplatform

This is retarded. Did you guys not listen/read the square enix booth thing.

They said they are releasing the game in Japan. Then start the language translation and the 360 version. So the 360 version isn't being even started until the ps3 version is released somewhere.

So in no way does this affect the ps3 version. They will find out after the game is already out if the 360 will need to make cuts here or there on hardware specs later. They ain't gonna gimp the already finished ps3 version if the 360 needs to be at all.

Quit trying to start a whine fest over nothing. Are you still getting FFXII. Yes. Is it being delayed a bit cause of 360, this possibly. Who knows, maybe it takes just as long for them to get the language all done as it does to make the engine work on 360. Most likely though it will delay the game because of this. So you can whine about that. But don't once ever whine about quality of the game.

Isn't primary development on a PC engine than porting to consoles?
If so, hardly a major drawback...

This isn't a "whine fest", it is simply a worry that the game will not be as good since it is MP. I'm basing this on the fact all my favorite games have generally been Exclusives. I fail to see the harm in that.

As far as the question "is it being delayed because of the 360 version", the answer is clearly yes.

Well I wasn't excited about the game to begin with. :p And why the heck would the game suddenly become worse on PS3 when it's also released on Xbox360? :s That's the strangest thing I heard today, and that says something. :p And if you followed the news you'd know the game gets released in Japan on PS3 first, and then AFTER that they begin bringing it to Xbox360.. :s So the XB version of the game has absolutely nothing to do with the PS3 version. Meaning one won't affect the other.

 

If MGS was on the 360, or if GTA4 was only the PS3.

Would they be the same game?

nope

Well yes, this is just like how the GameCube version of Resident Evil 4 got much worse because they ported the game to PS2 after the 'Cube version was already out.

The game will be a high quality JRPG exclusive or not

It's the exact same thing as Bioshock. Square confirmed that FF XIII will be made on Crystal Tools on a PC for the PS3. It will THEN be ported to the 360 after completion. They mentioned that the choice to bring it to 360 was very recent, and we were watching the PS3 build during that conference. It's had over 2 years of development time where it was being optimized for PS3. How is that any different than Bioshock being made on the PC with the 360 in mind and then after completion, repotimized for the PS3? I don't see the difference.

I completely agree it will be delayed.  But you never know.  I'm totally not seeing this till xmas 2010.

 

But still you ignored my main point.  The game is finished on the PS3 before they start to even work on 360 (hence the delay that sucks).  So how in the hell would the game being multiplat make it less quality. 

 

Basically this game is like RE4 or Bioshock.  Comes out for PS3 and then they decide to make it for the 360.  Only shitty part is that the US and Europe release for PS3 game has to wait for the other platform to be done as well.  So your PS3 version will be the same.  360 may suffer some things such as RE4 when going to the PS2.

Or else could benefit on things like Bioshock may on PS3, or RE4 did for the Wii.  Considering they talked a lot about their engine being made on PC, which is more similar to 360 from what I hear could make it run smoother or better or something who knows. (and don't start makign it seem like I think 360 will be better or anything, just throwing out examples and possibilty.  But either way this has nothing to do with the main point.)

PS3 version will not be affected at all, except delay.
