So who makes decisions on Multi-Platformness?

The reason I ask is because the Director of FFVsXIII is Tetsuya Nomura and, correct me if I am wrong, he likes developing games with only one platform in mind. Also, I believe he has only ever worked with a Sony system.

 

 Nope, he worked on the super famicom/SNES, the Nintendo DS, did some PC work etcetera as well.

is it true they will begin the Xbox360 after the Japanese release ???

if it is true it is just STUPID !

Why dont begin the xbox360 right now !!

 

 Urm, at this point its all portable quote on PCs anyway.

Its not like they have to reprogram the entire game for either system.

They develop on really crazy networked PC setups and their inhouse engine Crystal Tools then converts that data for PS3 and 360, then they do some more system specific optimalisations.

It doesnt take THAT long once they have the game on their non system specific devkits to turn it into an actual system specific game.

Cause we all know in the past, how the PS3 versions of multiplats have been far superior

As of late, many have been better, though not by far.  When PS3 versions have been deficient, they've historically been ports of builds originally intended for 360 and possibly PC.

With FFXIII, we'll see the reverse.

I'm sure SE will do at least a decent job, I'm not saying otherwise...they won't half-ass development on the secondary console a la EA and Ubi with some early PS3 titles, and they won't outsource it a la Valve out of hatred for the secondary console.

We already saw the reverse with DMC4
