I wouldn't hold your breathe, and unfortunately, neither am I.  After this announcement, I have resigned myself that this game won't make it out of Japan before 2010, which is just to far ahead to be looking since we have known about this game for a couple years now.

My guess is they will not compress things to much, people didn't freak out much about Lost Odessey being on multiple discs (just how the discs were packaged, atleast in America) and they will just put it on 3 discs, for the 3 FF13 games.

Here you go sparkie

" but Square was quick to point out that you can't say this will cause a delay of the PS3 release in America"

I know, I was using the massive drops as examples of what they are trying to do. Plus at least my 3 disc prediction is much nicer then 4+ discs.

This is what you said:

• Square Enix is currently investigating how to compress the audio and cutscenes found in the PS3 version of Final Fantasy 13 so that it will fit on a reasonable number of DVD's for the 360 version. They also acknowledge that this will add to the delay for release in the west.

This is what they said:

• The first question on the floor was one to clarify how, if at all, the Xbox 360 release would affect the PS3 version. The short answer is that it won't. Final Fantasy XIII is being developed first for the PS3 in Japan, a region that won't see an Xbox 360 release. The Xbox 360 iteration is a port of the PS3 build, but Square was quick to point out that you can't say this will cause a delay of the PS3 release in America. Separate teams are working on the two versions and both are moving along on schedule. There shouldn't be a delay in any releases.

1. "Can't say" is diferent than "will add to the delay"
2. They are talking about porting in general, you are blaming discs.
3. You left out the next three sentences.

4. The last sentence of the square comment.

What? There's no need to apologize. Thanks to those of us who use sarcasm a lot on VGC, people are more used to those kinds of posts. There's nothing wrong with poking a little fun.

it will take longer, not much longer, but thats a announce a delay to west gamers.

 Actually im not counting the game until 2010 but im hopeing and u must be a little positive.

You're right it won't cause a delay... In Japan.

Me I actually agree with you, that it will be delayed.  But I didn't start lying and making up stuff.  I state my opinions as my opinions, not as statements that other people didn't make.

@Leetgeek, that 2nd video is hilaarious. OT: i think 5 dvds would be enough w/o compressing audio and cut-scenes. with compression, I say 3 maybe 4
