My only input is this:

Every day this game is not announced, chances for a Wii exclusive improve.

Every day the game is not announced, chances for it even releasing in this generation diminish.

 

Which in of itself increases the chance of it being a Wii exclusive... Wii games take less time to make right?

Seems like a Wii or next generation type game.

 

It depends, the FFXIIIv engine could be used to make the game. But in any case if its not started before the middle of 2009 it probably won't make it out this generation what-ever platform its meant to come on.

 

 

Isn't the Versus engine the Crystal Tools? That's on the Wii too.

Good point!

The HD console userbase is old so really its probably going to go on the Wii and the HD consoles if they are lucky but thats barring a money-hat from Microsoft which isn't entirely out of the question.

 



Tease.

@Soriku, Sure...

I consider moneyhatting to be: Cheap loans, testing, marketing support etc, free royalties etc.



Tease.

Well, here's what I think:

SE just targets demographics.

The PS3 is more of the core FF fan fanbase so the FF XIII games are on it. Same with the PSP with Agito, Crisis Core, etc. The PSP is also more single player based so it got BBS.

The DS is more of the classic and new IP type fanbase. It got classic FF remakes like 3 and 4 and also new IPs like TWEWY, Sigma Harmonics, etc. It's also more multiplayer based hence 358/2 Days being on it. And FFCC.

The 360 is unknown to them so they just made new IPs instead of putting a big main series title on it as an exclusive. FF XIII is only on the 360 for mor money/fanbase. SO4 is on the 360 but that's not a big series and the only reason it's not on the PS3 is because they didn't have PS3 toolkits and instead had the 360s. SO4 isn't on the Wii because it started a long time ago where the Wii was thought to be doomed. No moneyhats whatsoever, just pure demographic and testing.

Now, for the Wii it's getting DQ X because of its big Japanese fanbase. It's also getting some series like FFCC and Chocobo. Chocobo is more of the casualish/light hearted type game from SE. FFCC...well, it's a Nintendo only series, that means the Wii should get some as well. Anyway, I believe the Wii fanbase is more inline with the Disney/light-heartedness/KH crowd so KH3 seems like a no brainer.

 

So SO4 started development before FF13?



Squilliam on 04 January 2009

That makes sense...

I do consider the HD twins userbase to be old, so really it does follow that KH3 be made on the Wii. If you see the demographics I believe when some Wii fanboy was asserting that the HD consoles userbase was teens and tweens, the data that disproved him is also a pretty good indication about where KH3 is eventually heading.



Tease.

They should use FFXIII engine, so... PS3 and 360. Or maybe an exclusive for one of this two systems if there's some kind of agreement with either Sony or Microsoft.



Play my LittleBigPlanet level: Mystic Runner. Thanks!

Nothing will give me more pleasure than to see Sora's chains moves realisticly in realtime, 1080p, 60fps all while looking like the greatest Pixar movie you'll ever see

 

 I got this far into your post and fell of my chair laughing.

 

What about sex?

 

OT: Wii

Maybe my joke thread was a little too subtle?

... Nah, that's not possible.

The Wii has a better suited age demographic, and is the best place for KH's to sell in Japan (Albeit that might not be so definite after two Final Fantasies hit the PS3, and it's cheaper etc).

On the other hand I'm not sure the Wii's demographic really suits a hardcore RPG type game like Kingdom Heart's, unless they change gameplay suitably. I'm not even sure what the Kingdom Heart's demographic is, lots of kids play it probably because of the Disney characters but Disney's characters arn't just popular among kids, that's why their so successful. I'd imagine the larger part of the fanbase is the Final Fantasy fanbase, which follows it should be on PS360... right?

If we're being honest I think there is really good reasons for it to be on either PS360 or Wii (but imo, not both), which comes back to my idea that it's going to depend on FFXIII's success.

I agree with this.
