You know on FF games you're going to have to back track for certain things. That'd be f-ed up if you have to swap just for certain things.

Thats the only real thing be-sides voice acting that really pissed me off about SO4, i hated going back for more stuff and having to change the disc for every 2 planets, was a hassle.

Cant an install to the HDD fix that issue?

Guess i don't understand why some people think the game will be linear or why backtracking will require disk swapping.

Did FF7, 8, or 9 require disk swapping when back tracking or were they linear games? Didnt think so.



Had to change my sig to get some moderator to quit bitching about it......

 

And to people saying that the 360 is holding the PS3 back because of the whole Jap, Language option. Please tell me which Final Fantasy actually has an option like that? FF's have top notch VAs for its games and I wouldn't blame square if they thought the Dub should be good enough for everyone else. Especially since I think the English VA is better than the Japanese one this time around

wait they said that it would have around 50-60 hours of gameplay and it would be on three discs? I mean Metroid Trilogy has 80 hours of gameplay so then why is trilogy on only one disc and FF on three discs when FF actualy has less hours of gameplay then Trilogy...I am sorry if this is a stupid question....

ps3 owners dont have anything to gripe about, only 1 disc, no going back and forth and changing them, not having 2 lang has nothing to do with bluray,  dumb asses

Well, all of the Prime games's cutscenes are done in-game, so there's no memory-hogging CGI cinematic sequences that take up the bulk of the space.

Plus, Prime 1 & 2 were GC games and were designed for the GC's disks which held 1.5 GB max, and Prime 3 was just about the same as the others length-wise... so if the size of each Prime game is <1.5GB on average, and the Wii utilizes standard DVDs which hold 4.7GB... even if the first 2 games maximized the GC disks (which they didn't come anywhere near to), the absolute most you're looking at is 4.5 GB, which is a perfect fit on a standard DVD.

FFXIII on the other hand will contain hours of CGI cutscenes that basically stream off the disc just like a movie does, and they require a massive ammount of memory.  Since it's being designed primarily for the PS3's Blu-Ray discs which hold much more than the 360's dual layered DVDs, they'll have to be broken up into separate discs for the 360 version.

Hope that clears things up for you.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
