Forums - Sony - Will final fantasy XIII versus become multiplat?

AdventWolf on 23 December 2009

Yeah I was gonna add that if versus sold well then possibly, but there is no way to tell so I left it at a "I don't think so".
There is a chance but I'm not so sure.

Nomura probably has a lot of influence on that decision, similar to Kojima with MGS. I don't think it will.

FFvXIII will be a PS3 exclusive atleast until the game goes gold. Square needs to avoid offending Nomura - afterall he is doing directing/character design for FFvXIII and KH:BBS, he working on (and possibly directing) the 2 unannounced SE games, he is doing character design work for FF agito XIII, and more!

This is without considering that SONY owns 11% of SE, which while not enough to control SE dose mean that SONY has some influence (not to mention that SONY has saved Square from going bankrupt twice...)


Sony own less than 11% of SE. It was 8 something % last time but with the Taito and Eidos merger that percent is now probably lower. But I really doubt that % was doing much for them to begin with...

I don't think it'll happen. Possible, but I'm gonna say no.

Ahh you are correct SONY holds(or held as of 31st March 09) 8.25% (or 9,520,000 shares), but still i think my position on FFvXIII remaining PS3 exclusive atleast until the game is gold will stand (and then as long as the PS3 version isn't delayed, i wouldn't mind if SE ported the game to 360)

No. "PS3 only world wide" - Tetsuya Nomura

i don't really care, but i'd love to see the reactions of angry sony fanboys.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

Sony and Square Enix have already confirmed that it was ps3 only.
*looks back at E3 08*

Like when they confirmed that FFXIII was PS3 exclusive and then it went multiplat a year later?

Um...Ya, that was the intent of the joke...

*goes to another forum*

I thought Square bought those companies?

Often times, even when companies are bought.  It is paid for by the issueing of stock at least in part.

 

Regardless, the real reason Sony has no imput is because a good 40-60% of SE's stock is owned by one guy.  The former boss of Enix.  Since at the time of the merger Enix was the more successful and profitable company.

They did, which should probably mean stake % is lower for Sony now since more companies are involved.

Hmm really? Would have thought that since they bought the company and didnt merge it wouldnt affect the shares any holders had.

Thanks for that. Didn't know that.
