Present "Final Fantasy 13," the specific circumstances of the development of open, from the original PS2 version later decided to go to PS3 development, of which up to four years of time, but the real production platform in the PS3 is only a two-year period of time , which also include the development of engine time, that is in the design process, system, etc. SE did not spend a lot of effort. 这让的开发所拿出的成品也是备受玩家质疑，的确略显诚意不足。 This allows the development of the players come up with the finished product is highly questioned, indeed slightly less than good faith.

同时360版的开发移植时间更短仅需要1年的时间，这也从一个侧面反映两者在引擎上的确开发难易度不同。 360 version of the same time, the development of a shorter transplant requires only a year's time, it reflects from one side of the engine, indeed the development of both in varying degrees of difficulty.

I don't know if this is true I thought i just post it up.

Yeah, but what's the proof? Just seems like a Chinese gossip/news site to me.

it is true.FF13 was under development as a PS2 title in the begining but it was cancelled when the new gen was announced by Sony and became a PS3 title

yes, they said it was almost done when they changed to the ps3 but i don't know if i believe it.

a chinese site???

I dont believe it fully, SE did start FFXIII on PS2 but how much of it was actually completely is the question, though it possibly could of been the engine that took soo long then... port the PS2 assets over and wrork from there....but Idk

Selective development period. Something probably did take 2 years. Though I would still bet starting from the design process and investment costs(even a cancelled project costs money) it still too a LONG time and a large budget.

If that's the case I'd say they should have just released on the ps2 and be done with.

Sounds like bullshit. It was announced in 2006, that would mean they put together a trailer and then sat on their asses for a year doing nothing.
