I don't believe the content was edited out because of the Xbox 360 version, Square Enix probably just felt it didn't flow with the overall game well.

content was obviously cutoff.

I don't care either way, but I don't think ALL of the content was taken out because of the 360 version. Thats just ridiculous.

all of the stuff cuttoff wasn't because of 360 but FF13 could have been much bigger if only on PS3,u gotta admit that

Didn't MS pay to have this game on their system. If that's the case isn't part of the dev budget directly attributable to them.

Even if that's not the case, perhaps SE wouldn't have allowed such a big budget for the game if they were only selling to a ~30 million userbase rather than ~70 million userbase and the game might have been shorter than it currently is.

youknow the FF6 you all know & love

that had a whole world (espers world) taken out of it too

did you know FFX-2 was mostly a part of FFX originally?

this has happened to LOADS OF FF GAMES as lestatdark said, this is nothing new

Stop blaming xbox 360 for everything, its getting annoying

LOL, fail. All you've proved is that the Xbox 360 has been holding back Final Fantasy games at least as far back as FF6.

The funny thing about him is that he doesn't provide any source to support his (misguided) claims. ¬_¬

Im sure if sony had sold there console better then the game would have been an exclusive... the only reason its on the 360 is because sony failed!

IF they keep porting games and scaling them down for the 360 they are not going to be as good, so less people will buy them and the people who do most likely wont buy th e sequal when it comes out so w/ poor scales developers mght go back to being PS3 exclusive and shorted development times by only developing for one console.



I Hate the fact that all these pillows are contaminated by retard!!

we will soon know how much did FF13 benefit from 39m(taking sales expections of 360 till march) extra users compared to 34m(same till march).

 

PS3 version will easily sell more than 5-6m units on 34m userbse whereas 360 version will onlly sell about 1.5-2m on 39m userbase

I agree, its should have stayed exclusive. I find it very hard to believe that SE made "Enough extra content to make another game" and waited till they finished it all to decide they didnt need it. That just doesnt compute with me. I figure it goes more like, SE decided to go MP, to get the game on a reasonable amount of DVDs they decided to dump ALL non essential cities, enviornments and NPCs(cuz we now know FFXIII has none of these things) so it will fit perfectly.

It's hard to argue aganst. Most games are designed content wise to fit on a single dvd instead of a single blueray. Shorter and shorter games fill a dvd and the ps3 version ends up nuetered because of it. the stupid equal on bot platforms issue causes them to shrivel content and make shorter and shorter games.
