Useless.

Is this really surprising? Every Final Fantasy since 7 has been mostly movies.

a whole WORLD was cut out of FF6

FFX-2 most of it was meant to be a part of FFX originally

{see gametrailers retrospectives & articles on this online}

Stop trashing xbox 360

this isn't the FIRST TIME things have been cut out of FF

stop pretending it is

I can bet you money that more could have been done if ps3 and blu ray were all they had to work with, for example, ample the ingame rendering quality using the extra power of the PS3, therefore reducing the amount of pre-rendered assets and use more of the space for extra ingame assests and contents. It could have been a bigger game, not as linear, and with higher quality visuals overall, but they didn't go that route, which is fine, they want money, and they need it big time, the end justifies the means, job is done.

yes a 60 hour game with 9 hours of cut scenes is a movie!

GO STAGE!

more like an epic...

I don't know if S-E left content out of the game because of X360 but I really don't see how this debunks that assumption. Game content (whole FF map) is still 6.8gb (limit of X360 Dual-Layer DVD) and If I am correct every disc contains whole FF world. With compression they obviously take couple gigs away but still we have something like 4gb data to be repeated on every disc so there is about 3gigs of space to fill with compressed cutscenes. S-E's target was 3 DVD's so maybe they left some content out that they thought was unworthy or maybe they didn't. This is just speculation as long as S-E says something about the matter and probably they won't.

its the love

that's what I thought when this thread opened up...

For $60 we get 3-4 full length feature films as well as a game that is longer than most released this generation.

I would say that is a damn good value.
