Square Enix has told VG247 that the 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will ship on three DVDs in March.

The news comes after it was US retailer Gamefly listed the RPG at three discs overnight.

“Yes the game is on three DVDs for the 360,” a Square rep told us.It was also confirmed to us that you’re not going to be doing too much ejecting during play.

“Players will only have to swap discs twice during their entire game,” said the rep.Last year at gamescom, producer Yoshinori Kitase told VG247 Square was “aiming” to get keep the magic number at three.

The title was announced for 360 by the president of Square Yoichi Wada in July 2008 at E3.Final Fantasy XIII will release in the west for PS3 and 360 on March 9.

good to know360 owners only have to swap twice.

it was never confirmed.Square enix earlier said that they were trying to put 360 version on 3 discs but never confirmed it.

So long as they employ thought into the process of multiple discs aka Mass Effect 2 it should not be a problem.

Great news. Was hoping for 4 or 5 though. Just for the different artworks on all the discs.

Still sucks, If they left all content that was dropped , it would be on 6 discs

If they left all content in FF7 it would have been 6 discs. If all content was left in FF10 it would have been 2 discs. It happens with every FF game.

Every game has content cut from it. Not something new.

I think I read somewhere that FF X and X-2 was originally all going to be one game.

You've read right, Kitase himself told it when X-2 was revealed.

I still don't get the cut content complaints, every FF has them, even FF6 had it, and it was a massive cut (one entire world + tons of espers and items left out).

This is very old news I knew about this already three month ago. So yeah this news is so 2009.
