"Final Fantasy XIII" without mentioning the 360 should appease PS3 fanboys...for now.

Save... Nobody mention the 360 at E3 when discussing Assassin's Creed either. Obviously, they are still working out exclusivity - or lack of - of FF13. I would doubt that they would release the 360 version like this.
I would expect the news - if it happens of course - to come out during a Microsoft press conference and not a Square Enix one.

oh man, Square Enix sure knows how to suck my wallet dry. I have Advent Children, but the thought of having it on Blu-Ray in 1080p is just too much. (As in, I'm going to get this the first day it comes out:P)

Advent Children on Blu Ray!
sheppy @ Mar 26th 2007 3:52PM
Meanwhile, where is my stateside release of It's A Wonderful World at?!?
Baby21 @ Mar 26th 2007 3:56PM
Well, I don't think 360 verison will get for Japanese verison at all. But maybe it is possible for English version in later release.
I feel there won't be one, but maybe new FF online for 360 as well?

w00t Advent Children on Blu Ray, Crisis Core and FFXIII! Hopefully release dates all around and *please* keep FFXIII exclusive. If the PS3 dies (still WAY too early to tell, really. Talk to me in three years)and MS doesn't have any competition for the next generation of consoles, no good can come of that in the end.

"please* keep FFXIII exclusive"
Why? If you had a 360 you wouldn't say that. Sony is a greedy ass Japanese company and MS is a greedy ass American company, but at least MS is catering to the fanbase with exclusives.
Go ahead and stay loyal to your company. Sooner or later your will realize the 360 is bliss.

@Jack, wow... reading comprehension FTL...
Hiroken: Please keep FFXIII PS3 exclusive. It needs it to survive and provide competition for 360!
Jack: Umm, why should it stay exclusive? 360 is bliss, lawl....!
Hiroken: Umm, to provide competition... I just said that...
Jack: ONE CONSOLE TO RULE THEM ALL!

1. I'm at work... no drugs (unless you count caffeine)
2. I'm this fucked up naturally... imagine me on drugs. Countries FEAR that scenario! Fox News regularly runs reports on what would happen should sheppy drop acid. Women and children flee from such events. Mass panicks and people rising from the dead. You best hope your ass is in on the Rapture because you sure as hell don't want to be stuck down here... with me... on drugs.
3. That's the best you can do for clever? C'mon, man! You gotta up your game.

Jack: try harder.

Re: FFXIII exclusivity
I have a PS3, but I'd much rather play FFXIII on the 360, as with any other game. It's just more fun to game on the 360 in my opinion.
If Microsoft were smart, they would con SE into giving remakes of FFVII - FFXII to the 360. That way both consoles would have those games available (PS3 would have BC for them), and they could make decent money with merely upgrading the graphics. You know people would buy them.
ANYWAY,
That's a hell of a lot of Final Fantasy. I can't wait for Crisis Core and XIII. X2, XI, XII, and Dirge were crap...so I'm looking for the series to be redeemed! Damn that stuff for not being available to all.

Yeah but what about the upcoming projects for Kingdom Hearts there bound to mention or annouce what they are planning to do at the party!
Viet @ Mar 26th 2007 7:38PM
Lots of Final Fantasy. Can't wait for FFXIII for the PS3!
RoboJoel @ Mar 26th 2007 10:24PM
So... where the hell is Dragon Quest IX?
sheppy @ Mar 26th 2007 11:00PM
"Yeah but what about the upcoming projects for Kingdom Hearts there bound to mention or annouce what they are planning to do at the party!"
Nomuro has stated constantly that, until FFXII Versus is finished, he's not going to start work on the next Kingdom Hearts game.

I have a 360 and not a PS3, so I'm biased, but:
I think it's in Square's best interest to push FFXIII to as many consoles as possible -- it should hit the Wii too, if they can "turn down the sliders" on the graphics enough -- because it's their flagship brand, and that's that. They live or die by fanboy perception of FF, and for each Wii-only or 360-only kid who can't afford to buy every console that comes down the pike, they've lost not just a sale, but a heart. They might lose 50-60 bucks on the game that doesn't get bought, but they might lose a further $100+ in t-shirts, books, action figures, etc. that the kid doesn't get because he couldn't play the game. And that's bad business.
So, uh, don't make me buy a PS3, Square. Please!
