Final Fantasy XIII: 360 development starting after PS3 version

I guess we won't be playing this game anytime soon. Could be a good thing though. So many other games....

Aren't all games developed on the PC originally? : 0

More RPG's on 360?
O Noes...

"Final Fantasy XIII is currently being developed using Square Enix's "Crystal Tools" technology with the PC as base platform."

I wish for PC version then :D

"Once localization is underway, Square will begin development of the Xbox 360 version, with the aim of releasing it in America (with no meaningful content changes) alongside the localized PlayStation 3 version."

they are releasing it together with the Ps3 U.S. version, I think the title is misleading that they won't appear at the same time.

dont worry sony fanboys we all know that at sony conference square will give you FF7 remake so no more QQ please?

I realize I'm likely in the minority here--but I'm not a fan of the series. It seems too linear for what I would call an RPG. I feel that, with FF games, you're just playing to get to the next cutscene. I also feel that all the men are dressed in drag.

so not only does sony lose it's exclusivity but we have to wait for these douchebags to finish the port before we can even play.

boy i tell you the gaming industry isnt what it used to be 3+ years ago. wii saturating the market with Crap. the psp being exploited. microsoft throwing money around like no tomorrow. IMO i dont see it getting better. it has turned more into $$$$ and less about quality games.

M$ buys Playstation brand from sony.
M$ buys out Nintendo.

may be a long shot but think about what they have done in such a short period of time. they have robbed PS out of every exclusive. there is hardly anything left.

On noes! The beast has been unleashed!

Thank you Microsoft for keeping this game out of the hands of the western hemisphere for another 2 years. Regardless of the console politics.. waiting another 2 years or more.. that is what hurts the most...

We'll have to see this game completed and shipped in japan for god knows how long before we'll get our hands on the game. North America alone probably has a 12 month localization/Xbox port to look forward too now.. and I really feel sorry for Europe.

If you like Square Enix before then you should continue liking them. If ya'll are true FFXIII fans then which system it's on shouldn't matter. Square Enix did what a real human being does when they are offered tons of money and took it ya'll PS3fanboys out there need to stop acting like you wouldn't do the same thing.

Stop acting like Sony doesn't buy exclusives cause they do just like MS frankly they are a JP MS or the other way around MS is just taking plays out of Sony's play book.

The 360 version will not be a crappy port because it is made by Square Enix and they always put dedication into there work so it won't be some Lazy, port with framerate issues It will be just as good as the PS3 version(I also base this off the fact that its known that PC to 360 is easier than PC to PS3) and also its not PS3 code being ported to 360 which I believe is why we get crappy ports its PC code to 360 so it will be a very good port.

I'm gonna buy mines for the PS3 because it Is being developed on the PS3 first and frankly means it should be a good experience hopefully Square Enix doesn't get the idea of giving the 360 extra content.

The PC bit as the lead platform sounded odd in context, and made more sense by replacing PC with PS3. Is that the case?

Anyone wanna take bets as to when MGS4 ships on 360?

I'm absolutly fine with FFXIII coming to 360 but I just hope that they don't downgrade the PS3 version to make it the same as the 360 because FFXIII is meant to be running on the same disc that they used for MGS4. Those discs arn't compatible with the 360 I don't think so I hope they don't make the PS3 version bad just to put it on the 360. They shouldn't anyway, not after the videos they've shown of XIII.

i'd advise you to read it again if you didn't get what they meant, for all those users that make shit speculations. 1 they finish the game in japan on the PS3, 2 they localize it in EU and US (in other words plan a release) then 3 port it over to the Xbox360. which seems fair since they are doing the basic same theme with the last remnant. Also since the game has been in progression with the PS3 already.

sorry to sound nasty it's not my thing. just that people think that the games quality will be degraded from the port over to the xbox360, and i get worked up over weither the game is going to take longer to make and release.
