Ah, the Square Enix Mega Theater. It's always something to look forward to at every TGS. We took the time to check out the theater and see what's cooking behind those big, black walls. Square Enix showed off trailers for nine games and a film in the Mega Theater, including two PS3 titles, the Advent Children Complete movie, and four PSP titles. Grab the full scoop on each title in our Square Enix Closed Theater impressions.

Actually FFXIII is coming out for BOTH the 360 and the ps3....

Might want to edit that little error in that slide show.

I'll be interested to see which console version gets the most DLC goodies [not to mention which one performs/looks the best of the two].

That should matter why? We all know it. Besides, did you forget that these are made and written by JOYSTIQ!?

I know it will shock all the arrogant sony fanboys but I fully expect the game to look better on the ps3. I'll be surprised (pleasantly so that is) if both versions look identical.

But the truth of the matter is that this game was a ps3 exclusive for a while and the game was tailored to the strengths of the ps3 which are there but require A LOT of effort and way too much time and money to actually be worth the price.

Frankly I'm just glad the damn game will be coming to the 360. I would have loved to get Versus as well but as it is Versus is a sidebar game IMO and the main title is the most important one.

Besides if sales for the main one are great who's to say that Versus won't be ported later on?

I've said time and time again that this game and God of War 3 are the only must haves for the ps3 in my book.

And God of War 3 while tempting to me as a fan of Greek mythology and Greek history/culture isn't enough to make me put down whatever the price of a ps3 is these days...

The game is still a PS3 exclusive in Japan. Please read carefully. Thanks.

Yes but your article and the slideshow doesn't specify whether you're talking about the game in Japan only or if you're talking about all those games worldwide.

However I'll admit that since you're at the TGS you may only be considering how those games will be released in that region.

And here I thought them putting this coverage in TOKYO game show coverage with JAPANESE dates and such and the fact that SquareEnix absolutely refuses to talk about FFXIII on 360 to Japanese press, consumers, and retailers, would make the whole "FFXIII is PS3 exclusive" pretty obvious.

But no, some people HAVE to bitch. "How dare SE mislead the Japanese people by talking about this game on the only console the Japanese people can play it on..."
