Interview: Final Fantasy XIII's Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama

Jun 3rd 2009 11:06PM (Joystiq)
The media cost is not the primary issue.

Microsoft requires almost 2GB of copy protection data on each 360 disc. Look it up. This is why developers like John Carmack at id have complained that size is an issue because there are increased costs when you don't even have a full DVD to work with.

This impacts coding a great deal. Not only do you have to go back and recode disc transitions, that's only step one. What if someone wants to go back to an area on the first disc? Ask the user to switch or does that data going or have to be duplicated on each disc. So you have even less to work with.
