Final Fantasy XIII video-only at TGS

According to a schedule released by Square Enix, Final Fantasy XIII will be shown in video form only at the Tokyo Game Show this October. Disappointing news for those of us who'd like to know what - if anything - has changed since the colossal RPG pinned its colours to the multiplatform mast at E3.

You won't be able to get your hands on the still-PlayStation-3-exclusive Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Kingdom Hearts 3 or PSP spin-off Final Fantasy Agito XIII, either. Boo hiss. On the plus side, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and fangirl's wet dream Final Fantasy: Dissidia will be playable, and we'll treated to footage of the intriguing Parasite Eve sequel The Third Birthday.

With Square Enix rather vaguely gesturing towards a 2009 release date, we expect it'll be a while before we dig up any fresh info on the thirteenth Final Fantasy. Stop by the preview section for the news thus far.

    in a way in our minds it feels wrong that square enix has desided to make ff13 for xbox also, but ofcourse if you think about it in there prospective there also trying to find ways to make cash.. but in my opinion 1 good exclusive that falls lol

    im 1 huge fan of ff13 but when the e3 happend i was speakless lol

    Square are up to no good.  They are working on too many simultaneous titles and the constant changes in their strategy are worrying.  Especially considering the financial mess they've gotten themselves into over the years.  Thirteen doesn't seem to be lucky for their image at any rate.

    I don't think that this would effect most of us considering we won't be going TGS so we would have seen it through a video anyway.

    Parasite Eve deserves a proper sequal. not some crappy phone game. Parasite Eve 2 was an amazing game.

    anyone else see a funny parallel between sueenix and FFXIII with JP from grandma's boy? both jp and square produced excellent games in the past, but now like JP square is that awkward dork we all laugh at, and their new masterpiece we're not seeing much of, could it be because the game is tanking and they just dont want to piss us off (for a change) by admitting they suck. im typing with a PS3 so forgive me if i lost the point of my post somewhere in the middle

    I love the FF series, i admit i was shocked that FF13 was also going 2 xbox but im not gonna get pissed off @ something that i have no control over, im still gonna purchase FF13. KH3 has been underwraps 4 years, just because a few RPGs r heading 2 xbox we still have ownage over Microsoft, GOOD THINGS COME 2 THOSE WHO WAIT. OH yeah i forgot The Parasite Eve 1 & 2 needs to be made for the PS3

    13 will be great but i don't think this game will receive the same hype like it did 2 years ago y? because we had seen wat most multiplat games look like already compare to 1st party.

    If the KH3 for PS3 only rumour is true, then I will love Square again :) Regardless of the multi inncident, its going to be a great game so I'm still excited for it!

    yea i think everybody a bit over FF13 now i just cant wait till it comes out. i wonder if 360 FF box going to be one box with 5-10 cd's in it or like 5-10 cd cases package together.

    I highly doubt its going to be a large amount of discs. I mean, the game's probably only going to be like a 30-40, maybe 50 at the most, hour game and the Star Ocean Till The End of Time was a 100 hour game which was on a 2 disc (and a PS2 game). I think it'll probably be a 2-3 disc, maybe a 4 but I highly doubt SE will go that far. This is kinda the let down of it being multi because now they have to worry about how many discs it'll take for the 360 (heck, maybe it'll only take one. I bet the 360 fans will just lolololololol at us like crazy, I know I would). But on the other hand, the did say they were going to do the PS3 verison first but who knows what'll happen. Just hope its a great game :)
