I hope everyone who was going is still going to bu FFXIII !!

[Dave-The-Rave]

All you PS3 fanboys can just STFU !!

I knew if this ever went multiplatform you all would ditch it in a heartbeat...I stand by my guns as a FINAL FANTASY FANBOY this game and this trailer look PHENOMENAL !!

There is NO denying that and if you try it shows how bad you truely are. I think everyone who was going to buy this game before the 360 anouncement SHOULD STILL BUY IT.

Show Square Enix how much better the game sells on our platform !! Which is inevitable given the trend of 360 RPGS !!

I hate people that ditch games they were excited about just because something like this happens !! It is STILL BEING DEVELOPED ON THE PS3 SO IT WON'T BE A GIMPED PORT EITHER !!!!

Its funny how A LOT of people's oppinions have chanaged about a game that looks as good as ever just because of one announcement!

I admit I was furious when I first heard it..then I remember that I am a Final Fantasy fan, at the end of the day the game isn't exclusive to the 360..I still get to play it, its still getting developed on the PS3 and not using the Unreal Engine (Meaning no gimped port ). In fact the only thing that changes is that 360 owners get to play it too..and chances are that version will be delayed so it'll likely end up a timed exclusive anyway !!

I mean announcements like this don't automatically stop a game from being good and I'm sure a lot of you wouldn't have bought MGS4 for the exact same reason if some like this happened to it too even though we all know how great that game is !!

I am a final fantasy fanboy all the way since FF3 and i can tell you something, this is a blow to the SE brand name and Sony. SE has truly omitted their Brand loyalty by this move, i mean i agree you have to make money somehow but isnt the Last Renmant going to the 360, that should have been enough for them to to try out how their sales work on the 360.

The game is going to be gimped, you know why? sure it would probably still come to the ps3 in a BR and to the 360 in multiple game discs but now they wont be able to utilize the full power of the cell processor, when ever have you seen multiple enemies on a screen like RFOM that utilized the cell processor on a 360 game? never hence why they wont be able to utilize the cell processor the way they wanted because they dont want to do that to the 360. The game could still be good and it looks great however it wont be pushing the PS3 to its limits due to 360's limited power, we could argue all day about which systems is stronger but at the end of it all, i hold my ground with the ps3, and i still think the game is going to be a lower grade ( not bad) due to its multiplatform status.

[Dave-The-Rave]

I don't really care if it pushes the PS3 to its full potential..at the end of the day it is still a Final Fantasy game as long as it look somewhat what it looks like now and the story is good then I'll be happy.

[Zabuza]

I'm still buying it and even though I already own a 360 I'm still planning on buying a ps3 just to play the ps3 version.

well to each their own, regardless i think i am still going to buy the game, but im just really upset as the next guy. From each FF game i expected something new , something better from the system it was being developed for, FF7 was one of the first 3D rendering games which pushed the ps1, then there was ff8 look at the jump from each game all the way till FF12, i am upset that they arent going to be able to push the ps3 since thats what i expected from SE.

[Epic.Failz]

Now that I no longer care about square (they are the ea of japan now), I am going to be honest: There hasn't been a good ff since ps1. ffx was laughable, ffx-2 was the worst, ff11 was a crappy mmo, and ff12 had a bad battle system/story. Square is going to have to do some amazing to get me to buy a multi-plat ff13. Otherwise I'll pirate it on my bros 360 just to spite them.

SE has truly omitted their Brand loyalty by this move

What brand loyalty? SE has never, not once, not ever, at any time, on any topic, been "loyal". Their company existed because of Nintendo, but when they thought they could sell more FF7 on the PS1 than on the N64, FF7 (and 8, and 9) came out on the PS1. And FF7 even came out on the PC...

Where does this nonsense about brand loyalty come from? Not from anything Square ever said or did, that's for sure.

[Fenix]

Im the biggest Final Fantasy fanboy I know (In real life), if it was a xbox 360 exclusive i'd try my damn hardest to buy the xbox 360 just for it.

[ChildOfIllusions]

Regardless of it not being a gimped port you are still going to get people from the " But are things going to be left out because of the size difference camp?" people will still find something to ***** about Dave you should know that by now. I personally don't care for the FF series it never really appealed to me, I was only slightly curious in VS i see SE failing epically for me once we get some new news on KH3 future.

[FdMstng99]

I'm still going to buy it no matter what. I need my RPG and Final Fantasy fix.

I think a lot of people were introduced to gaming with the PS1 and have always followed some series from PS1 despite the fact many Sony franchises did not first appear on a Sony console at all. People associate MGS with Sony, it started out on MSX, Square used to be tight with Nintendo, GTA on PC which also made appearances on Dreamcast etc. I think it's brand name association with what people played the series on in the past less.

Sony has always drummed up exclusives by default because of the install base, this is the first gen they haven't wiped the floor with the competition so it's the first time developers have looked at bringing their franchises to other consoles; something I suspect a lot of gamers here are very much not familiar with.

[Super_Lilith]

Its a shame so many people feel turned off now and switch their stance just because FF13 is coming to 360.

I keep hearing all this rubbish about "quality drop", "half hearted port" and i'm thinking what are these people on? HELLO!!! This is Square-Enix they are a big budget studio renowned for making great quality RPGs, not half effort rubbish which so many here now think just because of this announcement.

These screenshots and videos that we have all been amazed over have not suddenly gone worse because of this announcement, i'm still looking forward to this game more then ever.

[HellsJester]

I was slightly interested but very skeptical because Square hasnt made anything i liked since FF9 on PS1.
Multiplatformism kills all the little interest i had so nope not getting it.

It is a bit of a shame you have already decided so early you are not going to get it, while the game is so far from release and you have not even had a chance to try it.

I dont know if you have seen my posts but i hate multiplatformism.
For me not bad that it went to 360 its bad because its multiplatform.
I said this about DMC4 and im gonna say this about FF13.
I rather see FF13 exclusive to 360 than it be multiplatform that way at least 1 console gets taken advantage of even though its not my console of choice.

It shouldn't be about a game taking advantage of this or that, or multiplatform or anything else, what it should come down to is playing the game for the sake of it being a good entertaining game.

I just don't see the logic of how someone can just ignore a game and write it off because it is multiplatform. A good game will still be good regardless.

The logic is if it is on 1 console they can focus everything on that 1 and dont have to worry about getting both versions ready and looking the same. I want my games the best they can be and exclusive is the way to do it.

[1lyi1]

The more PS3 owners who buy, the more likely SE will be to give us more games.

I don't understand why you are treating games like they are diamonds that have to be absolutely spot on and done a certain way, games are entertainment and as long as they are fun good quality games, why would you not play them? What other reason would you be playing games for if not for enjoyment and entertainment? exclusivity is not a prerequisite for this

Most of the time multiplatform games are not exactly the same, and being exclusive does not mean it is the absolute best it can be (Haze) while being multiplatform may not be the limiting factor (Call of Duty 4).

As I say, its a shame you are willing to discriminate and disregard games which could potentially be very good, just because of the number of systems they are released on. Whatever happened to playing a game just because it was enjoyable?

Its just the way i am when i play a multiplatform game i have less fun and all i can think about is what could have been and i know "tough thats your problem" yes i know its my problem but thats how i play so say what you want and i will say what i want.

Its not "tough thats your problem" though, its about back to grassroots and playing a game for what it is and its own merits, rather then involve all the gaming politics that is OUTSIDE of the game and nothing to do with the actual playing of it.

I understand what you are trying to say but thats not how i do things you may think im missing out but i dont think so and as long as im having a fun time doing what im doing i dont think it matters how i choose a game.
Thank you for caring about my entertainment value though.

lol cool, I just think its a shame when people miss out on great games - particularly a potential blockbuster like FFXIII, but you have your own ways so it doesn't matter.

Well i hated 10, 11, and 12 and everything else Square put out on PS2 so i dont think i would have liked it even if it was an exclusive.

That doesn't sound healthy. Furthermore, how do you know "what could have been" would be any different?

Seriously, you play a game, you think it's good. Then it turns out someone releases it on another platform, and suddenly it's retroactively bad?

Your call how you want to approach things, but if I found my brain being inconsistent like that, I'd work on it, 'cuz I'd rather react to the world as it is, not the world as someone could have speculated it might have been.
