I was a while ago but not anymore, the more that's revealed about FFXIII the less I wanna play it now, looks like nothing compared to previous FF titles.
When it was announced on both consoles it made me sad. Not because 360 would get it but because PS3 would be affected. Lets hope that FFVS13 stays exclusive. The PS3 version was almost done when they started on 360 so I hope its not affected by it to much.
The second way the Xbox 360 will affect the gameplay of the PS3 version of the game, is the pacing. When Final Fantasy moved to PlayStation 2, it only ever appeared on 1 DVD. This meant that unlike previous iterations on the original PlayStation, every area within the game could technically be open at any time. In previous games, some areas appeared on some discs, and were closed off in others. The same can even be said for games such as Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360, due to the space constraints of the DVD, the majority of side-quests appeared on the final disc. Final Fantasy XIII will be affected in the same way.Crazy Fanboyish PS3 Site
This is triple-A grade BS. They have no statements from the developerssaying this, they're just pulling stuff out of their asses. Does Lost Odyssey really have most of the sidequests on the last disc because of space limitations? Or is because - just maybe - every JRPG ever made saves the sidequests until after you've pounded through most of the plot and only have the final boss left?
As for the Japanese dialogue, none of the previous Final Fantasy games included it as an option - none. I'm not too torn that they're not including something they've never given us before.
they are assuming that sidequests will be shuffled around simply because SE kept everything on one disc in its ps2 final fantasies. it seems a stretch to me. if they have to split the 360 version up into 2 discs, then they will. is a huge franchise and they can afford to do so. i am a little bothered that the 360 version is delaying the release of the ps3 version though. but it wont be too bad if ffxiii is released outside of the holiday season where so many games always cram the store shelves.
Yes, I am. FF13 should never have gone to 360. The graphics have gotten worse, the Japanese audio track probably won't be in either version, the PS3 version will be just as compressed as the 360 one, and many more things I am sure are being compromised. Many PS3 owners bought a PS3 for FF13. The stupidest part is that Square is choosing to make these compromises so that 360 and PS3 users have 'the same experience'. That is BS. That's like not allowing a PC version of a game to look any better than its console counterpart. Makes no sense.
I'm liking the elitism bull spat by those on this thread that see nothing but godly things about the 360 getting the game. I think I'll kill the thread now and just say this: If you can't see contradiction in Enix logic as well as see that in some way or not, the PS3 version has been affected, then I hope you enjoy it up there in elitism land where: "Sharing games with other consoles = who cares about the cons." Look at the other side for once instead of having one narrow-minded perspective peeps.
I am all for shareing as long as it does not affect mine. And like others have posted its not so much it has affected it because its small to say the least but the SE PR people said it would not. I wish they would just own up to it but they won't.

But what's the point of focusing on that part of it? You'll just make yourself miserable, and either you won't buy FFXIII at all or you'll buy it and sulk the whole way through, trying to figure out every single little piece that 'might' have been impacted by the 360 port. By the time you get that focused on minutae, it's akin to playing Batman AA and constantly moaning about the PS3's lack of antialiasing, or Grand Theft Auto 4's lower display resolution.

What is the point of owning multiple consoles if they all have the same games that all run exactly the same? The PS3 has its strengths and the 360 has its strengths. It's just frustrating because Microsoft has screwed over the PS3 countless times, and one of Son'y biggest trump cards was not only stolen by MS but dumbed down. It makes no sense. 360 owners can have their FF13. But the PS3 version should be better because it was originally supposed to look a lot better, and in fact, the earlier PS3 only screens did look better.

Believe me, I'll buy FFXIII, without thinking on how much better it could've been exclusively for the PS3. My main gripes were never graphics. Or that compression thingy someone mentioned. It was the fact I've been lied to, the delay, and the fact there's no chance to have a sub because it wouldn't be "fair" to Box owners. The dub sounds borderline annoying to my ears compared to the sub, so yes, I'm annoyed at that. But more importantly, people are expecting me to swallow blatant crap from the company. And the moment Enix "assured" everyone that the PS3 wouldn't be affected, they contradicted themselves and forever landed on my scorn list.

That's fair enough - I've certainly got grudges against companies because of things they've done or said, however minor (Bungie and Activision come to mind). I do recall recent developer interviews stating that the versions are not identical, graphics, but tweaked to scale better to their individual GPUs. Whether that means one will look better than the other, I have no idea, but I'll probably just get the PS3 version as it seems weird to play a disc-based Final Fantasy game on anything other than a Sony system.
hell yeah I'm mad. because it's multiplatform? no don't care about that. I'm pissed because Square have just been d-bags this whole gen. First they say they won't compromise either system, now the PS3 version isn't getting features to be "fair" to the 360? since when were Square Enix fair? Where's my Square JRPG on the PS3? How is it "fair" that they don't have a single decent square developed game on the PS3? /rant
I was at first but i personally dont care anymore...im still waiting to hear the "Not gonna happen" news about FFXIII being canceled on 360 and exclusively to the PS3 and you her Yoshinori Kitase say "I had a tltle with Sony and we are willing to keep it...Its been years now since we have been good buisness partners threw these past generations with Sony and We believe now isn't the time to change that." that would make me feel soo good...that would rock Sony PS3 but im saying like Versus would fix that either way

I don't care too much that it has gone towards the 360. It made me a bit iffy but it is understandable when a lot of the players in the U.S. are both 360 and PS3 players. (not saying there isn't a lot of Wii players either... but when it comes to graphics...)
