I know it's not reasonable because of the white engine DESIGNED for the PS3 but this guy says that the white engine is also made for open-plat. Also, the creator of FF WANTS it to go to 360 because MS has been paying him gold to create mistwalker. If FF13 or FF14 goes to the 360 as multiplat to boost sales, i'm scared that Sony is going to lose a lot of fans. On top of that, this guy despises Sony's PS3 so i doubt we will be seeing anymore projects from him on the PS3. I'm scared.

btw, anyone else thought he kinda sounded like a tool shouting marketing paroles? I mean, maybe he was all joking or he really means it, but the remark how he doesn't like the PS3's architecture raised an eyebrow or two. Afaik, he's a director, not a programmer, so what would he know about the architecture?

That's what I was thinking the entire time I read the article. He had some replies, and just interjected at some weird places comments that were agianst the PS3, and a little agianst the Wii.

He knows about the architecture. I'm sure he was a programmer before he was a director. He's not the first developer/director to say the PS3 architecture was faulty.

in the third paragraph it says the white engine will be used for most exclusive PS3 games. but anyways, he did seem kinda biased in hte interview, i now  get the feeling that he was really mad at square for demoting him after FF:TSW, but they almost went bankrupt and had no choice basically. And i think now, after the interview that he is a bit upset that FF had been doing just a well, if not better overall since he left.

Plus sony owns 18 or 20 % of Sqaure Enix I don't think it will come over... Also this interview was nothing but an Xbox 360 Ad it was sad I wonder how much he got for blowing smoke up MS's ass....

/sarcasm Oh yes, I've seen it coming! We are losing MGS4, FF, White Knight Story, GT5, Tekken 6, and all the other games out there that we have left! Not going to happen.

Sakaguchi doesn't work for SE anymore, so I really don't think that he has any bearing over what SE does with the series henceforth.

There's a greater chance of the Final Fantasys going to the Wii than the 360.

Wtf... WTF IS HAPPNENING?! Seriously, only 2 possible reasons: A) He really truly loves the 360 B) He got sweetly paid by Microsoft to bash on the PS3 and Wii.
