Square-Enix really has no reason to bring FFXIII to the 360 so don't worry.

Square-Enix is not a company that is known for going multiplatform.  They like to keep each of their games original on each  console and I respect them very much for that.  They will make future Xbox 360 titles as they said they will even out the support a little in the next-gen but it won't be the blockbuster titles.  Square's main audience is the Japanese gaming community, one reason why the DS is receiving so much exclusive support from Square because of the DS's unimaginable popularity in Japan.  They know that there is no guarantee that FF XIII will sell on the 360 because as we all know, most of the people that buy the 360 are not RPG fans at all.  That is also the reason why MS and third-party developers heavily concentrate on making shooters for the console (the extreme favorite genre of the 360 and American gaming community).  Although MGS4 is not a guarantee yet to be a PS3 exclusive, don't worry about FF13.

Sorry to tell you this but Final Fantasy was never exclusive to Sony. The white engine is open source, it can be done on 360.

Money talks, if the money is there to be made on a 360 version of FFXIII then Square will bail out on Sony, just like Capcom and Namco

Capcom lost money on Dead Rising and Lost Planet because of their lack of popularity in Japan. You're right money does talk but with Square Enix having no guarantee of sales on the 360, they will be spending more than they're earning by making a port of FF13.hyofinkl

Also there is more RPG's announced for 360 than PS3, so your 360 gamers don't play RPG argument doesn't hold any water.JoeWii60

You forget about companies that barely announce games such as Nis America or Namco Bandai.

NB are making a Dot Hack game for the PS3 right now. Nis America are also making games exclusive to the PS3. Oh and by the way LO and BD dont count because they suck.

Now you see i can be just as much of a fanboy as you.

THey didn't trust Dragon Quest to the PS3 in Japan. Why would they trust the series popular in the USA, Final Fantasy, to the PS3, when there is an alternative with a bigger installled base? Final Fantasy is going multiplatform.Hulabaloza

Square has more dignity than Capcom, it will never happen i gaurantee you.

I really don't think you know just how hard a task it is to port an entire RPG from one system to another. In most cases, it isn't even worth the trouble, especially since most people will have already played it on the other platform. If anything, they'll make a new spinoff for it but I wouldn't count on even that because of its status in Japan right now.

It doesnt matter what that traitor thinks seeing as how hes not involved with Square anymore. He acts waay too mighty when all he did was make a couple of lousy sub-par at best JRPGs for the 360.

Your an idiot if you think Square will back out of what they say. They will make games for the 360 but it wont be the main series. Yeah they want money but like what alot of other people say they will lose more than they make.

Now how about you quit trolling and get off

And who does he work for again? I think... MICROSOFT!  Do you really think that a man that currently works for MS would have an unbiased opinion on Japan's biggest series.  Sakaguchi is just plain sore about leavin Square and making games that are sub-par compared to those of Square's.  He knows that Blue Dragon and Lost Odessey can't hold a candle to games like FF13.  Sakaguchi also hasn't been involved with the FF series in way too long to actually play a factor in Square Enix.

FF13 has the biggest base in ***.

x360 is the last console in *** with 3k console sales per week.

full fledged WHITE ENGINE can run only on the ps3.

just like DMC 4 where the devs said that each version of DMC4  would focus on the max strength of each console(pc,x360,ps3) ........FF13 is possible on x360 if it is massively watered down.

at the same time SQUARE would lose atleast 10 million on x360 version which would be a massive flop in ***.

so FF13 would remain exclusive to ps3.

FF will NOT come out for 360.

First of all the agrument that they'll get more money is irrelevant.

By the time FF comes out PS3 will have over 10million consoles sold, just like 360 has now.
How are 360 getting exlcusives now? They started out with only few people and remember games take time to dev for so when 360 first came out(mind I say the forums looked exactly the same as the PS3 forums now) they didn't have that many people let alone XBOX being beat by PS2. It's not about the now.

Sure monoey money is involved and I'm sure they've had meetings with Sony reps and analysts that have shown them that PS3 will have a good base (let alone fan base in the near future). You gotta think long term.

Second about the RPG's anounced

OF COURSE they have more announced, MS barely has good ones now and fans in US are NOT rpg fans much, MS is doing it to get more users in JAPAN. (how many articles have said that already)
Also they would have more announced since it's been out for much longer than PS3, and devs have worked on and finishing their games around this time and are announcing them.

BTW

looking at gamespot's announced rpgs for 360 and PS3

360 -27 Out forwell over a year

PS3-21 Out for 4 months (let alone action rpg's which are getting very popular)

also an ENGINE  and a GAme are two differnet thing.

Engine are used in games, just because an engine is available for everyone doesn't mean any game out using will be, although it is possible.

If they make FF from the ground up on the 360 THEN they would be losing money. BUT if its a port, then they will be making money so your argument doesnt make sense. and like ppl are saying, they are "hoping" its gonna be PORTED to the 360. Make sense to do it.

Man I hope FF13 never goes to xbox360 It will annoy my brains out. Not because I'm a fanboy but because this is one of the games that warranted the 1,5 year I waited to get my hands on next gen hardware and pay 600 euros for the 60gig model( I'm a one console man, dont have enough money to fully enjoy 3 consoles so i fully enjoy one ;) ) I just hope Phill will do anything to keep the exclusive, money, favors, special favors I dont care just make sure it stays exclusive.The_Tombo

Of course he wans FF to comes to xbox360. If FF comes to xbox360 = more ppl buy xbox360 = lots of ppl in JPN has xbox360 = More ppl will buy his RPG games. Simple. He is under MS, wad do u expect, saying that Blue Dragon and LO is exclusive for a year? I doubt so.

FF will not go to xbox360. I dun think that Square Enix is stupid enough to let FF flop in Japan. 1st time in history, a FF game flops in JPN. Ouch, dun wish  to see that.

for all the guys saying ff will be ported...ok...i have no doubt they could...but it´ll be the highest priced ported game of history....they can put ALL the things of FF13 on a blu ray disc...where are they going to port it to?? hd dvd?? u r talking of what? 2 or 3 dvd´s??...cmon..wouldnt be very profitable...i guesspsyum

2-3 DVDs is such a big deal? Many of the PS2 titles that were on multiple discs were single layer discs. Final Fantasy XII was on one disc but I really don't see a problem if it went or 2 discs. Do you even know the cost of one dvd disc?

VF5 will never come out on xbox 360

DMC4 will never com out on xbox 360

Assassin Creeds will never come out on xbox 360

Grand Theft Auto 4 will never come out on xbox 360

Resident Evil 5 will never come out on xbox 360

Ace Combat will never come out on xbox 360

Seriously, do you think that developers give a crap about brand loyalty.  Sony deserves this and it is better that more games are going multiplatform.  Saying FF13 will never go to xbox 360 is stupid.  Developers will go where the money is.

FF should be on the 360. Its all about making money and porting it to the 360 makes a lot sense for their part. Its not about SOny, its about whats best  for Square and I can see it being on the 360 if I like it or not. It won't bother me if it was on the 360 cause I will still buy it on the PS3 so I don't see a big deal.

DMC serires never went multi-platt..until now  /thread

 Also the maker of the FF series said that the white engine is being made with multi-plat in mind,so that basically means it's coming ot 360 :P (holds flame shield up)
