Old. But that's ok. Lost Odyssey was 4 discs which makes me wonder if FFXIII is a short game..

Never judge a game's length just on the number of disks it comes with. There's a lot more to it then that.

Well obviously. But it's been said that FFXIII is CGI heavy. Lost Odyssey wasn't, yet had 4 discs. I'm just a little worried is all.

FF13 is said to have rather extensive end game content, and be a good forty hour or so game on first play through.

Couldn't you just install the other two disc, and play with one like you could with Forza 3?

If that's the case then I am assuming that the cutscenes take up a big bulk of space.

Edit: I typed a whole last part of that post indicating it was sarcasm but when I posted it was deleted. :| Anyway, I was just impersonating the eventual cows that will use this as some kind of ownage, and being sarcastic.

of course it's troublesome. imagine having to change cartridges in the 16-bit era. uh-oh. heck, even PC games (which are in DVD) don't need to swap discs. Neverwinter Nights had 3 discs but yo jsut install them and then that's it.

3 disc swaps throughout a game that lasts 40+ hours is not much, mate.

Hold it, Lemmings. Time to change the disc. I know. I know. It's a pain. But you need to swap disc 1 for disc 2. You see the disc labeled 2?

PS3:

Oh, wait! We're on Playstation 3! It's a Blu-Ray Disc. No need to swap.

As I thought, lemmings didn't get my joke.

That is because you haven't been blessed with MGS4. If you woulde have played the game, you would have understood that part.

Anyway I'm a hermit so calling me a cow is making me lol.

LOL, so true. If the PS3 wasn't at the 360's level, they'll still claim gameplay>>>>graphics. But now that it is, they go & do a 180. Gotta love hypocrisy.

Except that MGS4 had you stopping after each act to force an install on you that turned out to be longer than actually swapping a disc. Oh teh lulz! :P

Wow only 3 disks? I have a feeling this games going to be short. Also splitting the disks up means the 360 version would have faster load times, less texture popins and faster menu access. Does the PS3 version even support hard drive installation?

Just looked it up the PS3 version has no hard drive installation support. This means the 360 version would have faster load times, less graphical bugs or slow downs. Source

zaku101

Just read your whole source its running very smooth PS3 games doesnt need install look at uncharted 2 and they said FFXIII Japanese version got nearly no loading times.
