Square Enix has clarified that recent comments made by Shinji Hashimoto regarding Final Fantasy on Xbox 360 were referring to the company's current plans.

Japan's Nikkei BP quoted the executive producer as saying, "As for Final Fantasy on the Xbox 360, it's currently a completely blank page." Some reports interpreted this to mean that the series will never again appear on Microsoft's next-gen console.

However, a spokesperson for Square Enix told GamesIndustry.biz, "Hashimoto-san was talking about the current situation" - which would suggest his comments shouldn't be interpreted as forward-looking.

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter said he expects the next Final Fantasy to appear on PlayStation 3 exclusively - but observed that Square Enix will face a tough decision.

"The series has always been single console and given the Xbox 360 sell through in Japan, it would be hard to put the next Final Fantasy instalment on the 360 only," he told GI.biz.

"Square Enix faces a dilemma: put the next game on the 360 only and alienate Japanese fans, depart with tradition and make it multi-platform, or go with PS3 as an exclusive and deal with the backlash from the west.

"I view Square Enix as a tradition-bound company, and expect the last alternative to be chosen," Pachter concluded.

Square Enix recently announced that RPG The Last Remnant is currently in development for both PS3 and Xbox 360, and will launch simultaneously in the US and Japan.

where does does it say that ff13 will appear on the 360.?:? i love how fanboys always do selective reading and quote people out of context.:roll:PowerCharged

"However, a spokesperson for Square Enix told GamesIndustry.biz, "Hashimoto-san was talking about the current situation" - which would suggest his comments shouldn't be interpreted as forward-looking."

In other words it means there's still a possiblity or FFXIII or any other FF game after to come on the 360 but in the not in the current situation ( which is why I wrote off again in the topic title)..so posting this makes me a fanboy now :roll:

Cows there are going to riot if that happens. I dunno why they care so much though, it's not like they won't be getting FF13/VS if it goes multiplat. In fact, 360 owners might get it a few months after the PS3 release. The only difference is that more people will be able to play the game. The Japanese should just grow the **** up and stop crying.

Ok...I changed the topic up a bit.

Idon't see how there would be a backlash from the West if FF13 was PS3 exclusive. FF games have been pretty much Sony exclusive for years and no one has complained. I would imagine by the time the game comes out, the PS3 will have sold more and the price might have dropped when it does, Sony would be crazy to not drop the price late this year.

Btw, anyone who was expecting FF13 on the 360 and bought it for that reason is really retarded, same goes for whoever expects MGS4 to be on the 360.

How about making these threads when sqaure says something more than 'its a blank page', that would seem logical.

Ahh I am tied of all this multplat stuff. Let the cows keep there games since FF is not good ne more. Fallout and ME throughly destroy it, cows should get over it toosoiguessialive

Fallout = multi-plat,

Mass effect = sci-fi shooter (from what ive seen, there no way in hell you can call it a RPG)

Final fantasy = 8,9,10 (11 was different...) 12 = AAA.

You fail. Good day :).

FF8 6.7

FF9 8.5

FF X-2 8.1

FFXI 6.0

Oh really now? see how easy it is to be selective? BTW not a single version of 9 was AAA...

the ownage hurts doesn't it?

ILL BET MY LIFE TAT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Square enix had 2 games for each next gen console so they can have a race to see who sells more. WII=FF:CCCB+DragonQuest, 360=BlueD+LostO, and PS3=FFXIII+Versus.DarkNeji14

Funny how little knowledge you have to claim something like that. BD and LO are NOT made by SE..shows how much you know about that company
