So,no biggie.

PS3 purchase confirmed.

Compressed video and sound means...Sorry, im 14

proves that the ps3 is the more powerful console

Double ^^^

Worse quality

^^^

No, its proves it has the more expansive format. Blu-ray gives not connotation to power

Any suggestions why 360 isn't multiple discs?

ps3 version for me.

Translation:

360 version had to have video and audio compressed.
PS3 version ended up being a dual layer blu-ray disc.

I think I may have to see Eurogamer's comparison first before I judge based on a huge Japanese article, translated into two lines of English.

Oh there gonna be a diff. But how many will notice it

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"][QUOTE="Revolution316"]low quality audio and video

Revolution316

OHNO you DII,DINT

I bet the 360 version will sell better.

But there is a much larger fanbase for the 360 in both Europe & NA combined. A LOT more than Japan.

But Japan is where FF sells the most though.

double_heist

Thanks so much for this! I was worried they'd sacrifice alot of the PS3's performance capabilities to make the game possible on the 360. It looks like they gave the short stick to the 360 instead.

[QUOTE="garland51"]

[QUOTE="NAPK1NS"] Are you kidding me? It's not even coming out in Japan.pretzelmeister

But there is a much larger fanbase for the 360 in both Europe & NA combined. A LOT more than Japan.

That's hwo it works in theory. However DMC sold on par with the PS3 version. GTA sold better (Yes it had some late ports to the xbox) etc

While the 360 got compressed audio and video, I'll wait till both versions are over in the US before issuing judgment over their respective quality. I still think its great that the game is coming to the 360, and PS3 owners should be happy that the PS3 did not suffer like so many feared.

In the end, both sides win. 360 only owners will finally get a chance to play a main series Final Fantasy game on the system while PS3 owners get to enjoy Final Fantasy XIII with uncompressed video and audio. Regardless of technical details, the important thing to remember is that both sides will get to enjoy what will be a high quality game

If both versions sell well, then we'll have our answer on whetherSquare Enix made the right decision when they made XIII multiplat.

What if FFXIII 360 had the Star Ocean 4 problem? PLEASE SWITCH TO DISC 2 PLEASE SWITCH TO DISC 3 PLEASE SWITCH TO DISC 4 PLEASE SWITCH TO DISC 1 PLEASE SWITCH TO DISC 4 PLEASE SWITCH TO DISC 3 PLEASE SWITCH TO DISC 1 PLEASE SWITCH TO DISC 2 DISC READ ERRORdouble_heist

Well, the original FFXIII game that was being designed we gamers will never see, since it's design was changed...however, I have yet to read anything about the design sacrifices to be severely detrimental.

You are correct about SO4, and it's multidisc issues, but luckily, that was one of the Design changes to FFXIII that SE made.

Looking forward to FFXIII and FF Versus XIII.

So,no biggie.

I think I may have to see Eurogamer's comparison first before I judge based on a huge Japanese article, translated into two lines of English.

The bottom half talks about controls and general comments about the game

He only translated only the part which talks about PS3 and 360 versions:

・動画や音声の圧縮率に差がある
・ブルーレイは2層だが360版は途中でDVD交換が必要

I'll be playing it on my 360.

Don't see how cows are trying to make this ownage, at least the 360 is getting it too, right?

[QUOTE="Revolution316"]

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"] You're overreacting with the 'low' part.BlackTragedy

OHNO you DII,DINT

Oh yes he did lol

[QUOTE="Stats_"]

[QUOTE="pretzelmeister"] It's not THAT much larger, especially in Europe. Besides, the Final Fantasy fanbase is larger on PS3 due to its history of Final Fantasy games. 360 gamers aren't as likely to get FFXIII because none of the previous games (excluding FFXI online) were on an Xbox console.2mrw

That's hwo it works in theory. However DMC sold on par with the PS3 version. GTA sold better (Yes it had some late ports to the xbox) etc

Ill be getting this game on ps3 as a long time fan of Final fantasy games i wont get a superior game like this on xbox 360 even though i do like my 360 and some of there great games FFXIII to me is meant for ps3 why would i want my game to have video and audio compressed?so its a definite ps3 game purchase for me

His information was redundant, if it seems shorter I deleted the repeated lines.

・イベントでキャラが離脱した場合でもその間に稼いだCPは
離脱していたキャラもたまっていく

During events, even characters who have withdrawn will receive CP (does this mean K.O.'d characters or simply characters that are not in your current party? I don't know).
PS3版と360版の違い

Differences between the PS3 and 360 versions.
・動画や音声の圧縮率に差がある

The compression ratio will be different.
・ブルーレイは2層だが360版は途中でDVD交換が必要
操作方法

PS3 uses double layer bluray; 360 ver uses disc swapping of DVDs.
・L2R2は使用しない

The game doesn't use L2 or R2
・十字キーはフィールド時はリザーブスモーク使用、戦闘中はターゲット、コマンド選択
電撃レビューより抜粋

??? Sorry, I don't get this one. Something about using "reserve smoke" ...
・バトル前後に読み込みは一切無い

Absolutely no loading for battles (beginning or ending)
・120点の出来

??? Literally "120 points of occurences" ... Of what?
・ステータス画面のキャラの顔は動く

In the status screen character faces move.
・FF史上もっともエキサイティングな戦闘

I think this means "The most exciting battles in FF history."
・セーブポイントは細かい

??? Save points are "small" or "minute?" Maybe this means that there are few savepoints. Not very familiar with this adjective.
・ムービーはプレイを邪魔することの無い適切な長さ

I think this means "The movies aren't so long that they are a "hindrance" to gameplay"

Not the best translation, but I'm still in a process of learning Japanese so ...

Guys, you should take note that the article doesn't say that the PS3 ver is uncompressed. It says that the compression ratios are different.

Final Fantasy XIII Is Better On The 360 Version Because It's A Multiplat. Multiplats Will Always Be Better on The 360. If it could take up to Multiple Discs; i could care less. I don't care about Blu-Ray. I don't know why people call Blu-Ray an advantage. It has a slow loading on the PS3 which make it a terrible version.BloodSeeker1337

Are you for real?

I bet the 360 version will sell better.

slipknot0129

Just about all video and audio is compressed for 360 games. What does that mean? It means 360's hardware will have to uncompress it, while PS3 just streams it off the disc. In other words, it means nothing.
