of course they want it on the wii. if it does (which it wont) then itll go to the 360 most likely. idc if it goes to the 360 tho because itll be worse cause i think it was the director that said the PS3 is ideal for it

"The game took the 3rd place at the poll with 196 votes" So which games took first and second place?

and on polls don't you have about 4-5 options, it's not like the voters had a huge list to choose from. If it was 5 options, one being "others", shouldn't 3rd place be considered a minority ?

 

Think about this. Isn't Famitsu the biggest Gaming News Source in japan? FF 13 just got 196 votes in the biggest news site where alteast a few thousands (maybe even up to a million) visit. Doesn't that mean that they don't want DQ and FF 13 multiplat because they came 3rd and 4th? with so few votes.

[QUOTE="JiveT"]Square said White Engine was multiplatform. Endfinal
No, it isn't. What other system has a Cell processor in it?

White Engine is specific to the Cell proccessor so that means White engine is for PS3.

The person that said it was multiplat was Sakaguchi (dunno how to spell it). He doesnt work foir SE anymore, so he has no idea.

Yes they have, and SE stated it would be used on other games. what has Square enix lincensing UE3 have to do with the White Engine being specific for the cell processor?

LOL, any fourth grader can tell you that Wii would explode trying to run the White Engine. It sounds to me like SOME PEOPLE should just accept what a REAL NEXT-GEN GAME MACHINE costs, and buy it instead of whining that it has exclusive games that you can't play on your crappy system.

[QUOTE="ddldave"][QUOTE="DementedDragon"]"you can't always get what you want."Infinatey

agreed. And the 360 community wouldn't accept FFXIII. A large majority of 360 owners in america....are middleschool, halo loving, madden playing teenagers. They'd take 1 look at FFXIII and say 'this aint no halo!" or something stupid like that. This is why mistwalker will ultimatly fail with microsoft...as will tri cresendo (eternal sonata) and tri ace (infinite undiscovery). And in the end...they'll all flock over to Sony.

Since when do cows have the right to speak for lemmings? I could steroetype cows as Manga reading, anime watching, RPG playing, androgenous character loving rich kids. However, I also know the PS3's best game right now is an FPS.

You shouldn't make generalizations about things you know nothing about. I am personally looking forward to all the titles you mentioned. I also know a lot of other 360 owners who are.

FF13 on Wii? Is that a joke? If they wanted a FF on Wii they'd need a Wii exclusive version, not an extremely dumbed down FF13.DA_B0MB
They could easily have all of FF13 intact by making it on Wii. Think of what a RPG consists of, FF13 doesn't look to have FF12 gameplay(Or improved) looks like traditional route. Which would be very simple even on the snes.

I just found this article- http://www.gamespot.com/ps/rpg/finalfantasy9/news.html?sid=2679121

Too bad it never happened, I would do anything for a FF9 remake, sequel, spin-off, or anything.

360 has the worst chance of receiving it , it is last in sales in Japan, being neglected by japanese gamers, and etc...

It really doesn't matter what they want.

Because FFXIII can't be ported to Wii due to the difference of system power. 

To make it fit for Wii, SquareEnix would have to make the entire game all over, coming up with character models with less polygons and low-res textures etc etc etc and that would most likely cost them the price of making another game.

Also if SE already spent too much time making the game to fit for PS3, discarding that would be idiotic.

[QUOTE="Trading_Zoner"]Too bad that won't happen. FF XIII could never be ported to Wii. And it would not be worth it to port to Xbox 360.Trading_Zoner

 

Square could alwasy can, FFXIII PS3, and start again on the Wii. ... Not likely but who knows.

FFXIII uses UE3 doesn't it?

can UE3 run on Wii? I don't think so.

And by the time they port it to a lesser engine, change the control scheme, and compress all the cutscenes for Wii so it fits on a DVD everyone who wanted the game will have bought it anyways. 

FFXIII uses the White Engine which Square created and its optimized for PS3. UE3 will be used for the games on the 360/PC.

Japanese voters wanting a PS3 game to go multiplatform can only mean they want it also on the Nintendo Wii. It's simple facts and common sense. The Xbox 360 bombed in Japan. The Wii is number one there and like the rest of the world selling out. The PS3 there is way behind it and like the rest of the world can easily be found. Also the PS3 has had several price cuts from time to time in stores and it is still way behind the Nintendo Wii. Voters there wanting a PS3 game to go multiplat can only mean they want it on the Nintendo Wii. Wanting it on the 360 doesn't really enter the equation I think.

Chances of getting a Wii version isn't crazy I think. Depending what is in the game they could just change the engine. They already have working ones from past games they'd just have to modify. With scripted ingame scenes they should be able to do it. Just add more to the Final Fantasy 12 engine and alter the art in the game and they most likely would be in good shape. It would have to be more then one disc though even with it being dual layered. Not due to the game itself but because Square will fill the game with FMVs. Honestly I prefer ingame engine scripted scenes but that might just be me. Those tend to flow better I think.

If they want it to go multiplat for 360, then how about they buy more 360s in Japan. Just because a couple hundred people voted on an online poll, doesnt mean that the Japanese want FF13 to be multiplat.asdasd

If they wanted it on the Wii and 360 so badly, they would buy more of those consoles (360 especially). The reasons why it isn't multiplat is because of the lack of support.

Honestly I prefer ingame engine scripted scenes but that might just be me. Those tend to flow better I think.

It isn't easy as you would think. First they would have to make entire world over using the other previously used engines like FFX or FFXII. Creating a world with such detail takes long time and money. Same goes with characters. Even with existing engine, it takes a lot of money to make the port from PS3 to Wii. All this trouble just to make a port? They would be spending near equal money of making new game for a inferior version of FFXIII for Wii, which most likely will not sell very well because the ones with PS3 will prefer PS3 version than Wii version because it will be inferior version. Also most of Final Fantasy fans WILL buy PS3 to get their hands on FFXIII anyway if no other version is announced, so Square will be wasting their effort by spending needless budget by making a port. Their money would be better spent just making a entirely new game on Wii.
