Nomura makes an interesting Tweet about multiplatform development and FFVXIII...

"Ever since Final Fantasy XIII was announced for the Xbox 360 at E3 2008, many began to wonder if the Playstation 3 exclusive Final Fantasy Versus XIII would also follow suit. Tetsuya Nomura, the director of the upcoming game, recent posted the following message regarding this matter on Twitter (via Andriasang):

"Multiplatform is when you start development on a game with the assumption of optimizing for multiple platforms. Porting is something that's done after you've developed a game specifically for a particular platforms. The debate over porting is decided by the management based off the current market and the costs. All I can say right now as a developer is that Versus is being developed specifically for the PlayStation 3."

That particular statement sounds like it is ultimately up to "management" as to whether or not Final Fantasy Versus XIII would be ported to the Xbox 360 and become a multiplatform title. For now, Tetsuya Nomura is concentrating on developing the game for the Playstation 3.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII still has no official release date."

Whatever it is, chances are Nomura is really going to exploit the PS3 in the way Kojima did for MGS4 to the extent that porting to the 360 would be far too lengthy and costly.GulliversTravel

It's not really a big deal. FF XIII was the bigger of the two and this just means FF Vs. XIII will be ported to the 360 after it launches on the PS3 rather then at launch like FF XIII. It's pretty much expected that FF Vs. XIII will make a 360appearance at some point unless Nomura throws in gameplay and cutscenes that will span 5 DVD discs or something like that.

Well, FFXIII actually sold quite well on the 360. Not as well as the PS3 obviously, but still, putting it on the 360 could work well in the end, maybe.

So the current development is specifically built for PS3? That's good news for cows. Although porting it to 360 wouldn't really be that hard if they decide to make it multiplat.mysterj

Despite being called a multiplatform engine nowadays Crystal Tools really is suited for the Cell.

Anyway, it will probably eventually come one way or another.

What does this mean about FFXIII though?

There are no absolutes when it comes to 3rd parties. I will say though, I've been all for VSXIII >>> XIII even before XIII was dubbed multiplatform. VSXIII might actually be the Final Fantasy that get's me back into the series.

Other than fanboys, who actually considered it exclusive after the main title went multiplat? I know I haven't, and I haven't cared since I found out it has an absolutely horrendous team behind it.

I hope it goes to 360, as I got XIII for the 360. Still, if it stays PS3 i'll be picking it up anyway.

Maybe it's up in the air, but he also said that it's not being made in the way a game that could be a potential multiplat would be made.

He said that multiplat games are made with 2 consoles in mind, but this one is only being made specifically for the PS3 (1 console in mind).

Woah there. lol
