Square not working on the FF13 for xbox 360 until PS3 release in the west

Development of the xbox 360 version won't even begin until the ps3 version ff13 is released in north America and Europe.:) Looks like it will be a long time until FF13 apears on xbox 360 lemmings.:lol:

"Square Enix claims the game is still far too early in development to reveal (or even speculate at) a release date, though the company did reveal their current work schedule: First, the company will finish the Japanese PlayStation 3 version, which will then be localized for North America and Europe. Once that's completed, work will begin on the Xbox 360 version."

TP doesn't know how to finish the article, it also states, "Kitase emphasized Square Enix's efforts to release the different versions nearly simultaneously. "

TP is pwned NOOB

LOS ANGELES –- Speaking through a translator, Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase explained the company's plans to bring the game to the Xbox 360 as an effort to "bring as much fun to as many people as possible."

More pragmatically, he also mentioned that the change in the title's PlayStation 3 exclusivity was necessary due to "market situation for the Xbox 360 in the U.S. and Europe."

Square Enix claims the game is still far too early in development to reveal (or even speculate at) a release date, though the company did reveal their current work schedule: First, the company will finish the Japanese PlayStation 3 version, which will then be localized for North America and Europe.

Once that's completed, work will begin on the Xbox 360 version.

Though that would seemingly indicate a delayed release for the newly-announced port, Kitase emphasized Square Enix's efforts to release the different versions nearly simultaneously.

"As for the timing between the U.S. and Europe, we will try to make it as close as possible. We'll try to expedite localization," he said.

Unfortunately, Square was unable to reveal how the storage disparity between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3's game discs would be dealt with.

He stressed the company's goal to keep the two versions as similar as possible, however, saying "the content will be the same, though the format might be different."

Still early? What have they been doing? Working on the CGI trailer?

So they are going to delay the EU/NA PS3 version? Someone needs to call square enix and make them clarify this.

let's see what the TP states,

"Looks like it will be a long time until FF13 apears on xbox 360 lemmings"

long time =/= nearly simultaneouly

ONCE again, tp is pwned

If what your saying is ture this could be major ownage for lemmings.Iceman2911

...How?

It wasn't even coming to 360 two weeks ago.

He stressed the company's goal to keep the two versions as similar as possible, however, saying "the content will be the same, though the format might be different."

This is the crap that pisses me off with multiplats. Why try and keep them similar if you can maximize one version more than the other? I"m not saying Ps3 is being held back, but why keep any one version back for the other?

If their not beginning the 360 version until the PS3 version is released, then you're right, they might as well try and play to both systems strengths.

In other news, former PC games suffer from this frequently.

Work for the xbox 360 version of ff13 won't even begin until they have finished localizign the ps3 version for NA and Europe. I don't think square is going to wait until the xbox 360 version is finished if one version is 100% complete.

it's also a common sense to release something at its highest peak when there is a greatest amount of customers, do you see movies releasing in LA/NY and then few months later after all the hype dies, release in other cities? it RARELY happens. It's also a common sense that when it comes to sales, it's important to release a product at the largest customers at its highest peek. That's marketing 101.

Look at sales of bioshock, oblivion, etc for ps3, do you think that the sales number for ps3 would be that LOW if they were released around the same time? or was it low because it came out after all the hype died ?

Wordlwide movie releases have only been common since piracy became an issue dude, so your analogy fails. And Bioshock hasn't released yet, so that's explaining its low (0) sales. Square could wait with the release if MS paid enough, which they most probably did anyway. Otherwise, if Square were so business minded, SO4 would be multiplat as would be IU and the Last Remnant wouldn't be a timed exclusive. Or do you think that's also smart from a commercial point of view?

Did you read the rest of the article. He goes on to say that both version PS3 and Xbox 360 will be released around the same time. It'll take a lot less time to do the 360 version I'm sure. I'm sure the PS3 version in Japan will be out first. then it'll get released in U.S. and Europe and the Xbox 360 version will probably follow a couple of weeks later. Not a big deal really. This has been happening for multiplat titles on the PS3 and 360 for the past year now.

"Though that would seemingly indicate a delayed release for the newly-announced port, Kitase emphasized Square Enix's efforts to release the different versions nearly simultaneously.

"As for the timing between the U.S. and Europe, we will try to make it as close as possible. We'll try to expedite localization," he said.

Freakin' OUCH dude.

wow thats sad news for 360 hopefulls.

I wish i had a time machine sniff-a-ray.....because i would use it to smell alot of lemmings purchasing a ps3 for FFXIII because of impatientness. ReaperV7

I actually think FF13 is not going to translate well on 360, the game is obvious going to use PS3 advantages in the best way possible and this could cause problems when they convert the code to 360. I am gonna call and say that if SE are utilising PS3's specs in the best way possible like they said then I expect FF13 on 360 to be on like 4-5 discs and not looking as sharp.
