if it does.
I'm guessing people will stop caring about the game, because it would be multiplat:|

[QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"][QUOTE="2mrw"] timed exclusive for a game like FF shall kill any further ports for the x360 .... Sony isn't really smart to throw in some money .... imagin if FFXIII was timed exclusive for the PS3, the sales of the x360 would have been halved. Sony's first party games can't compansate for games like FF, Tekken, GTA4 .... not saying the game are the best ever, but they are really such good names that can shadow other games even if they ar subpar.Bazooka_4MEYeah, I can see your point about trying to secure some time exclusivity of the big name 3rd party titles. Sony however, doesn't think it's worth paying thousands or maybe even millions of dollars for 6-12 months of exclusivity when that money could help fund a brand new IP or a sequel. Finally some smart people in here. It's true Sony's 1st party games do sell more than multiplatform games so IMO, I don't think they're going to waste $$ on buying exclusivity for FFXIII Versus. Exactly and we're not talking about Shin Megami Tensei here. Final Fantasy is a huge franchise from a huge well known company and I'd imagine the cost to keep it exclusive would go into the millions just the same as GTA.

Ha! i knew someone mentioned my name :P.. oh why you think i would do dat? im not crazy :P.. seeing how fairly XIII have done on 360 no surprises but i was hoping for it to at least be Timed for PS3 so that the release date wont be extended..they havent confirmed it yet anyways..will see..as long as i get to play it on my system all is good

Yeah, Sony just now starting to see profit on the PS3 and losing billions of dollars on the PS3, aren't exactly in the position to be paying like 25 million (just a thought) to keep FF VS XIII exclusive or timed exclusive for a year.[QUOTE="Meowmixxvi"][QUOTE="KittenWishes"] Just like when 360 owners had to wait 6 months for the PS3 version of GTAIV to get finished.Zaibach
damn it, i don't want to have to wait longer for this game, lol
mD-
It will most likely be the same release plans as FF XIII. In Japan first on PS3 and then worldwide in other areas for PS3/360.
If this is true, I wonder if "cows" will still claim FFvsXIII being the better game (compared to FFXIII). :lol:xsubtownerxIt will be. I couldn't even finish FFXIII it was so awful. This is Square's last chance to bring the series back to it's former glory, IMO. They keep trying to dumb it down for the Halo generation.

i keep having my lovely jrpg genre on my 360 final my friend :P no need of ps3 x3lol maybe people should wait for official confirmation before getting carried away?blue_hazy_basic
FF XIII was a bombshell. SE are actually giving PS3 fans a notice so the blow won't be as big and SE won't get as much hatemail this time. I wonder what Japan thinks, they weren't too please with the 360 release of FF XIII either from what I remember.
[QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"]I guess Nomura got overruled by Wada.Kokuro_KunI hope not... I hate to seem like a cow over this, but some things just need to stay. You guys can keep your Halo on the Xbox but let me have Final Fantasy!! Urm... FF wasn't even "yours" to begin with? Even in the FFCow's most beloved generation, the PS gen, it wasn't PS exclusive - the first time I played FF7, it wasn't on the PS. Some of the best FF games ever came out on non-Sony systems. It has been handheld happy every generation. FF needing to "stay" on Sony systems is just silly, since it *never* stayed on Sony systems. If you hate to seem like an petty, blindly loyal Cow over this, you'd better change what you're doing because... That's precisely what you seem like.
Yeah dude fanboys here should wait for official confirmation before going banana ........... I think Kojima also gave a hint about MGS4 360 port at some point but nothing happen after that.Foxhound_spyExcept SE just brought their flagship main title to the 360 and are now saying this could potentially happen with the next game.
I dont care...as long as I dont have to wait an extra 6 freaking months to wait for it to be ported to 360 to release simultaneous with the PS3.
i didn't like that they had to make changes to ff13 to port it, if they have to make changes to vs 13 i don't want it. it sounded like the perfect game, now im thinking they're going to redo most of it to make it fit on 4 dvd's. which means they'll take out alot of the stuff that makes it ff. like backtracking, side quests (not just monster hunts you dolts) and an openly explorable world. i don't have an issue with the fact that its multiplat, i have an issue of them gimping their original ideas because they "have to" make it multiplat. i also have loyalty issues, i know its a business in an industry based entirely on greed but i think if you tell people for 5 years "no its a ps3 exclusive" you should probably stick to that. i wouldn't appreciate it if someone more or less lied to me for 5 years (as is the case)
Another exclusive potentially lost. Hurrah. Now for those of you who do not care, this is kind of good news, more people to play the game.HaziqonfireAt the cost of quality.
Guess we can kiss the world map goodbye. :evil:
If this does happen, this could possibility bring Nomura over the edge. He loves the Playstation brand and Versus is like his baby and if Wada decides to put it on the 360, it could result in some drama.
Why would they go multiplat with this game when FF13 hasnt even sold a million copies on the 360? It not worth the costs to make it multiplat.djsifer01Pretty sure they still made a huge profit off the 360 version since it wasn't even THAT difficult to port. Crystal Tools is a multi-platform engine.

that was one of the things i was referring to. +1 , lems just see it as "harharhar we get your game now we plays it too" i see it as "they're going to water down and destroy a game just to make some mediocre extra sales" i really wouldn't care if they didn't just completely demolish the ps3 version so that they can make the versions identical. im sorry they used a dvd drive on a 360, but that doesn't mean you have to just completely screw up both versions of the game.
how they didn't learn with ff13 i'll never know.
Money talks, fanboys walk. Wada > Nomura. Nomura is crap anyway, really don't see the appeal. Amano was SO. MUCH. BETTER.If this does happen, this could possibility bring Nomura over the edge.

FFXIII didn't do so well on 360... Well, expect a much longer release date then... Thanks Micro$oft and Lemmings...XenogearsMaster
it didn't do well on the 360? okay.... and yet again...Id like to point you to a destructoid article about people blaming the 360 for ff13's problems.
Edit: 1.29 million on 360...and thats not even with it being released in jpn.
Can't wait for Sony fanboys to claim that this game is ruined now because it might be coming to the Xbox 360.

Amano's designs are just plain weird. Did you see his version of the Final Fantasy XIII characters? They look like mutants. Also, Stella in Versus XIII is probably Nomura's BEST design ever. Even better than Lightning.
except they didn't gimp any thing in FF13...I just hope the game is not gimped because SE is catering to the 360 too.:( Take full advantage of blu ray and the ps3 strength and I will be happy. Please SE dont gimp anything in this game just to make it run properly on the 360. I want huge open worlds,lossless audio,etc...

^ they gimped side quests/back tracking, exploration. which is actually a pretty big part of the final fantasy series. care to try again?

360 fanboys aren't in denial at all:roll: . i think most of us "cows" don't care about the sales, we care about the quality. ps3 gamers are used to the considerably high quality of exclusive games as opposed to multiplats. if they can keep it exactly the same then more power to them. but they won't, they'll demolish it just to make it the same on both platforms.
Contrary to popular cow belief, FFXIII did sell well on the 360.
It sold 0.98 million in "NA" on PS3, and 0.71 on 360. It sold 1.11 million in "rest of the world" on PS3, and 0.58 million on 360.
Obviously the PS3 version sold a lot more, mainly attributed to its Japan release, but when you compare them in the markets they released in, theres not a huge gap. For a first entry on a "shooter" console, FFXIII done fantastic.
Long way from confirmation, so let's not get too carried away. I wouldn't want Lemmings to have to backtrack once they've admitted they want it badly :P
I'm all for SE porting it over to the 360 and giving those fans a chance at another great game as long as:
A: They don't have to change the game to make it work on multiple discs. I think a lot of the hype about Vs. has been that it addresses many of the the things people complained about XIII. Changing the open world concept, backtracking, towns, or cutting content isn't gonna make anyone happy - no matter what system they get it for.
B: They don't delay the release of the PS3 version. Seriously, we've waited a long time for this game. Wrap it up and ship it already. Then for all I care you can put it on every system known to man :)

z4twenny
In what way do you expect them to demolish it?
Actual removal of fewatures from the game is more likely going to be due to budget constraints than console limitations if it happens.
The only thing that happened with FFXIII was that the 360 version rendered in sub-HD and the CGI rendered in 720p.

And thats not even with it being released in jpn....1.29 million without its release in jpn. or are you going to deny that 360 owners in jpn wouldn't have purchased the game? you do know the 360 has over 1 million sales in jpn....And it does get game sales when big games come out on the system over there. A jpn release would have netted it sales over there simple fact How many? who knows but it would have got sales.
It's not even that, his statements and stuff are idiotic. Closed-mega theatres, exclusive demos, and god-awful PR is all his fault. Regardless if he was in charge of the porting of Final Fantasy XIII, all the other stuff he does is horrible.Please,re read what you just stated.
