Final Fantasy isnt as great as it used to be anyways, and so far this game only has vibrant graphics to back it up.

Moving it to 360 really wont change much, and I dont know why they would seeing as the PS3 has better capabilites than the Xbox :\

And awesome music. :P

Two consoles has a bigger userbase than one.

 

[moog]

Oh yeah, definatly I agree on the userbase, but I was talking more about pushing the system to its limits. I wonder if one version will be better than the other? D:

 

[skirtboy]

The PS3 is nowhere near it's potential yet, and if they're alreay pushing the 360 to the limit, Microsoft id f***ed.

 

[Stardust]

anywho ff13, i'll look at some character art. that will tell me if i want to play it. if it's in a folksy futuristic setting.... AGAIN, then no wai.

It looks like they're going for a more futuristic, less folksy look.

That would probably be true if the PS3 wasn't TOTALLY FAILING.

 

[Despain]

This is INSANE WTH! fdjgdfkjchKLJBGKJLHKLCJGK This is dumb! I hate the Xbox and this is EXACTLY why! F*cking jack! This is... lJHGAH! I'm ending my video game playing career.

SquareEnix has just lost a valued customer! And Sony Playstation, AND EVERYTHING with video games... All of it. I've given up hope. Look at what has happened.

Eff it all!

Sony isn't losing that much. FF13 is coming for ps3 in japan because ps3 sells in japan.

In the U.S, from what I understand, the ps3 cant hold a candle to the 360 (I own neither so dont judge) so square is simply putting there game on a system that sells better.
dont see why to hate em for it. Just "good bussiness".


er... and I think I'll get around to buying a 360 this year. Way too many good games coming out to miss (though I guess I'll have to miss tekken 6 and MGS4... T_T)

 

[Stardust]

The 360 has a lot more anticipated arrivals than PS2, which, I believe, is partially why it's doing so much better.  XBox 360 has the Halo series, Gears of War, and it also has a larger diversity in games.  You have everything from the racing games to Oblivion to Lost Odyssey to Universe at War for the XBox 360, while I've seen little diversity in the PS3-specific games so far.

Also, hi Linis. ^-^

Looking at pretty much any sales figures would show you that the the 360 is NOT doing better than the PS3, currently, in any way but cumulative sales, something that the PS3 is slowly but surely catching up to. From a global perspective, PS3 has been outselling the 360 since December, and has even been outselling it in the US recently

Like I said, I don't think this announcement is going to do anything for this, especially with GoW 3 announced.

ok arc whatever you say

you adorable final fantasy fanboy you

What I meant by my post was that, regardless of how well the 360 is doing now, if its potential is maxed out before the ps3's, then the 360 will go the way of the Dreamcast. Remember that the first playstation trailed behind the N64 for a considerable fractoin of it's lifespan, but won that fight because it had better capability in the long term. The PS3 is holding well in Europe, Won by default in japan, and has not been knocked out in the US.

 

[OdioOmnus]

But the PS3 doesn't have better capacity in any way but the Blu-Ray disc. The 360 actually has a much more powerful processor and GPU than the PS3, and games are cheaper because Xbox customers don't have to buy Blu-Ray discs.

Actually its been proven that the PS3 and 360 are roughly equal in power, with the PS3 having an insubstantially minor advantage.

However the difficulties faced in optimizing games for the PS3 makes the 360 overall an easier system for developers to work with.

i doubt this will affect sales much at all.

japanese people are still the #1 jrpg buyers, and even there, the demand for traditional rpgs is slowing down.

i do agree that sony needs to get its act together and start getting some more exclusive shit (AND FU9U8U(y*hubjnKING RELEASE [HOME] GODDAMNIT FUCK YOU SONY), or else its sales will most definitely start to plunge even more. But FF in particular, unless it totally LEAVES sony altogether, will probably not skew profit margins in any noticeable way.

Now if Dragon Quest jumped ship to Microsoft, then Japan would immediately start jizzing all over XBOX. We never think of DQ since they've only released a few of them in the states and FF is a bigger influence here, but in Nippon, DQ owns every game ever. Companies actually give out entire vacation days on DQ release dates. Every store sells out of them entirely. I heard that even some schools close for a day on their release dates. Japanese people fucking spooge liquid platinum at dragon quest.

PS3 is hard to code/make compatible/whatever for I hear but the hardware has a lot more potential, so I hope that they start getting their shit together.

I'm going to get a 360 anyway eventually, but you have to realize that 99% of xbox "exclusive" shit also comes out on PC a few months later, is always better, has better graphics, and better controls. I always just buy the PC version.


(also: asking Kojima to port a game to XBOX and foresake quality????? yeah fucking right, he may be an indignant asshole but he's one of the few people in the biz to whom QUALITY is paramount to profit)

 

[skirtboy]

It makes no difference what titles are available on the 360, it will never take the place of the PS3 in Japan, because it's a foreign product, and Japanese consumers are much more domestic in their buying habits than American ones.

The main reason I don't buy many computer games is because my computer is very low-tech.  The 360 can handle things like Oblivion, while it would have a tremendous amount of lag if I tried to put it on my computer.  Also, a television has a bigger screen, so you can sit somewhere besides right in front of it.  It's better for one's eyes, especially for people like me who's eyes don't like light.

 

[Venetia]

Well, yes, that's the case with a lot of people. However I have a very high-end PC, so gaming on that is always 10x more enjoyable for me.

 

[Perihelion]

I am pleased to say that I predicted the port as soon as I heard FF13 was announced. I'm glad, anyway; I don't have a PS3 and don't intend to get one.

ok arc whatever you say

you adorable final fantasy fanboy you

This is fantastic. I don't know whether to laugh or be pissed.

Bravo.
