Final Fantasy XIII FOR 360!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

PS3 just got OWNED

Let the fanboys cry!

Seriously though, this is totally legit and with out a doubt Microsoft just took a "We've seen it before, ooh dashboard update is cool, what the fuck?" presser and just WON E3 with that single announcement. I had this blog ready to go as soon as Wada was on stage.

Just to make it clear. Final Fantasy XIII is no longer exclusive to the Playstation 3, it is not even a timed exclusive. Final Fantasy XIII will launch the SAME DAY on both the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360.

It's actually real, President of Squeenix came out showed the 3 confirmed 360 game (star ocean, last remnant and infinite undiscovery) the left the stage. The Don mattrick started talking again and the squeenix guy came back on stage and said he had one more thing then proceeded to show a new FFXIII trailer. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

You're an idiot. I don't have a PS3, but that's still stupid statement.

@Gyno Cobra

Come on, you have to admit that that losing exclusivity of FFXIII is a huge loss to Sony in bragging rights and possible console purchase. Saying that they have been "owned" is not off base.

Not stupid at all, the PS3 had two huge exclusives they pimped Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII. They just lost a HUGE they've had their system exclusively for 11 years now (aside from XI)

If that's not ownage, I don't know what is.

What I don't get is, people were bitching and complaining about how shitty FF XII was. Now the same people are hailing this game as the best 360 announcement ever made.

I'm with superhobo. For the last few months I've been desperately trying to decide between the PS3 and 360. The biggest weight on the scale for the PS3 was FFXIII.
Also I started screaming when Wada came back on and tapped Don on the shoulder. I was like "Fuck... no way that's gonna happen." When they introduced the Squeenix guy first I was like "Maybe FFXIII?" And when he finished I was disappointed but not surprised. When the trailer came up I shit a brick.
I think that this could definitely help the 360 in Japan. With four RPGs coming from Squeenix, some exclusive, I think they're going to see some kind of boost over there.

So it's a PS3 timed exclusive? or did I miss the release date?

Despite any contradictory statements being made on the 360 side, this is terrible news for us on the PS3 side. Sony HAS to have something to fucking step it up with. Fuck Home, fuck trophies, fuck all of that; we NEED some killer app support to trump this huge announcement.

People never disliked FFXII it was just worse then the others. FF is like crack. If you like one, you have to buy them all.

Hmm, great news indeed, I can now look forward to the next FF on my future console, God willing.

My only concern now is that the PS3 version might have more stuff jammed onto the disc than the 360 version since there's such a storage space difference. I guess this could be fixed by having multiple discs, but it takes a lot of DVDs to match a Blu-ray. But when you look at it, a few extra pieces of content probably wouldn't be enough for me to buy a whole 'nother system.

Now everyone can enjoy the game then!...except Wii owners.

I'm with mrsadistic on this one. This announcement is huge, don't get me wrong, but everyone's so worked up about this game even though we've heard next to nothing about it. When I saw the trailer, all I thought was "Oh, more pretty pictures" and then I moved on.

I'm a ps3 owner and I have had no desire to purchase FFXIII since the first time it was announced, and I am a fan of Final Fantasy. Squeenix has lost its touch imho.

Microsoft impressed me. I'd admit, not just this but all the other stuff at a consumers point of view. Looking forward to the 'Not Funfax Looking Dashboard' Update.
Now that Microsoft's been, what will Sony have; I wonder?

The PS3 version will probably not be 4 discs.

Losing exclusivity is not a problem. It just means more people get to play the game on both sides. Anyone who owns either console should be happy.

I'll get whichever version comes on fewer disks or with more content.

LMAO..Sadistic nailed it. The best thing about their presentation was that they are getting the game associated with the PS3...that, the Mii avatar rip off of Nintendo and Lips..lol.

Was it me or did the chick singing on stage look high?? lol.

A wild PS3 Fanboy appears.

Microsoft uses FFXIII.

It's super effective.

PS3 fanboy uses multiple disc argument

It has little effect.


Seriously I have no problem if it is multiple discs. I would rather have had MGS4 be multiple discs then wait 4 minutes every time I beat an act. Even worse is when you load a save game from an older act and have to install the old act then reinstall the new act when you switch back to your original save.

I honestly don't mind switching discs around to get to the next stage of the game, as long as it's done well. Lost Odyssey did this, and it was a flawless system. So, that being said, I hope they go with a disc switching system instead of slicing the games to ribbons to fit on DVD9.

But about the announcement, I'm trying to be unbiased here, but right now it seems that PS3 doesn't have any big hitting games to sell itself on. I mean, the only game that I was really willing to dump all of my money into a PStriple was Final Fantasy. I'm getting up early to watch Sony's conference tomorrow, so I hope they something lined up to knock us out of the park.

Who said it had to be gimped? Chances are that it will fit on a DVD anyway. Most PS3 games don't take advantage of more than 9-10GB of space. As long as it fits in 8.7GB, they're fine. Hell, they might even do it on multiple discs, which is fine because it means no erroneous loading/installs.

FFXIII was definitely one of those heavy hitters for the PS3. Sony still has a lot of their good first party stuff.

Also, was anyone else bothered that they basically just put new music on the old trailer and mixed up the footage a bit? This game is far from being done.

To the people using the multiple disc argument:

Are you really that lazy that you can't possibly change the disc in your system every 15 hours or so!?

Wow. I think Squeenix just announced at their presser that FFXIII is not coming to the 360 in Japan. Sucks to be them, especially because that could have drawn people to the 360 there.

lets be honest, thats no big surprise. FFXIII wasn't going to convert any japanese to 360
