I am still dissapointed they are releasing FFXIII for Xbox, hopefully this will give PS3 the lead it needs

An rpg doing well on the japanese system, ya don't say( and a demo no less).To bad the other rpg devs couldn't figure that one out.

Why are WE getting the tales game a year late again?RPG's would pull similar numbers in the US if they would stop shuning the system were the majority of the fanbase is.

It's alright, the Xbox people can enjoy it too, as long as they don't mind having the change a disc every 30 minutes.

Can't wait for the demo.

I hear you Chaos. It just beguiles me, the loyalty that some show to PS3, like Sony will give them a medal or something. Guess what? Sony are behind with PS3 because of their own stupidity.

360 does what it does well enough.

Don't forget, FF was on exclusive Nintendo platforms, long before Sony ever arrived on the console scene. Such flag waving is out of the question these days. If Square like money, having games like FF across formats makes sense, especially with the way the global economy is.

So, pick up your wounded pride and get over FFXIII also being on 360.

As for Advent Children Blu Ray sales, its none other than those mega loyal japanese FF, PS3 owners that make this happen. Not surprised at all.

Also I still find amusement in the irony of Playstation fanboys laughing at the idea of mutliple discs...

One disc or four? Personally I couldn't care less so long as the game's good.

I bet there are people that still believe FFXIII will be exclusive to the PS3. Microsoft should probably take the effort to advertise. If MS doesn't advertise, I can easily see FFXIII selling some PS3's because people are unaware.

It really comes down to the controller for me. I prefer 3D games with the 360 and I prefer menu driven / fighting games with the dualshock.

Yep, I'll openly admit that I prefer the 360. If that makes me a fanboy, so be it. At least we 'xbots' are enthusiatic fanboys unlike the desperate fanboys with inferiority complexes that the PS3 has bred in some quarters.

Seriously though, it seems Square Enix's decision to give the xbox FF, is an economic decision. Afterall, these guys want money for all their hard work, and why only settle for a third of the next-gen market, when you could get a sizeable amount from the other two thirds? On the multi-disc thing, I really don't think it will bother anyone - the odd bit of physical interaction with your console is not the end of the world; gets you off your lazy arse every now and; shake off the old pins and needles. Besides, it'll probably still be quicker than waiting for the PS3s long-arsed loading times. But that's just the reason I have no interest in FF - too much FMV. Boooooring.

squeenix would sell a ton of PS3's if they remade FF7 and released it alongside FF13. But thats just me.

Pfft. Whatever, I already have an external blu ray player. As for the Advent Child movie. Who HASN'T already watched it by now? Bunch of completionist...

Ok this got a little out of hand, but with this game what doesn't .

But I have a bone to pick with those who say extra disc's doesn't make a difference. It makes a huge difference but its always yelled by fanboys so people dismiss it without considering there might be truth behind it.

We would not have had that whole format war debacle if it didn't make a difference.the problem goes farther than just running out of disk space, not every games data can just be chopped in half and put on another disk, stats have to be carried over, satistics have to stay the same.then even if you can you limit the second disk because a nine gb disc is now a five gb disk thanks to all the data.Multi disks should only be used OCCAISIONALLY but with the 360 there starting to become more common placed.

Even if you can put the game on another disk that doesn't mean you can afford to.even if its just a little info on a disk that's another production line you must add to your dev cost( notice how the only people doing the multi disk thing is square "money bags" enix). A one disk production line will always be cheaper than two, and somtimes devs simply don't have the funds to make that extra disk so they cut both versions of the game so they don't ailienate the 360 fanbase.

DVD is not obsolete yet but were preparing the funeral, blu-ray is being adopted quickly for a reason.I wish the 360 had used blu-ray because it would have avoided most of the problems its about to face.

Now will all that I stated affect this game,I dunno, I haven't seen any evidence that it will and I hope I don't (that's why I'm keeping an eye on it) but I can't tell you the number of times I've gone" hmm it feels like somthinds missing here and the dev meant to add somthing else, I wonder why he didn't".

@Unassumin: Very. Royalty fees are per disc, not as a whole. Unless you know you're going to sell 2 million plus, you don't want to go more than two discs, otherwise your ROI will begin to plummet. Even worse is that royalty fees on the 360 seem to be higher than that of the PS3 since many companies last year showed much higher profit margins for their PS3 sales in comparison to other consoles.

Just like RE5, I know tons of folks who have both systems but are getting it for PS3 because: "I've always played it on that system and it feels weird not to."

Don't know what difference that makes, nor do I care. All I know is that I'm getting it on PS3 and I am going to have fun playing it.

@ Syn: That made me giggle...
@ brainderailment: Yes they are, that's why we love them!

@ Everybody who explained why multi-disk is bad: I thank you good sirs/madams, you have opened my eyes.

Would have been soooooooo good though for Kojima if he'd put in the load of extras he meant to in MGS4 just by adding an extra disk.

@ BlackNexus


While you make a number of good points I'd like to also point out that these problems are or can be alleviated to a certain degree by the presence of a hard-drive. Also it's not always difficult to cut games up into separate discs, some games are perfectly suitable for this.

As a whole though you do, as I mentioned earlier, make some good points - particularly regarding cost problems.

Hahahah... why do people have stupid loyalties to these huge corporations? I think I'm the only person commenting that seems to have a loyalty to the DEVELOPER who is actually responsible for producing the game that I play.
