More Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360/PS3 console war bullsh*t photo

I thought we'd gone through this all already? Despite being told multiple times that the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII won't affect the PS3 version, Square Enix still feels the need to reassure worried Sony fans who can't seem to stop whining about it. Thus it continues, with the studio saying there is "no chance" of the PS3 version being compromised.

Square Enix producer Yoshinori Kitase has donned riot gear and walked among the screeching masses, focusing on the common belief that the 360 version will require eight million DVDs to house the entire thing. Kitase states that no matter how many discs the game will need, it won't be a factor in the game's overall quality. 

"So we don’t know how many discs it’ll be housed on for 360, but there won’t be a chance that we’ll compromise anything because, oh it didn’t fit in the 360 discs so we’ll have to take it out of the PS3 version, or vice versa," he explains. 

The funny thing is, it doesn't really matter whether or not Square Enix has "nerfed" the PS3 version of the game, because we'll never know either way. Unless Squeenix explicitly says so, which it shan't, neither the 360 or PS3 fanboys shall find out for sure what has truly happened behind the scenes.

Nevertheless, they won't stop arguing about it, and Square Enix shall sit in the middle of the warring tribes, making a big fat wad of cash out of them both.

I'm not an FF fan, so I offer no good contributions.

Also, Sony fanboys deserve to be rounded up and have a brand on their cheeks to show this. No real relevence, I just hate Sony fanboys.

But then, I can understand their worrying. But thats what they get for having the highest console in terms of powerz and leetness. It'll likely be a case of either getting the multiplatform game the same as everyone else or not getting it at all. In most cases, at least.

aw come on Jim... what the hell!? you just gave me another excuse to re-re-repost this image :(



+ you keep forgetting one big factor, My friend in the other side mentioned that SE said only the PS3 version will have JP language available. So if this is true, doesn't this already imply that one system is getting [more] over the other one?

This game will probably be absolute shit and all of the fanboys will have jerked off in eachothers faces for a pile of crap.

@havoc
I think you should hate all fanboys, not just the one tied down to a specific console, it kinda makes you look like a fanboy when you say that (not that I'm saying your a fanboy, but that comment made you look like one).

Anyway square STOP TALKING, just show pretty trailers and screens and get a release date so I can pre order and I'll try to forget that this game was delayed for 7 centuries.

How does community nonsense like this do anything but breed dissatisfaction? When did gamers develop such an enormous sense of entitlement? Is 2009 to be the year of the bitch session?

Xbox version already affected ps3 version by delaying it.

@Black Nexus - agreed on all accounts. I only own a PS3 and a Wii, so I am, by proxy, a sony fanboy? Or am I a nintendo and sony fanboy? Or just a nintendo fanboy? OR am I the anti-360 fanboy? I'm so confused. I really couldn't care less what system I own; I got a PS3 as a gift, and the Wii as an impulse buy. If I hadn't received a PS3 as a gift, I guess I'd just be a nintendo fanboy, which would make my life so much easier.

However, it's obvious that when someone calls out a ps3 fanboy, that said person is most likely a 360 owner (see what I did there? I called someone who owned a system an owner and not a fanboy, amazing.) But the fact that a fanboy comment is made about a game that is coming to the PS3 and 360, just makes it infinitely more absurd.

But yes, please try to be an equal opportunity fanboy hater, brain, because they all suck equally.

Haha this is absolutely hilarious.

The 360 fanboys are trying to make outrageous claims like "the 360 version didn't delay the PS3 version" when it's already confirmed. I wish this was just on PS3, so we wouldn't have so many damn announcements and statements from Square about it. The review would have been out by now!

Uh...people complaining about the delays and just about everything do realize there are other games to play between now and FFXIII's eventual launch, right?

No. Until the launching of FFXIII the fanboys will be locked in a closet eating cheetos and drinking coke(and masturbating of course).

It doesn't really matter what is said. The PS3 fanboy will always blame any short comings in the game on the XBox 360 for having the game too. They did the same damn thing with GTAIV. Any flaws or faults, it was the 360's fault. That's how it will be for this too, no matter what. Even if they're identical on both consoles, they'll say the 360 version held the PS3 version back.

I delayed writing this comment so I could post it from another computer, does anyone notice the difference?

Hurf durf durf
I just wanna play this game on my PS3 and be glad that people on the 360 can enjoy it as well. I'd be pissed if one console got it while the other diddn't.

Since the game is slated for a Winter 09 release in Japan, and they said a Spring 10 release in the US, seems like the delay is (so far) quite negligible.

@mix - yes, yes I did. It was way more sarcastic from the computer you posted it from. I'm going to guess you were using a 64-bit Vista Home Premium machine with a Firefox browser? Next time try Linux; it comes boxed with 75% less sarcasm.

I still can't believe they would do this to us! I loved Final Fantasy 6 so much I bought 2 copies and then they have to go and betray us like this! Running off to Sony of all people? Who wants to play games on a walkman?! Sep 7th 1997 will be a day that we won't soon forget, Square!

Ya know, before the first gameplay footage was shown, I didn't think FF13 would be a worthwhile purchase. After the demo though, as long as it's on the same track in quality as the demo, then I won't care. Oh, and, the original Japanese voicetrack is nice too(I didn't like what I heard of the English voices at the E3 presentation).

Does it matter which is better? It'll sell alot more on the 360 anyway...

It doesn't make ANY sense to say that the 360 version will bring the PS3 version down. The PS3 version was completed, pretty much entirely, before 360 porting even started. From what I can gather, the decision to go multiplatform was probably made in the middle of PS3 production. Do people actually think that they would PREEMPTIVELY dumb down a game before even TRYING to port it to another system?

If the 360 can't handle as much as the PS3 (or vice versa), I think we'll still see some minor differences in the final releases.

The only thing that's changed is probably a slightly later US release date since they have to make the game from scratch on a completely separate system.

We'll never know if they nerfed it... Unless they tell us, like Rockstar did half way through GTAIVs development.

For me the fact they're making noise about it at all is the worrying thing, like Nintendo confirming 90% new content in Mario Galaxy - why would you say that?

You know what? I think I'm getting pissed that the PS3 version will hold the 360 version back! Yeah, I went there. Its true, multi-platforming will, theoretically, split the production team across the developing of the game across 2 platforms, so that means the Xbox is getting less than 100% as well! Sony, you've kept FF for too long now. Sharing is the best thing a company can do, ;)

Rosseh = LOLWIN.

The beauty of that is, like many multiplat games, GTA4 on the xbox was actually better than the Ps3 version, with higher framerates, less jagged polygons, and higher resolution, but nevermind, hey?

Oops, got sidetracked and didn't comment on the story.

My opinion is that it's FF for FS, so it will be shit on both consoles.. ;0)

Fanboy fanboy fanboy wah wah wah.

For fuck sake people, who gives a shit about being a fanboy!? Some of us like our PS3's, some us like our Xbox's. we enjoy arguing, we enjoy debating and we enjoy flaming each other, we're all, simply by coming to dorky sites like these, fanboys.

You know, the outside world, paints us ALL with the same brush - Geeks / dorks / nerds / losers.

Can't we all just get along?

Also, who cares about FFXIII? It's ALL ABOUT FFXIV! Bwahahahahaha.

I swear if I had a hammer that I could throw out into the sky and hone in and hit people posting in this thread. I would throw multiple hammers. Does it fucking matter?! It'll be done when it's done and THEN we can arguebitchmoan. FOR NOW, SHUT UP. SE said it only took them 2 months to make that build for the fight. TWO MONTHS. Obviously, it's not going to take that much effort to make the 360 version and they're probably working as fast as they can.
