Fake.

 

[Gargantou]

Fake but still funny.

 

[VictimOfScience]

Yeah, this is really not something to be proud of but there are many many people around the Net that are acting like idiots about this. Get over it (and focus on White Knight Chronicles :E).

 

[CyberPitz]

Rofl, this guy reminds me of a couple people I know. How crappy is that?

 

[Saturos]

The sky is falling.

Never though I'd ever see the day Sony loses one of it's biggest exclusive franchises to M$. Guess we all should've seen it coming though, what with the poor PS3 sales and all.

He's reading GameFAQ's PS3 Hardware board!

****ing hilarious.

Never thought I'd see the day $ony lose a franchise to Microsoft.

The 360 version is going to be the crapper version of a crap game. Amirite?

No way it can get any crappier.. I doubt it'll be much different. Maybe the controls.

It's a port to be done at the same time as rest-of-world localization once the Japanese are done with it with the view to a simultaneous platform release. So the 360 version will either be rushed by the PS3 version, or the PS3 version will be hugely delayed whilst they pull the 360 up to scratch. But then a game "indirectly influenced by the pace and spectacle* of Square Enix's animated film, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" has never sounded particularly promising anyway.

*Surely "goes nowhere, very quickly"?

Your assuming they just made this decision to put it on 360.
FF13 runs on the "Crystal Tools" engine, which was developed for PS3, 360, Wii, and PC. Shouldn't be any big porting problems.

Um, they did. :thumbs:

Here's the basic information we know about the U.S. release of FFXIII (for both PS3 and Xbox 360): It'll ship after the PS3-exclusive release in Japan, and Square Enix is attempting to minimize the window between the Japanese release and the North American (and subsequently, European) release. The Xbox 360 version is being ported by a different team than the core FFXIII PS3 team, and since the agreement with Microsoft has just been established, porting has, as of this moment, not yet begun.

I'd imagine they'll have to put it on several dual-layer DVD9s. Porting is going to be more of a pain than we can imagine. FFXII wasn't exactly my thing, so I'm hoping this tickles my fancy a bit more.

 

[WhiteZero]

Um, they did. :thumbs:

When the agreement took place is irrelevant, it's more than possible they were already working on it for 360 before the licensing was finalized.
Especially considering the game engine was developed to be cross-platform.

Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of XII. It was a good game, don't get me wrong, I just enjoy active timed battles. I wish I had a PS3/360 for this game

From what I've seen, it looks like a semi-classic style of combat is in XIII. Not sure though.
