I'm going to predict that the 360 version will eventually be a timed-exclusive.

Yeah, unfortunately I wouldn't be suprised.

Even with the JP PS3 version coming out first no matter what?

 

[Prine]

Not interested in the game but happy about the announcement. Didn't ever think it was going to happen

 

[ShadyMilkman]

For people saying "360 swap discs lol" -

When did swapping discs become such an issue? I just passed the first disc of Lost Odyssey and it took me all of 15 seconds to swap and begin playing again.

Burn, I guess?

It's system wars shit, that's it. It's on 360 now, so they have to pick everything apart they can.

I think he's talking about the western version which would be a silly thing to do I think.

 

[AndresON777]

I doubt the ps3 version will have trophies, hopefully the 360 version will have achievements. I want to buy it on 360 just because of the fanboys even though i have a 60 gig ps3.

Trophies will be forced by then. It will have trophies.

360 versions would have to have achievements. Its a TCR.

 

[Zoe]

It's still possible it won't. The whole reason it's not enforceable immediately is because of games already in development. If enforcement is something that comes along during initial contracts, then that boat would have sailed long ago.

 

[Nolan.]

I'm not too sure about that bit I mean they haven't even implemented any motion features, not that i'm complaining just surprised.

 

[HolyStar]

WHAT?!

Yeah, it isn't some far off game. It is coming pretty soon guys.

 

[HolyStar]

Don't know why Microsoft gets shit for copying companies when Sony copied the Wii and the 360 with trophies. Which are kind of pointless if they aren't in every game.

 

[Narcosis]

Supposed to come out November in Japan of this year. That is what is says at 1up.

And 1up, through EGM, also said FFVII remake was definetly in the making about 1.5-2 years ago

lol

I don't like it because it's more opportunity for me to scratch discs

Though it's blown way out of proportion.

How relevant.

 

[BlueTsunami]

WHAT?!

I think hes going off the release date that 1up is listing for FFXIII (which is 11/15/08). I doubt its legit.

 

[Husker86]

Yeah, it isn't some far off game. It is coming pretty soon guys.

The only trailer we've seen is CGI.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

I just wanted to say how excited I am. Can't afford a PS3 for a long time, actually bought MGS4 and played it at my friends. Now I can just buy FF13 and play it on my 360. I don't care if I have to swap discs, I don't have to spend more money

Wow. Kojima thanks you, man.

 

[DataBot]

Come on you knew this was going to happen with sales of the PS3 .

It was inevitable.

I knew it.

Swapping discs started as an issue when FFVII came out (where non-Sony fans used 'swapping discs' as a negative point).

I remember actually using the 3 discs of FFVII as an excuse for my Father to purchase it for me. "Look Dad, it's basically 3 games for the price of one!"

It worked. :lol

 

[Larson Conway]

I can't be any happier that I opted to buy a 360. Always been an RPGamer and boy am I glad that 360 turned out to be the RPG console of this generation.

[Kafel]

People actually believe FF XIII won't have achievements ? :lol :lol :lol

 

[HolyStar]

Lets wait until TGS.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

FOR PLAYSTATION 3 only in Japan. :lol

Otherwise, amazing trailer. Nomchan facial expression was amazing.

maybe they really mean "FOR PLAYSTATION 3, only in japan"

 

[Future PhaZe]

Yeah, these trailers have really grown to be redundant.

The good thing at least is we should finally have a rock solid date for actual substantial new footage. I'd be shocked not to see anything new of quantity at TGS.

 

[Aru]

Wrong. The battle sequences (those with and without HUD) in that big tunnel and the forest sequence are in-game footage.

 

[DevilWillcry]

Don't expect to see anything 360 related with FF XIII at TGS. That event is for Japanese gamers and the Japanese 360 will not be seeing Final Fantasy XIII. But I'm sure the threads for the PS3 gameplay videos will still be loaded with comparison bullshit.

It is good I must say. A lot of jRPG action on the 360, but there seems to be one more problem the 360 has; no next gen Shin Megami Tensei.....................ouch.

Wada makes finalizations on multi-platform availability at E3. Wada unveils in-game content at TGS (and possibly a release date). Seems pretty logical to me.

 

[twinturbo2]

Like I said at Kotaku, the only way that the reveal would have been made of more win and good would have been if MS tacked on the "I. Drink. Your. MILKSHAKE!" scene from There Will Be Blood at the end.

:lol I knew this would happen.

 

[Y2Kev]

How do you know that? I mean, the forest sequence?

The battle sequences have always struck me as faked-- either rendered to spec or just complete mockups. I've held out hope, but....um...they spell Blizzard wrong. And you'd think, at least, that if it was real footage, they'd have fixed it somewhere over the course of the last two years.

I'm pretty sure they are mockups to show what they are aiming for. The battle sequence specifically is what, two years old now? No way would they have had the engine and battle system in that good of a state and not have shown us anymore in game footage from then to now.

That would be part of my argument if I were going to go into detail. I'm not saying the final game won't look like that, but I doubt that's running real time on any PS3 anywhere...I believed it was two years ago, though.

An the forest stuff looks way too good to be real time to me.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Holy shit. Never really saw that full trailer up close. E. Pic.

Why would we need anything 360 related considering they already explained the plan for both versions. Most people just want to hear about the game in general.

You better watch out man.

I got banned for a week back in 2006 for expressing my doubt that the trailer was real-time.

Didn't they just finish up the engine / toolset sometime this year?

 

[charlequin]

Really? Lols. I wonder who did that.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

i'd say target render at this point

also Lightning walking in that "jungle"

 

[Pai Pai Master]

The IGN interview says they are ready "start developing the game." How would there be any gameplay footage if that were the case?

Uh, clearly this part:

is not as good looking as this part:

 

[Zoe]

^ You might want to switch the order of those :lol

 

[jax (old)]

this close to japanese launch and no footage in a LOOOoooooong time. They better bring it on a TGS (whenever that is). also no, showing (?) of last remanent? SE is becoming a bit of a joke. Mistwalker has 2 upped them.

 

[{Mike}]

wat, blizzrad

 

[Y2Kev]

I understand it's not all FMV, Seiken. But I don't believe that "gameplay" footage is real time/in-game and not just a rendered to spec mock up.

 

[DuckRacer]

wat, blizzrad

it's a rad blizz

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Blizz is so rad.

I wonder what the in-game stuff (and the battle system set up) look like now. It's been years since we've seen anything, even any target-renders...

 

[btkadams]

wow... that looks shitty lol. good thing theyve basically just started developing it.

God damnit :lol
