Why not, they did a PC version of FFVII, and I think FFVIII as well.
I agree. Take the Capcom approach.

Lion Heart said:I agree this is a huge game for MS, but it does NOTHING for next gen as you can see with this gen. How does securing now, secure later?? Did you learn nothing from sony
Ravidrath said:Apparently there will be exclusive summons to each version.
PS3 will have Diabolos, and he will transform into a PS3.
360 will have Garuda, and she'll turn into a 360.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXIII for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFXIII for 360 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

There's still a lot of fun stuff coming out. The loss of FFXIII as a PS3 exclusive is a very big blow, but they've still got their own great exclusives just like MS.

duckroll said:Announce FFVII remake, have a 10 min FFXIII stage gameplay demo, and announce FFXIII for PS3 in December for Japan.
If we don't get to see any gameplay soon I really wonder when this game will be out. Are they just rendering crazy amounts of cutscenes or what?Snaku said:I think that's the news that pisses me off the most about this whole situation. They've been hammering on for months about simultaneous worldwide releases, and now the rest of the world is yet again doomed to wait at least 10 months for localization.
Paracelsus said:Now, I have a question for you guys.
Take it lightly, please. Please.
If you were in Sony's shoes, would you have the "bronze face" to stand there, right in front of the public, and show the same old stuff we all people know is exclusive to the PS3 just because it is feckin first party? Would you have the guts to show R2, KZ2, MS2 and Home once again?
I'm not expecting anything from the Sony conference. The MS conference was kind of boring, just like last year. This time it had something slighly different though. Like, a Kill-a-ton. Or Kill-a-Sony, take it as you please.
Does Sony have something like that? What's left for them to do?
Seriously, what can Sony do that can actually happen to stop thousands of people from laughing hard at them later in the morning?
Now, I'm watching the Sony conference only to see if they actually have the courage to do a conference like last year.
Oh, I'm butt hurt. I think if any game should take advantage of Blu-ray to it's fullest it's FF13 and if they compromise that for the 360 port I'm going to be really butt hurt.gregor7777 said:No, you misunderstand me.
I mean you're fighting off any negative spin just a little too much in this thread. It's not spiteful or anything, but you give off an air of this not being a big deal yet at the same time I think you're the most butt hurt here.
Nothing personal, it's just my impression.

MidgarBlowedUp said:I just feel bad for Hardcore 360 owners when they realize the game doesn't have bald space marines and is in 3rd person. I feel even worse for Core owners.

Resident Guru said:I have both systems and will purchase the version that runs better (if there are noticeable differences).
Stop It said:I honestly cannot believe this, I know 360 has been courting jRPGs for a while now, and FFXIII is still exclusive to PS3 in Japan, but fuck me this is epic, I had 2 reasons for finally getting a PS3 in 2009, one was GT5, the other was FFXIII, reason 2 is now on 360.....GT5 better be awesome beyond belief.

this is correct, yes.Count of Monte Sawed-Off said:I think they said that they were developing the game on the PC before they moved it over to consoles, I think. But that probably does mean that there will be a PC version.
ymmv said:Ehh... did I miss a surprise announcement about FFXIII now being a 360 exclusive? FFXIII will come out for the PS3, nothing's changed in that respect.
traveler said:I guess the 360 really is the home for JRPG fanatics this gen- who would have believed it before? :lol
actually shane asked this question, more or less, and they made a joke about it. but it doesn't make a lot of sense to port down a next-gen game to the wii, as we all know.sphinx said:Is it absolutely impossible that the game will have turned into a 3 way multiplatform game?... I have this strong feeling inside that "FFXIII on Wii" will be announced tomorrow... ( please don't ban me, it's just a feeling ) SE knows they have a fanbase they have to "direct" in some way, they have to tell their fans where to go and then proceed to stablish themselves, like when they moved from nintendo to sony with FF7, if FFXIII is like "the bridge to reach a new town" would they move to miscosoft over nintendo??? I don't think so...
The worst thing now is that the PS3 isn't the lowest common denominator anymore.Squash said:Meh. The worst thing now is the US PS3 version will be delayed to port it to the 360 for a same day release.
otake said:you guys are getting hyped over something that while worth discussing, hardly warrants such talk.
this announcement is the Japaneses equivalent of gta4 coming to 360 except there;s no simultaneous release. this really only affects the american market where final fantasy ain't exactly as popular as gta.
it's cool that 360 owners get to play this game but no where near as significant as some of you are making it sound.

rotaryspirit said:So, people who can't read Japanese have to wait even longer for the game. Which means people who can play games in Japanese get that much longer to lord it over those who don't?
SIGN ME UP.
Search is downOldJadedGamer said:So where are the crow eating posts from people who said it would never happen?
I agree with you, actually. People would've just bought FFXIII, bought a PS3 and then sold the latter when they were done if FFXIII was the only reason for buying a PS3.Hero of legend said:WOW, it actually happened! :lol
I don't know what was worse for Sony, losing Monster Hunter 3 outright to the Wii, or this?
Actually, the former is bigger/worse.
