as everyone knows today is the start of E3 and Microsoft announced a bombshell.....Final Fantasy 13!

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36239.html

The Game will only come to the US and Europe in both platforms. So anyone glad they don't have to buy a PS3?

That doesn't do me any good, lol. I was hoping it would somehow still be on PS2 (a fool's hope, right?). Well, it is cool, but either way I'm going to have to buy a new system. Looks like a breath of fresh air though, compared to XII. It's nice to see the summons I've come to know and love make a comeback. Excluding Crisis Core, they haven't seen the light of day since X(-2).

I'm glad it's coming to the 360. Whether people want to admit it or not, Xbox 360 is THE home console for RPGs now, and PS3 is taking over all the sports games. I wouldn't have bought a PS3 to play FFXIII, of course; it's not my favorite series, but definitely one of the best.

That is true, but it is such an odd turn-around. Anyone have any notions on why the consoles pretty much swapped their primary genres? Playstation was always the primary RPG-console, if I remember right, and X-Box was all about sports and games targetting frat boys, lol. It is just weird that with the next-gen consoles, everything turned around. My world is shaken!!

I guess that makes me happy that it is on the 360. I don't have either but I have lots of friends at school who have a 360 so I'll play it in their room.....its a fair trade for letting them use my projector

Yeah, but that's what they said about Final Fantasy and Nintendo back in the 90s.
I for one am happy that I don't have to get a PS3. I like the 360s now. Especially since I already have an Xbox Live account and a few games and the HD cable (got it to hook up my roomate's 360 to my HD TV)!

You are referring to it having become Square-Enix instead, right? Yeah, I can see how that is a factor.

I definitely am happy about this, because if you look at the content and specs of the 360 vs the PS3, the 360 is far superior. A lot of what the PS3 is finally coming out with is stuff the 360 or even the Wii has already done. So it's no surprise that SquareEnix went to the 360 for their next FF title.

Sayda · « **Reply #13 on:** July 17, 2008, 12:21:14 pm »

Ahahahaha, that poor PS3 is going down the drain.
I am PUMPED for FFXIII now; I wasn't before, but now that it's coming out on the 360, life in the gaming world is pretty good.
Square-Enix probably figured their game would sell more copies if it were for a more successful consule.

Since I haven't kept tabs on this game, considering I thought it was only for PS3, but now that it's not limited.. when is its release date?

Why must the PS3 be getting such a poor wrap?!? I have been a sony loyalist since Playstation and I can see the pros for all the other consoles too, but I just don't want to see my console of choice go down in flames as it seems to be doing. I haven't read enough on it I guess, because I really don't know why the whole world seems to be rejecting the PS3. Thoughts? enlighten me, please, lol

They lied about the rumble feature in the controllers and cost more than the other two combined.
Mostly though, my only reason for buying the PS3 would be the games that are on it. Any game that made me want a PS3 has also come out on the 360 so far.

IMHO, games are what make up the video game industry, not the consoles. Picking consoles is like picking the next president, and the games would represent the achievements. Look back at the great presidents that did great things. Are today's candidates running for the same noble cause, or just say, "Haha! I'm the president!"

Same with console wars. You can look back at the greatness of the previous generations, aka their games. But it's not guaranteed that it's next runner up is going to be spectacular. I loved Sony back in the day; I have well over 100 RPGs for the PS1 alone, which is more than all my other systems combined so far. But if their industry isn't going to pander to my tastes, I'm going to find the next best thing. My favorite console is the SNES. I still have it out to play Uniracers, Starfox, and many RPGs. Nintendo and Sony's consoles just don't have the games I'm looking for NOW, though.

Simply put, it's not about loyalty to the company console. Don't worry about the flaming from the fans; it's an ignorance thing.

That's a great viewpoint and explanation. I really do need to simply learn more about the new wave of consoles and games thereon. I keep holding the image of Golden Age Playstation, and I guess I have had a sort of tunnel vision as far as Sony is concerned. I like to remember what I love and then I kind of quickly forget or don't pay attention to anything that less than wow'd me, heh. But thanks for your input, it's helpful.

PS3 vs Xbox 360 Comparison

allstarsniper32 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 12, 2008, 04:39:05 pm »

I, for one, am disappointed about FF XII being on the 360. To me it means Squarenix sold out. Everyone needs money though so whatever I just refuse to buy it for the 360, I'm still going to get a PS3 for Disgaea 3, MGS4 and uh...oh free online play. I still wish I would have bought a PS3 instead of a 360, stupid me.

If they were not already sell outs... how does one explain them ditching nintendo for sony in the 90s?

Everyone in the game writing field prefers to use the 360... because it is easier to program. The PS3 processor is a stripped down six core unit, something more suited for research than gaming. While PS3 may be more popular, making games for 360 is easier, so that is why we see multi-console games coming out for the xbox 360 first.

It'll likely always be that way until multi-threaded programing becomes more mainstream.

for those who want RPGs, the DS seems to be king actually. I don't know the actual numbers, but at rpgamer.com, the DS looks to have more games coming out for it then the 3 new consoles combined(which look rather equal otherwise).

@matt
that video comparision seems to have some strong bias for the PS3. claiming Home is a new creative game is a lie as its really just a virtual world like Second Life and that 360 has nothing but war themed FPS is also false(Blue Dragon, Dead or Alive 4, Elder Scrolls 4 are examples).

dshwshr55 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 13, 2008, 06:46:02 am »

The DS may have a lot of RPGs, but for role-players it's not about how many RPGs are on the system. It's about how many RPGs that they want to play that are on the system.

Seraph · « **Reply #29 on:** September 13, 2008, 08:04:26 am »

@dshwshr
that may be true, but just something people may want to consider as a lot of people were commenting on past systems that were like the a RPG mecca of their age. so I'm just just saying what seems to be the current one.
the console wise, they all seem to have the same number of rpgs, so its will likely boil down to a specific title(PS3:that other FFXIII, 360:Fable 2or Star Ocean Wii: Crystal Chronicles,Tales of games) or system perferance.

mattstotts46 · « **Reply #30 on:** September 16, 2008, 07:54:46 pm »

Im not saying that the 360 isn't a bad system. I'm just saying that FF13 would be better suited for it. If you look at what the people put on Metal Gear Solid 4 that is a lot of stuff to cram on. I think they crammed too much stuff in because they couldn't add in the rumble feature. 360 does have a lot more rpgs but i'd like to play FF13 on the PS3 over the 360.

can't wait to see the summons in action and which others they will bring back ^.^ needless to say the summons in ff xii were disappointing because they were all new and i didn't know any of them from previous games... it's always been fun to see the summons from other games come back in new forms, to see the transformations and such. and so far, ff xiii is giving me that satisfaction of seeing the summons i love brought back in new and exciting ways ^.^

Let's see, which summons would I hope for....

- Diablos
- Bahamut
- Fenrir
- Cthulhu! (It's never been in a game...so why not do it now?!)

for those who want RPGs, the DS seems to be king actually.

Despite the fact that almost every DS game I've ever played gets boring about halfway through or has no replay value. An example would be The World Ends With You. It was amazing the whole way through. But once you beat it it kinda lost its magic. I will give it credit for being the only RPG I've played that had a clear+ feature besides Crisis Core.

Other than that, I pretty much regret shelling out the money for my DS. I never play it anymore and I don't see any games coming out that interest me. The only ones that might be good are just the DS version of any game that came out for every console available, like Wolverine and Ghostbusters. Both of which look absolutely TERRIBLE on the DS. I have Wolverine for 360 and it's amazing, but it looks horrible on DS. I can't say anything about Ghostbusters since I haven't played it but just comparing the back of the boxes is like comparing the NES and Sega Genesis versions of Ghostbusters. It was the same game, but the Genesis one was far superior. And it wasn't just the graphics that made it better, the gameplay was better as well.

eve and i went to the kinokuniya bookstore up in seattle and he got the "re:" 2008 square enix book featuring ff xiii (all 3 of them) among other things. and in it are a few spreads on summons in ff xiii, including the shiva sisters, ifrit, and carbuncle! ifrit looks amazing, as always, and carbuncle is just sooooo super cute ^.^ now i really really really can't wait for the game!

plus, we saw a demo of the first 14 mins of the game on comcast on demand, and let me just say, eve and i had our jaws dropped to the floor in awe. the battle system looks great! it seems to be combining some new aspects with some of the old, such as upon reaching an enemy, the screen changes for the battle, just like random battles. and it seems to be more turn-based than ff xii with a lot less automation and just all around more like the rpgs of yesteryear, just with some new twists that will keep it interesting >.O can't wait to see more previews! *dreamy sigh*

Oh yeah, totally agree with you, Kahlan. The game has me shivering with antici......pation (thanks, Frank-n-furter).

Yeah, Carbuncle looks sooo cute, and Ifrit looks like a beast, as always, but new and polished.

I just love everything I'm seeing about this game, man. I haven't anticipated a game like this since Crisis Core.....hmm, that was only last year, wasn't it? Guess it hasn't been that long after all, lol.

so, if summons are tied to certain characters, and snow has the shiva sisters, and it looks like lightning gets odin, who gets which summon? i bet vanille gets carbuncle, just cause she's young and cutesy looking, like carbuncle, lol. maybe sudz will get ifrit... but then, we don't know all the summons or characters yet, so it's hard to tell, hehe

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #47 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:18:04 pm »

Yeah, let's not forget only the Fal'Cie can summon, and the entire party may not be made of Fal'Cie. If that is the case, though, I could definitely see Sahz (Sudz...whatever, lol) having Ifrit. It would just make sense.
