The Final Fantasy XIII conspiracy: Why the controversy? O_O - FTP-Anime Forums

akibastyle · 02-09-2009, 07:24 AM

The article really pissed me off when I read it... Take a gander yourself and leave your two cents about multi-platforming...

The game was first unveiled as an exclusive to the PlayStation 3 platform at Sony’s E3 Press Conference in 2006. The US version of Final Fantasy XIII was also shown at this time. The game was to run on Square Enix’s proprietary White Engine that was specifically designed exclusively on the PlayStation 3 platform. It was slated to use four of the seven processors in the Cell processor just for graphics alone. The White Engine was designed according to world renowned developer Tetsuya Nomura (Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, The Bouncer, etc) to simulate battle sequences similar to Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete. He at one time via Famitsu stated that “all visions come true” when a game is exclusive. Also on his stance on the PlayStation 3 in regards to Final Fantasy XIII at that time being exclusive to that platform, Nomura stated via QJ.net “It’s not just about how pretty the graphics are but more of how much limited amount of movement we can put on one go and how big our imagination and ideas are. The PS3 is the machine that is closest to being able to express our imagination.”

Yeah I'm an Xbox 360 owner and even I am pissed about this. How can you even call it a port when you scrap what sounds like an awesome engine just so the game can run on the 360. That's not a port that's co-development.

akibastyle · 02-09-2009, 08:20 AM

It's still b.s. Even though they say they're committed to finishing the ps3 version, they want a simultaneous release for both versions which is crack to me.... Sony was the reason Square even got big and they ditched a quality game over a business decision... I'm just curious as to what's on the chopping block as far as content thanks to 360's limited capability... It's already gonna be a multi disk game for 360 smh

nnnmmm · 03-09-2009, 04:46 AM

I just want to know how many disks It's going to be on the 360

I'm betting 6

akibastyle · 03-09-2009, 04:55 AM

I'm hoping for 3 max... and that's being optimistic

Also wondering how much they're gonna dumb down the new Metal Gear for 360?
The ps3 version's gonna be like how they did the Ninja Gaiden series...

I don't mind them dumming down the 360 version if needed as long as the Ps3 version doesn't suffer because of it. That's my biggest problem with the FFXIII thing. It's like making athletes wear leg weights so people like me can compete with them.

akibastyle · 05-09-2009, 07:23 AM

They had to dumb down the ps3 version because it's the superior system between the two specs-wise... the biggest concern of mine is how much of the game will be chopped because of 360's limitations...

Companies should adopt the COD4 philosophy and have a team of programmers for each console so each can make the game based on their console's specific limitations.
