Mad about FFXIII on Xbox 360? Rumor about PS3 Final Fantasy exclusive
Regret purchasing PS3 knowing Final Fantasy XIII is on Xbox 360? This whole thing is getting pretty ridiculous, with people complaining to high heavens it’s the end of the world as we know it because Final Fantasy XIII will be coming out on the Xbox 360.
Don’t forget folks Final Fantasy was originally on the Nintendo and you didn’t see them beating themselves up over it.
Over at Kotaku they are making fun of some poster who wrote a letter on a forum comparing his disappointment of Final Fantasy XIII going to Xbox 360 with his autism disability. Get over it guy, it’s not the end of the world.
So is it time to start feeling regret and remorse for getting a PS3 if the only reason for getting it was for Final Fantasy XIII?
The answer is of course no. If you’re that much of a Final Fantasy fan then you should be glad you have a PS3 because not only do you still get to play Final Fantasy XIII you also get to play Final Fantasy Versus XIII exclusive on the PS3.
Also another thing you have to consider is Final Fantasy XIII is being created on the PS3 first then once the PS3 version is complete the 360 development will begin. Basically porting over the game from PS3 to Xbox 360.
Historically ports suffer in quality over the original, it could be so insignificant it’s unnoticeable or it could be significantly noticeable like the PS3’s Orange Box. It’s not much but just throwing it out there for you PS3 fanboys.
Another tidbit that might comfort some of you unstable PS3 folks is according to 1UP’s podcast, Shane gets the scoop from the Final Fantasy XIII team at E3 that there maybe a possible announcement of an exclusive game for the PS3 at the Square Enix event in a couple months.
Apparently the news will be Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children related. So, all the whining PS3 fanboys stop your pathetic crying and cheer up because all is not lost.

Final fantasy is dog shite anyway, xbox can have it. Its a more than fair trade for bioshock!
July 20th, 2008
“Don’t forget folks Final Fantasy was originally on the Nintendo and you didn’t see them beating themselves up over it.”
Right, because Square kept advertising it as a Nintendo only game for years before changing their decision a few months before release; and in the process f’ing the North American and European gamers by making them wait – potentially for a year or more – for the other system’s port to be ready.
July 20th, 2008
thankyou mike, this article is helping me grieve our loss….wait this isnt metal gear solid 4 he’s on about….AND we get bioshock.
July 20th, 2008
I look at it this way… Square is using the 360 to subsidize a PS3 game; not only that, the PS3 version is getting exclusive content, which includes download add-ons the the 360 won’t get. I’m also wondering how many discs the 360 version is going to have… LOLZ
July 20th, 2008
I also forgot to mention, Sony owns 9% of Square… meaning, 360 fanboys are going to be giving Sony some $$s
July 20th, 2008
HAHAHA what an article!! Mike forgot to mention that PO$3 cannot handle 360 ports, such as Orange Box. 360 can handle PO$3 ports quite easily with little to no loss in quality, such as DMC4 and Burnout Paradise.
But hey, if it makes you feel better about it, spin it any way you like! It doesn’t deter the fact that your article is full of holes.
July 20th, 2008
Right on Dan…
July 20th, 2008
don,t mind anyway have both machines both have pro’s and con’s but i play my xbox a lot more due to better games and better online thats why i pay for it. MGS4 sony fanboy’s stop pulling ya pud its a great game but not long enough played it and is now put aside just consider ourselves lucky we both have OBLIVION with multiple hours and replay.Fallout 3 is the only true great game to come out this year?Gears2 is gonna be awsome aswell as Fable2.Did not like the sony’s showing at e3 with just snippet’s of FMV and bugger all gameplay typical bloody sony ive had all the machine you can think of and Sony every year Show FMV and next to no gameplay the only real sony game im getting chuffed about is the 256 player war game which for the life of me i can’t remember the name but won’t hold my breath cos it might not come out till the end of the ps3 lifespan. So come on fan boy’s im not taking side’s here but there seems to be more angry sony fanboy’s than all the other fanboy’s CHEER UP otherwise if you can’t post ya email so i can send you a rope!!
July 20th, 2008
….It was a pretty big shock that FFXIII was going to the xbox 360, but hey this is actually good in a way. After that announcement Square Enix’s share costs rose 5%. That’s a good thing – that way they have more to invest in one game called Final Fantasy Versus XIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn right, a ps3 exclusive – Tetsuya Nomura confirmed it and his whole team and so did Square Enix reps. It’s going to make FFXIII look like utter shit. Also if this rumor of FFVII remake coming to ps3 is true………then well I think it would be even better cause they would have more to invest in that game.
July 20th, 2008
Both 360 and ps3 are cool to have. why not have both? with the 80gig price drop and the 360 price drop, you can have both.
so stop riding dicks you fanboys!!!
July 20th, 2008
How sad, for all you haters out there. You can keep your so called supper computer that has only 256MB ram, & the system cant even handle 120Hz refresh rate, it only does 60Hz. Top if of, PS3 fans are more exited for Bioshock then GS5 or 6 or is it 9…. Mike, go do a real interview before you right an article, your embarrassing yourself.
July 20th, 2008
Newsflash :- Square Eniz developes all of its products on PCs then ports and optimises them on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
PCs are far more powerful and have better developement tools!!!
July 20th, 2008
dear hairy sackbreath…
there isnt a game that the 360 and PS3 cant handle… the only game I think the 360 cant handle is MGS 4.. thats only because of the blu ray disk… not because it doesnt have the same specs as the PS3…
If the Orange box isnt the same in PS3 than the 360… then thats the developers fault… they couldnt properly uutilise the PS3 hardware… not because the PS3 “couldnt” run it…
but then again… youre the next kevin… he thought GTA 4 would look better on the 360… even though pretty much all the reviewers said they looked identical…
meh whatever… GOD OF WAR !!!
July 20th, 2008
Wow, I can’t believe some people are being such dicks over this. I have a 360, and I wanted to get a PS3, one of the reasons being Final Fantasy XIII. Now I won’t need it as much, I’ll probably wait another year until it’s even cheaper and when all the big are out.
One thing I’m glad to know is that the port most likely won’t be bad. PS3 games port pretty easily to Xbox 360. Just look at Burnout Paradise, and what the dev team had to say.
July 20th, 2008
Darkwhitehair is blaming lazy developers!! That line never gets old. You $ony fanboys crack me up.
July 20th, 2008
maybe because its true?
Not all PS3 games have the bad framerates and other problems that plague a few select titles. Those few select titles are because of lazy developers.
Really, is that too hard to understand?
July 20th, 2008
EA said themselves they aren’t great at porting to ps3 and plan to improve. COD4 did fine, did it not?
July 20th, 2008
Final Fantasy and GTA will be 360 from now on. I suggest all you Sony fan boys go hug your bluray player, rock back and forth chanting.. We are still number one.. We are still number one. Then get a good nights sleep. Us 360 fans will set new sales figures for FF… just to make sure that FF has a new home on the 360.
July 20th, 2008
I use my PS3 to watch Groundhog day… Over and over again
It never get old.
July 20th, 2008
Jay, that is really pathetic buying a game out of spite
July 20th, 2008
when did I call the developers lazy hairy??
you gotta stop putting words in my mouth… like you try to put kevins hairy sacks in your mouth.. hehe I just pulled a CAD.. again…
the point Im trying to make is… do you know why the newer games tend to look better on the consoles??? thats because the developers try to find new ways to push the consoles hardware to the limit… thats why the later games on the 360 looks better than the previous ones.. otherwise they would all look like gears of war…
this means that it takes the devs some time to get familiar with the consoles specs…
but then again… with all the half assed sports games out there… some developers ARE lazy.. Im lookin at you FiFA 2007…
July 21st, 2008
@ jay….
Jay ur a dumbazz sayin FF games will be on both the 369 and the PS3.. Did u read the article?? FF 13 Verses will be a PS3 exclusive and there will be an announcement about another PS3 exclusive FF game… also wtf are u talkin about GTA will be on both from now on?? GTA IV was the last one, there are no more coming out u jackazz!! Plus rockstar said they signed a deal with sony so their next 3 games will be sony exclusives!! Go do ur research lil man… and btw, I own a PS3, but I don’t give a damn about sony or microsoft!!
July 21st, 2008
It’s really not a big fucking deal, it’s really just a pride thing!! Cuz every1 that has a PS3 will buy FF and everyone that owns a 360 and and PS3 will buy for the PS3. As we all have seen over the past months, non-exclusive titles have been developed 1st on the PS3 then the 360. And as EVERYONE has seen when this has been done the gameplay, graphics and generally everything is better on the PS3. So it’s really not a big deal at all, and everyone knows 360 players are not FF fans anyways. FF is a PlayStation game through and through!!
July 21st, 2008
darkwhitehair: – U obviously dont own a PC u retard, or else u would know that games like Crysis Core CANNOT run on the consoles. And the reason why MGS4 cant run on the 360 is not just coz of the blu-ray. Even if u had the game it would not run as smooth due to how they’ve developed the game using the cell processor!! And please, trust me sales for FF will not be bigger on the 360. FF is coming out in TWO YEARS!!! By that time, in Europe your machine will almost be dead (which it already is in Japan), and the world knows the highest sales of FF will be in Japan and Europe NOT America. So u can keep on dreaming about ‘creating a new home for FF’. The only ‘home’ u will be creating for it will be in the gutter where your machine will be slowly dying!
July 21st, 2008
i hate when people sit at a computer and type something and they think people will believe them, mulitplateform games look the same on both consoles, call of duty 4 looked the same, gt4 looked the same, maybe a few diffrences, thats about it. name one game that looks way better on a diffrent system, and another thing that pisses me off when a xbox 360 game looks a bit better all ps3 fans carry on and say they are lazy developer, freaken hell, who care, they cant help that the ps3 is freaken hard to port too.
get over it, ff is on the xbox 360 now!!!!
and i wont be buying it anyway because there are better game coming out on the xbox like fable 2, and gear of war 2, fallout 3, i hate to tell everyone but jrpg suck anyway
July 21st, 2008
Oh gee let’s think… maybe it was when you were blaming the developers of Orange Box? Different words, but they were the same meaning.
You boys just can’t handle me. I point out your hypocritical nature constantly, and you have no retort but to call me names. Goes to show your mentality.
July 21st, 2008
now now hairy, no one likes a person with his head ups ones arse now do they?
July 21st, 2008
darkwhitehair; Your points of view are completely overshadowed by the fact that you are so grammatically challenged. Try a Semi-colon, or Comma instead of beating the shit out of Ellipses.
July 21st, 2008
Hey, why dont you all just buy both systems like I did and play all the exclusive games they come out with. If you are a real gamer, you buy lots of games, so buying a console just for the exclusivenes of one is just simply stupid fanboism. Get both systems and quit yer whinning!!

Just to let you know, GTA4 Graphics were given to PS3 in the Begining but the more it got played the more the 360 became the favor for GTA4 in the graphics Deptartment. Look it up.
July 21st, 2008
This is great for all gamers and very very good for Square’s pockets. Now Square will have more capital to develop even more games.
robb- Bad PS3 framerates and so on do not just come from lazy develping. The Cell processor is very hard to code and program games for. The Cell requires tons of extra coding to get the exact same result as a 360 game so it’s more of a waste of time factor then lazy.
Developers are pressed for time to make game after game, they can’t waste 3-6 extra months on every multi console game.
Don’t get me wrong, I have a PS3, I like my PS3 and the Cell is great, but it’s just a pain in the ass to program for.
July 21st, 2008
ha haaa i like bioshock too,this game is gay anime crap that only fags love.
July 21st, 2008
Serg
your a idiot,ps3 has more ram,u know nothing so just be quiet your burning your self.
everybody know ps3 is the most powerfull console out there,even scientists.
Just so you know that the PS3 has 512MB of RAM (256 for video and 256 for system
this(120Hz refresh rate) is BS from 360 fan boys like u.
ps3 ports to 360 are better cuz the ps3 is better,not because 360 is better u morons.
July 21st, 2008

COD4 was made on ps3 and ported to 360.
July 21st, 2008
Jay
no your wrong GTA4 was on 360,the next vice city and san andreas will be on ps3.
devs said so,so u can just be quiet.
tgrass21
the cell is actually eazier than ps2,and it no longer has issues with developers and its alredy surpassing the power of the 360,even if u dont want to believe it.
July 21st, 2008
Just a basic look in to ps3 and x360 hardware Ok, first of all the ps3 cell processor has 1 core and 7 cash extensions. The Xbox 360 Xenon processor has 3 cores, each of the cores has two symmetric hardware threads for a total of six hardware threads. OK, GPU, the PS3 GPU has 24 pixal pipelines, polygon count:366.66 million polygons per second, maximum vertex count: 1.1 billion vertices per second, 2-sample anti-aliasing. The Xbox 360 GPU has 48 pixal pipelines, polygon count: 500 million polygons per second. maximum vertex count: 1.5 billion vertices per second, 4-sample anti-aliasing. Memory (RAM), the ps3 haves a max of 512mb RAM BUT only 256mb of it for graphics, games. The Xbox 360 haves 512mb of RAM for graphics, games, and thats how the X360 can do more hi-rez textures then the ps3.In fact the X360 is more then double the PS3 power.
July 21st, 2008
Jay-MGS 4 is barely better looking then the original Gears of War and MGS 4 ONLY HAS 5 ACTUAL HOURS OF GAMEPLAY.
Cinematics are easy to obscure so you can not compare those when dealing with games. I love MGS4 but I also know alot about it and people need to stop thinking PS3 is soo much more powerful because it’s NOT from a gaming standpoint.
July 21st, 2008
Oops I meant that for fagboys
July 21st, 2008
personally I dont have any like for the Final Fantasy series, but as a 360 owner it feels like some kind of triumph over the Sony’s legendary arrogance.
July 21st, 2008
Hey fagboys make me sick,
Shut up. The PS3 does not have more RAM; the PS3 and 360 both have 512MB. The difference is that the PS3 splits it so that the Cell gets just 256MB, and the RSX graphics processor gets 256MB. With 360, the RAM is shared by both the CPU and GPU, so if you have a game that needs 300MB of RAM for graphics, but just 212 for the rest, then it’s actually possible.
July 21st, 2008
i can’t think of anyone over 12 years old that even cares about ff anymore… the loss of the name to the ps3 is funny, but as a 360 owner, i feel safe in saying we don’t need it….
July 21st, 2008
Kev,
I care about FF….
-Arvis
July 21st, 2008
This is a good thing for the 360, understanding the fact it still uses the same cd drive as the last generation systems and must still be programmed as if it does not contain a hard drive. This could prove too many programmers what can be done with fewer resources and might set a higher standard. Square Enix has put a lot of time into this title and should not exclude 20 million other systems. Personally, I have all systems and will be buying this for PS3 for the same reason I bought Orange Box for the 360. Just a thought.
July 21st, 2008
arvis – i stand corrected..
July 21st, 2008
Arvis- your still getting FF and Kev said he wasn’t going to buy it, so you’ll be ok.

wooow u thikn 360 is 2 x more powerfull than the 360,HHAHAHAH AHAAHAA HAAAA.
then why dint scientist use the 360? ohh ya you alwasy say BULLSHIT.
pse is useing 40% on the games that just came out.360 is alredy at 90% and is ding the same thing as the ps3’s 40% power.
yea u do the math,moron ps3 is more powerfull.
the 360’s Xenos has a unified pipeline, that means that each of the 48 shaders can do either pixel or vertex operations. This means that generally the Xenons can be pushed to the “MAX”, with all 48 shaders busy, rather than on the PS3 where some of its fixed shaders are likely to be unused YET and “surpass Xenons.”
The PS3 was designed for the SPE’s to supplement graphical processing, so the PS3 is capable of producing better graphics than the Xbox 360.

no more delays and frame issues becuse of the dumb 360 ports.
A lot of it is to do with the fact that when all the game teams around the world started work on console games they ended up making a 360 version before a PS3. So tools and technologies were there to support 360 in advance of PS3, and the investment required to do both is obviously an up front cost, and it takes a little while to catch up,and now devs are turning to ps3 like COD4,burnout,fifa09,bf:bc and all other games to come will be made in ps3 first and it will look better.
so cry u xbox fanboy CRY ha ha ha haaaa.
July 21st, 2008
fagboy make me sick and tgrass21, ill like to know where do u get your bulls%it facts from, from your arse maybe. you talk pipeline, shaders you have no idea what your saying. why the hell do people argue about what console better, do u think tgrass is gonna say “you know fagboys make me sick, you are right, the xbox is weak”. no its not gonna happen. its pretty sad its like two kids fighting over who would win in a fight between superman or neo?
(by the way superman would kick neo’s arse)
July 21st, 2008
….you know what guys, you’re right. I’m sorry. Do you accept my apologies? I’m the biggest fag on here who talks shit, but doesn’t back up my statements with logical truth. I know I’m a loser but I’ve had my head stuck in Sony’s ass for so long. Please excuse my retardedness.

There is not a single Xbox 360 gamer (who knows their shit about consoles) who would agree to your BS about the Xbox 360 being the more powerful system. Not a single one! But their argument is not the power of their system. And to be honest… they have valid arguments. I personally own a PS3 but I have nothing actually against the Xbox360.
1 : “PS3 cell processor has 1 core and 7 cash extensions” : First off…. its CACHE. But you may have over looked that spelling. I know I do that shit alot. But if you didn’t and you think thats how it is spelled… then you should not be discussing tech specifications about anything. Also…the ONE core you are referring to… thats a PPE. Its a two-way multi threaded core which acts as a CONTROLLER for the 8 total Synergistic Processing Elements or SPE’s. Thats right Synergistic Processing Elements… the part of the cell that you mistakenly or moronically called “Cash Extensions.” First off… CACHE EXTENSIONS are not used to describe the Cell anywhere that I know of. If you have a source… I would love to see it.
A Synergistic Processing Element consists of the following :
* An SPU (Synergistic Processing Unit)
* A Memory Flow Controller or MFC (DMA, MMU, and bus << Probably where you fucked up calling it a “Cash Extension”
Guess what… the SPE is a PROCESSOR! Which uses a CPU design strategy called RISC. These processors use a 128bit Single Instruction, Multiple Data organization. EACH SPE has 256 KiB embedded SDRAM AND can support up 4GB of local storage memory! 4GB man! You have 7 of these bad boys active! And the PPE computes instructions to! They just compute different types floating point values (as is my understanding). The 7 SPEs handle most of the computational workload, NOT the one PPE… as stated by you..the PPE acts as a controller for the SPEs. Research your Cell Processor facts before you open your mouth and insert your foot in it.
NOTE: There are actually 8 SPEs.. One is disabled to improve chip yields. In case one SPE fails. Also it is important to note that one SPE is used for the PS3 OS.
2 : “Polygon count:366.66 million polygons per second, maximum vertex count: 1.1 billion vertices per second” : Good job on the 366.66 million polys per second… except for one small thing… you FAILED to mention that this is the minimum (worst case) polygon count! Whats the max you may ask? The maximum polygon count is 886 million and sometimes more depending on how many triangle strips are used in a game. The PS3 GPU has a poly count potential of 386 million more than the max on the 360. Again..does this means that the 360 sucks? Not saying one way or the other… but GET your SHIT straight. You cant just post the max poly count for your 360 and min. poly count for the PS3 just because it supports your biased view. Someone is going to find out you are full of shit. Oh and the 1.1 billion max. vertex count… its Maximum vertex count: 1.6 billion vertices per second.
So tgrass21… get your facts at least somewhat straight. Everyone else… if I’m wrong… thats fine.. prove me wrong and I will gladly bow down. I did the best I could to convey my point here…but I may have overlooked something.
And now for my last point : Now I say this with all due respect but…Shut up…. You guys fight over which console is the best and if sales are any indication for who is kicking ass then you are BOTH wrong… because Nintendo’s Wii is just, kicking ass! in the market… but do you see anyone bragging about it in this forum at all? No… because they are out enjoying their Wii. (Weak Statement I know..but it works) True gamers DONT/SHOULDN’T CARE!
To take this point home I refer to this comic strip : http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=142

Scinetest used PS3 becasue the Cell processor is more of a computing device then a game processor.
The Cell CAN’T be used 100% by the PS3 because it’s super calculater, not a game processor, it’s just average.
You have no clue what you are talking about. You truely are a fagboy.

Tgrass,
Wow, what a vicious rebuttal. You make other 360 fans ashamed.

prediction.. the ps3 will crank out some pretty impressive games before all is said and done. METAL GEAR is a pretty good indication of its potential. SONY seems to have a pretty ambitious plan for its software with RESISTANCE and now MAG with its coop/multiplayer specs. lets just hope potential translates into results.
