Wei, are you hoping for the Dreamcast 2?

I know I am!

It's a smart move by Square. Good thing it's not for PC though, mine would've choked

OMG, how many people here actually read anything in the threads they post in?



News Flash: Square-Enix has decided to jump in the console market and they are developing a next gen system currently known as the "Crystal Interactive Construct" (Crystiac). They are going to unveil the whole thing at the E3 in 2010.

Where did you get this from?

:rolleyes:

haha

how I regret ever making this thread :/

Hey guys, I have two pets. They are both dogs, their names are Ben and Rover.



No way. It's a great trap to identify the morons who are too dumb to read a thread before posting in it.
:(

Lols ebichu, i didnt notice you had made this thread. It reminded me of this


I thought Braska was the easiest FF boss ever? Tried going into battle with your whole party already into overdrive? Including Aeons?

(lol I posted in ff)

:)

The gaming market is about money today. If the PS3 is failing to generate cash for the third party developers, then they will go elsewhere. In short, if this is true, it wouldn't surprise me. However, it will give me reason to save my money, since most curret-gen games I play are on the PC. MGS4 would remain the only reason to get a PS3, and while I love the series, it's just isn't enough for the price tag of the console, or the game itself.

Lols ebichu, i didnt notice you had made this thread. It

Everytime I post in an FF forum, something goes wrong. This thread being a fine example.

I'm too scared to buy a nextgen console atm. I mean I play WoW a helluva lot and the rest of my time is spent on my DS.

I will wait a long time after FFXIII is realeased to decide which system to buy.

Isn't the title misleading? There is no confirmation at all that Sony lost exclusivity. The two big FFXIII's are both at the moment PS3 exclusives while there have been other FF's announced for other platforms (I think it was a cellphone game if I remember correctly).

/FACEPALM

?

Facepalm is Swami's new favorite thing to post for no real reason.

He took that from Prak, who actually uses it in proper context.

I was just confused. I don't see what is wrong with what Geyzer said. Its not like its a pointless revival. He had something worth while to say imo.

There is supposed to be a game for phones..Agito, iirc.

I dunno though, I'm not that bothered tbh.

I just dont think it will go multi platform.... I still think FFXIII will be PS3 solely because the Xbox 360 disks cant hold that much. Case and Point MGS4 has filled a dual layer Blue-ray disk so thats why you wont see it... unless you dont mind disk changing?

About MGS4 filling a dual layer Blu-Ray disc... where has that been stated?

The only thing I've heard was they couldn't add the Japanese voice-overs because there wasn't enough space. So this leads me to believe there's space left, just not enough to duplicate hours and hours of dialogue.

Gotta be a few gigs, no?

About MGS4 filling a dual layer Blu-Ray disc... where has that been stated?


A lot of blogs and Gaming news sites wrote about Kojima saying that in an interview.

I think it turned out to be a translation error, though.

I thought that was about him "bashing" the PS3?

If I had a dollar for everytime Kojima got misquoted, I could have been loved long time.

So... "figh dollah"?

Kojima: That's correct. There's not enough space at all. (laughs) ...There's not enough space. We always talked about where to cut and what to compress.

I find that hilarious, actually, what with Kojima saying on one hand that he's not too big on the whole HD thing and wants his game to look great on SDTVs, then on the other hand trying to crank out super HD cutscenes.

Link to the quote?

Kojima Doesn't care about HD? (http://kotaku.com/gaming/kojima/kojima-doesnt-care-about-hd-interested-in-wii-225925.php)

Kojima says Blu Ray disc doesn't have enough capacity? (http://kotaku.com/362807/kojima-says-blu+ray-disc-doesnt-have-enough-space)

Kojima interview lost in translation? (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/12/rumor-metal-gear-solid-4s-kojima-explains-ps3-comments/)

Kojima should really have an English speaking representative. :-X

He did say there isn't enough capacity on the disc. As far as HD graphics go, I don't think Kojima doesn't know what he wants. If he's going to work on a system, he's going to use the capacity of that system.

He may not be "interested" in doing HD games for the sake a doing a HD game, all the while wanting to push the systems he's working with to the limit.

Well more capacity is on the way: 200gb blu ray disks...whats it at like 50 now?

http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/05/18/hitachi-floats-200gb-blu-ray-disk

NO i don't read the inquirer, but thats the link I found on google...i think TDK has made one too...plus only single layer so far

The link is over a year old, and since we've heard nothing more on the matter since then, it's fairly safe to say it was a load of bullshit.

We did hear lately that Pioneer developed a 400GB BD.

http://techreport.com/discussions.x/15063

holy crap!

i just saw this on the WebAlert podcast, it is true they are releasing the FF13 for the x-box, i refrained from flaming mc-snake cos i also also had heard about it way back in 2006, but there was no confirmation and i had nothing solid to post. but finally...

...doesnt make much of a difference actually with the current economic situation there isnt any leftover money to throw at either console, if this keeps up i'd have to dig into my savings just to buy food..

200gb bluray is possible, just like the 100mb floppies and 1gb cds the question is who is gonna make and sell these, more importantly who's gonna buy these one of the things manufacturers think carefully about is the demand if the demand is high they can put it to mass manufacturing and lowers cost, in turn lowering the street price creating more demand and basically milk the cow at leisure until its replaced by a new cow

way back in 2000 they had 100mb floppies(and drives), but in the same year they had 200mb zip drives and in 2001 2,4,6, & 8gb Jazz drives, the 100mb floppies were a bit cheaper than the zips and a lot cheaper than the jazz but by 2002 650mb cds were so cheap no one bought either.

but the 1gb cd that followed suffered the same fate as the 100mb floppy.

would you honestly buy a 1gb cd for 6cents while you could get a 4gb DVD for 8 cents. and given that wouldnt you rather buy a dvd burner for around $40 over a cd burner for $20. (prices in my neighbourhood not from online shops, also note that not a lot of shops carry the 1gb cd)

Kotaku would like to remind us that FFXIII is also heading to PC.

OMFG WTF HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO US SONS OF BITCHES

I can't wait until people start posting comparison screen shots of both versions.

Actually on second thoughts I can... I fucking hate how fanboys use comparison screen shots to get one over on each other when the games look almost identical.

BUT THE ONE ON THE LEFT HAS 3 MORE JAGGED EDGES! IT'S INFERIOR!

WE HAVE 5 extra pixels, our version is Farly superior!

MAN PHUCK U! DEM XTRA PIXLS MAKS UR GAM LOOS FRAMRATE!

That's just a myph! You are spewing jealous propagandorz!1

Well lol i dont care about looks its about the number of disks and load times. Is this another lost odessy AKA 4 disks? or a 1 disk special 4 360 (highly doubt it) but hey if MS can throw money at it anything can happen. But hey Im not worrying about it im getting it for the platform it was destined 4 lol. PS3
P.S you can blame the 360 version for making the US version come out later and we can all spoil the game for ourselves watching fan-subbed cut-scenes on youtube. lol

The only fansubs I watch are anime. Youtube doesn't have nearly as much framrate required for the desired result.

Well lol i dont care about looks its about the number of disks and load times.

I agree with load times, but # of disks? Really???? Are u so lazy that u can't get up and change a disk every 20 hours or so? But these games have been getting shorter, don't know about 12 but my 10 version is on 1 disk (but even that's a malaysian bootleg, so i dunno ;-)

FFX and XII would almost certainly be on a dual-layer DVD which is about 9gb, compare that to FFVII which was 3 CDs or about 1.8gb and FFIX which was 4 CDs or 2.4gb. Also consider that the heavy reliance on FMV and pre-rendered graphics would take up more space than if the game was 3D and used in-game cutscenes.

Anyway, that means that if FFXIII takes up all of a double-layer blu-ray, the 360 version will need to be on 5 double-layer DVDs (or 10 single-layers, but they'd have to be made not to use double-layers). It's not the end of the world, but it does unarguably make the 360 version inferior at least in some way. SE are looking into ways to compress the game so that doesn't have to happen, though.

Also, it's not coming to PC. It was just a stupid rumour that got out of hand. I even reported it on my blog before then retracting it when I read this on the Kotaku site:


Update: We contacted Square Enix, and according to the company, "The game is being built using PC-based development tools, but that doesn’t mean it’s being created for the PC platform. Our current plans are to release FFXIII for the PS3 and Xbox 360 only. Sorry for the confusion!" So to recap, it's being created with PC-based dev tools, but with plans only for PS3/Xbox 360 console release.

Also, Pimp Daddy McSnake - is that the same P T H C in your sig that I think of when I see P T H C? Or is it just an unfortunate coincidence?

[EDIT] I guess it is! When I just wrote P T H C without spaces, it got auto-censored. Was there some sort of problem with that on these boards or something?

FFX and XII would almost certainly be on a dual-layer DVD which is about 9gb
They aren't.

Yeah he's right both those ISOs can be found at like 4.x Gb.

Man, I forgot about this thread.

They aren't.

Wow, it's strange when a game like GTA:SA takes up as much space as FFX and FFXII combined. Then again, FFX's size can be explained by the fact that the only area which wasn't essentially a narrow corridor was the Calm Lands. I know that Xenosaga was dual-layer too.

The 360 version will most likely lose some of its finesse due to compression.

Pre-rendered cut-scenes in 1080p resolution (or even 720p) take a lot of space on a disc. I don't see S-E using that full HD route when porting the game to the 360 for the only reason that it would take way too many discs.

As for the polygonal graphics, I think the 360 might be able to handle the game just as well as the PS3, with barely a difference noticeable.

The sound quality (which isn't the most important thing for most gamers, and by that I mean not a lot of gamers care for top notch PCM or Dolby True HD sound quality ...) and the pre-rendered cut-scenes are most likely the only things that will take the hit.

Not making it PS3 exclusive is actually a great idea. After all, not everybody owns a PS3 and it is also unfair to the X360 gamers who had been fans of the Final Fantasy series for a long period of time. Thus, Square Enix actually made a good decision! :)

Making FFXIII available on both consoles but keeping FFXIII versus exclusive pretty lame in my book (better than keeping both exclusive, but still...) If I could rest assured that the Final Fantasy series would exist on the Xbox360 in the future, I would buy it over the PS3 without hesitation given the price.

I don't see what is wrong in keeping it exclusive. FF was gonna be exclusive so atleast PS3 people can have our own Exclusive MS won't buy off of us. And of corse the 360 is cheeper it's riddled with design flaws, cheep solder and an uncustomizible HDD that I can't put what ever size I want.

Well, the console wars are fine and you can choose to not buy an Xbox360 and go with its competitor if you want. Competition is good. But why would you support exclusivity? This means anyone who doesn't buy both consoles can't play all of the games they could otherwise.

I know it's a rosier picture currently if you own a PS3 since you can say "Ha! I paid more for my PS3 and now I get games the Xbox folks don't." But would you be happy if Sony and Microsoft colluded to only release one Final Fantasy on each console? FF14 might be on PS3 only, FF15 might be on Xbox360 only. That would be terrible, but it's one of many things they could do to persuade people into buying both consoles. If the next great FF game was released on Xbox360 only, I don't think you'd be too pleased about it.

ff13 isnt on xbox in japan tho

Considering that the 360 has outsold the PS3 in Japan for the last couple of months, I'd look for that to change pretty quick.

That would amaze me. Because that would possibly mean holding back their most anticipated game (http://www.squareunion.com/site.php?p=News&c=Square+Enix+Still+Popular+In+Japan&id=181) in home territory. For which copious amounts of laughter would be had by onlookers such as I.

But I think the Japanese are far too insular for that if I may generalize an entire country.

Considering that the 360 has outsold the PS3 in Japan for the last couple of months, I'd look for that to change pretty quick.

Whooptie doo! Doesn't mean they're caught up in sales.

PS3 has outsold 360 in Eur, doesn't mean they're caught up in sales, either.

NSB, you know I like you, so trust me when I say this is for your own good.

You're being a twat.

I was making the point that with sales trending toward the 360 at present, it will probably reach the point where a Japanese release of the game is worth the money involved in porting it, and therefore would happen. I said nothing about which console was ahead, and in fact did not have that as a factor in any of my thought processes.

noob ps just sold in one week whar xbox360 sold in 6 weeks. plus wks will be better.

Who the fuck are you and why are you talking out your ass? Go be a useless fanboy somewhere else.

noob ps just sold in one week whar xbox360 sold in 6 weeks. plus wks will be better.

Dude, until you can make sense, nobody gives a shit what you think.

On topic

Why do these fanboys bitch about Square being sell-outs?
Being sell-outs and being a business are different things. FF is a franchise. SE is a business. FF is their product and they want to sell as many copies as possible, while maintaining a quality standard, to assure as big a fan base as possible.

Its not personal, its business.

yeah, of course...

Especially since Microsoft paid good money to get the game on their console.

Source: Famitsu

I can't wait to see how big the demo is from Xbox Live Marketplace.

This is where I'll jump in. Sony ASSUMED we'd buy their console to play FFXIII, but The fact that this game is coming out for 360 just made my decision to purchase a 360 much easier. Even if this game wasn't coming out for 360, and assuming I never bought my 360, I still wouldn't spend that much money on a PS3 just to play Final Fantasy XIII, seeing as there's really nothing else in the PS3 library that I can't live without. Now that I KNOW the game is coming out for 360 and wish to purchase it, Square-Enix has a sold one more copy that they wouldn't have been able to sell otherwise. This is likely the case for many thousands of other gamers as well.

This, my friends, is how capitalism works, and capitalism is going to be Square-Enix's best friend come FFXIII's US release date.

Ok, so FFXIII may not be PS3 exclusive, but i know for a fact that FF Versus XIII is still a PS3 exclusive, and the PSP subset (can't remember the name) is still in development, so Sony is still keeping most of the reigns on FF. This is the same thing that happened with FFXI, it only was Xbox and PC exclusives, because PS2 wasn't very good for online gaming (i suppose i'll be in trouble with a lot of people for saying that, but i'm right). Is something wrong with FFXIII being on Xbox 360? Most of the FF games have either been remade or made on other gaming systems, especially on handheld systems such as the GBA, DS and the PSP. I welcome the idea, but im a bit sceptical on why Square-Enix has made this marketing choice. It just depends on gaming console preferences. I think it will be better on the PS3 because since FF7, the series looks and feels better on the Playstation consoles. What does everyone else think? I would like to know and i will not be judgemental. Just give me a reason and we can clear all this confusion up.

also, i dont think it matters. So what if Square-Enix wants to capitalise on the current gaming trends in the next-gen consoles. They are just wanting more money to create better games for the future RPG fans.

yeah, of course...

Especially since Microsoft paid good money to get the game on their console.

Not really. Microsoft is paying the cost of porting the game since a 360 version was not originally planned. Remember, Sony doesn't own Square-Enix, Microsoft has no reason to pay any game developer so their game will appear on its console.

Microsoft making the initial offer works out better for Square-Enix, since Microsoft could've waited till after the 2010 fiscal year ended, seeing as FFXIII is scheduled for a Q4 release in America, putting it at the beginning of the 2010 fiscal year, and once SE posted good sales but poor profits (let's face it: A game that costs a ton of money to make, and one that would only be released on a single console? Hello money pit.) for that fiscal year, they would've been FAR MORE receptive to a port, so much that Microsoft would be able to finagle whatever they wanted out of SE, such as added content, a FFXIII Versus port, etc,. I think Microsoft and Square-Enix are probably both aware of this, which is why the deal went through.

The key point is this: Although Microsoft could have waited until a year later, after allowing exclusivity to hurt Square-Enix financially so that Microsoft would have near limitless power at the bargaining table, they didn't. That strategy doesn't help anyone (well, it helps a third-party; more on that shortly). Square-Enix loses face and Microsoft gets a major release game a year after everyone else has gotten a chance to play it on PS3. Instead, Microsoft is getting the game in America at the same time as the Playstation 3 version. That's what this is all about: cutting Sony's sales. If the game is on 360, people won't have to go out and buy a PS3 in order to play FFXIII.
Last generation, Microsoft cut into Sony's market share by simply having their system on the market. This generation, they're attacking Sony's game exclusivity.

With one plan, Sony wins big, Microsoft doesn't fare too well, and Square-Enix loses.

With the other plan, Microsoft wins big, Square-Enix does at least twice as much business (though we still don't know what kind of a profit the game'll turn), and Sony sells a few more consoles than they already do.

Which plan do you think Microsoft wants to go with?

I agree. I mean there is NOTHING exclusive on the PS3 that I want. And considering that the 360 is more designed toward the casual gamer market, I honestly find it not only more fun to play but the library to be so extensive.

After FFXII I did kind of give up on the series. Sure I played FFXII for hours until my eyes couldn't stay awake any longer, but I didn't enjoy it. I found it more of a chore than anything else.

Hopefully FFXIII will be better, but with Silent Hill Homecoming and Star Ocean 4 just around the corner for PAL territories, I am looking forward to those moreso.

The sony in the moeny make it more for them fans.Xbox is getinga new game because it is doing better. Square are liking sony so they give them another game and that is why they are nice.

Ok to set the air clear i think Microsoft ain't the conservative gaming company. Sure, they came out with the Halo games to combat the PS2 and PS3 supremacy but they will do anything for gamers to defect to the Xbox franchise. Sure, i like all games, but I think that Sony will be the big winner. Thats why, if you remember, they are releasing FF Versus XIII as a PS3 exclusive, and i think that this is their backup plan if Square-Enix and the other plan comes to pass, and they will make up for more sales on the PS3 with Versus. I already know a lot (and i mean a lot) of people who are anticipating the release of Versus, and this is a great tactic indeed cause if Microsoft, Sony and Square-Enix all win, Square-Enix will gain a lot more from releasing Versus after XIII and i hope that it works out for them cause the rewards are much greater for ALL companies, but in the end, Sony and Square-Enix will come out to be the top dogs from this FF slugfest

thanks for reading this long, heartfelt post.

LOL

oh btw, it wasnt too long cause it took me 20 mins to think of it, so yeah


lol

Doubtful that it'd happen but I'd laugh manically if Square announced a 360 port of Versus XIII at e3 09.

Because my girlfriend loves me so much, and after seeing my extensive Final Fantasy collection, she surprised me with Advent Children Complete with the FFXIII demo.



First off, since the first trailer of FFXIII, I've loved the music, same goes with the demo. Some of the style also reminds me of FFXII and Tactics, but not by a lot. The graphics are pretty and so is the CG. I was able to pick up the battle system pretty quickly without any translation or online tutorals, they're ok, but not the best battle system of any FF game. It's a cross between FFX and FFXII. You still only control 1 character - Lightning in one area and Snow in another. Thankfully PS3 games and Blu-ray movies share the same region codes between the US and Japan which means when Japanese version comes out at the end of the year I'll be importing it. My PS3 is hungry for an RPG. With that, I'll leave you with pretty pictures...

What are their names?
I have not been following this.

First gal is Lightning.


There's two guys in it called Szars and Snow too.

Dunno who that second girl is though

The second girl is Oerba Dia Vanille. One of my favorate names in the Final Fantasy universe.

That name is way too complicated.

The way I pronounce it, it sounds French.

That name is way too complicated.

Yet it's so pretty.

Don't confuse the person with the name, homie.

Nah mang, I think the name is prettier.

She's XIII's Selphie/Penelo, mang.

Whats the black guys name?

Slight derail, but I hadn't really been into the FF series. However, I might just jump on the bandwagon at XIII. And I'm also considering getting a PS2 so I'll try tracking down the others if I like XIII.

for the record, dont start with XIII, cause you are forgetting the golden jewels of the FF franchise. I suggest you google VII and VIII, you should start on those. and google if they can be downloaded from the playstation store, or just get a copy of the iso's from the netz. Seriously, dont waste your time. i can proudly say that i own FF VII, VIII, X, X-2, and XII. I also have some of the spinoffs, so i know where i am coming from here. seriously, start with the fundamentals, so you know what to expect from the other ones, right through to XIII.

lol, VII and VIII as FUNDAMENTALS :rolleyes:

VI, IV, V, and I are good places to start.

yeah i guess youre right i completely forgot about those ones. anyways, just play them all any way you can. it helps to know the beginnings of a great franchise seconding to the Mario franchise.

(curse those Nintendo assholes) lol kidding

Only Final Fantasy game that matters

lol, VII and VIII as FUNDAMENTALS :rolleyes:

VI, IV, V, and I are good places to start.

As unbiased as possible, I'd reccomend that they start with VII and VIII. IV, V, and VI, should only be played by fans of the series, trust me nobody in this day and age starts on Sprite games. Even if your are graphically indifferent the change is far too great.

And that list is out of order

V is better than VI and VI is better than IV.

I agree V is better than IV.

But VI is better than ur mom~

Sorry, don't want to set a bad example for the n00bs :o Oh, strikeout isn't working tonight, I guess.

Ahh, so that's what I saw you playing. I thought you were part of some conspiracy. I have a favour to ask, could you please ask where your girlfriend got this from? (assuming it won't cause upset)

I want it. I want it so bad like a Harkus crying over exclusive rights lost.

Try www.play-asia.com.

That's where I got mine.

Whats the black guys name?


Not sure but he remind sme of Wakka.

I agree V is better than IV.


Waaaattt!? IV is Good a bit better then V, imo.

You know how I feel about IV.

Yes, Yes I do....
Well i'll agree that I through VI Awesome
VII and beyond (maybe) is meh..

Excluding II ;)

Dammit!
haha, ...ok.

Stop caving to my opinions. SHOW ME YOUR CLAWS

Fuck, man!
II was a great game!!!

That's what I'm talking 'bout.

Out of VII through XII.
I thought IX was the better game. Yes I said it, now what!?!

I agree with that statement.

In terms of gameplay, Final Fantasy V is better. But in terms of story, V doesn't come close to IV.

It's official Final Fantasy XIII will be out sometime in any one of the 365 days in 2010.

Someone needs to paint something naughty going into his mouth....

How much spraypaint you got handy, Mark?

Maybe well get together and egg this later.. I never go downtown anymore. :/

oh shut up

cant believe this thread is still alive

PS3 version delayed?

hmmm

I smell a shit fight starting.

I knew this thread would come up.

Did you guys see that Final Fantasy XIV is being developed now. It was on at E3 says it will be PS3 exclusive but also online.

how I missed that, idk lol

See here (http://www.ps3center.net/story-394.html?PHPSESSID=b74f8a842e7af06576dbccea5054cf3 5)

I had some other links confirming the same, but I lost them. I'll post them later on.

Here's (http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/758/758363p1.html) another article about Square Enix buying the Unreal 3 engine which is even more proof that Square Enix is going multi-platform not only with the FF series.

Oh and please refrain from going: ZOMG LOLZ PS3 FANBOIS GOT PWND!!!11ONE


I'm not suprised one bit due to the fact that XBOX 360 is popular in Japan. I knew this would happen eventually, and I don't own a XBOX 360, but I think this is a good move for the company trying to go for more sales. I don't have a problem with that. I just hope that the PS3 version isn't "downgraded" just because the HD DVD can only hold so much data. I'll have to wait and see how the PS3 version of FFXIII looks, but, I'll be looking forward to the "versus" more than FFXIII.

XBox 360 is popular in Japan? I always thought the opposite, I guess I need to stay up-to-date.

Well being in Japan for 8 months at a time, XBOX 360 is quite popular... especially with girls... but I don't want to go into that subject.

Do they enjoy the vibrate function ;)?

O_O *in disbelief*

I haven't... yet.
