I've heard rumors that the games, are still a mess:( and that developing games for the PS3 is alot harder then for the [XBOX] 360. I hope this game is gonna be worth the wait, and that they don't push the release date, again, and again, and again. I plan on buying a PS3 just to get this game, but do you guys think its worth it? Buying a ps3 just to play this game? Or should I wait and see if they do realease a 360 port, or spinoff?

I've managed to get a Wii and my brother just got an Xbox 360 for his birthday. I'm praying that I'll see FFXIII on the Xbox, but at the rate it's going the PS8'll be out.

XII isn't even a year old, so it's not that long of a wait. Waiting for a new single-player one between X and XII was a real long wait.

Yea it was a horribly long wait, and the Dragon Quest demo wasn't all that great either, but I guess it was well worth the wait too, it's just that i didn't have to spend 500 bucks to play it lol, but I can almost gurantee they'll push back the release date :/

Hehe! I'm guessing that like a lot of people, you aren't counting FF X-2from 2003, I don't blame you from what I've heard about it though! :)

Final Fantasy X-2 actually wasn't all that bad, it was one of my favorite ones actually, it was alot of fun, I liked how you could have more than 9999 HP and do more than 9999 damage.

For me it's not going to be a long wait (even if it gets released by the end of 2009 in Europe) because i have many FF's and other games that i want to play/finish!;)
Although when SE starts to throw us more promotional stuff (screenshots,videos) the waiting will start to get real hard.

I'm of the mind I would WAY rather wait than have it rushed. In addition to giving them time to develop it properly, the wait also makes you appreciate them more. If a new one came out every 4 months they wouldn't seem quite so special.

Yep.

You could get the PS3 for other games too...

like Ratchet and Clank 4, Resident Evil, GTA4, devil May Cry 4, Silent Hill 5 etc.

I'd love to see that! I'm Indian(Asian) looking a bit although I'm not Indian. Do you mean Asian Indian or Native American?

Gah! I want this game! :D

By the time when FF13 is out, the price of PS3 should be cheaper. I might buy both at that time, it's probably worth it. I mean, if FF13 has delayed for so many years, then the price of PS3 will be cheaper in every year or so.

I'm a proud owner of a PS3 and cotrary to popular belief there are already some fine games on the system Oblivion is awesome, Ninja Gaiden Sigma is great and then there's the likes of The Darkness, Resistance Fall of man and F.E.A.R one thing I don't like is people's obsession with exclusives. FF XIII will in all likelyhood be a PS3 exclusive and I reall feel for XBOX 360 owners in this regard. Couple of games on that system I'd love to play too. It is a long wait for FF XIII but as has been said before, that's part of the reason these games are so special.

All PS3 games have a long wait, I'm still waiting for Ninja Gaiden Sigma, supposed to be released, just need to drive 1:30h to find a store that actually has it.

If i were Playstation CEO, I would have made the starting price 400$.
It would have been a terrible lost, but worth it!
(How many compagnies would be bankrout by doing a sytem that is just too good?)

By making it 400$, the support would have been more vast. (because the game compagnies create their games on systems that sold alot and fast, like Nintendo Wii.)

But even with 360 one year advance (like PS2 had) the sales doesn't compare to the huge success the PS2 had in it's time!
Nintendo Wii already surpassed X360 in sales in less than a year!
While Playstation 3 got a quick boost this year.


The game compagnies don't want to make games on a system if it's not going to be sold, and they base themselves on the sales, not considering that people might purchase the game and wait later to buy the system.
But thoses who really looses making exclusives, is X360.
X360 = 10 millions
Wii = 7.7 millions
PS3 = 3.3 millions
this was taking in June and things changed


X360 officially has 30% failure rate for the red ring of death. meaning:
10,000,000-30%=about 7,000,000 X360 actually works, with a year advance!
And considering that thoses failures ended up in people re-buying their system:
10,000,000-30%*2= 4,000,000 purchased a X360, with a year advance!
Unlike thoses compagnies, I know my math.

If you want to debate this, go ahead.

The 30% failure rate is only for disk scratching, cracking and hacking, And doesn't include X360 that just doesn't work(like core rebuilts) when you buy them, runs out after a short while and thoses who occasionnally self-explodes.
(Perharps it reallised it was a Xbox and decided to commit suicide? I don't know but it happened!)

In conclusion, the 'X360 Exclusives' are PC games.
So again the debate of, why buy an xbox if you have a PC. comes back.
While Xbox 360 didn't even offer a wireless controller until Wii/PS3 arrived on the market just shows us that it's just for the Green.

FF X was Dec 2001
FF XI was Oct 2003(PC version)
FF X-2 was Nov 2003
FF VII: DoG was Aug 2006
FF XII was Oct 2006

Which game is the best? I like FF X best. I'm excited about FF XII: RW on November 20th! :)

I promised myself that I would not look at those pictures/videos however I have managed to see everyone that is released ;)

*sigh* Yeah, its pretty much impossible for it not to get pushed back. Its only 13% done and they have been working on it for like... a year? Oh well, this one is going to be so amazingly awsome. I am like doubly phycked for this one than I was for XII.
From what we have been seeing, I believe that Lightning (if that's her name) will be the charater that the magority of the story will be based around, however that Joshua Ritz (or whatever his name is) might control the bulk of the story... who knows?

I wish square would give us more info!! Actually, no I don't because then the wait would seem exruciatingly long.... :mad:

Love ya, Square!

I think they actually said something about delaying the release because of the high price on the PS3 awhile back....but of course I don't think that will be necessary with all the time it's gonna take for them to develop the game :P

I liked FFX and X-2 they were great. FFXII was also a great game, but i miss the random battles, and the romance too lol. I think they should release anew FF with the old turn based system, and maybe even a job system that would be awesome :P

I strongly, strongly doubt that. Noone knows how much FFXIII has been completed, but its gonna be a long, long time before its released.

I can't believe you actually believed that FFXIII (13) was 13% completed and FFXIII V (13) was 1.3 %.
Can't you see that was a joke?
They actually say it on their own site!
It's going to be released in 2007, but may get delayed in late March for the N/A release.
So, if they worked on it since 2006, it's got to be ready sometime soon.

Ouch!

Ome never said he believed the 13%. He just told you to provide proof for the statistic you provided, which you still haven't done.

Also, if by some chance FFXIII were to see a 2007 release, a date would have been announced months ago. I wouldn't rule out a Japanese release date of late 2008, but I'm not banking on that as I've heard no evidence suggesting that FFXIII is anywhere near completion.

The current expected release date for FFXIII is sometime in 2008 Hyperion; nothing more concrete than that. FF Versus XIII is expected in 2009.

No they don't have an official release date, which is why they haven't been more specific than 2008 and 2009. Both of which could turn out to be wrong. The point is, based on what Square themselves have said, neither game will be coming out in 2007. As in, there's no chance, not they might.

Nah, all compagnies are now forced to add different laguage included in their new releases. As such, results in WW releases, won't be surprised if N/A gets the game the same time as Europe and Japan.
There was 1 game that was released before N/A, was it CC? Can't remember...

What's great, you'll be able to play the game in English/Français/Espagnol at the very least since it's used in N/A.

All new PS3 games gets same date release (or within 2 days due to shipment)
There's no more monthly differences anymore, reason why it takes more time, especially with voices.

Won't be 4 Months later like you're commonly used to.
(Just look at Metal Gear Solid said same day WW release,
while others just comes in when the shipment arrives.)
Also, N/A will surely get English/French/Spanish at the very least as Language options all compagnies are obligated to do.

But I heard you can now engage in battles with your airship! I can't wait for this game! I don't see why people think XII is so bad... I love it! They are all worried that Square is going to make FF XIII like XII but if they do... I will enjoy it! I would like more story, though...

I can't wait for this game! If it doesn't have a 2008 release, however, I will flip!
