It`s normal for developers to not add some created pieces into the final stage.
But according to that article, the amount of deleted content seems pretty large. The 360 is obviously to blame. Here comes the question: would SquareEnix choose money over loyalty?
We all can hope that the deleted content can be part of DLC or the international version. True, they said that the international version may never happen, but it`s possible that they`ll change mind.
My mistake, I recalled the 360 supporting HD-DVDs, but I guess I was just hearing about the discontinued add-on. The whole FMV compression thing makes perfect sense to me, the sizes just didn't add up.
Now I'm down to not giving a dam if the cinematics are rendered in slightly lower detail.
Sorry about necrobump, but totally relevant:
FFXIII Slightly Worse on Xbox 360 | NowGamer
Now all those PS3 fanboys can feel at least a bit superior in their miserable little lives.
Finally, an sensible article on this. I'm thinking about getting both versions of the game once it's released officially in the US to get a good look for myself.
They're a business, loyalty is money o.oQuote:

Why?
I own both systems and enjoy both for different things. When it comes to online MP I use the 360, however when it comes to split screen or single player I'm mainly a PS3 fan. I've been a fan of Sony's entertainment systems for a long time and Squaresoft/Square-Enix fan for even longer. But this here really makes me re-evaluate all of that. I'm pretty annoyed that they would downgrade the quality of a game to be "Fair" to both consoles. Fair nothing. They chose to purchase a system that doesn't support blu-ray so they get a sub-standard edition of the game. That's just the way it is. If you're system can't handle it just like if your computer doesn't have the minimum specs to play a game, you either don't get the game or upgrade your system. (i.e. get PS3) I'm by no means a PS3 fan boy, but if the system you purchased can't handle the software then it shouldn't get it. I'm disappointed to see Square-Enix go so hardcore to the side of capitalist greed.
I don't really care how pretty the game is; if it's good then I'll like it, if it sucks then I'll hate it. I can still get enjoyment out of earlier FF titles and that look like my breakfast after I've thrown it up twice compared to the graphics we've got now.
I don't honestly believe they cut content out of the game either. Or, if they did, why the hell would they tell people. I mean, that's an idiotic idea.
Square-Enix Defends Linear Design In Final Fantasy XIII - PlayStation 3 News at IGN
I have no idea where to put this, so I'll put it here for now, at least.
Anyways, the game's director basically defends the linity of the game, by saying that it nchanges once the player reaches Pulse.
It's bad that they feel insecure enough about their game to go out and defend it like that.
Yes! Awesome! And I don't even own a PS3!Quote:

lol i defo don't feel superior playing a Ps3 but to be honest i've never felt the need to go out there and own all three consoles tbh i dont have enough time to play three consoles, i dont really have loads of time to play one now lol so i guess owning a Ps3 for me is just a choice i stuck with since day one the PS came out.
I think people who own 3 consoles are either living very comfortably, or feel some kind of insecure need to prove to others they have a valid opinion. In a lot of forums people throw it out constantly in their posts and signatures as some kind of defense badge.Quote:
