Ok, so you caught me on the only FF I've never actually played, but the fact that you could only name one practically proves my point. FFXI is an exception, and a pretty rare one at that. And not all that surprising either since it's long term profitability is dependant on drawing in more users constantly in order to keep it going. Toss in the fact that it was an MMO and at the time it was originally released, MMO's weren't generally million sellers in a short period and it made sense to release it to as wide an audience as possible, or in this case, pretty much any platform with internet access.
Final Fantasy XIII PS3 Preview, Final Fantasy XIII Playstation 3 Preview
There you go. End of story. I think this thread could be closed no?Square Enix revealed a tiny trickle of new info and imagery for Final Fantasy XIII at its massive Square Enix Party 2007 event in Tokyo today. It's becoming tragically clear that tacking a few seconds of new footage onto a slightly remixed trailer constitutes a major update these days, so fans will simply have to contend with meager crumbs of intel until the floodgates finally open at some undisclosed future time, but we do have a few new minor details about the game.
FFXIII once again wowed crowds with its blend of jaw-droppingly gorgeous CG and almost equally sexy real-time combat scenes. Most of the new content came at the trailer's outset, as surreal, beautiful landscapes from one of the game's "worlds," Pulse, flashed across the screen in rapid succession. These environments (seemingly real-time) looked so intensely alien that it's hard to even process exactly what we were seeing...other than the fact that they're spectacularly pretty.
After that, we once again saw oddly-named heroine Lightning dispatching foes with her high-tech weaponry, absurd acrobatics, and impressive abilities to control both time and gravity. The recycled trailer then showcased her mysterious blonde male friend (a fellow party member, hopefully?) performing impressive motorcycle feats, the supersexy summon Shiva (and her twin sister of sorts) morphing into a motorbike, and plenty of ridiculously over-the-top action that seems far too chaotic and detailed to actually be gameplay.
Fans with watchful eyes caught tiny glimpses of new stuff, like summoned monster Ifrit and a new type of enemy solider, but most of the trailer felt like a rehash of what Square has been rolling out since last E3. No release date was given, naturally, but the game's PS3 exclusivity was once again confirmed at the clip's end.![]()
Yep. FFXIII and FFvXIII are exclusive to PS3.
The other titles in the FNC might not be/aren't.
so, we can still argue, my opinion ps3 is the weakest, not by techincal, no, by the fans, Nintendo and microsoft, both have devouted fans, but sony are losing theres, if Square hadnt of left nintendo, then sony would of prob failed miserably, have any of you seen the pictures of what ff7 would of looked liked on the n64, they look alot better than the ps1, anyway, many manufactures of stated that they cant develop for ps3, because the expenditure will be too much, they dont have the software to be able to manage the blu-ray etc, there wil lbe rarely any third party developers for it, due to they cant afford the software to make the ps3 games, look at Kojima's , hes begged satora iwata, to put snake into super smash bros brawl, begged, people are losing faith in the console. I seemed to have gone off track a little lol
Anyway back to ffXIII, i heard that there making three games to get the whole story line, two of them are for ps3 and one of them is a mobile phone game, please correct me if im mistaken about this, they might have changed it.
"I do not love the bright sword for it's sharpness, nor the arrow for it's swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defendâ€
Is this STILL marked as important? This exclusivity rumour has been debunked countless times (by SE themselves) and the thread title gives people the wrong idea. Unless they change their plans, Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII are PS3 exlusive.
"There has been much recent talk about Final Fantasy XIII being ported to the Xbox 360, or any other Final Fantasy games for that matter.
Square Enix executive, Shinji Hashimoto, has pointed out to Nikkei BP(website) that Square Enix's plans for Final Fantasy on the 360 is a blank slate, where as the wii has Crystal Chronicles, and the PS3 of course has Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII."

Final fantasy MAIN games were always been on the playstation console;
Final fantasy Origins(ff1 & ff2)~ps1
Final Fantasy Chronicle(Chrono Trigger & ff4) ~ps1
Final Fantasy Anthology( ff5 & ff6) ~ps1
Final Fantasy 7 ~ps1
Final Fantasy 8 ~ps1
Final Fantasy 9 ~ps1
Final Fantasy 10 ~ps2
Final Fantasy 12 ~ps2
It would be just wrong for a final fantasy MAIN game to be on a different console. It should just be on ps3 exclusive.
Im not bashing the xbox 360 because it has alot of good games with good graphic. Im not bashing the wii also.
Most of you say that the ps3 cost too much but by the time final fantasy XIII will be out , the ps3 price of surely drop. Since i like playing RPG i will definitly buy a ps3 someday when more games will be out . Im sure alot of Rpg will be out on ps3 like:
Breath of fire Series
Final Fantasy Series
Dragon quest series
Lunar Series
Stars Ocean Series
Suikoden Series
Tales of... series
Xenosaga series
Chrono series
./hack series
Arc the Lad series
Legend of legaia series
Grandia series
Wild Arms series
.. and alot more so yea... im getting off topic![]()
I wouldn't doubt that (N64:64bits/PS1:32bits), but the reason why Square made FF7 for Playstation is because N64 didn't support FMV format video in their games.(OPM article)
The reason is simple, the reason why they went to 360 is because Playstation release their new PS2.2 model (the small version), it was a mistake because that model couldn't support the HDD for the PS2, making it impossible for new buyers to play FFXI, and that only literatly months/a year after that game was released.
So in order to draw more people, they had to made due with PC versions and Xbox.
Overall, Square-Enix never thinks of making a new Final Fantasy simply for profits.
They go to the system that is best/more convient for them.
And in this Generation of Consoles, it's PS3.
If they want profit, they have Final Fantasy 7 for that.
All I wish is they make it 1080p(HD), with Partial/Full download(No Loading), Random Encouters(FFXII was fine, but there was no Battle Theme except Bosses!) and over 200hours of gameplay of pure story excluding side quests(Is it too much 100+? Or Not Enough 400+?)
Offline Multi-Player Co-op would also be nice. One that you don't need to start a new story in order to get it. (Finally a FF you could enjoy with your friends!... That is not a remake of course...)
You can have 7 Controllers in the PS3. Player 1 leads, the others participate in ATB battles.)
Also...
The PS3 REAL price is 840$ to produce! For thoses of you who though 600$ was high...
I love ya Sony...just don't got the money. Had to settle for a Wii.
I think someone has to change the title in this thread.
Something like "F.N.C. confirmed as not exclusive to PS3" would have been more accurate,although it is something that was well known long before this thread was made.
And for all the nintendo fanboys that are praying for FFXIII to not be a PS3 exclusive(except agito) DREAM ON!![]()
On a sidenote,it really amazes me how people are so eager to jumb to conclusions based on unconfirmed rumours...:rolleyes2
Believe it or not, alot of people still don't know that.
There's no way they could fit that game on the Wii...
Well, there was also a rumor of the PS3 dropping price of 100$. And it's been made Today!
Also, Squenix had a meating about htis issue long ago, and decided they won't go multi-platform, but most people just assumed it since DMC did.
