REJOICE! For Xbox360 will see FFXIII!

[Hyperion4444]

One of the main reasons I bought a PlayStation 3 was because of Final Fantasy XIII, since it was exclusif.
The others were Devil May Cry 4 (Dante Teaser), Assassin's Creed, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Blu-Ray Disc, built-in Wi-Fi, Free Online Service....
ok, no need to go into all the little details...
As long as it didn't cost 100$+ for an additional Wi-Fi for a 50$/year costy online service.
(Wi-Fi is included on the PS3)

Ironically, after finally getting my wish, I may end up buying a PS3 after all. I can barely hear Lost Odyssey through the sheer OMG READY FOR TAKEOFF NOISE NOISE NOISE that the 360 makes, and don't fancy my gaming experience being hampered again.

Put the Xbox 360 in a drawer or something, cover it with a towel? This will make it too hot right? ?!

:choc2?!

[Cloudane]

I think that's how people ended up getting that red ring syndrome

[Hyperion4444]

lol
ouch!
Take it easy on them.

I think that's how people ended up getting that red ring syndrome :p

That's how people try to get rid of it, but it's only a temporary fix.

(You can get Wi-Fi on the Wii for less than 40$,...? )

Wi-Fi is standard with the Wii. It's the regular LAN connection you have to pay extra for. xP

[Hyperion4444]

Thanks for the tip Roto!
I didn't knew that!
Anyway, theses Wii cards cost less than 40$, it varies with the store. (In stores I've been to)

Wow.

[Roto13]

It's like ten bucks or something. Big whoop.

[Jessweeee♪]

I just used Wi-Fi and didn't even know about the LAN charge >.>

[Roto13]

It's not like paying for a service or anything. There's just nowhere to put a cable without an extra piece of hardware.

[Ouch!]

What's stopping them from making one better than the other?

No biggie.

Because that's likely not anywhere near an economically intelligent decision. The more differences between the two versions, the more difficult it becomes to produce. The smart business decision for SE at this point is to make the game as easy as possible to port. Making one version better than the other is just a bad business decision because it will cost SE extra money out of their pocket when they likely won't get anything more in return for the extra time, effort, and expenditure.

So yes. Biggie.

Firstly, this is pure speculation on my part. Without knowing & understanding the full details of the Crystal Tools Engine, one cannot be certain how exactly it works.

But the one thing that is certain is that it is multi-platform. But one also knows that there are large technical differences between the Xbox 360 and the PS3, such as the 6 processors in the PS3. Seeing that the original White Engine was supposed to be able to use 4 out of the 6 processors, and that Crystal Tools is essentially the White Engine, it should be safe to assume that this functionality still exists in the White Engine.

But obviously the Xbox does not have 4, or even 6 processors, so this shouldn't be able to work on it. So, what I am guessing is that Square has created Crystal Tools with the intention that it can use certain effects/tools for one system, and turn it off for another.

My main concern is that the game might be shortened due to Xbox's lack of Blu-ray. That would really upset me.

[Hyperion4444]

The more DVDs, the more Microsoft charges.

[Yar]

The more DVDs, the more Microsoft charges.

If Microsoft wants to stay competitive with Sony, I doubt they'll charge Square much for extra discs and I doubt the Xbox version will be more expensive than the PS3 version.

It should have just stayed on the system it was originally designed for. These complications for the other system wouldn't be an issue right now. Someone also mentioned something ridiculous to me. "The PS3 was built with the parts of the 360"
