What made you buy FF for Xbox?

I don't know what it was like on here, but I know part of the problem was that people thought a bunch of content had gotten cut out of the game so they could port it to the 360 with a reasonable number of discs, etc. I actually still have people bring that up today if the topic of XIII comes up, which is pretty silly.

Sounds like a pretty reasonable concern, to be honest. And I doubt anyone at SE would ever admit to it being the case even if confronted directly about it, so we'll never really know.

You also have to keep in mind the announcement came at a time when there was a growing library of titles that were showing what a PS3 exclusive could do. Given Square's pedigree with technology, it is kind of sad to know we'll never see what they could achieve focusing on one platform. But in the end the game looked pretty good on both systems, so it wasn't really a big deal.
