No they aren't. You don't have any idea what you're talking about. The 360 already has multi-disk games.Microsoft are the type of people who would pay extra for it to appear on one dual layered disc instead of several so they wont have to accept their console is inferior to the PS3.

I... I've rarely seen a more stupid reason for opening a petition than this. I mean, come on, you talk about 'loyal' when Square switched from Nintendo to Sony back in the late 90's? The latest I've heard is that the 360 version isn't even going to be released in Japan and that they concentrate on releasing the Japanese PS3 version first.
I agree with Bahamut and Wolf Kanno, the series has other problems.
WHAT!? Final Fantasy is broadening its market and reaching out to fans who might never have a chance to play the game otherwise?
...
Those bastards! This effective marketing technique and attempt to attract a wider audience cannot be allowed!
To the PointlessStupidityMobile, Batman!
I think this guy should be front lining the petition
Not for multi-platform games.Originally Posted by theundeadhero
They might want to use multi-layered discs... but it still could result in multiple discs. A double layered single sided DVD holds about 8.5 GB, compared to a single layer Blu-Ray's 25 GB. That doesn't make the system inferior; it makes the medium inferior.
But, let's face it, even multiple discs would be okay. It worked for VII, VIII, and IX, as well as whole bunch of other games for the PS1, a few for the PS2, and even some for Xbox 360.
I came here to post this :P
I think I've seen this guy on YouTube before. I'm pretty sure this video is not really his personal belief, he's just parodizing the internet reaction.
Holy bitchfest, Batman!
I'm not signing, since Final Fantasy games past the SNES suck in my opinion-- aside from the Tactics series-- and I doubt they will ever get as good as they used to be. QED: I don't care.
Also: YouTube - ff13 ffxiii petition xbox360 for ps3 exclusive
Tis FFVII all over again
LOL @ video.
According to Kotaku where I found that video, that guy was just acting irate. However, it nicely matches up to the BAWWWWWWWWWing in this thread.
Assuming Square is still using the White Engine for the game, and said engine is continuing to be tailored to the PS3, then I think 360 owners would have to be more concerned about getting aty port than PS3 owners have to worry about the game being compromised for the 360. It's much easier to develop a game for the 360 and port to the PS3 than the other way around. Doing it either way takes a lot of time to do right on the console the game wasn't developed for, which is why most companies are content to take the easy way out and release a crappy port to one system or the other. So unless Square had decided some time ago that the 360 port was going to happen, I have to wonder if they'll have the time they need to make a good port, or if they'll have to compromise on it to get it out in time (assuming the planned release doesn't get pushed back). I certainly hope the port is well made for those who will be playing it on the 360, but it wouldn't surprise me if Square half-assed it.
On the topic of the petition though; I'm sure that someone probably said the exact same thing when Square went to the Playstation. For those who actually cared enough to sign it; life goes on. Learn to deal with it.
Right, thanks for reminding me.Assuming Square is still using the White Engine for the game...
The 'White Engine' is now officially known as 'Crystal Tools'. You're correct in saying that the White Engine appeared to be originally made to optimize PS3 titles. However as of February's Game Developer's Conference they announced the rename of the engine to 'Crystal Tools' and said how it would be used for PS3, 360, Windows and Wii development. The moment they said that, the possibility of 'this' happening increased vastly. After all, the same engine they're using to make FF13 will also be used to make games for the 360.
There wasn't really much to prevent them from not taking it to more places than just the Playstation. As I mentioned after a bit of news last year, FF13 could not have been 'locked in' as a Sony exclusive if Sony was 'discussing' it at that point.
Theoretically, neither version of FF13 should suffer. Unlike other multi-plat games who may have had messy ports, FF13 is based on an engine that is designed to be cross platform. They can do whatever they want for the Japanese PS3 version of the game (which is still coming out waay first, forget about a worldwide release...), then do whatever modifications to the engine for the 360 version while they localize it. We haven't seen any evidence of Crystal Tools cross-platform games' performance yet, but I'm sure Squenix wants it to be as refined as possible. Back when they were still calling it the White Engine, they were talking about their next MMO that would be using it and how that MMO would be a cross-platform game. This is a serious focus for them.
Also, Dreddz posted the same video as Momiji earlier in the thread. The same one I quoted in my previous post :P
Marry me Big D.
Oh and that's a great video, even if the guy is only acting. Though he seems too into it to just be acting though.
This space intentionally left blank.
He's definitely acting. His speech is based on a post from the gameFAQ forums by some idiot. There is a YTMND version floating around as well.
Is this what your talking about?
