Final Fantasy XIII


DAT IDIOT!

Recommended Posts

Looks like last minute negotiations. Without FF13 trailer, the conference was big meh. And during the RE5 presentation, the guy actually said 'finish it quickly, we have other games to show', WTF? And then they showed casual sh*t for almost an hour.

 

But big props to M$, this is how you fking do it.

No Final Fantasy XIII for 360 until 2010

 

"When Microsoft revealed yesterday that Final Fantasy XIII was coming to Xbox 360, they were only telling half the story. At a Q&A session with Square Enix after the press conference, we learned the truth.

 

The Japanese developer won’t even begin working on the Xbox 360 version until the PS3 version is finished. The Square Enix representatives were frank on this point: porting the game will take a long time. And after it’s ported, it’ll still have to be localised.

 

Realistically, that’ll mean a gap of around a year between the two — and the PS3 version is still a long, long way off. There is little hope for FFXIII landing on the 360 this side of 2010.

 

This whole venture is a last-minute development; the decision to port to 360 was only made a few days ago.

 

Another aspect of the FFXIII development process that’s been largely overlooked is that Square Enix already has the game running on PC. They have yet to decide whether they’ll release it on that format, however. They may just be using it as a development environment at this stage.

 

Another factor to consider: FFXIII is being created for PS3 with Crystal Tools (formerly known as The White Engine), Square Enix’s proprietary technology for PS3 development. A whole new engine may be needed to get the game working on the 360."

Final Fantasy XIII Producer Details Xbox 360 Port

By Earnest Cavalli EmailJuly 14, 2008

 

From: http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/07/final-fantasy-1.html

________________________________________________________

 

LOS ANGELES –- Speaking through a translator, Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase explained the company’s plans to bring the game to the Xbox 360 as an effort to “bring as much fun to as many people as possible.”

 

More pragmatically, he also mentioned that the change in the title's PlayStation 3 exclusivity was necessary due to “market situation for the Xbox 360 in the U.S. and Europe.”

 

Square Enix claims the game is still far too early in development to reveal (or even speculate at) a release date, though the company did reveal their current work schedule: First, the company will finish the Japanese PlayStation 3 version, which will then be localized for North America and Europe.

 

Once that’s completed, work will begin on the Xbox 360 version.

 

Though that would seemingly indicate a delayed release for the newly-announced port, Kitase emphasized Square Enix’s efforts to release the different versions nearly simultaneously.

 

“As for the timing between the U.S. and Europe, we will try to make it as close as possible. We’ll try to expedite localization,” he said.

 

Unfortunately, Square was unable to reveal how the storage disparity between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3’s game discs would be dealt with.

 

He stressed the company’s goal to keep the two versions as similar as possible, however, saying “the content will be the same, though the format might be different.”
