FF 13 delayed

The FF games always took forever to come over to the U.S. I don't see how this makes any difference.

You can always buy the Japanese version if you don't want to wait.
 
PS3 might actually be at a price worth buying by April 2010. Win win for me. ;)
 
hahaa, PS3 and 360 simultaneous release!
*teabags Sony fanboys*

Sorry, couldn't resist.
(and no, I don't care about the PS3/PSP exclusive spin-offs... then again, I don't really care about 13 itself either... oh well)

I had to take some excedrin to comprehend this post. Anyhow, what does the delay have to do with the 360? There's nothing that suggests that it was because of the 360 that it was delayed. Sounds like a simple development delay (which happened with all FF games) that allowed for the 360 development to catch up to the PS3.
 
HATED ffXII.


I think they have gone the wrong direction with Final Fantasy.


It will be interesting to see which console this game looks better on.


I hope it flops big time and the go back to less futuristic / less starwars like settings.


Remake FF7 you fucks.
 
I don't think I would want to play a FF7 remake at this point in time. Sooooo many damn good games came out this winter and more are on the way. Definitely a good time to be a gamer who got laid off and is collecting unemployment. I wish I was laid off :( I could actually get some games finished.
 
Hopefully by that date I'll be just getting done enjoying Mass Effect 2, so the timing seems fine to me.
 
just not as excited for this one for whatever reason....gonna +1 the remake FF7 comments though XD

At least those of us in the US will have plenty of time to see if it's good before it comes out here.

Naw, Squenix specifically said when they first announced the 360 version that they would hold off releasing the PS3 version until they could do a simultaneous release of both.

they are 100% focusing on japanese ps3 version of ff13 at this time nothing else
( japanese wont have 360 version of ff13 btw only ps3 )
 
Yes... it's not like we've had to wait anywhere from 6 months to 3+ years for a translation of a FF game in the past. It must be MS's fault clearly.

Oh, wait... :rolleyes:

Are you certain of this? How certain are you? What are your sources? If true, is this really the fault of Microsoft, or do you think they should just not have a console on the market at all?

Maybe, just maybe, we should lay the blame for any delays on Square Enix since other companies manage to do simultaneous game releases on multiple consoles all the time...
 
They said that they'd be doing the port whilst they do the localisation... it's just that people have a short (or faulty) memory.

"First, we will complete the game for PS3 in Japan, then begin localization for America and Europe while developing the 360 version simultaneously. The PS3 and 360 versions will be released at the same time outside of Japan although, due to language and other conditions, the game may not be released simultaneously across territories."

FF series is not my cup of tea, but I've read some FF13 developer comments about the difficulty they had adapting to the X360's technology. We'll see how faithful that port turns out.

I thought the porting hadn't even started yet... you know, with the 360 being to blame for the delays and all. Of course, that's a little strange on its own given that Crystal Tools is a multiplatform engine.

The White Engine was developed with the PS3 in mind. The cross platform arrangement between Square and MS is a recent development compared to the life of FF13's development. It highly leverages the Cell's SPEs. Compromises will be made.

Crystal Tools (formerly White Engine) was multi platform from the day it was developed. The porting of FFXIII to the 360 is a completely different thing altogether, the nature of the engine just makes it far easier.

Square Enix's Taku Murata of the GM, Research and Development Division spoke to a completely packed audience at GDC this year. In a session entitled "The Technology of Final Fantasy," Murata explained the new technical direction of the company for the new generation of gaming platforms. "This is the first time Square Enix has made a technology platform that could be used across the entire company."

The platforms being targeted are PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC, although he noted that "some of our technologies support Wii. It's not 100% yet, so that's why I didn't put it up [on the slide] yet." He noted that in the past, Square Enix has made games specifically for one platform. However, that's not what they're interested in pursuing in the future. "In the past that approach, that worked and at the time I believe that was the right approach."

They cant get it out until 2010, thats too long of a wait. Must call them immediately and inform them to have it ready by the end of the week. Um does anyone happen to have their number handy, it will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully with the longer wait, the final product will be flawless.

Fixed your post.
 
westerners hail ff7 as the greatest ff but i wonder if the japanese share the same sentiment.

Your quote is from 2008. The engine was developed for FF13, built around the PS3 specs.
They've been working on it long before they knew PS3's marketshare wouldn't support exclusivity. It is now multi-platform. They are porting the engine over to X360. Get the difference ?
