How Did Final Fantasy 13 Exactly Go To The Xbox 360?

– March 12, 2010Posted in: Gaming

Not really the packaging, but 13 DVDs? C’mon!

As many would have known by now, the Xbox 360 has already received the used-to-be-PS3-exclusive Final Fantasy 13. That little decision Square Enix made had sparked a whole wave of rage from the PS3 owners, but that’s the thing of the past now.

But the question still remains, how exactly did the Xbox 360 get Final Fantasy 13? Wasn’t Playstation series supposed to be the only one that is traditionally supposed to receive the core Final Fantasy games?

Apparently, the reasons for releasing Final Fantasy 13 on the Xbox 360 is not rocket science at all. Square Enix had mentioned that the Xbox Team has been asking them to make a Final Fantasy game for their system, and what’s better than to use an existing game for that purpose? Using minimal time and effort to translate an existing game onto a console which is widely available in the US and Europe market.

The Xbox team has been asking us to have a [Final Fantasy] game developed on our platform.Also, the Xbox 360 console is available in many homes in US and European markets so that was not really a hard decision to make.

Not really rocket science, isn’t it? It’s all about the profits made by them! Even if the Xbox 360 version is comparably crappier than the one on the PS3! Might sound a little ridiculous to several players, but other than that… well, I guess that’s how Square Enix is like…

And I always though Square-Enix had more loyalty than that to their Sony life-savers. Apparently it was too much wishing for corporate-virtues.

It’s a tough world we live in D:. While there are game developing companies that wants to work what’s best for their community, their publishers are usually the ones that wants to maximize their profits.

Kind of a bad way to say it, but look at the recent drama with Modern Warfare 2! The heads of Infinity Ward got fired because of some issues with Activision @_@.

All the disc-swapping would be disastrous! And people were already complaining about 2 discs swapping xD.

Actually, the 360 version is three discs, but compared to the PS3, the 360 version is downgraded to 576p and the cutscenes play at lower quality. On the PS3 version, it plays in 720p for gameplay and 1080p for the cutscenes with lossless audio.

Ha that image is hilarious, anyway back to the point. I kind of figured they would make a 360 version. The goal of any firm is to make money, and they could make more money with having a game that worked for the 360. Considering this game took FOREVER to be released, the initial ps3 market was small, so it made sense to make another version for the 360. Considering they hardware is similar, it was the prime choice over making a Wii one.. and the fact that the Wii couldn’t handle two minutes of Final Fantasy 13.

This game is awesome, I’ve only played it for 5 minutes, but I’m on my way to purchase it now. I agree with others that 7 was the best, but we need to take into account that this game embodies all that a Final Fantasy Game is. Sure it lacks a few things, but this is the First NEW NEXT GEN Final Fantasy, so now thy can make an even better 14

Isn’t 14 an online game, is it considered a core game of the Final Fantasy series? o_o
