I really liked VIII though, Out of the lot I think it's got the best compilation of not only likable but really well thought out characters |

Final Fantasy versus XIII
More than FFXIII it's Final Fantasy versus XIII that sparks my interest. The main char looks more bad ass. The overall feel is better. It's made by the people KH and advent children which explains the the coolness of the trailer. This might be the Final Fantasy to get. :O The games have no relation to each other next that they both use the power of crystals w/e that may mean. So it has diffrent story, worlds, w/e. I think this gonna be something similar to Devil May Cry, but also with rpg elements. The main difference I think it's gonna be in the lines of Story vs Gameplay.

Doesn't mean anything if they company doesn't want to put a game on the system. It's been pretty apparent that SE isn't to fond of the 360. But hey, you never know. They may just breakdown
Wacky Gen this one is. |

It's a Sony exec. He isn't going to say something that undermines his company. I think he's trying to say that although FFXIII hasn't been contractually tied as a PS3 exclusive, SCEI is trying to get that going.
It's worth mentioning that Square and Square Enix have never sought exclusive deals with Sony. The arrangements were never necessary before. However, with the PS3 looking the way it is, the latter will want to do everything to ensure that FFXIII isn't released on the XBox360 (at least during the six months cited in most exclusivity contracts). Whether SE agrees to a deal is up in the air since they've been big on keeping their options open. However, with the right amount of money, it might just be possible. Quote:
That said, if the PS3 fails to have much of an impact in Japan (and probably the West too), SE will want to reconsider. |

I'm sure FF13 will stay exclusive to the PS3, though. I would like to see a Final Fantasy game though on the 360, as well(not another MMO). But that is just wish thinking. Still, it should be interesting to see how things unfold this gen. |

I think it would make more sense for SE to go back to developing for Nintendo again. They rule Japan, have a large installed base and the company is Japan-centric and recognizable. But the Wii unfortunately doesn't have enough power for the kind of games (at the very least, the main FF line) that SE are striving for.
So yes, if they're left with no choice they just might have to bite the bullet and reconsider releasing more games on the 360. If that happens, that would indeed be the "sign of the times" so to speak, and would assure the success of the 360 even in Japan. Still, I'm not so comfortable with the idea of Microsoft being the leader in another field. I'd rather have Nintendo having that place, or God forbid, even Sony again. While the 360 is a great console in its own right, there's something still so "PC-ish" about the games that get the most praise on the 360 platform. I don't know. With more and more third party developers supporting the console however, maybe that will change for me. |

Don't worry MS won't come out on top, I highly doubt that. I see them winning America, but that's about it.
With they way things are going on now, there is no reason why they shouldn't at least release a FF( not another MMO) game on the 360. Hell doesn't even have to be an FF, could be VP or KH for all I care. Sure it probably won't sell to hot in Japan, but 360 software sales have been solid outside of Japan, and last I checked those 2 franchises sold a lot better outside of Japan. |

Well, don't get me wrong. I do play the occasional PC game. I have fond memories of Planescape and NWN for example, and I enjoyed western RPGs such as KOTOR1&2 for the Xbox. But for the past few years my gaming life (or what's left of it...) has been mostly composed of "console style" offerings. Still, even I can't deny the 360's game library. It's certainly much better than what's on the Xbox of the past generation.

ah, KOTOR Awesome series!
Yes, the 360 has definitely come a long way from it's older brother. Also, seems SE may have added a new one to the FF13 universe. SE filed for the trademark "Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII" back in May of last year. Maybe this one will fall into the last "big" bubble in the FF13 web in the following image: |

I don't care much about how the new titles is going to push the technology of PS3. It's the story and characters that interest me. FFXII character is probably the least memorable for me in all the FF game that i played. The story? i cant be bothered to finish the game, there's just nothing there for me to keep on playing it.
Atleast i finish FFX-2 just to see what happen in the end between Yuna and Tidus but FFXII just doesnt have that pull for me.

Personally FFX and FFX-2 don't really appeal to me that much. I found the latter to be even ridiculous. FFXII on the other hand, would have gone better if Matsuno and co. went all the way and gone for the Vagrant Story vibe, considering the nature of the story of the 12th installment.
Right now, the upcoming FFXIII comes off as a hybrid of FFX and FFVIII—two FF's which I'm not exactly fond of that much. However unlike those two, it's just part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis universe, a concept which has a lot of potential in my opinion. |

I wasn't a big fan of either of the FF games on the PS2 either, of course, I think FF12 is the best out of the lot--still isn't saying much. However, I'm still looking forward to the FF13 games, well not the crappy mobile one. I'm not a big fan of them milking their franchises, but then again, that's business.
