Final Fantasy 13 on the 360!

Sony are going to be pissed.

Quote:

Square-Enix has announced Final Fantasy XIII for Xbox 360 at Microsoft's E3 press conference.

The announcement debuted in the form of a new trailer which initially looked like a Panzer Dragoon game with dragons flying in a trench. A ship lands in the trailer and flying mechanical soldiers drop out. Included in the trailer were massive airships.

Fuck me. I didn't see that coming.

A hint of gamplay was shown and the graphics looked awesome.

Journalism at its absolute finest, there.

Anyway, I couldn't give a shit about Final Fantasy, but I suppose it's good for the 360. I'd prefer to see no exclusives at all, then we can just be happy with our console purchases.

Also, watching Sony's presentation yesterday I saw nothing that made me want a PS3, so I'll wait til the next E3 to see if they can come up with anything remotely interesting. Might get a PSP, though.

Well they're down to MGS (LOL) and the "Desperately needs a good installment" GT now as exclusives anyone gives the slightest shit about.

And Little Big Planet. Did you see the bit of the presentation that used LBP to present the Sony sales figures? That was damned clever.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

No-one (yet) cares about LBP. The general public haven't even heard of it yet.

The best thing about GT5 is that it's going to inspire aceness in Forza 3. Which will hopefully be pimped about very soon and released one week before GT5 hits the shelves for maximum effect.

On the other hand, the Logitec 900 degree wheel is the best thing since sliced sports cars, and if GT5 still works with it...

May 2011, then.

Satire! :arrow:

Must confess, as I'm swaying like a drunkard trying to decide which console to buy*, I think Microsofts E3 announcement was the best.

*And I'm at least a month off having the money... go indecisiveness!

Yes, choosing between a 360 Premium and a 360 Elite can be tricky.

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:31

Get the new 60GB version. But wait for the price drop!

Runcle · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 11:33

The microsoft E3 announcement would have been a whole lot better if the majority of the new stuff wasnt leaked, despite that it was still better than the other two.

I actually have a long list of "I want this" and "I really don't want this". Noise, for instance. Unreliability. Both fall into the latter.

Are they still issues? Funny how everyone assumes the PS3 is silent and doesn't break. I can say with authority that when it's idle, it's louder than my Elite.

The choice isn't really 360 vs PS3. The only thing I like the look of on PS3 that is exclusive is Little Big Planet.

like grim... said I dont think theres been any reports of the new machines being unreliable, although there was an article in the mirror recently about it but they had mucked up their information with the extended warranty from last year.

I think Penny Arcade (yes, I know) summed it up quite well

So the choice is 360 or nothing? Unless you're thinking about a Wii...

Yeah, I watched the trailer and for a brief second I thought to myself. Wow I could finally buy a new FF. The first since FFVII. Then I slapped myself and realised that would be stupid of me.

If they released a directors cut, where they through out literally 20 to 30 hours of content* then I think I would buy it.

*aka grind.

However, the question on everyone's mind is, surely, "Will there be chocobos?"

Yep. 500 gil a bucket. Your choice of soft drink.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 17:03

I'm emptying my materia slot in anticipation.

Sony must be cacking it, again. I wonder if this will result in a big increase for 360 sales in Japan.

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 17:04

FF XIII is still a PS3 exclusive in Japan.

Zio · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 6093

Probably not, since the 360 version isn't being released over there.

Edit: damn my slow reactions!

We won't see a sniff of this game in Europe (on any format) until at least 2010, so I don't think this news will make a jot of difference to this console 'war'.

Fat Princess will be the game that ends it all.

Also, Wipeout, which this forum's own Zio is so eagerly awaiting, he's selling his 360 and keeping his PS3, for that game. And a couple ofo thers.

MGS, Wipeout, GT. Wow.
