Square Enix then proceeded to show a trailer from the game, in which a female protagonist is seen flying around a city. Video shown in the trailer was entirely realtime except for a short sequence of rendered footage showing a train -- our "Away Team" who saw the trailer said it looked "incredible", and will be reporting back further details after the SCE conference today at 4PM PST. The game is being created by the same team behind Final Fantasy X. The game runs on the "White Engine", an all-new exclusive next-gen engine built for Square Enix's future games. It was originally planned for the PlayStation 2 but was later moved to the PS3. This game is part of the three-part saga, Fabula Nova Crystallis FF XIII, which also includes a cellphone prequel RPG and another PS3 title called FF Versus XIII, an action game by the makers of Kingdom Hearts. We'll have more details on this shortly. ___________________________ so far, FFXIII (FF13) is only for PS3, but I expect Xbox 360 and PC versions too... for a number of reasons: i.e. FFXI was made for PC. i.e. at E3 2005 Square showed a demo of what a future FF game could be like on Xbox 360. i.e. X360's version of FF11. i.e. Sega making Phantasy Star Universe for PS2, PC and Xbox 360.

I'm not interested in gaming on my phone nor am I capable on my Green/Black interface. There's apparentl a FF7 Cell Phone game too but I think it requires the phone advertised in Advent children.

Unless FF13 is an online game like FFXI is or PSU will be, there's no reason for it to be on the PC and very little reason for it to be on the XBox 360, at least not for a couple of years.

No reason, except for the what 4-5 million Xbox 360 installed base (possibly 10 million by end of year, at least so thinks MS), and the umpteen million installed base of mid to upper end gaming PC's. Yeah. Except for that, no reason at all. I just hope SquareEnix is getting some major kick-backs from Sony by helping them maintain their near-monopoly on the console RPG. I'd hate to think that they're selling their souls to the devil for nothing.

The only reason FF11 got ported over was to give a bigger userbase for an online game - they won't bother porting FF12 or 13 without a good reason, or at least for a long time. > I just hope SquareEnix is getting some major kick-backs from Sony by > helping them maintain their near-monopoly on the console RPG.

Yeah. > Except for that, no reason at all. I remember reading an article about why Square-Enix hated to make games for multiple platforms. I guess SE figured that the cost to make multiplatform developement team wouldn't be worth the money they could possibly get, most likely from the poor outcome from FF7 and FF8 for the PC. I don't know if they changed their position recently. > I just hope SquareEnix is getting some major kick-backs from Sony by > helping them maintain their near-monopoly on the console RPG.

If you read the history of Square will see the moved to Sony since alwayed them to be creative and complex story lines. They have made their fans very happy and that is the reason they are so strong in the RPG market. Not many RPG like FF series can brag millions of copies for each release in under 30 days. Already looking forward to Final Fantasy 15 and beyond. But square not noted anything beyond 15 so far. > I remember reading an article about why Square-Enix hated to make games for > multiple platforms.

I don't know if > they changed their position recently. I've actually only played FFVII and FFVIII on the PC, which I played first then got a PS and FFIX. FFVII for the PC was platinum hit or something from Eidos, at least in the packaging I had it in. FFVIII is probably the one that killed it, if either did. I know a lot of people that just didn't like the game, I thought it was alright though. However, bad word of mouth -> bad sales. I would guess that most people which bought FFVIII would only bye one, and most likely for the PS. One guy I went to highschool with only played games on his PC. As of a couple of years ago, he was still waiting for FFIX on the PC so he could play it. >> I remember reading an article about why Square-Enix hated to make games >> for [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > couple of years ago, he was still waiting for FFIX on the PC so he > could play it. I've only played the PC version of both FF7 and FF8 as well. The only reason I got the PS was to play FF-9. I've been planning on replaying FF7 on my computer over the summer, once I'm done with all my school projects. >> >so far, FFXIII (FF13) is only for PS3, but I expect Xbox 360 and PC > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > umpteen million installed base of mid to upper end gaming PC's. Yeah. > Except for that, no reason at all. The number one market for Square is Japan. The 360 is doing worse in Japan than the original Xbox did (and that is saying something). There might be 5 million 360s worldwide, but there's maybe 100,000 in Japan (and I might be overestimating the number - apparently 45,000 at launch, about about 1500 per week after that) >The number one market for Square is Japan.

If they prove there's a market, I'd be a little surprised if Square didn't try to make a move into the market, esp if Sony's "don't think of it as a game console" stays at a stratospheric price. Signature"The invasion of Iraq failed to meet the test for a humanitarian intervention." - Ken Roth, Human Rights Watch [http://hrw.org/wr2k4/3.htm] btw, in the Sony press conference, Kaz said there would be two versions of FFXIII on PS3 FF XIII and "FF vs XIII" watch the Sony press conference. i'm 98% certain he said that. if I was mistaken, then i was mistaken, but i'm pretty damn sure. correction+update the title of the 2nd FFXIII game for PS3 is: 'Final Fantasy Versus XIII' there is also: 'Final Fantasy Agito XIII' for cellphones http://www.galbadiax.com/ff13-versus/ ____________________________________ Final Fantasy Versus XIII Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3) was first revealled at a Square Enix press conference before E3 in May 2006. Square Enix's press release says of the game: "Harmony is realized in this alternate tale of Final Fantasy XIII". The game is not a sequel of Final Fantasy XII, but instead a completely independant storyline that takes place in the same universe. The characters will be different than in Final Fantasy XIII (although presumably there will be some sort of connection or overlap). Final Fantasy Versus XIII is being developed as part of the overall FF13 project, which is called Fabula Nova Crystallis, which is latin for "New Tale of the Crystal". The project includes Final Fantasy XIII, as well as Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) and Final Fantasy Agito XIII (Cell Phones). These games will all take place in the same FFXIII universe. ____________________________________________________________ so that's, already, three FFXIII games in production. not to mention: *FFVII remake for PS3 (very likely, unannounced) *FFXI for Xbox 360 *some new exclusive FF game for Xbox 360 (mentioned by Square Enix) *FFCC2 for Nintendo Wii *one or both of the PS3 FFXIII games showing up on Xbox 360 (rumor) plus whatever else I am not aware of. ......can you say MILKING ? :) |
