Double check YOUR facts. Although it is a same day release for the US 360 and PS3 versions they will complete the Japanese version for the PS3 entirely before localizing it to the US and starting on the 360 version. - Elranzer, on 08/02/2008, -5/+17March 2010
- Darkangel754, on 08/02/2008, -0/+11They showed the first XIII trailer before XII was out
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -0/+11Well according to the K-Mart employee they might launch it in October.
- Seafea, on 08/02/2008, -3/+12Holy ***** *****. I do hope this isn't the "big annoucement" from SE this weekend though, cause as gooder news as it is, that would be a bit disappointing.
- BestJaxx, on 08/03/2008, -0/+8This is a gift to people who are already buying the movie on Blu-ray, which would be a lot of people.
- skennedy, on 08/02/2008, -1/+9wow, this is awesome.
- Jeremyz0r, on 08/03/2008, -3/+10So SO4 is going to to the 360 based on 'theoretical' CPU performance? 110% Ignorance. Let's see the 360 stream Procedural Textures, oh wait YOUR PC CAN'T EVEN DO THAT! They did it only because of the Western Market share with the 360. That's it, corporatism at it's finest.
Lying bastards, just like Capcom. S-E is following suit too. - Shugii, on 08/03/2008, -0/+6I'm just happy that advent children is coming out for blu-ray... I guess it was bound to happen, just needed a date.

"In the video, director Motomu Toriyama didn't beat around the bush when Nomura asked him questions about the 360 FFXIII. Starting off, he reconfirmed that, "We haven't changed the direction of the development. We're making the PS3 version first, and then porting to the 360 later." That means that since the game will be released simultaneously on both platforms in North America and Europe, the PS3 release will be held back in those territories until the 360 version is complete.
Furthermore, Toriyama also revealed that, as of July 29, his team hasn't yet received the tools needed to begin work on the Xbox 360 version of FFXIII. "I'm telling them to not think about the Xbox 360 right now," he said. "We can think about it after the development kits arrive."
The designer also reassured PS3 owners that the game's quality would not suffer due to the 360 port. "We aren't going to change any specifications [of FFXIII] because of the multi-platform announcement," he declared. "Right now, we're fully concentrating on the PS3 version." "
So thanks to the 360 the PS3 owners are getting shafted. I find that this has to be with some backdoor dealings because they aren't holding back last remenant. As a matter of fact games that recieve delays on the PS3 on't hold back the 360 version but I noticed with the exception of one title (unreal tourney 3) that they hold back PS3 releases until the 360 version is done. - EllimistX, on 08/03/2008, -0/+6Yeah, cause that's the first guy I think of to ask for a release date...
- dansai, on 08/04/2008, -1/+6I really hate that I bought a HD-DVD Player. Damn you Blu-Ray!
- JollyDumple, on 08/03/2008, -4/+9The funny thing is that Dragon Quest turned out to be many times better than FFXII, in my opinion at least.
- Evi1d33d, on 08/03/2008, -0/+5They are probably running on the same engine and the developers are just too lazy to port them.
- staticneuron, on 08/03/2008, -2/+6Your paying for the movie idiot. The demo just comes with it.
- darkchild82, on 08/02/2008, -1/+5Wow, even the demo can't be released anytime soon.
- kinseyincanada, on 08/02/2008, -1/+4wow March 2009 just for the demo, so the American release date must be years away.
- jo21, on 08/03/2008, -0/+3the development for the xbox360
and the ps3 english will be put on hold until that one is finished :( - foltaggio, on 08/03/2008, -0/+2So it'll be out right before the world ends? :(
- Shugii, on 08/03/2008, -0/+2Pfft... xbox can have star ocean lol
- InorganicMatter, on 08/03/2008, -0/+2I would remind you of the $50 Halo 3 demo, aka Crackdown.
- frepnog, on 08/03/2008, -1/+3oh ***** you advent children was awesome.
- dandonia, on 08/03/2008, -0/+2Gotta love the Blu-ray.
- vivisimonvi, on 08/02/2008, -4/+6SO4 and Infinite Undiscovery have NOT been announced for PS3 at SE's DKΣ3713 Private Party. the latter remains an Xbox360 exclusive unfortunately. As for SO4, the tri-ace team explains why this game only works for the 360:
http://gameinformer.com/News/Story/200807/N08.0723 ... - dandonia, on 08/03/2008, -1/+2Lol, I bet the demo would have sold well anywhere.
- Harbinger67, on 08/03/2008, -1/+2This is exactly why I checked this article/comments section out...hoping to find out info on the "announcement". I will be phenomenally disappointed if this is the announcement. They said that it would not involve the upcoming AC box set thing though, so I still have hope. We already know that Square likes the last-minute 'after the credits' *oh hey we almost forgot* announcements
- bloodredxxx, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1yeah! we can't get enough Final Fantasy! nevaaarrrr! http://webfindr.net/cat/ps3/
- phinn, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1Obviously you pay for the movie. But how else are they gonna sell that movie really. It wasn't all that great. No where near as good as FF-VII was at least.
- phinn, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1Thats why I waited. Glad I bought a PS3. It does it all.
- bagboyrebel, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2did we watch the same advent children. The movie with almost no story, and was pretty much one big, over the top (in a bad way), fight scene? The movie sucked, and yet all the fanboys act like it's the best video game movie ever.
- ociris, on 08/03/2008, -0/+1I hope they release it here in the US. Can't wait to watch this in BR and having the demo is a definite plus. Although i wish Square would also release a demo via the PSN or Live, just in case the movie doesn't come out here.
- JollyDumple, on 08/03/2008, -1/+2So when do we get to know something about the game?
- Darkangel754, on 08/02/2008, -6/+6The 360 version isn't being made til the PS3 version is done so I doubt the 360 demo would come out any time soon.
- Darkangel754, on 08/03/2008, -3/+3People bought GT5: Prologue
- shanemeh, on 08/03/2008, -2/+2Well it took them 2 years for something playable.. Bravo.
- Shugii, on 08/03/2008, -2/+1I think you just got ripped a new hole haha... burrrr!!!
- bagboyrebel, on 08/03/2008, -7/+6The downside is that you have to buy Advent Children.
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -2/+1the article sort of makes it look like the demo comes with the movie... douche
- SLCovington, on 08/03/2008, -3/+0I absolutely love the Final Fantasy series. This is wonderful news! Hopefully they dont wait too long on the US release, though I'm sure the Japanese version will have a much better "collector's edition" version and I'll have to order that one from EBay. ;)
- Jorlock, on 08/03/2008, -6/+1Thank God the demo isn't coming with a $50 dollar game this time (final fantasy xii with dragon quest)
- inactive, on 08/02/2008, -8/+3Meh won't get my hopes up for the states.. XIII for 360 is good enough.
...unless the demo comes out on LIVE. -
