E3 Madness: Final Fantasy XIII coming to the Xbox 360
Posted by Gary Hodges at 8:46 PM Jul 14, 2008
Among the relatively mundane 360 news coming out today (new dashboard, Mii - er, I mean Avatar support, a modest $50 price drop) comes one surprising tidbit nobody saw coming: Final Fantasy XIII - one of the handful of games named as a reason to own a PS3 - has been announced for the Microsoft console. Not exclusively, mind you - that would be the true megaton announcement - but it is coming, and according to Square-Enix, at about the same time as the PS3 version.
Wow.
Wander over to a gaming messageboard right now and you'll see packs of wild, freerange fanboys snapping and snarling at each other over the news - in either sadistic delight if they're Xbox kooks, or pure rage as Sony zombies. Entertaining reading all around!
So if tonight when you're trying to sleep you hear some sort of strange, wet smacking sound outside, don't be alarmed - it's just some Sony fanboy throwing himself off a tall building. Maybe this guy.

I can't see how any Sony/FF fans out there didn't see this coming. Xbox is just too big in numbers here and in Europe for it to be an exclusive. I am wondering if they waited to see how well MGS did before they made this final decision though.
As a PS3 owner I am worried they will dumb down the graphics across the board to make it level on both systems. MGS and this game were the two games I was hoping would pushed the Ps3 to its processing limits.

"public fraud" :P this has GOT to be a joke :D
I do feel bad to sony, I remember last year the sony building in Ginza had this game showing on every tv screen, they were clearly excited about it. Square giving it to Xbox as well must be a kick in the nuts for sony. But it's not like square were exclusive to sony anyway, they frequently release things with nintendo, why not make games for all three systems, its win - win for them!
